Sketch of a young man with his eyes closed. He holds his hands in the air, touching a swirling white smoke around him. A gentle breeze lifts his long black hair, and the blue rosary he wears around his neck. The background is a pale green, lit unnaturally from below.

Asking for help sucks but sometimes you gotta recognize you need it. I appreciate folks that have helped so far, has given words of support, and anyone who gives any support in the future. Anything helps.

Julian: The hottest guy on campus, Julian is a princely man who everyone adores and a talented artist whose work is described as 'perfect.' Is he really as put-together as he seems, though? Could there be cracks in this perfection...?
The voice that narrates your story. A stubborn man who insists his advice is TOTALLY just a professional thing. Nothing more. It's not like he's interested in living a romance of his own or anything.
Introducing the love interests for 'The Narrator Says We're Meant to Be!', our upcoming amare visual novel!
You can romance a pathetic prince, or... the game's own narrator!? Coming soon!

For a team counting over 15 artists active in various capacities, we've criminally neglected posting high res images of the art that actually goes in our games.
Let's fix that.
Our first game, Fist World Volga, featured a set of lovely black and white illustrations by @locobo.bsky.social.

review the games you play if you want more indie games. even a single review can help an indie studio. and if you go through someone's catalogue and review several....? it helps so much more than you can imagine for small games.

Can't believe it's been ten years since my first game jam. I'm a writer, narrative designer, and developer of many games since 2016.
I'm thrilled to be back at GDC hanging with incredibly talented people courtesy of IFTF's partnership this year!
I'm also available for work!

Our Wonderland is a horror visual novel packed with gay yearning, self discovery, destructive love squares, and overwrought dramatics.
It's also got so many effects that sometimes it feels like you're watching a movie π½οΈπΏ

I've released a free r18 BL visual novel on Itchio for the Trans Joy Jam!
It's a wholesome slice of life story set in an office with employee/boss romance, and the love interest is a trans man πβ¨

I hate American Airlines (and my life right now tbh)
TL;DR: I am out a few hundred bucks because of the airline's godawful cancelation policy and the last week has been god awful for reasons I will not get into.
I just want to recoup what I lost if possible.
