Surprise! My gothic horror vampire otome Duskbound was released on Steam today 🥳

Otome Games Celebration, the only Steam festival just for otome games, is coming back this May! If you have an otome game released or upcoming on Steam, sign up now—submissions close January 28th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Slowly seeing everything come together for Our Light Affliction and it's looking so nice 🥹

I have a doll MC x yandere dollmaker LI otome idea that is meant as an analogy for the Abrahamic God. The worst part is I think it's theologically sound and also romantically compelling. Someone stop me before I do it.

I think my fascination with yanderes comes from a deep-seated feeling of not being deserving of love. You have no choice but to accept a yandere's love, you cannot rationally argue with it. They do not care if you think they're better off without you. It's a love without guilt.

I mentioned it in my year review devlog but this year instead of new year's resolutions, I'm conducting experiments. I got it from this youtube video I honestly can recommend to everyone: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFBl...

drawing knights from the side vs from the front is always like:

#FireEmblem #ファイアーエムブレム FE聖魔の光石 ゼト

Still getting the last voice lines in but this is our winter jam game pretty much finished! cuteshadow.itch.io/those-stars-...

Lucifrid expressions pt. 3 (last part, for now...)

I also made a Substack for when I want to ramble about game dev related things, if anyone is interested! I am a mailing list stan so I have to practice what I preach

Made a little post about my year in game dev and plans for 2026

The hottest game coming out on Steam today is the second episode of a visual novel. Nature is healing😇

working on sprites for Our Light Affliction! it was so fun to think of 4-armed poses, i ended up giving him a ton lol the arms can be mixed and matched too!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Main menu illustration for Our Light Affliction: Spider's Covenant! Play as Edelweiss, a spirit medium who is caught in a web of conflict between a dangerous supernatural and an exorcist who thinks he knows what's best for her...

You wake up by the side of the road with a headache and a stranger's jacket. You don't recognise the man whose ID you find in the pocket. So why does an older version of you stare out when you turn on his phone? The teaser for my timeloop otome is out for Scream Jam!⌛ endysis.itch.io/unquiet-grey/

another 750 words 💪i'm almost starting to enjoy writing... who would've thought?

wrote 800 words on the script for Our Light Affliction today! we're at roughly 19k words and we're not too far removed from the final choice scene where your ending is locked in

today i worked on the UI for Our Light Affliction! i spent some time ideating in my sketchbook a few weeks ago and i think it paid off in how quickly this came together

so my laptop died right after finishing my spooktober duties, and it turns out i didn't have my CSP settings backed up so i've had to reverse engineer my custom brush i use for all my lineart... i think it's kind of close???

Heeey! I made a lot of tracks for this Spooktober 2025 project called Working Title! #SpooktoberVNJam You can listen to the soundtrack here: selenn09.bandcamp.com/album/workin... And play the game here: barbieronpa.itch.io/working-title

So grateful to have been able to work on this with everyone! I'm really impressed with what we've been able to put together so please give it a shot if you're at all interested

My birthday gift to @nefferinthia.bsky.social This is one of the characters that will appear in their gamejam game, which will release soon. I've been told that this would be one of the few moments of happiness she has. Should I be worried? 😱

It's time to announce my next project, Our Light Affliction: Spider's Covenant! A VN where a girl who can see apparitions forgets a most important truth: To intertwine the mortal realm with the realm beyond can lead to naught but misfortune. #vndev #otome
