Menu screen for the visual novel, "Man's Last Friends". Art depicts a realistic black and white background of playground equipment on a hill. Two illustrated dogs are in the foreground, one walking into the trees while the other looks on.

Visual novel screenshot. A cartoon Dachshund smiles to the viewer. Tex box reads, "That's not what was important. What was important was that my kid had me stand real close to her while she talked to the nice old human, and I could smell the treats in her pocket."

Visual novel screenshot. Three cartoon dogs - a Dachshund, a Golden Retriever, and a Doberman - stand in front of a dirt yard background. They look on with fear, anger, and smugness respectively. The textbox reads, from a character named Thor, "Are you seriously trying to keep it from him? He's not an actual pup, you know."

Visual novel screenshot. Two cartoon dogs are in front of a kennel background, with a happy Dachshund and happy Bull Terrier. The text box reads, "My tail wagged excitedly at the realization. Which seemed to make her happy, because she chuckled and wagged hers back."

my project for #nanoreno is up!!

"Emilio is a Dachshund on his way to his very first day at doggy daycare! There he'll meet new friends, eat new treats, and learn new things! Though...maybe there are things he wishes he didn't learn about..."

A scifi library where some of the books are floating. A cat stares through the skylight.

There are no cats in Stellar Confluence, but when our background artist @ceefarer.bsky.social edited this into the library background I couldn't resist sharing it.

(I'm a victim.😔 Chim, you need to compensate me through what my eyes went through this month...)

Sooo you may know I'm working with a team for NaNoRenO 2026! And it's about time I show you a bit of what we're doing~

Here's the love interests for our upcoming VN! Aren't they both enchanting~?

The Crooked Man using the British slang 'the lollipop' lady - meaning crossing guard when asked if he's the Crooked Man.

Oh Cru-chan, what are you like? Someone asks who you are, and this is the answer you give them. The New York HQ of BBA won't know what hit them - this game should be out by the end of the week BTW!
