ダネーノバレインコートの妖精 I'm a fairy who makes cute and immersive games and whimsical music. Working on Feywardens at @whimlight.com. Hyperfixated on Medalist. I unfortunately don't speak Japanese yet. 🏳️‍⚧️ fae/she 💎 plural 🦋 /dah-NAY/ Avatar by glory_sketches

Sometimes (actually most of the time) I have this urge to yap about Medalist and how good both the anime and manga are (waiting for the physical release of vol. 14). Is there a place where Medalist fans gather and yap 24/7 about the series? I NEED IT! -Chai and Inori and maybe some others

I finally managed to make music for Wesley Smith's Repair game that I'm actually happy with! It took me 1.5 years of trying, failing, giving up, starting over, and chasing styles that I couldn't pull of decently. Thank goodness I could pull it off and I'm curious what y'all will think! 💪 - Nova

One of the biggest concerns for indie developers is how to protect their games from malicious AI clones. I've written a free guide that explains what you can do. You can improve your odds, but sadly nothing can make a game 100% copy-proof. Sharing = caring <3 deviantlegal.com/guide/how-to...

How to legally protect your video game from AI clones - Deviant Legal

AI can clone your game in days. Learn what copyright and trademarks protect, how to prepare before launch, and what to do when a copycat appears.

They be friends! It's the holy trifecta of Inori, Mimizu (Inori's worm plushie in the series), and my emotional support plushie Eevee. -Chai

I've been feeling kinda down and lonely in the evenings lately. My productivity has been either slow or hyperfocused on things without priority for the last weeks, but when it's time to relax I just feel empty? Maybe I just miss someone to talk and yap to in the late evenings. -Chai

Years of doing everything I can to reach perfectionism and avoid constant criticism from the people who are supposed to love me have permanently altered my brain into masking harder.
