improperly wrapped leftovers of my takeout burrito, a little bit was spilling out in the fridge and I was like oh that's gore of my comfort character
After being in a few discord readings of it it's very funny in retrospect that when chapter 6 was still on the way I was like 'hmm, I dunno if this one is gonna do anything for people, I mean not a lot really HAPPENS-' And it's just like oh right it's. Like That.
The Cat As A Hat. I am a very serious villain. (Art by the fabulous @rosphix.bsky.social of myself and the fabulous @faintlyspotted.bsky.social )
Yes yes it's a story into which I have invested my soul and several years of my life and all that but I hope people also remember under heaven for capering and fucking around and doing fun little tricks with its presentation (The next build will have something that will be very funny (for me :3))
My sona has never really had 'lore' as such but Iusually imagine them in a fantasy setting in some druidic or princely sort of getup.But I've mostly gotten art of the former, should get more of the latter at some point If I ever establish a canonical outfit, perhaps some synthesis...
LOVE the crunchy, bleak atmosphere of this game. if u like reading about shame and characters being pushed to their limits, or if youve ever left tumblr/fandom communities bc you couldnt stand the way ppl behave lol, play this.
oscar@pepperbloom.bsky.social · 3w ago"my friend snowy" now runs in your browser! :] commenters have called it "miserable and terrifying," "gut-wrenching psychological horror," "DEEPLY uncomfortable," "fucking bleak and yet comic." let's all play with snowy. pepperbloom.itch.io/my-friend-sn... #toxicyurivnjam #pepperbloomdev
Starting on a new drafting push and made myself tear up on the first scene :3 Feeling REAL good about it and having a grand old time
seeing tokyo godfathers reference footage that they shot for the animators and satoshi kon himself is the reference model for hana. He looks so happy doing it too
Feelin pretty energized and excited about the next couple under heaven builds Like I'm happy with part one, but I feel like this is where we start really getting into what makes this story unique
Hey folks, we just released a quick bugfix patch for the public build to address a sprite that wasn't displaying properly. If you haven't already played it, please redownload the build from Itch.
Chapter 6 is now available for free on itch! Check it out here: itch.io/dashboard/po... With part one completed, we hope you'll enjoy diving into what's to come in part two Dev logs and more to come next week.
New update got me to cry. It's so important to make things. Letting yourself find joy in creating, and then being vulnerable enough to share it is beautiful. Definitely recommend this visual novel. Give it a read if you haven't already. <3
UNDER | HEAVEN@underheavenvn.bsky.social · 4w agoChapter 7 is now available for all patrons! With over 8 new CGs, this is one of the largest updates we've launched to date and- in my own humble opinion- it's really something special. Get it here: www.patreon.com/FaintlySpott...

"Bluesky isn't loading images" Finally... the time of the writer is here... you should read my VN "Visual novels have images" now listen here you little shit,
For the sake of having it all in one place, wanted to do a thread of commissioned art: First, the OG by @rosphix.bsky.social (plus icon)
Full resolution assets for chapter 7 are now available for Disc-tier patrons. For the rest of this month: we'll be launching chapter 7 for patrons on the 9th, chapter 6 public on the 10th, and sometime mid-month we'll be getting out the next development update and behind the scenes articles.
V funny to curate my feed well enough to only see people annoyed by discourse but not the thing itself, I feel like a scandalized dandy "Jeeves, you'll never believe what the teens are saying about this 'amazing digital circus'! Never seen it myself- clowns, you know- but it's positively ghastly."
Chapter 7 beta, including 8 new CGs (13 with significant variations) is now available for Wreath tier patrons! Check it out here: www.patreon.com/FaintlySpott... The team put a whole lot of love into this one, and we hope you'll enjoy.
For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...
Changes to our Contribution Policies – Godot Engine
Godot is growing fast, so here is how we are dealing with the huge increase in contributions.

Development's wrapping up and we're currently hoping to have chapter 7 done late this week! After seeing the finished art, I'm very, very excited to get it in y'alls hands.
Was incredibly floored to receive this from @phwog.bsky.social, based on when we met back at further confusion! It's so good aaaa
Deep spoiler for the next under heaven update: the new julian sprites are so cute. I will squish his little cheeks
Important visual novel development lesson: if you have a protagonist with very big antlers that is going to be a problem more often than you would think
"My ironclad deck is exhausting and vulnerable" me too, it's not special
Happy pride!! In celebration, here's Ash biting the shit out of Julian's neck (they are very good friends).
