LAST CHARACTER I'll be sharing!! Yang FR this time! One of my faves! Opposite to Yin, their imagery resides in the realm of the sun with a side of CVNT.

Back to the mines again for me, but if you haven't yet!! CHECK OUT ALARIS!! IT'S MADE WITH SO MUCH LOVE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! crescence-studio.itch.io/alaris

Alaris by Crescence Studio

Enter a world of magic—of Fae and Dragon.

August and September are going to be busy months for me, so money's going to be tight. As you all know, I self-fund all my games. I've opened up a goal to help raise funds for AroDynamics editing + audio for A Little Inconvenience ($900 total). Anything helps! ❤️ ko-fi.com/husbandogodd...

On the second last design! Yang was such a fun challenge to make someone more loosely humanoid to represent the element of 'yang.' Worked with night imagery again, but this time using the Moon as inspiration with contrasting negative spaces 💜

➡️I AM OPEN W/ LIMITED SLOTS♡ ➡️YCH OT3 (Sandwich Kiss) still AVAILABLE♡ ➡️CHARACTER REF SHEETS are now AVAILABLE♡ #mintheart #ych #opencommissions

Next up is BABY GORL!! Another queen of the night, with focus on different aspects of it compared to Haliya. Her designs inlude elements of ice and shadows, while also implying slightly more oppressed notions about her role as a royal 💜

🎉 IT'S LIVE 🎉 The game industry hardship fund itch bundle made in partnership with @necrosoftgames.com is HERE. Over 100 games for $10+ bucks: all funds (save for itch fees) go directly to the UVW-CWA Game Worker Hardship Fund. GOOD GAMES FOR A GOOD CAUSE👇 itch.io/b/3802/game-...

AND NOW!!! One of my most proudest designs!! We still look at the side boob and cleavage out roughs in mourning, but we had to make sure Sol looked like the crucial king he is! Finding ways to integrate dragon details into his design was so immensely fun for me 💜

Next character is KESARIII! I'm so fond of the ideas I came up for her design. Finding ways to express her earthly connections brought out such a whimsical side of me 💜 I always also enjoy splicing together ideas so we can see if they're far more interesting, such as in her case!

I'm excited today to announce a very special release: Our Fantastic Wonderland was chosen last year to be translated as part of Queer Them All! And now the teams are finished! You can now play OFW in 14 new languages! Please check out this amazing project! justacarrot.itch.io/our-fantasti...

NEXT!!!!! AN ABSOLUTE BADDIE!! Night itself possessed me for her design, I had so much from playing around with different ideas for this queen 💜

We’re hard at work making final decisions for Issue 3 this week, which makes this a great time to remind you that we next open to submissions in October! For Issue 4, we’ll be looking for pieces that connect (even loosely) to the theme “exploration.” Dates + guidelines: othersidespec.com/guidelines

Please consider leaving a review if you haven't yet!! As a free game it doesn't get much of a boost in the algorithm because it has no "sales" like other games, so only things like reviews and direct engagement help it get shown to more people 😅

I finished my first solo release of the year! The Couple Next Door: Reflections is a short exploration of the life of a couple with some unhealthy dynamics. It’s an O2A2 entry so it’s pretty minimalistic and experimental. You can give it a shot here: theartofgaming.itch.io/the-couple-n...

I'll say it again: Reviews are the best way you can help a game you love (besides telling everyone you know about it!). If you like/love a game, pop a review on their Steam page. It makes the devs day, provides feedback, enhances the search algorithm and tells new players what to look out for.

Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 4mo ago

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!
