we have been LOVING the Up All Night series from @fiendishfiction.bsky.social , so y'all should go give them a peek. We finished Daybreak on stream today and are looking forward to more soon 👀

"Rogue with horrible bard energy who sounds ever-so-slightly like a younger, less weathered version of Ser Bronn of the Blackwater" isn't necessarily a role I'd ever foresee landing in the top 50 most popular games on itch (short-term, anyway), but here we are? 😆

(Thank you all! ✨)

Chance from "A Chance Encounter" looking surprised with his cheeks slightly flushed. He has fluffy ginger hair, orange eyes, and tanned/very light bronze (half-sun-elf) skin. He's been captioned "✨Anxiety✨"

Same, buddy.

The cover image for "A Chance Encounter," featuring a ginger half-elf with tanned skin, orange eyes, and gold and lapis earrings looking at the viewer and smiling a little smugly. He has a metal shackle-like collar locked around his neck.

⛓️‍💥 Want to b̶u̶l̶l̶y̶ help out a charming-if-pathetic rogue? Good news!

"A Chance Encounter" is out ✨now✨ as part of #O2A2, and I'm very grateful to have lent my face-noises to the elf himself—Chance!

Many thanks to the @fiendishfiction.bsky.social crew for having me!

Thanks so much, Fetch. We're thrilled you're enjoying our games, and it always means a lot when folks reach out to us about them! Definitely keep an eye out for our upcoming release (July 20), which our artist is working hard on to make as vibrant as possible. :)

Hey #VoiceActor friends, we're looking for folks to give this pathetic failure of a man (/affectionate) a suave but desperate voice. Please help give us a boost and consider tossing in an audition yourselves!

Howdy, Fetch! The atmosphere here is intentional. This is a dark fantasy game, so we wanted to keep the art in theme with the tone.

If you're interested in more vibrant fare, we encourage you to check out Daimu, The Space Between Stars, and Nameless... and keep an eye out for our upcoming game!

More Occult Mingle art! We're hoping to push this visual novel/dating sim by mid-2025, so keep your eyes open. Oh yeah, and thanks for bearing with me as I adjust to this new platform. Cheers! #gamedev

As I push to engage more on bsky I'll be perusing/posting a backlog of art, starting with the character design lineup for my indie studio's upcoming supernatural dating sim (hopefully launching later this year), Occult Mingle. Enjoy!

Our artist just set up his own bsky... go give him a follow! In spite of recent... events... he's trying to find the motivation to post more and engage in more online communities. He'd be grateful for the support!

A screenshot from the itch.io page for the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle 2024 ($60 Fright Edition) that shows $4,136.66 raised out of the current goal at $5,000, boxed in red with chibi Candy the Cyclops gesturing towards it. Above the sales goal, there is red text that reads: "15 more sales until we hit $5000 raised on the Fright Edition!"

We just hit $3.9K raised on the $10+ Treat Edition of the #QueerHalloweenStoriesBundle, and we're about 15 sales away from hitting $5K on the $60 Fright Edition! Can you help us hit this goal and support the future of queer game developers?

An image promoting the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle 2024, featuring Candy the Cyclops next to a cauldron-shaped logo on the left side. Her outfit is a purple witch hat with an orange bow, an orange jacket with a spiderweb design, a purple dress with puffy shoulders and yellow lace at the bottom, and purple-orange ombre socks. She wields a scepter whose staff is purple and top is shaped like a piece of Progress Flag-colored candy with a crown on it. Differently colored bubbles float out of the cauldron. The background is an orange gradient with an orange halftone from the top fading out to the bottom with an orange splatter behind Candy's hat and a purple splatter in the top right corner. On the right half of the image is text that reads: "It's Time For Spooky Queer Stories! October 1 to 31, 2024. Support over 100 creators! Get over 140 games, books, comics, and more for $60!"
