Indie game dev be like...

>What Cass *should* do:
- write a list of things she needs to get done tomorrow
- write a list of things she can get done today before 11 pm, in 1h 15m
- do as many of these things as she can
> What Cass will probably do:
- write #otome games

Btw

While writing Fond Familiar, I legit took my temperature because my face was hot, and I didn't know if I had a fever or if I was struck by secondhand embarrassment so hard, I was blushing

It was the latter 😳

Meet #FondFamiliar ML Dr. Dobrovsky! 🩸

Narration: His hands twitch at his sides as if he wants to use them to… to do something.
Narration: His movements are forceful. Frantic. Feverish.
Narration: Famished.

Writing an #otome game and flexing that alliteration muscle for Leander, my bae (pictured below!)... 💪😘

> Narration: The sassy, sledgehammer-swing style of Leander’s speech stuns me.

Wow, this looks gorgeous! 😍
Just started a BlueSky page to post more updates on the progress of Fantasy Euthanasia! It is a fantasy, psychological romance visual novel with mystery elements, inspired by 2000s shoujo manga (I came up with the idea 11 years ago). Check it out here: coren.itch.io/fanthanasia #otome #visualnovel

Leander

I love drawing anatomy, and from all the boys Mari has drawn, Leander is definitely the one with the more defined muscles.

Glint

Glint is such a fun character. Such a big huggable bear. His wide frame is pretty fun to draw too. A simple yet effective design with strong shapes to him.

Tobi

As I was selecting what character to draw, I realized I had never actually drawn Tobi, so it was time to correct that.

Hydra

I really liked Hydra's straightforward style with the hydra theme running across the clothes.
You can find Mitsuki at mitsuki_youko on Linktree!

Alrien

Alrien seems like such a cool character. She's pretty, the armor is cool, and she seems to have that little touch of badass to her.
