Indie developer Studio Supersoft has just revealed its next project that's set in the same fantasy universe as its absolutely adorable life simulation creature-collector Moonstone Island.
The developer decided to usher in the new year with a surprise reveal, posting a clip to social media while asking, "Who wants to see what we're working on next?" What's next, then, is a game called Moonstone Academy, which the team say is something in between a sequel and... non-sequel?

The brief Moonstone Academy clip has the same gorgeous pixel art as the team's last game, this time with a slightly slanted camera angle, as a uniformed character sprints up a set of stairs before flying off on a magical, propellor-attached bike.
I guess the biggest differences this time around, judging off this reveal, is that it'll presumably be set in a magical school of sorts and taking off in the clouds will probably play a big part too. That aside, we don't know too much more about Moonstone Academy, but there's a good chance the creature collecting and life sim elements from Moonstone Island will make an appearance here as well.
Moonstone Island has a Very Positive rating on Steam, with players gushing about how it smartly remixes ideas from both Stardew Valley and Slay the Spire into a game with a vibe all its own.
Here are the upcoming indie games of 2026 and beyond.
