Willow Flame

Hello World! I'm Willow Flame! An indie game designer who loves making crayon-style games with a touch of poetry. I'm also super passionate about language learning so also make quirky educational games! It's nice to meet you all 🦋 #newhere #indiedev #gamedev

Finally got my old Wacom tablet up and running today. I've not been able to use it since January 😭 Made this little guy🌞 #doodle

🐌🐌🐌🐌

Ahhhh I completely forgot it's GMTK time 😭 Think I might be too busy this weekend but look forward to seeing what games are submitted!

I love you Jimothy 🦝❤️ [ #cuteart #illustration ]

Recently I keep seeing people with super cute lip piercings, so thought I would wear a fake one today. Not sure if it suits me or not though 🤔 最近、超可愛い口ピアスがある人を見たので、今日偽口ピアスをしてみたけど、似合うかどうかわかんない🤔

先週末のDIVライブは最高だった！新しい曲もしたんだ！夏の行方という曲きっかけに、ドラムを始めたので、夏の行方Fesのオープニングライブが行けてうれしいです！ Last weekend's #DIV live was amazing. They even played a new song. The song Natsu no Yukue was what inspired me to start learning the drums so I'm glad I got to go to the opening of the Natsu no Yukue Fes #visualkei

This error message is so scary 😱 My laptop seems to be working again now though! このエラーのメッセージは怖いよ！😱 でも、今パソコンは大丈夫そうになって本当によかった😭

ipodを日本に持ってきたら、よかったなぁ Appleは作るのをやめたのは残念です。他のいいブランドは何でしょうか🤔　 I wish I had brought my ipod with me to Japan. It's a shame they are no longer made. I wonder what other brands are good 🤔

Although I've not been watching much of the world cup, the Miku memes have been great 😂 ワールドカップをあんまり見ていないけど、初音ミクの拡散ネタは面白がったです！

The fishes actually ended up being really helpful as I managed to pass the band's audition and since January have been an official member of Water Maze 🥳🐟 Here are some pics from our live we had earlier in the week! (Pics taken by the amazing meeeei k_123 on insta 📷✨️)

ドラムを叩いている(?)小さな恐竜さんを描いてみた！🥁🦖 でも、ドラムを叩くよりドラムスティックを食べるの方が集中してると思います🍗 I tried drawing a little dinosaur playing(?) the drums! 🥁🦖 But rather than playing the drums, I think he is more focused on eating his drums sticks 🍗 #dinosaur #恐竜 #doodle #落書き

走馬灯を見ながら歩く馬の短編ゲーム『Horssage』を公開しました。楽しんでいただければ幸いです🐎 dragonwasabipotato.itch.io/horssage

Made my first ever game making video! The game I made was for a 3 -hour long game jam 🎮✨️ はじめてのゲーム制作の動画を作りました！ゲームは3時間でのゲームジャムのためでした。🎮✨️ The video has Eng/Japanese subs 動画は英語と日本語の字幕があります youtu.be/vzZRJwOFcnU?... #gamedev #gamejam #trijam #vlog #ゲーム制作 #ゲームジャム

今日、久しぶりに詩を書いていました✍️ Today for the first time in ages, I wrote some poetry ✍️

音楽を聴いて楽譜を書くのはちょっと難しいので、手伝う魚を描いたんです🐟 It's a hard writing up sheet music, so I drew these helpful fish instead 🐟

昨日、グラスハートを見始めました。すごかったです。朱音さんはめっちゃかっこよくて、見てドラムをやる気が出しました。今日の練習で一生懸命に頑張ります！🥁🔥 Yesterday, I started watching Glass Heart for the first time. It's amazing! Akane is so cool! Watching her play the drums has motivated me even more. Gonna give it my all during today's practice!

I really wish stations wouldn't lock the bathrooms at night 😔 No bathrooms on the last train and my next train is delayed 😢

Had my first ever in-person #D&D session today. Everyone was so lovely and one of the other players custom made each of us our own dice sets 🥺💕 My first role with the dice was also a 19! And they continued to behave well throughout the session 🎲

A double rainbow just spawned nearby and can actually see the end of it!!! 🌈🌈 Never seen this before and kinda disappointed to see there's no pot of gold under it 🪙 But maybe this is the universes way of telling me to enter the lottery tonight 🤔😂

For about 10 years I've wanted to try #DnD, yesterday I managed to take part in my first campaign 🥹 Finally, I get to live out my dreams of being a happy little #kobold

Really glad I managed to wake up in time for this 🌊😊

Look at the amazing artwork @kloscur.bsky.social made of my fae character from A House Fit for a Snail! I love how happy the character looks 😭❤️

Yesterday, I decided to make a 2-player game for the 1 Hour Jam. Although, this game was designed for two players, I liked that everyone who played added up both doggo's score to get an overall score. Next time I made a 2-player game for this jam, I'll have to add a collaborative score 🐕 #gamedev

Had an awesome time at yesterday's @ukieofficial.bsky.social Education x Industry mixer! Met so many inspiring people working on so many interesting projects ❤️
