I'm very happy to announce that My Husband is a Stranger is part of the #FallinLoveFestival starting today on Steam (thank you to the organizers for having me)! 💜🐙

There are a lot of romance VNs from some very talented developers, so be sure to check them out! 🥳⬇️

Thank you for over 30k plays and 1k Steam wishlists for my dark psychological romance game, "My Husband is a Stranger!" I'm so happy for the warm reception ☺️ (and the buckets of tears I'm apparently already(?) collecting 😅)

🤔 Have I been out of the loop, and has itch started delisting horror games without NSFW content? I noticed that my game Kanau was delisted recently, and it doesn't even have anything adult listed on the page (I mean, it's about children)... 🥲

Note that these extremely vague terms (which already prevent the discussion of sexual trauma), are NOT exhaustive. The TOS of payment processors themselves is even more broad/vaguely defined than this.

Ironic that this is all done to "protect women," but how many female-identifying creators are hurt by this "activism"? I am a woman. The exploration of sexuality and queerness in media is vitally important for everyone. Stop using feminism to push your puritan ideology.

Heads up for my American mutuals! The American Civil Liberties Union is running a petition against Mastercard (one of the entities behind the censorship of NSFW games on itch). Let's do our part and sign!

Share 4 years of your art 🍄

2022 -> 2023 -> 2024 -> 2025

Still pretty unsatisfied ngl, but at least my rendering got better, I suppose 😂 and I stopped using my awful rendered 3d backgrounds

real vn development is drawing a sprite of a magnificent armored lady and several months later realizing that you never drew a belt so it looks like she's awkwardly levitating her sword with her mind

Thank you to everyone who voted! I ran this poll across Tumblr/Tiktok/X/Bluesky and I got 92 votes total.

After that, you'll want to rename the file to "icon.ico" and drop the file into your base directory. This is the folder ABOVE your regular "game" directory. Afterwards, make a new build of the game!

Random #RenPy tip! Changing your launcher/shortcut icon!

(Idk if this will be helpful to anyone, but since I've been learning Renpy and it took me a little bit to figure this out, I thought I'd share!)

SYNOPSIS

Your life should be perfect. But slowly, that perfect life is cracking all around you.

As your life falls apart, you retreat to a remote island. But after a storm washes away your only escape, you find that you're trapped with your devoted husband... who might not be the man you married.

*slinks awkwardly out of the darkness looking absolutely deranged*

Sooo it's been a long time since I've posted (my personal life has been a bit hectic - I'm really sorry for everything I've missed), but I have dropped by to announce that I'm participating in #OtomeJam this year! Coming... soon™

For context, a few months ago I released a short game called "The Perfect Woman," about an AI girlfriend who is trapped by her creator, who wants to mold her into the perfect spouse. Over the course of the game, she has to "survive" her circumstances.

Hello! 🫡 It's been a while, I keep forgetting to post 😭 I'll make more normal posts soon, but I'd like to address a disrespectful comment I received recently. I would like to make it clear that I welcome any feedback, including negative feedback, but I do NOT tolerate comments like this.

💙 QRT with the piece you're proudest of for 2024! 🌹

One of my favorites was this one that I did of @butter-blanc.bsky.social 's characters, Brielle and Lukas! If you can guess the anime it's referencing, I'll give you a slice of digital pineapple pizza 🍍🍕

CONGRATS ON THE FOLLOWS, that's incredible!! (And thank you for the tag LMAO 😂)

I'll drop my girl Tala for your consideration... (although I really shouldn't be winning any more raffles 😭💦)

Just finished watching Scavenger's Reign on Netflix and it is hands down the best thing I've watched this year 😭💦 If you love weird-ass alien biology and sci-fi horror PLEASE watch it and get the Netflix gods to give it a second season, tyvm 🙏

Name a game with a 10/10 soundtrack

All of the Ace Attorney soundtracks are bangers but I declare the Great Ace Attorney OST to be the banger-iest 🙏
