Realizing it's Appeciate A Dragon Day next week..............

Oi! As winter arrives, it's time for a new seasonal recap 🍂 I share what I've been up to on our VN project, and why I've asked everyone in our team to *not* use mass market GenAI softwares, including in their working processes. You can read it below ⤵️ ko-fi.com/post/Whats-u...

Recently finished the choice tree for our VN project! I'm trying to keep the number of branches to a manageable minimum, but have them lead to actually different scenarios. It is indeed quite the balancing work, but hopefully I'll be able to follow that plan when I tackle production in 2026 🫡

Exactly the way I feel towards the people who support me on Ko-fi. Every dollar/euro really counts! Thank you again all so much for your tips and support 🙏

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

As long as I live our games won't use gen AI because we actually care about the people who make them and their craft so, yeah, no.

Is there a name to the art of naming things in a fictional setting? Because it's damn hard and I think it'd deserve one 😩

Facing the reality of writing about a monster hunter (⬅️ has to write about monster *hunting*)

Hi all! These are tough times to make (and find funding for) video games, especially narrative experiences proudly standing for and defending progressive values, but hey! We're still here and keep on going 💪 You can read our latest seasonal recap below ⤵️ ko-fi.com/post/Whats-u... #KofiSharetember

Hello there! I've been taking some time away from studio work for the summer, I'll be back in September with our summer recap 🫡

Ever onward. Early concept artwork for the korphedyn kind by @halybs.bsky.social 🦌🌺

It's disheartening to see publishers releasing such statements, even more so when they work on games that bear so much on their writing. Human-made translation brings necessary nuance and artistry. No algorithm can ever replace that.

One of my Game Camp highlights is fellow game professionals coming to me saying "omg I love the name of your studio" or "omg do you make games with dragons" and me going like "YES DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" and them being like "YES PLEASE" I love you all, thank you for your support! 🥰✨

Back from Game Camp! I was able to present our projects to several people to get enthusiastic feedback, chat about funding options and share exciting words about dragon games 🐉💫

Feel free to say hi if you're coming!! 👋

Doing what must be done. Early concept artwork for the zlatel kind by @halybs.bsky.social 🐦⚡️

Digging up the past. Early concept artwork for the keroton kind by @halybs.bsky.social 🦏🔨

Self-care. Early concept artwork for the taïgorokin kind by @halybs.bsky.social 🐯💎

Time for a new update! This season, my work has been focused on our VN Project, from writing to learning the ropes of Ren'Py (woah, actual game dev?!). I'll also be at Game Camp 2025 this June, so don't hesitate to reach out if you wanna meet there! 🐲 ✨ The full recap ➡️ ko-fi.com/post/Whats-u...

Conflict management. Early concept artworks for the lorgkrator kind by @halybs.bsky.social 🐊

Nice

Honor among heroes. 🐺 Early concept artworks for the eolu kind by @halybs.bsky.social !

Was cleansing our old Twitter account and realized there are plenty of concept artworks I never posted here... 🤔 Don't mind me sharing them all in the next days!

Indie video game dev-artists be like "I must escape burnout, abuse, and deal with queer struggles while satisfying this neurodivergence" *looks at the most complex piece of human creation* "I will do that full-time"

We reached a new goal on Ko-Fi last week! 🎉 Thank you to all of our Supporters for their very valuable help 💗 You can support us to help fund Project 2's prep-production, get exclusive updates, private chatroom in our Discord, and have a chance to test our prototypes! 🐲⤵️ ko-fi.com/thedragongrasp

Thinking about this moment... Peak Monster Monster #MonsterHunter #MHWilds

Chatacabra #monsterhunter #mhart

Glad that even though we spend our time hunting lots of monsters "for balance", the team knows we love our creatures and chooses to grant us small moments like these #MonsterHunter #MHWilds #Seikret

Did you ever have a babysitter? Read the Secret Extra Panel HERE!: www.patreon.com/posts/123535...

Gotta love #MonsterHunter Wilds' monster introduction cutscenes... Goofy or godlike, they're the stars in their environment, with your avatar only able to behold their power. What better way to showcase the stakes you are facing and make you go "oh damn"?

Happy Monstering everyone!! 🎉 We got this 👍 (You can thank @crokmitaine.bsky.social for blessing our Discord with this one 🧡)

New seasonal recap available on Ko-fi! 📝 It's a short one, but we've all been busy with our other jobs and the winter festivities. However, it's an occasion to take a look back at what we've done for AADD this year and the few other things we managed to do! Read it here ➡️ ko-fi.com/post/Whats-u...

"You have found my darkest secret," the dragon said. "You can never reveal it." "I will not," said the knight, "but why is it such a horrible secret?" "It's my one vulnerability." "This?" The knight scritched between the dragon's horns. "Mmm," it purred. "This is nice." "Mrrmrm."

Super excited to celebrate Pokémon Day today and to play Monster Hunter Wilds tomorrow! 🎉 Every new iteration in their franchises never fails to fuel my inspiration for our games 😄 I may be critical of MH's philosophy, but they do know how to make great monsters the stars of their show 👌

My artwork of an adult silver dragon, created for the new Dungeons & Dragons: Monster Manual.

Wikipedia is an amazing tool, Godot is an amazing tool, seeing the two brought together by Maya as a free, open-source project clearly is heartwarming 💕

Yesterday I had our first meeting with our accountant to prepare our first annual accounts and I felt very 🧑‍💼📈 Feels great to summarize all that we've been doing and plan for the year ahead though. Hoping for the best as we're shifting towards Project 2!
