Hey everyone, we're excited to announce a new game we've been working on for several months: The Symbiant II!
Greetings Terrans! The results for our 2024, post-release survey are here! To get answers, we posted the newsletter advertising our survey in the places players were most likely to have supported us: Steam, itchio, Kickstarter, Patreon and our Discord server. Unlike our 2022 survey, we did not advertise the survey on Twitter and other social media. Survey results never 100% reflect reality. If you took the time to answer our survey, it's probably because you fit most of the following characteristics:
Greetings Terrans!
We are hard at work on a brand new project we can't reveal yet! New story, different characters, different locations. Picture not related.
In the meantime, we would love to better know you, which is why we created a short survey.
[FILL THE SURVEY HERE!]
This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Have fun answering!
Greetings Terrans! :D First off, thank you for reading our newsletters! We've been consistently pushing out at least one newsletter a month since March 2022.

What's more, we have a release date for the full game: JANUARY 29th, 2024
Like our previous games, The Symbiant Re:Union will be "family-friendly" by default. A certain DLC will be up for free for you to install after purchase. Depending on your country, you may need to visit other official places to get this free DLC.
Greeting Terrans! :D This update will be quite short:
Greeting Terrans! :D If you remember our announcement back in August, we've been looking for an artist for your next project. We're happy to announce that we finally found someone and we look forward to working with them!
Greeting Terrans! We're kind of amazed we managed to keep up at least one monthly progress update all this time.

It also helps make the game more visible to new players! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2355140/The_Symbiant_After_Stories?snr=2_9_100000_ We're very excited to bring you this August update! This month things have been moving forward with the speed of light and we can't wait to share all the awesome progress we made on The Symbiant: After Stories DLC! (More info below) But first things first! GUYS! We have started planning for OUR NEXT GAME!!! We can't share much yet...Best rest assured another sexy BL from HeartCoreDev is in your future <3 We've been outlining ideas, plotting, and creating our characters, so our next step is to find the right character/CG artist for the project.
Greetings Terrans!
If you missed our last update, here's a reminder that you can wishlist The Symbiant: After Stories on Steam right now. It really helps with the game's visibility, even if you already pre-ordered a copy through this Kickstarter or itchio!

Various improvements to the game's programming: [olist]
Greetings Terrans!
The Steam page for The Symbiant: After Stories is officially LIVE! (As Coming Soon)

WISHLIST NOW >
The first After Story will transport you to the planet of Cayama, where in the main game Brahve finds Danya in the space port and confesses his love to him. What happened to the Odarian in the last two years and why is he so set on getting Danya back after breaking up with him? And where in the world is the Symbiant?
In the second After Story with our love birds you visit Odaria, Brahves homeworld where the team meets his cousin. This story takes place after the happiest ending in the main game. Youll get a chance to explore the luxurious hot spring resort, as well as the surrounding forest nearby and experience some exquisite one-on-one times with Brahve.
Exotic forests, board games with friends, and torrid intimate moments between the two men await in this fun-packed adventure on a new alien planet!
Greetings Terrans! April was yet another busy month for us in-between voice acting sessions, getting sick again, art direction and reworking the game's programming.
Greetings Terrans!
The Symbiant and its extras are 10% off. Tell your friends if they haven't gotten the game yet! =D
We spent the better part of the past month working on the Google Play release, which is not too different from the Steam version, although only on mobile and with no DLC.
A Russian player in our Discord server reported that they were no longer able to see The Symbiant's page on Steam (and couldn't purchase it). Further investigation showed that The Symbiant has been completely banned from the country and we haven't been notified by either Valve or any Russian authority.
This is completely outside of our control and we don't even know why The Symbiant in particular is being targeted. We've been waiting for Valve's reply on the matter.
If you see any more translation hiccup, don't hesitate reporting them at inquiry.heartcoredev@gmail.com :)
Get your hands on The Symbiant Artbook (PDF) and a juicy pack of 4K CGs and sprites from the game! Peak into the behind-the-scenes sketches, art direction process of the game and more!
Hello Terrans!
We hope you enjoyed the game's full release (or that you're enjoying it) and would like to remind you of our Discord server where you can tell us what you think! :D
We are still in the process of fixing typos or bugs reported by players for The Symbiant's localizations as well other potential hiccups. If you've seen any, please don't hesitate to let us know through our email or discord.
Quick fix for launch problem experienced on some systems
Small fixes for Simplified Chinese and Portuguese languages.
Greetings! Due to a mistake we made, you may have seen DLCs appear inside the game's installation folder even though you did not purchase them. This mistake has since been resolved and the DLCs should not appear anymore unless you buy them. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hello dear Terrans!
The Symbiant and its DLCs (Artbook, Soundtrack, Guide and FREE Patch) are about to drop in just 2 days! We are over the moon it's finally happening and everyone will experience the game with all the love and hard work we have poured into it!
As the game nears the release we're also really excited to announce our DLC Package: The Symbiant: After Stories!
Happy New Year to all Terrans!!! :D
We are stoked to announce that The Symbiant will be released on Steam and itch.io on February 2nd, in exactly a month!
Both the full game and the 18+ uncensor patch have been approved on Steam, which means no delay on that front.
Greetings Terrans! We finished inserting French, Spanish and Russian scripts for the game. Additionally, the Thai and Portuguese Brazilian translations are close to completion and will hopefully be finished by the end of this year!
Greetings alien lovers!
We're happy to announce the web version of The Symbiant's demo, available to play on the main project page! To make this possible, the game build's assets have been compressed to make everything 4x lighter and thus easier to load on your device.

Greeting alien lovers! We are proud to announce that The Symbiant's demo is now available in 4 new languages!
Greeting alien lovers! First off, we have an important announcement: The Symbiant's release date has been pushed to February 2023. This new release date will allow us to really polish the game up while we're both dealing with our day jobs and family lives. Having said that, February would still be 2 months earlier than the hard limit we set to ourselves: April 2023!
Greetings, alien lovers!
We spent the last few days working on the game's voice acting. The translations are well underway but as mentioned previously, they will be released after the English version as translating, editing and inserting them into the game takes time.
Progress status:
Writing: 38/38 (100%)
Editing: 38/38 (100%)
Character & BG art: 33/33 (100%)
Programming: 32/38 (84%)
Voice acting: 30/38 (79%)
Audio engineering: 18/38 (47%)
Greetings everyone! For those who don't know, we launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Symbiant. This campaign will help us finish the game quicker and on schedule so we can pay everyone, especially our artist and our voice actors, director and engineer who were a big investment in bringing our characters to life! Progress status:
