Happy new year everyone, lets have a good time today and in the next year and try for great things in 2026! 🎉🎊🎆 As for me? Just working on more of my art for the sequel to "We Could Just Be Annoying!" All the art's here, now I need the title so I can talk about it in 2026! #vndev #art #visualnovel

I came across a great plugin for Blender that enables you to manipulate objects in Blender with VR controllers, and I wanted to see if I could use it to aid in creating animation reminiscent of hand-and-rod style puppetry. I'm still fine-tuning this, but I'd wanted to share my workflow thus far!❤️

Happy new yuri everyone!! May your year be blessed with lots of girls kissing and may Oomfie bring you lots of games 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 #Yuri #GL #GirlsLove #百合 #Yurisky

I decided to design Mel and Millie's parents!!! #art #oc #originalcharacter #anime #dark #indiedev #visualnovel #horror #RPGMAKERHORROR #liminace #doodle #drawing #ibispaint #loveineverblood #LiE #cabinfever

Finally, we get to participate in #wishlistwednesday with Grave Regrets. 🖤 Featuring story-rich psychological horror and cute anime girls, what more can you ask for?

Because I have no clue what's good for me, Bun's Dream has a small song! It's a small part of the game, but given I am very new to writing music and have never done something like this before, it's one of the bits I'm most proud of. It represents growth and trying new things to me! ❤️

Lucifrid and MC from @nefferinthia.bsky.social's upcoming otome game Our Light Affliction: Spider's Covenant!! I'm excited to work on a game with yandere love interests 🫣 (Lucifrid has 4 hands because he's a spider apparition 🕷️) #indieotome #vndev #amare #maleyandere #indiegamedev

New devlog is up!!! We’re getting fasterrr #visualnovel #indiedev sudachys.itch.io/something-bo...

2025 has been a year of birth and growth for #FatesMasquerade. Watching the princes come to life on screen was exhilarating! We’ll continue to improve the game & craft a truly immersive, captivating, romantic #otome for you in 2026. Thanks so much for your support this year💗 #indieotome #otomegame

Wrapping up the year at Borderless Studios. Clock Out at 2 hit 2,700 wishlists and made its way to events like GaijinPot Expo, Game Devs of Color, Scream Fest, and Tokyo Game Show. Next year is about more updates, and getting the game into more hands. Grateful for everyone following the journey.

Some Reddit comments assumed the Grave Regrets trailer contains AI animation, so I want to point out: there's zero AI, and every frame is hand-drawn. If anything I almost wish it was AI-assisted with how long it took to animate a simple head turn. Will be sharing more progress shots in the future.

Character design for a bullet hell I want to make at some point... #art #oc #originalcharacter #anime #dark #indiedev #visualnovel #horror #RPGMAKERHORROR #liminace #doodle #drawing #ibispaint #loveineverblood #LiE

With the new year coming I thought it'd be nice to show off some art for another game, aka, the sequel to "We Could Just Be Annoying!" :3 The art isn't done yet, but it'll hopefully be the title screen once I'm done! And it looks like we'll have two extra main characters! :D #pixelart #vndev #wip
