Hi hi! Haliora here. ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ

Bear MC and Dian are family, and both have clearly picked up on each other's mannerisms. Here is their "sparkles" expression. ✨

Bear MC currently has 37 unique faces. Here's a small sample of the delightful emotions she has!

indie artists, stop with the self-pity for attention.
if i have to see another video that's like. "i'm a SMALL ARTIST. i haven't gotten any orders/views this week :( spare some for me please, your grace?"
i'm gonna blow my balls off.

you are legitimate. you have dignity. remember that.

i know "support indie art" feels like saying "eat your vegetables"at this point but as ai begins to seep into every mainstream property you can imagine, do not feel disheartened. there is a world of artists making art that doesn't depend on destroying the environment and making money to live.

One of the biggest changes to come to the eventual full release of Ice Cream For Love is the fact that the MC will now have a sprite!

Introducing Ranaiha aka Ranni, your gremlin voice to view the game through! 🐻👑
A screenshot of the game Ice Cream For Love. There's a background of a hospital hallway, entirely in shades of purple. The textbox says "When people are rude to you, be above it all. That way, you can drop things on their heads!" The speaker is a she sun bear in a red dress reminiscent of Strawberry Shortcake and ice cream aesthetic with a glittery hem. She looks very proud of herself. There is a translucent crown floating over her head that is clearly only in her imagination to accent her smugness.

Here's a screenshot of my current progress for my submission to Otome Jam.

Working title is Veilcap Bride, and this project is my contribution to appreciators of (goofy) older love interests.

We'll see if I can complete it all by the deadline. 💪🐻
A screenshot of the game Veilcap Bride. It's in vertical orientation, with a simple UI themed around plants and fungi. There are four stat bars at the top, and menu buttons at the bottom. The textbox currently displays dialogue from Thien An, saying "We have to cuddle. You're taking cuddle time away? I don't understand. When did we stop loving each other?" The Thien An sprite appears to resemble an Asian man with spalted wood patterning on his skin, dressed in a green ao dai with turkey tail mushroom pauldron.

What's this, it's Sunday? That means it's time for a bear pic.

Yo, I participated in the 2025 Dialogue Jam and created a mini-spinoff game for the "Ice Cream For Love" storyline.

Check it out if you like fake dating scenarios and unhinged dialogue.

This image is a sample screenshot from the game Ice Cream For Love Gone Phishing. There are two portraits and two textboxes diagonally opposed from each other. The MC is bearfolk as suggested by her silhouette. She is telling the love interest of the Ice Cream For Love "I know you don’t like me, but if we get kicked out because we’re not convincing enough as a couple, I will eat you and your children."

I saw a potential for a meme template, so I took it.

This is for my game "Ice Cream for Love", featuring a ferald wildchild bearfolk FMC, and her LI, a yandere dietitian.
This image is based on a tweet, and edited to reflect the context from the game "Ice Cream for Love". Malakai: Having a crush is ruining my life but if you saw her youd understand Funaki: Describe her brother Malakai: I dont want you imagining her

Manifesting sleep for my insomnia.
The picture features a cartoonish bear with a vacant expression on their face, holding a candle and wearing a nightgown and night cap. The text reads: Please let me sleep!!! I just wasn't built for being awake and doing stuff all day. :-(

Valentine's Day is real important for the #otome industry, but as for me, I see this as yet another opportunity to post more bear pictures. All aboard the swan boat!

One of the most enjoyable parts about writing yandere is that they always have them savage af one-liners. Here's one of Ekam's.

Check out the game here. atelierursine.itch.io/penetrate-th...
A screenshot from the game Penetrate the Veil: Spoken Hearts. Here, Ekam and MC are discussing the plans for her revenge, with a beach as the backdrop. There are giant calcified ammonite fossils, and the weather is overcast, almost gray-blue in tone. The dialogue is as follows. Ekam: “If it’s that abhorrent, then I will personally drop that city into the lake if they even so much as think about pursuing you.” MC: “And kill innocents needlessly? That’s unacceptable. I don’t want you doing that on my behalf.”

