Gotcha Gotcha Games, the current owner of RPG Maker software, informed me that Beloved Rapture won the "Best RPG" at their recent 2026 RPGMaker Awards.
I got the email a few weeks ago, but I'm officially allowed to mention it now, since they posted the winners! (-‿-)

It's a great honor for our team, especially to be featured alongside other great projects like Artis Impact & Seed of Nostalgia, both made by friends of Rapturous Studio.
Thanks to everyone from my Discord, as well as many folks from Steam, who voted for us. It will be on sale for 33% off for the remainder of the RPG Maker festival! :D
Robot Rhapsody Update:
Our next game, Robot Rhapsody, is prepping to launch its Kickstarter! You can follow it at the link below. Our core team is returning, channeling the same RPG ethos but now paired with a much different story!

We made the decision to delay it a few extra months, in order to truly refine the battle system.
I brought a new programmer onto the team, who actually creates plugins for a living.
After seeing his work, I'm confident the results will be well worth it, so I appreciate the patience. :D
