Its sad that this has to be said by one of the few execs in the industry that actually gives a damn about his staff, his game, and it’s players, so many other execs do not care, and receive a fraction of the vitriol.
Yoshi-P wants to remind fans that developers are also people too

He says that harsh words and non constructive criticism can potentially demoralize developers that they don't want to make games anymore and as a result gamers could miss out on that next great game...

It's encouragement like this that keeps me going ❣️
shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

I've started updating the art for The Closet Door. All of it.

Not a complete artstyle overhaul. I'm just bringing everything to date with my current vision for it.

I hope this final revision of Myst works. Sometimes your best has to be good enough and this is my best for this image. 💗🙏

THE BLOCK IS OVAHHHH
I love a writing block. And that's not to be facetious. I love knowing there is one single thing I'm caught on. And as soon as that is removed the dam will break and all the raw, wonderful creativity will come flooding out.
I look forward to this. I can feel it happening. Soon. 💗

Consolidation 2.
I'm usually more active on Discord. However in recent years, I've been less active in the Tuff Mallow Discord. And as much as I love it and the members there, I will be closing the server as I decide what direction Tuff Mallow will take going forward.
July 5, 2025 at 9:09 AM
Going forward, I'll only be posting on Bluesky and in Discord.
I'm consolidating a few things for Tuff Mallow as well as myself. More info later.

Wow. It's been years since I got into making otome and in that time I adopted an art style that made it easier for me to get a lot of art done.
And I didn't realize until I finally did something in the art style I originally intended that I've grown into the style people know me for.

It's no secret I'm a solo dev that self funds my projects. That means when life hits hard, it also hits my game dev hard.

Consider buying me a coffee or commissioning me for affordable character art! ❣️ You have no idea how much it would help!

Since something happened at some show that people are talking about solo devs, I will repeat the definition I use for solo dev:

If you die, you cannot be replaced and the game dies.

Teams can replace people. A solo dev project has one person that drives it all and can't be replaced.
