Good morning! The trailer and Steam page for I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning has launched! If you're into dystopian science fiction like Severance/Portal, have an ever-growing fear of AI, and enjoy short psychological horror stories, then check it out! #horrorgame #indiedev #creepy #gamedev

Boom boom boom. #gamedev #godot4 #explosions #designpatterns #gdscript

Been toying around with the PS1 / PSX horror/liminal art style. Mostly texturing and environment design. Just wanted to share some of the progress. It's been fun to do something a bit different/simpler than I normally do. #silenthill #backgrooms #horrorgames #playstation #gameart #blender #psx

For the first time ever I'm releasing the original 2022 demo mixes of my lofi EP, Radio Sailing. For now it's only on Bandcamp. I'm still planning final mixes on the unreleased tracks, but please enjoy, and share with any lofi buds! #lofi #lofibeats #musicproducer #demotape #beattape #chillbeats

As devs, there are periods of exploration and then periods of showcase. I "Wonka" which is where I close the factory and work in secret. Turns out, I need to show what I'm capable of, so I'll be back to posting more. Hello! Here's a recent Godot 3D course project: #gamedev #godot4 #godot #3D

@droqen.bsky.social Would love to talk sometime about reading the redacted version of the article you wrote in 2021. Or just in general. Regardless: Thank you for the experience. It was very needed.

Finished my #LudumDare jam entry with time to spare for once. Kept my project simple. Happy with the result. Can't ask for more than that. Please Press Button Takes about 1-2 minutes to play in your web browser. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #ld59 #uiux #godot ldjam.com/events/ludum...

Ludum Dare entry is basically done. I have one or two more animations/screens that need to be created and implemented but they are simple, so I'm off to sleep! Last few hours when I wake up and then submission time! Looking forward to playing lots of cool games! #LudumDare #LD59 #GameDev #Indie

Ludum Dare 59: Signal! Didn't get things together in time for a solid entry last year. This year I'm scoping better, keeping it minimal, and sticking to my strengths. Gonna sleep, then back to wrapping things up. Please Press Button. #ludumdare #ld59 #gamedev #indiedev #uiux #godot

Working on design patterns and clean code. A test project, but all my own Writing/UI/Sound/Music/Code. (BGs from Unsplash with some light Photoshop.) The nice part is all of this work can directly flow into my Steam project. Including saving/loading! #gamedev #indiedev #cleancode #uiux #godot

Been busy, but SO excited! Writing clean(er) code is so helpful and eye opening! The dialogue is for me to chuckle at. The sounds are obviously...borrowed. 🤫 BG is from Unsplash and then run through a cutout filter. Made in Godot. #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #ScreenshotSaturday #VN #CleanCode

So yesterday I decided to post an article detailing how Steam's Next Fest affected my horror visual novel's numbers and it quickly propelled my game to 33rd on IndieDB out of 72000+ games. Give it a read! More soon! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #visualnovel #indiegamer #gamenews #gamemarketing

The haunting month is over, but uncanny office culture and AI takeover dread remain. If you want a quick free demo that lets you explore both in a safe(?) environment, check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/4093290/... #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #horrogame #visualnovel #wishlistwednesday

Continuing to develop my solo indie game and the demo is still live on Steam! Next steps are implementing feedback, refactoring code, and squashing bugs. If you love uncomfortable horror, give it a play and let me know what you think! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #godot #icky

Happy #Halloween! If you need some spooky low poly graveyard assets for your games, I have just the thing for you. Available on Fab for Unreal and Unity on the Asset Store #lowpoly Fab: www.fab.com/listings/656... UAS: assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/... #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine #Unity3D

My solo indie horror visual novel demo grabbed a decent amount of wishlists and claims from this week's Steam Next Fest. Would love more feedback, so if you're a horror gamer or streamer who loves the creepy, give it a shot! #indiegames #indiedev #nextfest #horrorgames #vn #uncanny #gamedev #weird

It's Next Fest week! 🎮 My demo is waiting in the Steam queue but I'm hoping it’ll go live soon! You only get one Next Fest, so every view and share helps a ton! ❤️ Thank you! store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #NextFest #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel #godot #horrorgame #scifigame #creepy #vn

Got this trailer done last night for my dystopian indie horror game's demo. Hoping that everything gets approved by Steam so it can still participate in Next Fest. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #horrorgames #horrorvn #sundayscaries #severancefans #scifigames #visualnovels

It's Thing Thursday! 🛠️🎮 (I'm making this up. But why not?) Got most of the UI in and working for the Options menu. Just a couple more elements to do...but hey! I did The Thing! Did you do The Thing today? What's your Thing? Whatcha do? #gamedev #indiedev #gameui #uiartist #uidesign #thingthurs

Working on the pause menu for my horror game. I hate when you open a menu by mistake and have to wait for the animation to finish, so here you can reverse it instantly. Godot helped make that easy. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #indiegames #horrordev #horrorvn #ui #gamedev #godotengine

You can't hang VHS tapes up in the air like this and not expect me to want to kickflip through it for an achievement.

