Here's a trailer for my new game, Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid!

We're releasing the game soon!

Our new game Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid! has manga style cutscenes, which was a lot of fun to implement! In the game itself these have a motion comic effect, but here's a preview of the first comic scene in the game.

Here's the title screen art for Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid!, a brand new gender bender adventure game from the creator of Max's Big Bust!

If you missed it please add the game to your Steam Wishlist, it really helps us out! Link below! #indie #lgbt #lifesim #anime

Behold, a blurry photo of me getting my game working on steam deck. Always very satisfying to do this part of testing

I've got a new game coming out later this year! Wish list Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid! here store.steampowered.com/app/4115180/...

All of our games on itch.io now have Steam keys available for redemption, if you buy the game on itch you get a steam key too.

Spent this week coding a wardrobe system for my upcoming VN!

There's different unlockable outfits, and characters in the free time/romance sections will comment on what you're wearing.

There's even stat boosts, dialogue will change depending on how cute/sexy your outfit is.

Is #screenshotsaturday still a thing? The Coffee Shrine minigame from Hitiam has progressed a lot since my last screenshot, all of the features are in and now I'm bugtesting/tweaking.

It's been a bit more work than I initially thought to get this working, but I'm really happy with this so far.

I'm working on developing this Coffee Store management minigame for my upcoming VN!

I've got the animations for characters working now, but I still need to tweak the arm layer and replace some placeholder assets.

Making good progress though! Really happy with this one. #gamedev #vn #anime

One of my old videos keeps going 'viral' in the YouTube algorithm and I'm not entirely sure why.

Every single comment is like 'What anime is this' and 'What is this from' even though it's clearly there in the description! I don't understand.

Here are some chibi sprites from a minigame from the mermaid life sim I'm developing!

I'm really happy with this minigame, you work a trade-in counter at an EB Games equivalent (Zara's Games) and have to spot fake games and offer people the right amount of money for their games (which usually isn't very much).

And this is where things start to get fancy! I'm using Ren'Py, but I've coded a few minigames such as this cooking game. It looks better in motion (and there are placeholder assets here too), but in this minigame you have to rapidly cook food orders for customers.

And here's a screenshot of the puzzle system! There are some placeholder assets here (namely the inventory window), but at multiple points in the game you'll start an investigation and walk around, look for and combine and talk to people similar to something like Monkey Island.

Alright, wanted to throw up some screenshots from the visual novel I'm working on, 'Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid!'

Here's a dialogue screenshot, it's all very basic at the moment. I'll be adding a custom text box later in development.
