A female android proudly declares to her charge: "I shall guard your rear, Arata-sama."
Higher Functions: "alright, #BABELOMANIA is a horror. Deals with heavy themes and lore. You need to make that evident when sharing on social."
Juvenile Instincts: "Don't mind if I DO!" #vndev #indiegame
We're back on the #BABELOMANIA grind! I want to publish this by October this year, which means I need to finish it by Summer... And my god, working on it and realizing that past you accidentally set up interesting plot twists and lore for the future is SO satisfying. #vndev #indiegame
Working full steam ahead on #BABELOMANIA, including how to make it comfortable to play on Steam Deck and with a controller. ^^ It was a bit daunting at the start, but thank god for the Renpy community (and @feniksdev.com's plugins!) #vndev
So, #BABELOMANIA... I've started that game with a very different mindset. I was at a point where, while I saw things world wide bad, I had hope they could get better.
They got worse. Or at best, there's a morass of no steps forward... This has effectively stun locked me for months. #vndev 1/2
>That feeling when you correctly predicted the future.
In #BABELOMANIA, Arata works for EUROPOL. In my game's version of the future I made the bet the agency would become a full fledged law enforcement agency instead of just an advisory body.
Well... www.ft.com/content/f93e...
Gen AI has really been ruining stuff in a lot of ways... For example: my game, #BABELOMANIA, has an Android in it (Tabitha) so I had tagged it as 'Artificial Intelligence'... Except people's first reactions when reading was that the game uses Gen AI assets. -_- store.steampowered.com/app/3515630/...
We're not as squeamish as our boss! Wishlist #BABELOMANIA now! :D store.steampowered.com/app/3515630/...
#BABELOMANIA is on STEAM! #vndev
I'm so excited, you have NO idea! This is a huge step towards release! I'm always reluctant asking people to do anything for, but if you could wishlist the game on STEAM it'd mean the world to me!
Aiming for a Q4 2025 release! store.steampowered.com/app/3515630/...

We're finally here, and much earlier than expected!
#BABELOMANIA 's first Early Access update launches the 20th of December! For a spooky holiday season! :D
#gamedev #vndev
youtu.be/sw4kvBVuEd4?...
This track will be featured in the first Early Access release for #BABELOMANIA, by the way! :D #vndev #indiegame
So... the team did it. We managed to complete what I wanted to complete in record time.
#BABELOMANIA 's first Early Access update will be coming THIS XMAS SEASON! Maybe even next week! Are you ready to go back in the Horrors of Du Bois?! #vndev #gamedev #indiegame
jpde.itch.io/babelomania
Thank you SO MUCH for the interest and boosting for Tabitha's #castingcall so far! She continues to surprise with her... influence.
As an addendum: #BABELOMANIA is very much a horror game. We suggest you play the demo to get an idea of the kind of scenarios your performance will be associated with.
Tabitha, Android extraordinaire, describes her maximum power output: she is to exercise up to 1950 kilograms of pressure per centimeter square.

#gamedev #vndev #indiedev
So, this is another decision that I fear may backfire on my sanity but...
In #BABELOMANIA, starting with the first Early Access update, you will be spending a lot of time with Tabitha, and you will be able to freely change what she calls you over the course of the game. #vndev #gamedev #indiegame
Back to day job after being off on Monday... And what a better way to start than receiving a draft OST track by @/OddTillTheEnd for #BABELOMANIA :D My reactions in four images.

THE CREATOR HAS SPOKEN! THE TABITHA CULT HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH SACRED ICONOGRAPHY FROM #BABELOMANIA!
Paging: @xiruo.bsky.social @deathbyulan.bsky.social @natsumencaps.bsky.social
...I may be about to enable something I really shouldn't BUT: I've now uploaded to the #BABELOMANIA itch page a set of Desktop&Phone Wallpapers, plus Emote/Stickers PNGs. Most of them are Tabitha centric so... Enjoy? O_O #indiegame #vndev jpde.itch.io/babelomania
THE CULT OF TABITHA IS OFFICIALLY OPEN, SO SAYS THE CREATOR! Grab your complementary emote/sticker PNGs to get you started :3 #BABELOMANIA #indiegame
Concept Art of TABITHA, from BABELOMANIA.
#SundayTeamday! Today we give a spotlight to one of our Concept Artists, @halebob.bsky.social! @meinoskaen.bsky.social met them because of a, ahem, shared obsession with a certain character from a certain MMORPG... They've since become a pillar of the team, doing all the designs in #BABELOMANIA!
