Game development[edit]

Major\Minor (2016)[edit]

Kyle Lambert released the game Major\Minor in December 2015 on Valve's Steam platform. At this time, it consisted of only the first of twelve planned chapters.

The release of the game's initial episode garnered negative Steam reviews because it was unfinished, over-utilized stock assets, and didn't correctly attribute sources or pay licensing royalties for a Sergal character.[2] over the next year, the game was completed and many of those problems were corrected. The final chapter count of the game was ten, with some of the chapters being merged into one larger chapter (three and six).

To celebrate the completion of the game, a "Complete Edition" was Greenlit and launched on Steam's storefront in October 2016. There were some concerns[who?] that this was an attempt to "whitewash" the review section and start all over again, effectively deleting the criticism that spurred so much debate about the title. To ensure this wasn't the case, Kyle gave a free copy of the Complete Edition away to all owners of Major\Minor, and encouraged them to copy their review to the new store page -- whether positive or negative. Even after this was all said and done, both store pages of Major\Minor retained a largely positive reception (80%+), with users praising its in-depth emotional story and beautifully detailed artwork.

Major\Minor was featured on the 2016 Recommended Anthropomorphics List,[3] and has won "Best Game" in the 2016 Ursa Major Awards.[4]

Winds of Change (2019)[edit]

On February 14, 2017, Klace opened a Kickstarter[5] for his second game, "Winds of Change". The Kickstarter raised $29,410 of the $7,500 goal. It was released on Steam Early Access in March 2018, with the first area finished and entirely voice-acted. The characters are drawn by FeyVaras and the music was created by Fox Amoore and Joel Steudler.[5]

The game was released on Steam in August 2019, followed by a Switch port in June 2021. In 2020, it was nominated in the Ursa Major Award for Best Game category, but lost to "Untitled Goose Game". This would be the last of Klace's works in affiliation with the UMA brand. In 2024, UMA removed the "Best Anthropomorphic Music" category for 2023 due to Civet having double nominations in both album and single, as well as the category itself "irreparably compromised" resulting in its complete removal.[6]

Komorebi (2023)[edit]

On November 9, 2021, Lambert announced his third game "Komorebi" via opening a Kickstarter (with a goal of $9,640) and a free demo on itch(dot)io.[7] The main cast features Sean Chiplock, Jonah Scott, Michael Kovach, and Jesse Inocalla, with Casey Mongillo as Klace. Cassidy Civet wrote the accompanying studio album "Triple Threat", which was released on July 21, 2023, and was followed by the game proper six days later on July 27 for Steam. A Nintendo Switch port is in development.

In early March 2024, Klace severed ties with Civet and removed said album from all music streaming services.[8]

Major\Minor 2.0: (Re)Vision (2024)[edit]

In late November 2023, Klace announced an overhaul/revamp of his first game "Major/Minor".[9] Titled "Major\Minor 2.0: (Re)Vision", this upgrade will feature a completely rewritten script, with tons of new dialogue choices, and quality-of-life improvements. To maintain the spirit of the 2016 original, most of 2.0's music log will be a mix of its original soundtrack and remixed tunes. "Major\Minor 2.0" is scheduled for a 2024 release on Steam.[10] Unlike the original, the game will not be free upon launch.

Discography[edit]

Note: Due to Cassidy Civet being credited as a songwriter for his Triple Threat album; said album is no longer available on music streaming services.
