Moonstone Academy: Studio Supersoft Teases Its Next Adventure
Indie developer Studio Supersoft has kicked off the new year with an exciting announcement that’s sure to pique the interest of fans of their charming life simulation creature-collector, Moonstone Island. In a delightful surprise, they shared a teaser clip on social media, calling out, “Who wants to see what we’re working on next?” What’s brewing in their creative cauldron is a game titled Moonstone Academy, described as something between a sequel and… a non-sequel? The official Twitter account cheekily stated, “Not DLC but not sequel but also not not sequel. Another entry into the Moonstone universe.”
The brief clip of Moonstone Academy showcases the same stunning pixel art that fans adored in Moonstone Island. This time, however, there’s a refreshing twist: the action unfolds from a slightly angled perspective, featuring a uniformed character dashing up a flight of stairs before soaring into the sky on a magical, propeller-equipped bike. It’s a glimpse that hints at a school setting, where the skies might be filled with fantastical flight moments.
While details about Moonstone Academy remain under wraps, it’s likely that the beloved creature-collecting and life simulation elements from Moonstone Island will make a return, much to fans’ delight. The original game holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, with players praising its clever blend of gameplay inspirations from Stardew Valley and Slay the Spire, all wrapped up in a uniquely enchanting vibe.
For those eager for more indie games on the horizon, there’s plenty to keep an eye on in 2026 and beyond.
