You know when life gets busy and you disappear from social media for a bit, thinking you'll be back the next day so there's not much of a point announcing it. And then your timeline extends by a week, then another... and suddenly it's been months

Spent the last five days trying to code something simple that was supposed to take a couple of hours. Today I learned it wasn't working not because there was anything wrong with my code but because my image files were somehow corrupt (for no apparent reason). How's everyone else's new year going?

Finally, we get to participate in #wishlistwednesday with Grave Regrets. 🖤 Featuring story-rich psychological horror and cute anime girls, what more can you ask for?
Some Reddit comments assumed the Grave Regrets trailer contains AI animation, so I want to point out: there's zero AI, and every frame is hand-drawn. If anything I almost wish it was AI-assisted with how long it took to animate a simple head turn. Will be sharing more progress shots in the future.
friendly reminder to not mention that new creative project you’ve been working on to your family this christmas, unless you want to experience an annual “so how’s it going?” and “when’s it gonna be finished” interrogation next year and every year after that
It's that time of year again when I must post Lily in her Santa hat ♥️

Can't believe we broke 2000 in under one week. Thank you to everyone who wishlisted Grave Regrets!
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
Thank you, Denfaminico Gamer for covering Grave Regrets. 🖤 The outpouring of support from Japan has been extremely meaningful.

I'm realizing now it probably wasn't the smartest move to start our announcement trailer with a black screen since videos don't autoplay on the bsky browser. #indiegame So to those who are too lazy to click, here's the summary:

Our game announcement got picked up by Denfamico Gamer 😱 I guess Japanese localization just went from "would be nice" to a priority...

After years of working on the same project, I can't believe it's about to finally be announced and "out there". I aim to keep the momentum going, which means the real work begins tomorrow. Let's look forward to it together 💪 #indiegamedev
