I drew bonnie(the protagonist) from the game once upon a witch's curse☺️ I saw all 4 of the endings and it was such a lovely game!

Just released a short piece of otome interactive fiction (inspired by reading too many indulgent romantasy novels/manhwa) for #O2A2 vn jam! Only 1k words, 1 sprite, 1 background and 1 morally dubious love interest~ naoimh-murchan.itch.io/the-revoluti...

【 Enter a world of magic—of Fae and Dragon.】 The Fae are finally here, officially marking the end to our 5 year long journey and the beginning of your love story ✨ Our fantasy romance visual novel is ready to play! 🌙 Alaris out on Steam and Itch NOW!
Feeling down... maybe it's time to replay the best Dragon Age game... Awakening. (I haven't played it in at least a decade, but this is what nostalgia tells me is true)
You wake up by the side of the road with a headache and a stranger's jacket. You don’t recognise it. You don’t recognise the man whose ID you find in the pocket, either. So why does an older version of you stare back when you turn on his phone? And why is she smiling beside him? s.team/a/4309120
It's out! \o/ Play as chaotic witch Bonnie, after a mismanaged curse that got her into trouble, also offers her a chance for love! Will the adorable demonic muscle of Gigi charm her? What about the the fae prince Ronan, who literally falls into her life? Romance both or neither in this free vn!
Once Upon a Witch's Curse by Naoimh "Storm" Murchan

Hello~ would any moots be interested in playtesting my latest romance vn? It's cozy and chaotic, with 4 endings, 2 love interests (1f/f, 1f/m) and a poly option! (beautiful art as always by @squirrelcurls.bsky.social )
Finally finished All Hail Chaos today - ended it as I started too, in tears (would not recommend starting it in a cafe nero haha). A very cathartic read as someone who was once sick and hard to love. I need more Lia... my conniving sapphic... i love her
It's time for an updated animation reel! I'm thinking of opening some animation slots soon as well, now that I've had more experience with Twitch alerts too- keep an eye out! 💼 www.squirrelcurls.com ✉️meliano99@gmail.com #animation #storyboards

The Kickstarter and Demo for Burn the Midnight Oil is now live! 🦇❤️🔥 Play as the vampire Circe or the hellhound Dante in this supernatural neon-noir romance visual novel. Solve crimes, steal hearts, and resist (or embrace) the darkness within... LINK: www.kickstarter.com/projects/129...
My baby programmer advice: 1) do not make your code too generic before you have to. ThingDoer the Everything Script is evil and should be destroyed. 2) If you realise you're implementing a feature similar to an existing one, do not be precious about other peoples code, rip it out, make it generic-er
Cat Manning@catacalypto.bsky.social · 4mo agowould love to see a thread of small practical pieces of advice developers just starting out or unfamiliar with a genre might not know! I’ll start: if you’re using a tag-based system, don’t just give everything an individual tag—look for thematic groups where similar events can lead to same outcome
😱 #nanoreno2026 game jam COMPLETE! Made a demo for Check Mates, a #chess based visual novel. Poured so much energy in and really pleased. Feeling like it could maybe be a full game. Sprites, cutscenes, code, writing, narrative, game design by me! unaminh.itch.io/check-mates #gamedev #indiegames

My toxic trait is that every few months I open Inky and start thinking about writing my own Unity line id generator with localisation and VO support with a custom editor just for fun. Its truly cyclical, and every time I look at other premade options they're never JUST right.
