#SpooktoberVNJam is over, so if you haven't played our entry Creating Paradise, now is the perfect time! It's got religious horror, gaslighting, and trypophobia - everybody likes those, yes? toomanyteethstudios.itch.io/creating-par...

Our entry for #SpooktoberVNJam, Creating Paradise, is now out! If you have the time and inclination to play it, and don't suffer from trypophobia, then we'd greatly appreciate it! toomanyteethstudios.itch.io/creating-par... #renpy #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Our #SpooktoberVNJam entry, Creating Paradise, has made a lot of progress this week and is coming along nicely! Here's a small snippet of the opening scene to entice you! (Please ignore my Hatsune Miku cursor, or alternatively, pretend that it is spooky). #renpy #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Here's the background for the opening scene of my #SpooktoberVNJam entry! I had a lot of fun making this and trying to get it all gross and disgusting. And yeah, the bucket's for exactly what you think it is 😳 #renpy #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Yep yep this guy looks pretty trustworthy! #SpooktoberVNJam #renpy #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Boy I sure do love when I finish some sprites for #SpooktoberVNJam and then realise that they only go to the hips unlike the other sprites which go to the upper thighs 🫠 #renpy #vndev #indiedev #visualnovel

First three sprites fone for Spookyober Jam. I might add a pattern to the sleeves? I feel like it's not super exciting at the moment. #VNDev #Indiedev #visualnovel

Alright, the first draft of the Spooktober Jam script is done with a little over 13,000 words. Next up: drawing 💀 #visualnovel #gamedev

Day one of the Spooktober Jam down and the script so far has over 2,000 words! If it keeps going at this rate, it'll be a little under 10,000 words which I am so damn okay with. #visualnovel #gamedev

It's my birthday this week so I've discounted my #visualnovel games on Steam 😎 Who says that I'm the only person who should get presents? store.steampowered.com/app/2136180/... store.steampowered.com/app/3096600/...

Currently debating whether I also draw the art for my #Spooktober entry next month...thoughts on this style?

Our #visualnovel game Artificial Nexus contains an in-universe AI that never gets anything right, is forced upon characters by upper management, and is generally useless. This is a reference to the fact that real-life AI never gets anything right, is forced upon us, and is generally useless.

(1/3) #O2A2 Jam is over! Some of the #visualnovel games I played and really liked were: Patience is a Virtue by @esbi-vndev.bsky.social esbi.itch.io/patience-is-... connection established by @heartpunchstudio.bsky.social heartpunchstudio.itch.io/connection-e...

#O2A2 jam entry is done and dusted! If you've got five minutes spare and would like to contemplate the end of the world, why not give it a play? toomanyteethstudios.itch.io/one-last-chat #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev

Background for #O2A2 jam is done! I swear, next time I draw my own backgrounds, the game will be set in an empty, formless void. #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev

An hour and a half longer to make it than anticipated, but the main sprite for #O2A2 jam is done! #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev

First day of #O2A2 jam down and the first draft of the script is done! 😎 #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev

Fun fact: some of the company policies that show up in Artificial Nexus are from actual companies that I've worked at! Why yes, I did leave those places as soon as I could; why do you ask? #visualnovel #vndev