TFW your game about manipulation and passive aggression mirrors that messaging in its menu system. But at least the music is meditative. 🎧 store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #gamedev #indiedev #creepy #severancefans #portal #scifigames #scifihorror #horror #horrorgames #blackandwhite #vngames

I'm pretty vocal in my skepticism of wishlists or relying on their conversion. But today marks 1 month of my game being on Steam to wishlist and I just crossed my first 100! I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #vn #visualnovel

For #ScreenshotSaturday here's how I'm using music and sound design to play with anxiety: I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... This little game is starting to find its audience! #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #visualnovel #severancefans #creepygame #anxiety

I know gamers were sooo mad at Portal for not getting any cake. So my scifi corporate office horror VN solves that in the first five minutes. If you're hungry, come eat. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... Available for Wishlist #gamedev #horrordev #visualnovel #severancefans #portal

My game's chaotic intro is "dev heavy" on purpose. Starting with the most complicated scene forced me to refactor early so I dodge pain later. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #horrorgaming #gamedev #godot4 #screenshotsaturday #portalfans #severancefans #scifi #visualnovel #godot #indiedev

I heard BlueSky is all about post timing so I'm just going to throw this out there again to see if I can find an audience of weirdos for my sci-fi corporate office horror game. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... Thanks! #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #horrorvn #dystopia #severancefans #portal

Yay! It feels gross to look at this! 🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... Just another creepy day at the office. I'm sure it's fine. (Why can I smell his breath? 😬) #horrorgames #gamedev #visualnovel #godot4 #gamedev #psychologicalhorror #freakyfriday #horrordev #horrorstreamers #scifigames

Still some sfx and polish passes left, but it's fun bringing this creepy story to life. I'm a big fan of games where choices actually matter, and here, they define you. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... You can wishlist now. 😰 Out this summer. 😎 #indiedev #gamedev #vn #horror #ホラーゲーム #選択肢

Spent the weekend adding lines to the intro for my upcoming horror game: I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning. store.steampowered.com/app/3… Still some testing to do, but I should be able to set up save/load from anywhere AND a story flow menu soon. 🤞🙇🤞 #gamedev #indiegames #horrorgames #godot4

Yes, I'm making a deeply uncomfortable short sci-fi horror game designed to fill you with anxiety. That doesn't mean it can't have absurdist elements inspired by Phoenix Wright. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #visualnovel #horrorgames #indiedev #gamedev #absurd #horrorscifi

Happy #WishlistWednesday everyone! 🎉 Let's promote your game! I’ll start by sharing one of my latest favorites. Esoteric Ebb 💚 by @esotericebb.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/2057760 Drop your #indiegame below 🚀 #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamemarketing #steam

Implementing dialogue for my dystopian horror game "I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning" like: "Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes... all day." store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #indiegamedev #visualnovel #horrorgame #ナラティブゲーム #ゲーム開発 #gamedev #dystopia #officeick

Excited to bring my drum & bass work back in my upcoming horror game: I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning. Music will be a huge part of the experience. For an idea of how I use sound, here’s an older track I scored & animated: "On Your Tail" #gamedev #gamemusic #indiemusic #indiegames #solodev

It's #screenshotsaturday, so here is some recent work on my upcoming uncomfortable/uncanny horror visual novel: I Would Love to Wish You Good Morning. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #horrorgames #horrordev #gamedev #indiegames #uncannyvalley #dystopia #indiedev #blender #godot

Looking forward to finally getting the store page launched and the trailer out there tomorrow. And that's honestly just the beginning of what's on the way. Wish me luck! #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel #horrorvn #dystopia

As of a few minutes ago, the Steam store page for my game is all set and approved for launch! The page and the trailer will both go live on Friday morning on Silhouette Games: @silhouettegames.bsky.social Thanks again to everyone following along. #IWLTWYGM #gamedev #horrorgames #visualnovel

👋 Been a bit. Here we go. #IWLTWYGM

Nature's balloon animals.

Still haven't gone fully digital yet (you can still see some scribbly pencil), but I'm excited that these are finally looking like real game OCs. #gamedev #indiedev #art #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos #digitaldrawing #illustration #blskyart

Lately I've been trying to push my style further - go cleaner, clearer, more intentional. Today feels like a step in the right direction. #gamedev #indiedev #art #vnart #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos #digitaldrawing #illustration #artsky

"C'mon, dummy." 😉 Feeling like I'm hitting what my style is now. Getting consistent feels nice. #gamedev #indiedev #vnart #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #dailysketch #animeart #sketchpractice #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos #portraitpractice #dailyprogress #animestyle

Alright. My Danganronpa roots are definitely showing here aaand I'm not mad at it. 😋 #gamedev #indiedev #vnart #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #dailysketch #animeart #sketchpractice #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos #danganronpa

Big yikes. #animeart #originalcharacter #characterdesign #sketchpractice #vnart #animeexpression #gameart #animeface #mangaart #conceptart #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujo #ocart #animeartist #animeoc #indiedev #expressions

Might be a bit too happy that my phone started recognizing my drawings as portrait photography. 😋 Gives off a little Chisato energy, yeah? #gamedev #indiedev #vnart #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #dailysketch #animeart #sketchpractice #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos #lycorisrecoil

Daily Practice - 04/16 Decided to go with a more wild character drawing this time. Tried to put a little more into the expression and hair design. #gamedev #indiedev #vnart #gameart #animeart #ocart #originalcharacter #dailysketch #animeart #sketchpractice #oc #アニメ女の子 #かわいい #dibujosbonitos
