Pocket Mirror, a horror and puzzle-solving game rich in story and art, was the first title AstralShiftPro put out, free of charge, at the end of 2016. Because Pocket Mirror did well, the team opened up to a new kind of creative work, grew fond of game-making and began to treat it as a possible career. For Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum the team approached Komodo Entertainment, formerly Degica Games, because it had a large library of RPG Maker titles and was then the official publisher of RPG Maker itself. The studio's best-known title, Little Goody Two Shoes, has officially been in production since 2021, as the team put it, though the idea predates the original release of Pocket Mirror in 2016. Little Goody Two Shoes began as a very short prequel to Pocket Mirror, planned to look at Elise's story and bring closure to some parts of the narrative. Signing Little Goody Two Shoes with publisher Square Enix allowed the studio to be officially incorporated in 2022. Pocket Mirror's success leading the team to see game-making as a possible career, set beside the Square Enix signing behind the 2022 incorporation, may suggest two stages in how the team moved toward working as a studio. Among the most marked influences, which the team calls essential in shaping the dreamy atmosphere and style of Little Goody Two Shoes, were iconic 1990s shoujo series such as Magic Knight Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura and Revolutionary Girl Utena. The team says it has a sweet spot for horror in movies, games and novels, a shared interest it could not help but bring into its games. Looking back on Pocket Mirror, the team's main takeaway was to deliver the narrative more directly and to provide quality-of-life features such as a skip option, so that getting all the endings would feel fun and engaging. Shoujo inspirations beside a love of horror may suggest a style that mixes sweetness with unease. A first game rich in story and art, set beside the team's lesson from Pocket Mirror about telling the story more directly, may suggest that the story mattered to the team both in the game itself and in what it took from making it. Most members of the team are trained in software development or graphic design. The team told Eurogamer that there are not many active publishers in its national market, as the team described it, and even fewer funds supporting game development, which forced it to look for support abroad. Training in software development and graphic design, beside a first game with strong narrative and artistic components, may point to backgrounds that fit its projects.
