Sunny Side Up, the developers of Little Witch in the Woods, have been super busy as of late. Always working hard on their game, they also recently revealed some new goodies when they took part in the Wholesome Direct by Wholesome Games. Many games were shared in the direct, but none quite so exciting as the new footage of Little Witch.
So, we did get a new trailer not that long ago. However, the developers recently announced that they will be releasing another new trailer when they launch their game on Tumblbug, the Korean alternative for Kickstarter.
They also announced that there will be a demo released alongside the trailer. It seems that the demo and trailer will both be a part of the crowdfunding project, so we will just have to wait and see when these will become available to the rest of the world.
For more information about Little Witch in the Woods, be sure to follow the developers on Twitter.

It is likely painfully obvious that MyPotatoGames adores Animal Crossing. Additionally, as a website that provides wholesome video game news, it seemed imperative to create the following article. An article that is a crossover between Animal Crossing: New Horizons and various games which get a thumbs up from MPG.
It is true that we have featured some video game design ID codes in previous articles. However, this crossover article features a huge variety of some seriously cool video game-themed Animal Crossing: New Horizons designs that you can use in the game.
Getting the custom designs app on your NookPhone will allow you to create your own designs and to scan QR codes created by others into your game. However, in regards to clothing with QR codes, you will only be able to place tiles, or wear designs as tank tops. However, you can use Nook Miles to purchase the Pro Design upgrade. The upgrade can be purchased from the Nook Stop terminal at Residents Services for a reasonable 800 Nook Miles.
This will allow you to create different items of clothing as ‘Pro Designs’. There are various types of clothing you can then choose from. Examples include balloon-hem dresses, hoodies, sweaters, coats and more. You can also scan QR codes of Pro Designs from New Leaf.
However, to do this, you need to unlock the Able Sisters clothing shop on your island. In New Horizons, the Able Sisters donβt just sell clothing. The prickly pair have a curious kiosk located at the back of their store. Here, you can save and share designs made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons via Creator ID codes, or Individual Design ID codes.
Providing you have a Switch Online Membership, (and have purchased the Pro Design upgrade), you can use this feature. And despite the game being just a few months old, there are already an astounding number of awesome fanmade designs via the kioskβs portal. Here are just a few of the best gaming-themed ones:
And as the top potato of MyPotatoGames, Henry naturally had to have his very own t shirt as well ππ₯

For those that missed it, Coral Island is an upcoming farming and life-sim game that has a healthy focus on environmental awareness, and cultural representation in video games, not to mention some absolutely wonderful artwork and an ingenious story to tell.
After my in-depth interview with Stairway Games, I learned very much about this most wholesome indie game. Things like what kind of beautiful minds were behind the making of this game, as well as what Coral Island is all about. Now, the developers have divulged even more goodies that we can expect to see in their upcoming epic adventure.
In the recent dev update, we got a close look at some of the characters that we will encounter in the game. Characters such as the local doctor, a marriageable character that takes care of the villagers, loves chess and can often be found shooting billiards when not chilling at the beach shack.
We also got a peek at the Mayor that will be in charge of Coral Island. He is a man well versed in the goings on of Coral Island, as well as having a deep knowledge of the islanders themselves. These are just two of the characters that were revealed in the recent update. Check out the dev blog page to see more.
It wasn’t just NPC’s revealed in the blog post. The developers also shared a bit of what we will see when it comes to the plant and animal life that we will have on our farms. We will get to grow some classic fruits and veggies, like strawberries and potatoes. There will also be some island style vegetation, like starfruit.
When it comes to the animals that we will be raising, not too much has been revealed yet. There will certainly be pigs. And anyone who is aware of what island life is like, you can be sure to expect some chickens clucking about as well.
Now, it be would nigh on impossible to run a successful farm without a home to rest your head when not tending the many needs of the farmstead. The dev update gives us a closer look at the interior of your farm home, as well as what it will be like to customize your home. Yes, you will be able to change the interior to your liking, so that way you can have max comfort in your chill zone.
While I have given a close look here at the update for Coral Islands development progress, there are many more details to be had on the blog page itself, including some goodies you should totally know about.
You can also get much more information by following the game on Twitter, and joining the conversation on Discord.

Hokko Life is an upcoming farming and life sim game with loads of customization options and some absolutely adorable graphics. Robert Tatnell, the developer of Hokko Life, has recently released a load of great new details about the game, including a reveal trailer.
Another big announcement for this super cute upcoming farming indie title is the release of Hokko Designer, a new app that will allow you to upload some custom designs for your clothing in Hokko Life. The app will let you preview your designs on the clothing of two different characters from the full Hokko Life game, which you can then transfer to the full game when it releases.
Simply download the app, use the template to create in your favorite painting app (photoshop, adobe paint, etc.), and you’ll be ready to look your sharpest when the game launches in early access sometime this year.
The developer also mentions that Hokko Life will have its own in-game designer for clothing and furniture, and that only the pre-launch designer app will require a separate painting program.
With all the new information coming out all the time, I grow ever more excited to try this amazing, Animal Crossing inspired life sim.
