I'm really excited about this one~ Take No Prisoners will be a cyberpunk stat raising visual novel 📊 3 routes, 9 endings: Pursue 3 paths to power (with varying results). Stat raising system: Manipulate, lie, or just be plain selfish. Phone system: Text/call people and take on jobs.

I have a few projects in development, but since those are going to need some more time in the oven I thought I'd write a couple scenarios exploring some other dynamics in Bloom's universe 🌸 I'd say you can expect these before the year is out ❤️ #bloom #romance #fantasy #yuri

Proof that I'm still working on Bloom! The next update will include some voiced acted scenes (marked with a small flag in the top right), and a new after story for Felix and Albion ❤️ #bloom #otome #visualnovel #romance

The fest was approved! "Games That Ace It" will be held on Steam during Ace Week this fall! 🖤🤍💜 To that end, I'm opening up submissions for games that: - Are made by ace devs; OR - Include ace chars or themes docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Thank you @kinmoku.bsky.social for the wonderful logo!

In case anyone’s wondering how #otomejam2026 is going

Pro tip: if you have writers block just insert a character associated with or named after a cat. Works every time.

It's Kaspian's turn! Here's a look at his exclusive love interests! As Kaspian you'll be able to romance the fire dragon, Saint Seraphina, the uncompromising elf, Erevan or the games' other protagonist, Kestrel❤️ #amare #romance #indiegame

Key scenes in Bloom are getting voiced! I'm really excited to update the game so everyone can hear the characters ❤️ Coming this summer 🏖️ nightlightwrks.itch.io/bloom

Kestrel is one of two protagonists in this upcoming #OtomeJam2026 project Ember & Sands (an official spin-off to Bloom)! And just like last time, Ember & Sands is made up of an entirely POC and queer cast ❤️

Happy Pride Month!!! The Power of Pride Bundle is live now ❤️ 396 games made by queer creatives are available all in one bundle from now until July 6th! If you'd like to/are able to support Bloom along with hundreds of other creators, now's the perfect chance~

A good 90% much of my motivation comes from seeing other peoples games and thinking “Man, I wish I could work on a project like that.” Because one day, hopefully, I’ll have the skills to make/assist that very same project I was inspired by before.

I've been sitting on this devlog for some time now, but I think I've finally organized my thoughts in a way that makes sense! You can check it out here ⬇️ nightlightwrks.itch.io/bloom/devlog...

On Creating An All-Black VN

Now that Bloom is essentially done with development I've had some time to think. There are many things I realized about myself while making Bloom. Some of them I, unfortunately, believe are too…
