I miss limitations to #media consumption. Having to go to a library or rental place for games/movies. Reading the TV guide to find new shows to watch. Browsing the web for obscure anime on weird websites. Not having everything available was really part of the fun. How to recreate this anticipation?

I’ve seen comments on our Red Kiss trailer posted on various platforms claiming our animation is #AI. Just wanted to clarify that all the frame by frame #animation was done by hand and the in-game shots are Live2D. We don’t use genAI @wispfire.com, not a second of that trailer contains AI. #indiedev

Throwback to the first design I did for Red Kiss, astutely called vampdaddy.png. Somehow "Daddy" didn't change much at all, just more refined and a sharper fashion sense.

Really happy with @them0rri.bsky.social noticing our vibrant art style. 💗 We really worked hard on making Red Kiss a unique looking game. And the character designs of @adrhaze.bsky.social for this game turned out very cool and sexy, if I may say so. 🩸💋
Xbox and Sony's games all looked the same this year. Here's why the PC Gaming Show won
While I was excited to learn more about the likes of Fable and Halo Campaign Evolved, Xbox's 2026 showcase didn't leave me all that excited.
