Wow. There's... more of you! Where did you all come from? Welcome!

Scorn caught you looking. (He's naked of his VFX, be nice to him).

Our dream is to normalise romance in games so much that we inspire Sandfall Interactive to work with the developer of Dark Queen of Mortholme to make an Elden Ring-scale version of that game. Please make the big lady step on us and fall in love.

Incarnal has been accepted to a local Melbourne pitching event, where we talk to publishers for funding! And YOU can help us! 🤗 Share our socials! Join our insta (it's getting there, we're very sorry) Fill out our EOI form Ask us questions! Links below! 👇

If you like the idea of monstrous romance, please go visit the Drăculești Kickstarter and have a great look at the amazing work they are doing over there! It's important to support indies, and this is an excellent example of new ground we can forge.

... Where are you all coming from? And how do I put more posts there? Welcome to our monster kissing project! Please feel free to ask us any questions. I will scrounge up our creative lead from wherever she's buried in angst.

There are so many of you! We are so excited to see more interest in this game. With the most recent issues that are plaguing video games, we feel it is even more important to talk about intimacy and relationships in games than ever before. We can't wait to show you what we're doing.

Kinksters, furries, artists: now's your last chance to voice your concerns. DEADLINE is August 28!

We have so many things chugging away in the background. We are so excited to show you more of Scorn and what we have planned with his visual design! We hope you look forward to romance with our walking (sort of) magical trauma engine.

Scorn would be very overwhelmed by all the love you are giving him. We might have to commission our wonderful @sixfoot-ant.bsky.social to make some reacts for us to show how little he knows what to do with it.

And now for some colours:

Are you new to our socials? Excellent! What would encourage you to follow us? What do you need to see from us before you're invested in this concept? Help us help you get excited for kissing monsters and falling in love.

It is so exciting to see so many people interested in our game! If you would like to help, we have some surveys to help us shape our game and seek funding. Please take them if you have the time! Expression of Interest: forms.gle/vtkFx183qdZh... Romance in games: forms.gle/1uAyp7PVBsqb...

Our wonderful concept artist has helped us conceptualise so many lovely gestures from our Scorn. Will you be able to do this in game? Yes. Yes you will.

This weekend we worked with a wonderful animator to bring our 3D model of our poster boy, Scorn, to life. We can't show you the deets because it's pure RnD at this stage. But heeere's a hint:

Hi all! We are coming up to some critical funding events in our local area for game design and one of the most important elements of this is community building and growth. If you want us to get funded, here's how you can help:

You may have seen some discussion about @frostygamesfest.com in indie circles. We strongly encourage you to look at the wonderful games being showcased and wishlist them if they interest you. The games industry is undergoing a cultural shift, and consumer support is vital to ensuring it lives.

Is it pinned post time? Were You Followed is a female-led indie start-up studio based in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia. We want to explore themes of intimacy and vulnerability in games. Currently, we're seeking funding support for our first title, 'Incarnal'. Excited for the future!

NO ONE PANIC. NO ONE PANIC. Our creative director is panicking. No one else panic. @beastsoul.bsky.social Welcome to the party! We can't wait to show you what we've made!

This is the kind of thing our creative director looked at and said, 'Alright, bet'.

So many new followers! Welcome, welcome. We are always happy to answer questions about Incarnal, our in-development game. Please come, sit, have some tea, and ask away.

Because we cannot even begin to say how excited we are, we want to unveil some new concept artwork from @sixfoot-ant.bsky.social for our lovely Scorn. Scorn is our posterboy for our romance simulator game, so expect a lot of promotional content for him in the coming months!

Hello followers, new and quietly lurking. We are Were You Followed, an indie startup working on a romance simulation game with monstrous lovers. We place the intimacy and relationship front and centre and can't want to show you what we're working on!

Oh no, we have been discovered!

Were You Followed is delighted to announce that we have received production funding from Screen Australia for this round of funding. We feel so privileged to be among the few selected for this vital financial support, and we are deeply thankful for the opportunity.
