Exhibited The Afterlife Cafe at the largest anime convention in the midwest! Lucky to have made my first video game with an awesome group of women and non-binary folks. Big thanks to @chinniedraws.bsky.social @jolthound.bsky.social @kimikimi-more.bsky.social Shosh and Sonia!

We're barely past day 2 and only 5 bucks away from hitting 85% of our goal, sending this into the streets in the hope of someone wants to throw five dollars at a bunch of crusty indie devs (less than a coffee or cheese of middling quality) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind... #indiedev #chicago

Sorry to announce that our talk with the Amazing @guavapixelstudios.bsky.social is postponed due to 1/2 of DevTalk being real sick. But! Pleased to announce that we'll have them next week! 🗓 Tuesday, May 12th 8 PM EST 👉https://twitch.tv/folkloregames #DevTalk #GameDevelopment #LiveStreaming

El primer humble bundle mexicano, se logro:

The other day I learned my game had ended up on IGDB. So if you're working on a game, check igdb.com to see if your game is there. If it's not, add it. If it is, make any needed updates. You can even get free verification for expedited update approvals and a cool little blue check. #gamedev

I had a great time at C2E2. These showcases are always great for hearing directly from players. It's also really entertaining to watch the live reactions from people. This group was so into it! (The game is mirrored on the other side of the table.) I promise this picture was not staged 😝 #indiegame

First look at the game! Here is an early concept sketch done by one of the artists. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #visualnovel #conceptart

In this visual novel, you play as an “obnoxious” kid who’s trying to befriend a prince, who is also your classmate. There’s fun banter throughout and then it gets really good when the music changes. Read more here: guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html#ro... #visualnovel #gamereview #gamedev

This anime explores the question of what happens right after you die. Mystery, drama, and existentialism all come into play in this show. Read all about it on my blog! guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html #anime #animereview

Snowed In is a cute visual novel involving a snowstorm, making hot pot, and hanging out with a friend. I got to choose what I wanted to add to the hot pot and it felt like there would be clear consequences for my choices. Check out my blog to read more of my thoughts! guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html

This was a fun dating sim to play and I ended up playing it multiple times to try to see all the different endings. One creative aspect of the game is how the UI and dialogue is integrated with the background art. Check out my blog to read more of my thoughts! guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html

I'm starting a series where I share my thoughts on visual novels I've played. First review coming soon!

A new game is in the works! #gamedeveloper #gamedevelopment #visualnovel
