Hello everyone, allow me to reintroduce myself 😎 I'm Tyrone, also known as Stone online. I'm a game dev who's worked as a narrative designer, game writer, and script editor (credits from recent works in the alt text). Currently open for work, feel free to DM me here for inquiries!

Which one appeals most to you? Mabel, Fuyuko, or Oleander? #indiedev #otomegame #yurigame

like i think we kinda should more than anything be making sure people dont feel like they HAVE to turn to llm assisstance. its a lot easier to say "just don't do it" but if just not doing shit was that easy, people would never do anything harmful ever 😭

Yo guys, Low Effort Romance COMPLETE demo is releasing TOMORROW on STEAM! Do you miss Hal? Because he gets an EXTRA chapter on the FULL demo! (Also an extra CG, and an extra 20k words WHOOP) #ShowcaseThursday #indiegame #otome #gamedev #visualnovel

If people are worried about the environment and water usage, I'd rather people stop eating animal meat than stop using RenPy, truly... 👀

I’m seeing a lot of people who feel upset and betrayed about this. I’d like to give some perspective on this as a software engineer to help other game devs understand it better. Specifically, I want to answer what is he saying, what does it mean, and what does it mean for you specifically.

The #PowerofPride2026 bundle has just hit a combined $30K!!! Thank you for the incredible support you've been showing for queer creators ❤️🧡💛 Our next goal is $40K 🎆 $60 Bundle: itch.io/b/3682/the-p... $10 PWYC: itch.io/b/3684/the-p...

Lelouch (12mth old cat) is in his teenager phase and isn't as affectionate as before... I'm sad. 😭 I miss my baby...

Previously 13+, THE COMMUNITY NOTES ARE WRONG will probably have to be updated to a 17+ rating after some of the newer CGs and scenes.

I love graphs so this is super cool to see for me! My own submission THE COMMUNITY NOTES ARE WRONG is in the Narrative (Game) and Romance Genre, and includes explicit lesbian, bisexual and PoC representation!

We were going to post a tracker graphic for our first goal, but we've already hit $5K on the main $60 bundle! Combined with the $10 PWYC bundle, we're at over $8K. Thank you everyone! Our next combined goal is $10K - let's fill this heart up 💕🏳️‍🌈

Indie visual novels are and will always be some of the most beautiful, emotional, heartfelt, funny, and genuine stories I have ever played. Indie VNs make people feel seen and heard. And if you don't get that you are truly missing out.

It's nice when there are Asian characters in EVNs that aren't just Japanese.

Happy Pride Month!!! The Power of Pride Bundle is live now ❤️ 396 games made by queer creatives are available all in one bundle from now until July 6th! If you'd like to/are able to support Bloom along with hundreds of other creators, now's the perfect chance~

Our Jam Theme Editor has been revamped! We scanned hundreds of custom CSS jam pages to find new options for the theme editor. Jam hosts can enjoy easy access to font options, new color controls, more background options, copy & paste themes, and more! 🎨 Check it out: itch.io/t/6429680/ja...

The #PowerofPride2026 is the featured bundle on the front page?! 😳 What an honor! Thank you @itch.io! 🌈💕

"you just don't like romance where both characters are nice and have no red flags" what if there was a romance where the characters are so insane it loops back around to being healthy somehow

My schedule for this week! Wanted to kick off pride month by celebrating two queer #amare games 💕 🦉 Mythic Love: Iberian Legends dev: @platonicgames.bsky.social ⚔️Love the Guard, Be the King dev: @ligianunes.itch.io #sailorotomestreams

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈✨ Read my plans for the month here! Plus a little ramble about myself as a bisexual indie game dev. www.patreon.com/posts/happy-...

Extremely excited and honoured! Let's go!! ✨🏳️‍🌈

The Power of Pride Bundle 2026 is now out! I was one of the organizers, and it was an honor to work alongside such wonderful and passionate people #PowerofPride2026

It's here! The Power of Pride Bundle 2026 is now live on Itchio! All in support of 284 queer creators and their 396 creations. View the bundle on Itchio here (until July 6): $60 Bundle: itch.io/b/3682/the-p... $10 Pay-What-You-Can: itch.io/b/3684/the-p... #PowerofPride2026

To be specific, I think Ayla would wear the monthly ones because her prescription probably something bad like -4.75. Cheri wears dailies specifically from the brand Gal Never Die. Levi has 20/20 vision.

When writing, I leave little hints here and there that Ayla and Cheri are canonically Asian but the biggest hint is probably the fact they wear daily coloured contacts.

Sound producer needed for a fantasy Otome JRPG! This game is being made for the Otome/Josei Game Jam. An adventure-filled VN with a new love interest! Celestine and Lune anger a sage and end up trapped in her mysterious gourd. Now the bickering pair has to escape, or else they’ll be stuck forever.

I'm really tempted to host a gender bender game jam...

A certain someone's kiss scene was written today.

The hardest thing for me to ask an artist is "Can she have bigger boobs?"

Sooo, before the full demo we're releasing a limited-time alpha demo for you to get a taste. I say alpha demo but it's already 25k+words! Imagine the complete demo! Play it here: azurextwilight.itch.io/low-effort-r... #indiegame #gamedev #otome

CG preview!!! Thumbnailing these is taking more time than I expected...

In COMMUNITY NOTES, Ayla is 25-26 because I wanted her to be in the middle of her singer-songwriter career, and been in a significant romantic relationship for long enough she'd grieve when it ended. Cheri is 20 because I wanted her to have started being Ayla's fan in high school (15), when (1/2)

We are happy to report that the revenue splits have been adjusted. Our team will be reviewing the percentages to ensure that all participants who opted into receiving revenue from sales of the bundle are correctly assigned.

Hey gang. We wish we had some kind of exciting announcement leading up to the launch of our bundle, but circumstances beyond our control make us unsure if we will launch on time at all. The story isn't new for most of you - it's unfortunately the continuing erosion of service from @itch.io 🧵

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

I've learnt that if someone is asking for game recommendations on social media, they are more likely to click on something that's worded like "This game has what you're looking for [insert link]" rather than "My game has what you're looking for [insert link]".

It's inevitable to get hate when you're an indie dev, but turning that into a marketing opportunity can be very powerful! "Hate" tends to spread outside your usual circles, leading to a lot of new eyes on your game. Personally, I ride that wave, but I understand if it's a lot.

Chapter 2 of Levi's route is like 90% fluff lol. 5,000 words in, 5,000 more to go!

I've been sitting on this devlog for some time now, but I think I've finally organized my thoughts in a way that makes sense! You can check it out here ⬇️ nightlightwrks.itch.io/bloom/devlog...

Meet Lucien, an editorial photographer with a knack for capturing fleeting moments! ⋆⭒˚.⋆ He's worked hard to build up a good portfolio and run his own business - primarily doing wedding shoots, but he picks up additional gigs... Come meet him in our upcoming game this #OtomeJam!

Blurry... what is happening... who...? #otome #amare #indiegame
