we have been LOVING the Up All Night series from @fiendishfiction.bsky.social , so y'all should go give them a peek. We finished Daybreak on stream today and are looking forward to more soon 👀

"Rogue with horrible bard energy who sounds ever-so-slightly like a younger, less weathered version of Ser Bronn of the Blackwater" isn't necessarily a role I'd ever foresee landing in the top 50 most popular games on itch (short-term, anyway), but here we are? 😆 (Thank you all! ✨)

Same, buddy. fiendishfiction.itch.io/chance

More Occult Mingle art! We're hoping to push this visual novel/dating sim by mid-2025, so keep your eyes open. Oh yeah, and thanks for bearing with me as I adjust to this new platform. Cheers! #gamedev

As I push to engage more on bsky I'll be perusing/posting a backlog of art, starting with the character design lineup for my indie studio's upcoming supernatural dating sim (hopefully launching later this year), Occult Mingle. Enjoy!

Our artist just set up his own bsky... go give him a follow! In spite of recent... events... he's trying to find the motivation to post more and engage in more online communities. He'd be grateful for the support!

Did you know that our friends at tofurocks launched the Steam page for their latest project, Blood & Play, during the excellent GameDevs of Color Expo? B&P is a T4T visual novel about a man who was laid off from the tech industry and the vampire who wants his blood. steam.tofu.rocks/blood-play/

Mysterious red chunks... surely that's just Raihan's cooking, right? #SpooktoberVNJam

The Witch of the Wake will be sailing through some turbulent waters, but luckily for us, we're making good progress! We're still working on the GUI and backgrounds, but what do you all think of the look so far? #SpooktoberVNJam

Last but not least, Nieve Torres the Navigator keeps the Witch of the Wake on the right path. She's friendly but aloof, only having taken this job for the money. The things she would do for a simpler life... #SpooktoberVNJam

Ju-Long the Carpenter may have a stern face, but he's one of the friendlier members of the Witch of the Wake. He's a dreamer at heart and loves to meet new people, seeing them as opportunities for a brighter future. #SpooktoberVNJam

Though they'll never initiate a conversation themself, Finch the Medic's another crucial member of The Witch of the Wake. They could be a lot better at keeping everyone else alive if they weren't struggling with their own addictions, despite the fact they'll never admit it. #SpooktoberVNJam

An annoying but necessary member of the crew on the Witch of the Wake, Raihan the Cook enjoys getting under everyone else's skin. The only redeeming thing about this punk is that he's a damn good chef, and no one ever gets scurvy when he's on board.

Who's the best girl on The Witch of the Wake? It's Ceto, Captain Valentine's loyal dog, of course! This Newfoundland pup loves swimming and keeps the crew's morale up despite all the hardships. And yes, she loves pets. #SpooktoberVNJam

Ready to meet the next member of The Witch of the Wake? Kiho the Bosan is a boastful man who tells many a tall tale about himself and his accomplishments in life. Who knows when he's telling the truth about himself? #SpooktoberVNJam

We're introducing the crew aboard The Witch of the Wake! First up is Captain Valentine of the titular ship, a sharp and ambitious woman whose ever-changing moods turn on a dime. The one thing she's consistent about is loving her seafaring dog, Ceto. #SpooktoberVNJam

A new Patreon post is up! In this one, we introduce you all to the crew aboard The Witch of the Wake and just a hint of the lore. Patrons get this post a week early, so if you can't wait to learn more, consider dropping a pledge! www.patreon.com/posts/111442... #SpooktoberVNJam

Introducing The Witch of the Wake, our #SpooktoberVNJam project. Something supernatural plagues a crew of opium smugglers, sowing dissent and causing them to turn against each other. Terror and tragedy abound, navigator Nieve Torres must fight for her life just to survive...

Nameless: The Departed Cycle is now free-to-play... PERMANENTLY. Happy Pride! 🌈🏳️‍🌈🌟 Follow the red star to the Umbral Forest and unravel the mysteries within, in this gay dark fantasy visual novel. Links below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you see this, post a monster Nameless, from our gay dark fantasy game! He may be a manticore, but c'mon... he's adorable. fiendishfiction.itch.io/nameless

Our Occult Mingle KS page is in pre-launch! We're not asking for much; just enough to cover VA and some audio expenses. Please consider slamming that notify on launch button to stay up-to-date! We're working hard on this one. #visualnovel #datingsim #horror www.kickstarter.com/projects/fie...

Boy, we're bad at this whole social media thing, huh? To apologize for being pretty inactive on bsky, how 'bout a full preview of one of the characters from our upcoming queer horror dating sim? 👀