I fully admit that this is probably not a good sentence, but Microsoft Word's suggestion is utterly outrageous.
The image is a Microsoft Word suggestion for the sentence "What you're doing is no different from my family that you've accused." The word 'accused' is highlighted red, and the suggestion is to replace it with 'family' so that the new sentence would be "What you're doing is no different from my family that you've family."

I haven't shared a cute bear image in a while, so it's time to address the problem.

It's so cold...productivity is hard. There's always a wintertime debuff when my inner bear just wants to hibernate until March.

Still gotta work like a mad lass though to make sure I can submit Ice Cream For Love to the Yandere Jam. 💪🐻

Continuing the trend of Bear MC noticing things that are oddly violent. First food, now love?! 🤔

atelierursine.bsky.social
Scrolling through the Ice Cream For Love script is always an experience because Bear MC says all sorts of outrageous things.

Maybe these things just make sense because she's a 🐻 ...or perhaps she's trolling again.
On a gradient background of orange-yellow on the top to mint green on the bottom with faint impressions of different types of ice cream on the bottom left and right corners, there's a box fashioned like an ice cream menu. The title text says "Ice Cream for Love: Out of Context", sandwiched by cute cartoonish twin black bear heads. The text for the out-of-context is as follows: “You ever notice how many violence metaphors are food-related?” “I’m afraid of where you’re going with this. But no?” “Got beef with someone. Grind my goat. Cute enough to eat. Go bananas. Taking candy from a baby. Bite the hand that feeds you. Eat dirt. Goose is cooked.” “…I think you made up grind your goat just now. But what’s the thesis exactly?” “Why, I think there’s a little desire in all of us to nibble on both the flesh of our enemies and loved ones to immortalize them in ourselves forever.”

Here is a small sample of stickers I designed for Bear MC's business and general uses. What do you think of them? Would you buy them if I were to have a sticker shop some day?
A set of circular stickers for the game Ice Cream for Love. On the top row are two stickers for Bear MC's business in the game. The first sticker has top arch text that says "Pick the bear!" and bottom arch text that says "Honey Bear Creamery". Separating the top and bottom texts are two double-scoop ice cream cones. At the center is the logo for Honey Bear Creamery, featuring a bear-shaped ice cream sandwich. The second sticker is in the image of a cartoon bear paw print. Each of the paw pads contains art of different ice cream - a cone an ice cream sandwich, and a popsicle. The text says "Like my ice cream?" "Honey Bear Creamery" "Made them with my bear hands." The second row has three stickers that are also used in-game, but has a more general application. The first one says "Don't care, I'm a bear." with art of a sun bear wearing sunglasses and holding a microphone, while wearing an expression of smug satisfaction. The second sticker has a simple cartoon art of a sun bear head surrounded by pink sparkles. Underneath is the text "Help, I bearly know what's going on". The third sticker has a picture of a cartoon sun bear bearing their teeth, with the accompanying text "Poke the bear...and find out".

Ice Cream For Love is a very chaotic #otome romcom project featuring a yandere LI, and I have lots of fun writing and creating assets for it.

I was designing stickers for Bear MC's business, and then I realized I had far too much power. Now having stickers for every occasion is Bear MC's thing.

I'm currently coding in the script of Ice Cream For Love in the engine, and have been using Ekam's sprite as the default because I don't want to export all the actual LI's expressions yet.

It got me this hilarious screenshot. Bear MC, I don't think you'll convince him to open his wallet. 👛
A game screenshot of Ice Cream For Love. it features Ekam's sprite from Penetrate the Veil instead of the LI of ICFL. It's funny because Ekam is nowhere as soft as Malakai, and is staring at MC menacingly. The actual text says: This interaction has been fun, but now you’re starting to wonder if you’re going to convince him to open his wallet today. You eye the takeout bag hooked on his fingers. That’s proof that Dian was able to make a successful sale. One is within your grasp too!
