A screencap of a pixel-art game: Two characters standing in a warm and cozy room with multi-colored bunny plushies on the shelves and a trans flag on the wall. Sparrow, a girl with ochre brown skin and fluffy aqua hair, asks "What sort of things can you grow on the grounds of the manse?"

The witch's daughter, Sparrow, is a shy and gentle soul who enjoys making plushies. She's one of three initial romance options for Hallowed Crossing- and she's trans. Happy #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️💕

Pixel art of a wisteria plant growing on a wooden lattice.

Today I pixeled a wisteria lattice for the witch's cottage.

Pixel art of a cob of flint corn, yellow red and black, with a beige-to-rust husk.

I decided to include flint corn instead of sweet corn in Hallowed Crossing as a nod to the First Nations people who are the original and continuing stewards of the land on which I live.

Pixel items: lemon thyme cookies, lemon pie, strawberry tart, chocolate bar, two types of mixed chocolates.

Over the week I've added 36 new items to Hallowed Crossing, including the first round of desserts!

A travel menu with a tarnished brass interface. Locations: Player Room, Mines, Forest, Rose Garden, Tropical Retreat, Succulent Sanctuary.

Today's feature is the warp menu! Now that I have more locations, it was becoming a necessity.

Today I was mostly working on items, especially from the mines.

Screencap of a pixel art farming game. A character in a grey sweater waters plants in a field. Outside of the field, there are trees overgrown with thorns and two peacocks.

I still need to write a proper summary of this game but I've been working hard on it. Here's a screencap of progress from a month or two ago.
