Medalist Vol. 13 is here let's gooooo! I just finished Vol. 2 today and want to limit my reading speed to 1 volume a day so that I don't devour these mangas too fast. I'm really loving how accurate the anime is to the manga, it's awesome! -Chai #medalist

Birthday presents so far! I got the Inori figurine by myself, but now she isn't so alone anymore in her room, she has a whole library now! -Chai

I've released v0.2.2 of Chai's Chai Shop! It comes with two new customers, some new shop items, balance changes, and a whole lot of polish! If you haven't checked out the playtest yet, now is a great time to do so in my Discord server at discord.gg/2bbEpTkPDG! 💜 -Chai #gamedev #indiegame

My dearest Eevee just had a bath for the first time since I got her two years ago. It was scary putting an emotional support plushie through that, but I'm sure she will appreciate being all clean and fluffy again! -Chai

I've been working more on Chai's Chai Shop now that I'm back from my vacation! Here are some of the characters I've created lately: Bella, Amber, and Chip! Stay tuned for more updates on the playtest for Chai's Chai Shop! 🍵 #gamedev #indiegame #gameart

Three pixel-art characters: a peasant girl holding a bell pepper, a bee girl, and a fairly looking like a christmas elf.

We started wearing our headmate bracelets in public! Wanted to do that for a long time already. No more hiding! -Chai

Today is a special day to me, because it's been 3 years since Chai, our first headmate, emerged and we had our plural awakening (which also means it's Chai's birthday)! 🍰 We're done hiding behind a mask that doesn't reflect who we actually are. So hi everyone, we're Danae and we're plural! 🌸 -Chai

Kinda wanna do a new alt fairy photoshoot with some of my favorite outfits again... I've changed so much since 2022, just before I started HRT! But there's always that crippling fear of doing things alone and figuring out stuff in the big outside world...

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 16/07/2026

It's time to announce what I've been working on the past few months! Chai's Chai Shop is a point and click Diner Dash-style game where Chai the fairy runs her own tea shop. Serve customers, buy upgrades and unlock new recipes to make Chai's fairy friends happy! #indiegame #gamedev #fairies

Today marks 7 years since I publicly came out as being trans. 🏳️‍⚧️ I've come a long way since then, like finding my own style and aesthetic and accepting parts of my neurospicy and more spiritual self, but it wouldn't have bene possible with the amazing folks around me who accept me as I am! 💜

Character pixel art I did (with some help) for a new side project I've been working on for a few weeks! Featuring my Chai, Lilith, Melodie, Danae, Mana, and Nova; Maple and Hazel of @runicpixels.nl; and Paige of @flashkirby.bsky.social. Who can guess what they will be up to? #gamedev #indiegame

And of course I couldn't resist bringing home a fairy plushie to complete the collection! Now I have all the three Droomvlucht plushies and Olivia is also part of the Plushies of the Tea Party!

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 12/04/2026

Went to the Efteling yesterday, and it was amazing as always! The ambience is so whimsical and fantastical! And of course they have Droomvlucht, the famous fairy dark ride. If you ever find yourself in the Netherlands, go visit this amazing theme park! 🧚🏻‍♀️

This is Nova, or as I like to call her, "other Nova". She started out appearing on my music album covers, but gradually she's been starting to live a life on her own too. She's curious and it's very easy to make her blush! Art by glory_sketches on IG and DA #fairy #fairyart #ocsky

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 26/03/2026

Now it's time for Chai to shine! She's Lilith's lil' sis and she likes sleeping, cookies, Eevee, and bouncing around on bubbles and in ball pits. She's a child and very playful, yet she cares a lot about the folks she loves. 💜🍪 Art by glory_sketches on IG and DA #fairy #fairyart #ocsky

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 16/03/2026

Next up is Lilith, my first fairy OC who turns 10 years old this year! She is a dreamer and has mood swings from time to time, and loves figure skating and her little sis Chai. Even after this time she still gives me a lot of comfort. Art by @maricu.bsky.social #fairy #fairyart #ocsky

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 13/03/2026

I wanna share my fairies with the world! First up is Mana, she's the fairy of fragments, crystals, and shards. She looks badass and nonchalant, but she's actually very caring when you get to know her. Art by glory_sketches on DA and IG. #fairy #fairyart #ocsky

Hi everyone! I'm not at GDC, but I do make games! I'm a composer, technical audio designer and indie game dev with 5+ years experience. I'm currently trying to break through in the games industry, and I'm having fun doing game jams and small projects on the side. #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Danae Nova @danae.dev · 08/03/2026

I'm so happy with the results for #BrackeysGameJam! Our team managed to score 23rd place overall and 5th place in audio our of 1431 entries. I'm very proud of what we have done, being in the top 2% of such a big game jam is a huge achievement! Play Amaya's Light at: itch.io/jam/brackeys...

Part 2 of my rebranding is live: from now on I'll publish my indie game endeavours as Audune, instead of Audune Games. I decided to change this to stress that I am a humble person making games in my free time, and not a big indie game studio. #gamedev

I've joined #123scopegamejam as a solo dev and I'm working on a CMYK-themed tower defense game! The challenge is to only use 1 environment, 2 mechanics, and 3 challenges/enemies. Progress has been good last weekend, made some nice art for tiles and towers and a fancy UI mockup! #gamedev #cmyktd

Eevee! Made this originally to accompany it with text about closing my account on the gram of the insta, but she is dfinitely more cute without the text!
