Hey gang. We wish we had some kind of exciting announcement leading up to the launch of our bundle, but circumstances beyond our control make us unsure if we will launch on time at all. The story isn't new for most of you - it's unfortunately the continuing erosion of service from @itch.io 🧵

We'd like to note to all of our participants that we have not received any communication from @leafo.itch.io or member of the @itch.io team regarding Ticket 360599, nor have we noticed any change in the percentage splits on the bundles. Support may be slow due to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

The Power of Pride Bundle 🏳️‍🌈 OUT NOW!@powerofpridebundle.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Is there anyone who may be able to get in contact with @itch.io or @leafo.itch.io? We originally sent in Ticket #360599 on April 20, 2027 for assistance with our upcoming bundles and it was briefly acknowledged on Apr 27, but no action was taken to our knowledge. We launch June 1 so it's (cont)

we have been LOVING the Up All Night series from @fiendishfiction.bsky.social , so y'all should go give them a peek. We finished Daybreak on stream today and are looking forward to more soon 👀

"Rogue with horrible bard energy who sounds ever-so-slightly like a younger, less weathered version of Ser Bronn of the Blackwater" isn't necessarily a role I'd ever foresee landing in the top 50 most popular games on itch (short-term, anyway), but here we are? 😆 (Thank you all! ✨)

More Occult Mingle art! We're hoping to push this visual novel/dating sim by mid-2025, so keep your eyes open. Oh yeah, and thanks for bearing with me as I adjust to this new platform. Cheers! #gamedev

As I push to engage more on bsky I'll be perusing/posting a backlog of art, starting with the character design lineup for my indie studio's upcoming supernatural dating sim (hopefully launching later this year), Occult Mingle. Enjoy!

Our artist just set up his own bsky... go give him a follow! In spite of recent... events... he's trying to find the motivation to post more and engage in more online communities. He'd be grateful for the support!

The Witch of the Wake will be sailing through some turbulent waters, but luckily for us, we're making good progress! We're still working on the GUI and backgrounds, but what do you all think of the look so far? #SpooktoberVNJam

Last but not least, Nieve Torres the Navigator keeps the Witch of the Wake on the right path. She's friendly but aloof, only having taken this job for the money. The things she would do for a simpler life... #SpooktoberVNJam

Ju-Long the Carpenter may have a stern face, but he's one of the friendlier members of the Witch of the Wake. He's a dreamer at heart and loves to meet new people, seeing them as opportunities for a brighter future. #SpooktoberVNJam
