Hello, friends! I'd like to formally reveal the TNoC rewrite that I was working on. The cat mascot below is from 'The Noblest Of Creatures: Stray Cat', which will be one of the most shocking and sad visual novels ever. I expect it to come out in the beginning of 2026. #art #vn #indiedev #game

Blown away hearing @samlakewrites.bsky.social speak at #developconf - when there’s such a strong existential threat to traditional arts from AI, hearing about his clear passion for what he’s making, pushing against the grain to bring so many different forms of art into #AlanWake2 felt powerful xx

In a bout of excitement about #developconf @conwaaaaaaay.bsky.social has printed out a last minute batch of sparkly new stickers to give out! Stick one on your laptop! Stick one on a lamp post! Stick one on your local mp! And see you in Brighton! #vndev #indiegame #stickers #vn #hauntedmerch

@conwaaaaaaay.bsky.social is going to be repping us at Develop Brighton next week! If you’re going too, hopefully we’ll see you there! #developconf #gamedev #indiedev
