our shoujosei jam game made it :3 !! (i wrote for mister demon king) Royal Dispute features: 💬 typing race gameplay 💬 2 characters to play as with 2 possible endings each 💬 4 cgs corresponding to each ending #ShoujoseiJam #vndev salamey.itch.io/royal-dispute

Lelouch (my cat) just got back from a hospital trip and it's been a stressful and expensive (AU$3.7k 😭) couple of days. Haven't been eating much due to stress and needing to save for procedures, so progress on game dev and art has also been slow... 🙏🏻 Hopefully things get better soon!

Same, Astra. Same. #otome #indieotome #amare

MC's manager always steals her food... even when it's her favourite salt bread. #otome #indieotome #amare

My stance always has been and always will be that if no one os actually getting materially harmed, it's fine. You don't have to like it but people liking stuff you find gross isn't the end of the world. There's a reason horror movies are allowed while snuff films are illegal.

Emrys sprite done! His expressions are so much subtler than Lucifrid's haha

I'm mostly going to be going hard on chibi CG art for the next couple of days! #indieotome #amare #indiegamedev

For my next game I based a side character off my celebrity crush, Amotti from Physical 100. Why didn't I make him dateable?? I kind of regret it...

Bloom will have CGs! Here’s a peek at one of Felix’s ❤️ Isn’t he gorgeous? #otome #amare #indiedev

There's at least one vegetarian or vegan character in all my games hehe.

We cannot express how much your support means to us, thank you!! Felix and Albion’s routes are coming to Itch.io on February 14th! #otomedev #otomegame #indiedev

Finished two poses for the main character's best friend, Emrys! Now on to shading and expressions.

I'm very happy to have come 5th out of 18 games!! I didn't expect to do well in this jam at all ₍^>⩊< ^₎Ⳋ #indiegamedev #gamejam #amare

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

New blog post! 📝 Do people enjoy reading devlogs? #indieotome #yuri #amare #indiegamedev #vndev itch.io/blog/1341928...

I got sent to the emergency department due to a bad lumbar strain from doing a 20kg kettlebell swing... Do not lift with your back, guys. Anyway, I'm out of action for a week or so ദ്ദി(ㅠ ㅠ)... all I can do is lie down right now...

Hello! I participated in the 2026 SWAK Jam as a writer! ..."It Starts with a Summon" is live now 🪄 ⭐Play as a witch/wizard at Athena Academy trying their best to graduate. There are a few methods available to you, so choose wisely ⭐ #SWAK #Otome #VisualNovel #BL apriscent.itch.io/it-starts-wi...

I'm thinking of making shadow sprites like this and listing them for free for people to use as side characters in their visual novels. Would that be useful to you guys as VN devs? Human silhouettes are easy to find but I personally struggle to find ones with anime-ish proportions. #indiegamedev

Our historical drama yuri visual novel Olga Doesn't Die is out now! ❄️ 2 LI / 4 endings ❄️ 2-3 hours ❄️ 5 CGs / 9 custom tracks The imperial family's advisor is a witch, a hag, the devil in disguise Play here: 4noki.itch.io/olga-doesnt-...

"OMG!! You smell so good, girly!" "Jade...!" "What perfume is this? It's super addicting..." "Jade!!! You're too close...!" 🎨: @pixeledbean.bsky.social #sweetvalentinechocolatier #yuri #amare #indiedev Come romance Jade ⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/4303900/...

"I completely forgot I'm worse at drawing guys, so Ryle and Kev took a lot longer. Kev's headset especially took me a long time, because it was my first time drawing a headset. But I really, really wanted to make a Viet, raving, boba-sipping Asian Baby (cat)Boy character, so Kev got his headset."

Making some custom stuff in RenPy! Designing frameworks can be pretty fun. #indiegamedev

The sooner you let go of the perception that "dating sims are cringe" the sooner you'll achieve success as a game developer.

Finished my postmortem for that 7 day, in person, non-VN game jam! #indieotome #yuri #vndev #indiegamedev tenshistudios.itch.io/my-group-mem...

MAHOU SHOUJO SANTA CLAUS is in the top row of magical girl games on Itch! #indieotome

"Hey! Really? Pulling me onto your lap?" "Don't pretend you're not enjoying this..." "...Michael, your, uh, 'cell phone' is poking me." "I'm a fair bit bigger than a cell phone, wouldn't you say?" 🎨: @pixeledbean.bsky.social #sweetvalentinechocolatier #svc store.steampowered.com/app/4303900/...

One of my next LIs wear gyaru fashion while the MC wears subcul! I think gyaru is recognisable but I wonder if the subcul will be. Anyway, I love the clothing brand Dust Devil (and pretty much everything under Acro Tokyo)

It's just a little over 5 days till the 5th annual Amare Game Festival, a celebration of love and diversity in story-focused games!💗 For this game festival, we invite you to create or update a game! Don't forget to sign up on the festival page! itch.io/jam/amare-ga...

I'm not sure what I posted that promoted this DM 😭 Are they trying say I hate wlw in my games (I literally released a fully voiced yuri game a week ago) or are they trying to start a conversation thinking I'll agree????

Even though I can draw, I prefer having someone else make the art while I focus on writing 🫣 #indieotome
