What are you suffering for? The Witch welcomes you to a new nightmare. The Witch, and What Remains is now available. 🩸 3d visual novel with animations 🩸 ~1 hr of playtime 🩸 windows/mac/linux 🩸 made in six weeks for #ryonajam

oops I forgot to use the ryona jam tag for that post. I'll make a second promo later

we came so far chat. long live the witch.

Please enjoy your time in the nightmare. The Witch, and What Remains is now playable. #indiedev #godot #gamedev

final day of #ryonajam the witch will be seeing you tonight.

i accidentally made anna left handed when I was making some animations a couple weeks ago but I've just been rolling with it

not everyone is fit for the rut of life. but the witch offers something new. one last week of #ryonajam

aaaand we're entering into the last week of #ryonajam ! am i going to finish all of the stuff i scoped? hell no!!! am i going to have something jank messy and buggy but is playable and has an ending? i hope so >:3 jam ends feb16 so if im locked in and don't post much, stay tuned for the itch link!

I think the worst part of writing psychological horror from my own past feelings is that it gives me nightmares and I'm a bad writer so it's not even gonna pay off by being scary ;-; Anyways last two weeks of game jam!!

animating anime girls dying is probably in the top 3 of weirdest feeling ways ive spent my time

unfortunate new hobby: starting design docs for other ideas i think of while working on Witch and What Remains instead of working on Witch and What Remains

sure anna

it's clear im a skilled writer due to the fact i changed the tense and perspective of this script ~3 times!

by the way im just being lazy with screenshots. the game can be higher resolution than what i post xD

end of #ryonajam week 2! mostly it was all script writing this week, i made some major revisions to the story/structure that i think will serve the game better. not much else i can say since i want anyone interested to read it and see for themselves in february!

apartments still under construction ok

love at first uhhhhhhhhhh placeholder interaction #gamedev #ryonajam

nice, rich presence is easy as heck to set up lol

It's the end of the first week of Ryona Yuri VN jam! So here's my little progress journal - finished system to display "novel" sections - finished dialogue second - finished models for Anna and the witch (time allowing, they're placeholders) - made a rough pass at the game's intro

"i'm the witch" - the witch (the witch, and what remains, 2026)

im biased since it's my game, but I think WWR is gonna be pretty gas

did lots of work on the boring parts, so in more fun news, added barks!

dialog system finito >:D #gamedev #ryonajam

anna you can't hear us from in there

neglected work all morning to do 3d modeling, barf!! #gamedev #indiegame #ryonajam

happy ryona monday friends working title rn is The Witch, and What Remains

here's the quick pitch I made for the discord so we can compare the idea against whatever I end up finishing

going to sleep early because the jam starts tomorrow and tbh i don't feel like doing anything except starting on it. goodnight and can't wait to start doing progress updates on it!

i call this the rise kujikawa art study. super excited to start on the jam project so im trying to replicate the persona q style this weekend

gonna join the #ryonajam so this account will return to generic branding for the next month, so you don't think joshipuck is adding ryona itch.io/jam/ryona-ja...

JOSHIPUCK! will not require the RTX 5090

they went to hockey school for 100 billion years to learn what a "defender" is

a top review of tape to tape (hockey roguelike I keep up with to see The Market) is negative purely because the cpu players are dumb. that's horrifying when I think about releasing a similar project that people will play and give feedback on

its like my wonderful girls are Alive

taking a break from making the cpu today to make the rink texture look slightly better, the low resolution was bothering me ;-;

fun fact, the slap shot in professional hockey is used much much less in recent years compared to ~15-20 years ago, but i think it's super important to the fantasy of hockey to keep it alive and powerful in JOSHIPUCK! #indiedev #godot #gamedev

phew cpu logic has hands. we're getting closer to a rough playable version I can polish up though >:D

pov you are the puck

coding the defender to just stand between the puck and net already makes scoring on the goalie like, ten times harder. Maybe I won't have to overhaul the goalie ai as much as I thought hahaha

how it feels posting joshipuck updates today

frantically renaming my "ai_controller" functions to "cpu_controller"

🚨NEW FEATURE🚨 Versa will now Chase You to the ends of the earth if you take the puck

alright good night coaches

Fiercely passionate, never afraid of a fight, and always willing to play dirty to beat Joshi. Here's number 99, Versa! #indiedev #3D

I should start using the gamedev tags here to see if they work at all for discovery

nice try goalie! testing gifs :^)

I had a few non-sports games planned for after joshipuck but honestly sports games are so fun to make. Id love to try my hand at golf tennis and basketball eventually

by the way they lost and they lost in maybe the most embarrassing way I have ever seen a professional hockey team lose

i love to set up my little prototype scenes. its like playing wtih a dollhouse
