seeing tokyo godfathers reference footage that they shot for the animators and satoshi kon himself is the reference model for hana. He looks so happy doing it too

Feelin pretty energized and excited about the next couple under heaven builds Like I'm happy with part one, but I feel like this is where we start really getting into what makes this story unique

Hey folks, we just released a quick bugfix patch for the public build to address a sprite that wasn't displaying properly. If you haven't already played it, please redownload the build from Itch.

Chapter 6 is now available for free on itch! Check it out here: itch.io/dashboard/po... With part one completed, we hope you'll enjoy diving into what's to come in part two Dev logs and more to come next week.

New update got me to cry. It's so important to make things. Letting yourself find joy in creating, and then being vulnerable enough to share it is beautiful. Definitely recommend this visual novel. Give it a read if you haven't already. <3

Chapter 7 is now available for all patrons! With over 8 new CGs, this is one of the largest updates we've launched to date and- in my own humble opinion- it's really something special. Get it here: www.patreon.com/FaintlySpott...

"Bluesky isn't loading images" Finally... the time of the writer is here... you should read my VN "Visual novels have images" now listen here you little shit,

Deletes your downloads folder cutely

For the sake of having it all in one place, wanted to do a thread of commissioned art: First, the OG by @rosphix.bsky.social (plus icon)

Full resolution assets for chapter 7 are now available for Disc-tier patrons. For the rest of this month: we'll be launching chapter 7 for patrons on the 9th, chapter 6 public on the 10th, and sometime mid-month we'll be getting out the next development update and behind the scenes articles.

V funny to curate my feed well enough to only see people annoyed by discourse but not the thing itself, I feel like a scandalized dandy "Jeeves, you'll never believe what the teens are saying about this 'amazing digital circus'! Never seen it myself- clowns, you know- but it's positively ghastly."

Chapter 7 beta, including 8 new CGs (13 with significant variations) is now available for Wreath tier patrons! Check it out here: www.patreon.com/FaintlySpott... The team put a whole lot of love into this one, and we hope you'll enjoy.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Development's wrapping up and we're currently hoping to have chapter 7 done late this week! After seeing the finished art, I'm very, very excited to get it in y'alls hands.

Was incredibly floored to receive this from @phwog.bsky.social, based on when we met back at further confusion! It's so good aaaa

Deep spoiler for the next under heaven update: the new julian sprites are so cute. I will squish his little cheeks

Important visual novel development lesson: if you have a protagonist with very big antlers that is going to be a problem more often than you would think

Shitpost I made of @faintlyspotted.bsky.social

"My ironclad deck is exhausting and vulnerable" me too, it's not special

Happy pride!! In celebration, here's Ash biting the shit out of Julian's neck (they are very good friends).

Gay fantasy furries will always hit my brain so good

Finally watched ghost in the shell after putting it off for an embarrassingly long time. Good ass movie. Amazing visuals. Having some of the same feelings as when I finally saw Blade Runner of seeing it in contrast to other cyberpunk media I experienced beforehand.

This is a chaat papdi appreciation post

Me every time I repost something from the under heaven account

Important component of the writing process: sitting down to try to fix a mechanical plotting issue and ending up daydreaming about That One Scene That's Gonna Fuckin Rip instead

Man shadowrun: dragonfall and hong kong were some good-ass games Like genuinely excellent examples of the virtues of a really tight, focused scope that do exactly what they aim to do.

Just got back from this earlier!! Was great

Wrote up my thoughts at greater length: backloggd.com/u/FaintlySpo...

Credits rolled on FF16. What an odd game. Writing-wise it committed the pretty common RPG sin of wanting to make a strong thematic statement about nothing in particular and the far less forgivable sin of completely dropping the ball on character relationships.

Hello, welcome to our elementally-themed RPG village! We love saying shit like 'the wind be at your back', or 'an ill wind is blowing'. Somebody said fire was alright once and I killed them with a brick.

Imagining the porn dialogue of every stuttery bottom character with a bunch of ellipses as being delivered in the cadence of PS2 JRPG english voice acting

you can now get a print of this CG I made for UNDER | HEAVEN #furryart

Dev update time! There's a LOT to share this time. Probably the biggest highlight: Prints are now available! You can get them here, and we'll be looking at other options in the future: under-heaven-merch-shop.fourthwall.com Full update here: www.patreon.com/posts/157384... But there's also... 🧵

One of the CGs I made for @underheavenvn.bsky.social !

girl are you the bahamut install in final fantasy 16, because you make really ambitious plans and then fail to follow through

A new warrior enters the field... for @faintlyspotted.bsky.social

happy world hyena day you have to be nice to me those are the rules

I'm finally playing final fantasy 16 and man if you made a drinking game out of 'drink when a character conveys an order through a little jerk of their head' you'd just fucking die

yes you've seen the comic i just want to show off that i made a ✨ blog post ✨ about it tuskito.neocities.org/blog/2026/04...

Hey! Welcome to hell, we're excited to get your eternal torment started, just got a couple quick forms for you. Yeah. No, yeah, we did already ask- those ones were in a separate system, sorry.

The digital soundtrack for UNDER | HEAVEN is now live! Check it out here: faintlyspotted.bandcamp.com/album/beneat... This includes all non-stock tracks and will be updated as new tracks are added. Buying now will get all future tracks- we plan to increase the price slightly at the end of each act.

The Sparks of Daybreak --------- This is the canon story of Fekkri Talot. I've been meaning to tell it for a long time. It'll take a while, between other projects. You can find sneak peeks, translations, bonus content, and other ease-of-use features at: www.fekkri.com

17776 is definitely a top-5 pieces of human art and I encourage everyone to experience it once.

Somewhat belatedly realizing that my con presentations should have linked the project instead of personal bluesky, also to anyone else following hi hello please read my VN here: bsky.app/profile/unde...

See you LVFC... Literally receiving this in the terminal from @kanexan.bsky.social was a pretty touching note to end on. Stay safe until next year, all you animals.

From us to you: happy trans day of visibility, in gratitude and celebration of a community far stronger than every past and current oppressor.
