We're MOST thankful for our social media manager who made this beautiful monstrosity out of assets our artist left lying around (yes the social media manager wrote this post, why do you ask?) #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2025 #grateful #thankful #gamedev #indiegame

There are two character drawings on a light gray purple background. Both are the same character, which is a green female wearing a purple dress. She has very large ears and her hair is in a bun. However, they have been altered from their original form. In the top left variation, the character’s arms have been removed and there is now a second set of ears in their place, making the character look like she has tentacle arms. In the bottom right variation, the ears have been removed and the arms have been shifted up to where the ears used to be.

Hi! I’m Effie, the creator of Halloween Court! Started to face my perfectionism, others now help my daydream come to life. Achieving the same gravitas as Shakespeare, Bailiff speaks only in iambic pentameter. Since the first line, Bailiff has been a delightful challenge to write! #gamedev #writer

Hello! I’m @jux-draws.bsky.social and I’ve been working on this game since 2022. Pitched as a living meme, Witchard has evolved into a bigender legend! Their design was a fun challenge, and many looks were tried until we found the ultimate design that Witchard would thrive in #gamedev #bigender

Doing some character design for a game I'm working on with a friend! The working title is Lyra and its about these two sillies on a space station. I'll start posting sprites once they're finalized a bit more hehe. Its gonna be cool. Plus space lesbians! #indiegame #ocart #characterdesign

A pencil drawing of two people bust up. The one on the top has long dark hair in a low bun and smiles off to the side. The one on the bottom has long slightly curled hair and is smiling. A heart is between them with lines going towards both of them.
