Must say I've had this account for over a year already and I've yet to make a post...
Nevertheless, hello folks! I'm Ryne (aka thebackup / Project Memoria / PixaelSoft) and I'm a #vndev (to those who don't already know).
To those who've seen me elsewhere, nice to see you here! ^_^

Hey folks! It's been a while since the last time I gave any updates about DSPPA.
I'm still hard at work at it, it's just that ever since I came back from my Japan trip last April that social media has made be a bit... too weary to post project updates. #visualnovel #vndev

Excuse the short notice, but guess what?
I'm traveling to Japan tomorrow 😆🇯🇵
Been planning this trip for well over a year. This is a much needed break from my day job (haven't taken PTO in a long while) and being a VN dev... I'm stoked. ^_^ #travel

This is our every-once-in-a-while plea to please consider giving our game a review if you liked it! We would love to hit 50 on Steam someday so we can get a bit more visibility.
Beyond that, we just like seeing what people think of what we've done. As we work on new stuff, it keeps us motivated 💗

NGL one of the best parts of being a #vndev is the ability to create your own waifus (or husbandos); for me, Café Memoria's Mikaela to Paulina in my recent project.
Nothing wrong with that, right? 🐱

Finally hung our shingle outside our (nonexistent) corporate storefront!
Because our games are free. Because we're tired of throwing elbows with other Indies. Because we just want everybody to enjoy art, regardless of their wallet.

Spent a good hour writing notes (making changes) on a document for Event CG notes, but lost those changes b/c MS Word refuses to save the file - no error message or anything.
I'm beyond frustrated💢
