Hello! My #SuNoFes project is done! *Arbiter, Oracle* is an urban fantasy VN about the aftermath of disaster, finding home, and getting lost in the process. Both the protagonist and deuteragonist are nonbinary! 🔗: amorphous.itch.io/arbiter #visualnovel #vndev

I definitely need time away from anything I create to appreciate it. When I launched The Afterlife Cafe one month ago, I felt like there was so much I should have changed. Now when I watch others play it, I'm like 'this is great!' 😂 Same for my launch trailer. It's so cool! youtu.be/ub3D6dLVERM

We're barely past day 2 and only 5 bucks away from hitting 85% of our goal, sending this into the streets in the hope of someone wants to throw five dollars at a bunch of crusty indie devs (less than a coffee or cheese of middling quality) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind... #indiedev #chicago

El primer humble bundle mexicano, se logro:

The other day I learned my game had ended up on IGDB. So if you're working on a game, check igdb.com to see if your game is there. If it's not, add it. If it is, make any needed updates. You can even get free verification for expedited update approvals and a cool little blue check. #gamedev

I had a great time at C2E2. These showcases are always great for hearing directly from players. It's also really entertaining to watch the live reactions from people. This group was so into it! (The game is mirrored on the other side of the table.) I promise this picture was not staged 😝 #indiegame

Hi! I'm Ugochi and this is #whatagamedevlookslike! I'm working on my first ever game at my very own studio. One of my biggest accomplishments has been winning 3rd place at the Indie Playground Audience Choice Award at DreamHack Atlanta last year. Here's to celebrating both the small and big wins!

First look at the game! Here is an early concept sketch done by one of the artists. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #visualnovel #conceptart

In this visual novel, you play as an “obnoxious” kid who’s trying to befriend a prince, who is also your classmate. There’s fun banter throughout and then it gets really good when the music changes. Read more here: guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html#ro... #visualnovel #gamereview #gamedev

This anime explores the question of what happens right after you die. Mystery, drama, and existentialism all come into play in this show. Read all about it on my blog! guavapixelstudios.com/blog.html #anime #animereview
