Valentine's day peak romance plans #vday #valentines #furry #sapphic
Digital art of me and my girlfriend (an anthropomorphic fox and mountain sheep) touching noses and holding hands with mischievous expressions. I have long brown curly hair and she has long ginger hair and greenish eyes, with a lot of freckles. I have my hand positioned close to my mouth as if saying a secret. I say: "Let's raid the dollar store for candy on monday ❤️" and she answers "Yiss ❤️"

Finished a replay of Scarlet Hollow episode 4 last night.

Unnerving supernatural events continue, seeds of doubt are planted. And there's more to come...

All set for the release of episode 5 now! Can't wait to see where the story goes next--and how much my choices will help and haunt me!
Art from Scarlet Hollow features a woman with long white hair, sitting at a table. A cup of tea sits in front of her

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

I'm going to be doing a little research on platforms and some initial preparation to launch this.

Aiming to have something running in April/May!

I'm considering starting a newsletter or free-tier Patreon/ko-fi where I can share writing news and tidbits.

Is this something that might interest you? What sorts of news/announcements/insights do you enjoy from these sorts of things?

illustration of two women sitting and sharing a gentle moment together to the left is Neve, her back turned to us, sitting on a higher ledge, holding Chiara's face with her right hand, head slightly tilted, she's smiling, dark brown hair falling freely down. to the right is Chiara, sitting on a lower ledge, looking in awe at Neve, she's leaning forward, her hands on Neve's thighs the moment feels intimate Neve Gallus is a character from Dragon Age: the Veilguard, Chiara de Riva is a custom player character from the same game
