I’m going to be in the Power of Pride bundle this year!! I am jumping beans of joy right now!

Hi folks! We've been silent on the the social media front but we did want to say that we're hard at work going through all of our applications. There's a lot in here that we're excited to review, so keep an eye on your email inboxes in case we have questions for you!

Thank you again for applying 🎉

“im gonna eat everything in your fridge and theres nothing in your dialogue tree thats gonna stop me” is oddly very motivational 💯 ✨

I have had to take a pause on my projects because I am prioritizing looking for a new job. I also recently enrolled in a program to learn IT/cybersecurity to try to think long term future goals.

I’m pivoting and planning to frame my game jam experience as transferrable skills hopefully!

When I heard you were working on a new Ren'Py trick, my interest was piqued but couldn't imagine what it would look like until I saw it. I like it, I think it adds to the liveliness and texture! I look forward to seeing the evolution

Thank you for that reminder! Health is one of those things I seem to forget to prioritize.

Unsure- I thought I'd try to cram a bite-sized glimpse in 500 words but given that I have flexible time, a duo or trilogy would be cooler, thematically, like how there are multi-course meals

I've decided to continue my project outside the Neotwiny jam deadline to prioritize some health challenges from a heatwave

On the bright side, I'd like to share my favorite lines so far!

-The yearning in my heart was a lingering, solanine ache
-her scent commanded a melange of roses and honey

Bravo! 🎉

Ooo the lighthouse is peak ✨

The new dragon wing material looks super nice 👀

Thank you! 😭

Two days away from game jam deadline:

Me: *still unsure what game engine I’m using this time*

Mini update:
Recovered from my concussion and now I'm reanalyzing some project timelines. My original plan was to make 3 micro vn's for Neotwiny jam, but with only about a week left and a draft for a single story, I'll see if I can complete just one

I am sorry for your loss, Carrot. I wish you a safe trip back home.

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of foods will be cooked 👩🏻‍🍳

Thank you 🥺!

I might need to take a few days to rest due to a head injury 🥲

I play/study Our Fantastic Wonderland as a learning resource to understand renpy visual motion fx! All of the art asset manipulation has been really inspiring for me

I feel that too! It’s like the title implies some larger scope that’s not even in existence yet 😂

For Neotwiny jam, there's a few ideas I have in mind. The first one is a wlw story about a cook who interviews a ghost to prepare a special dish but I have yet to determine why or how 🤔Ideally it could be a standalone to a larger "supernatural diner" concept I'm brewing

Happy pride month! I’m excited to work on some new projects now 🌸

Hey! Are you a dark or horror fantasy creator? Later this year I'm going to be running a jam and bundle on Itch! Join the Jam to make something cool here!

OR do you already have some cool dark/horror fantasy stuff??

Why is it that when there is no word cap, I can barely write over 100 words, but I've been thinking of participating in Neo-Twiny Jam 2025 which has a maximum of 500 words and suddenly I can't drum up anything that stays under that limit 😅. It's definitely more fun to work with constraints though

The sickle in place of the letter D is clever!

This is super cute! And I think having socials directly on display at the end works well since it’s at a natural pause point where people like to dive into other screens from links/socials without missing out on content

I feel this in my core rn! Compared to when I put projects on hiatus, I just feel more motivated in general again and using the experience as a conduit to self-learn more skills applicable in career pivots
