Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 Which Resurface catboy is your personal fave? (they can be yuor 😈 trick... or 🍬 treat) #halloween2025 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

An illustration of five young men in various skimpy catboy Halloween costumes. The colors are limited to black, white, and orange, and each character is wearing large over-sized paws, fake cat ears, and a tail, while their midriffs are exposed. In order, the three young men standing in the back have a serious, a silly, and an embarrassed expression. The two kneeling in the foreground look happy and smug respectively.

Our artist is tackling the CG illustrations currently, but they still made time to draw this adorable sketch of Godfrey! Truly a beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure... 🦆💜 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

A colored sketch of a young man looking at a waddling of baby ducklings. He has dark brown skin, purplish hair, and bright blue eyes. The ducklings are calm, sitting down or looking up at him, and he's looking down at them, smiling peacefully.

It's been a while since the love interests had some time to shine, so today we have a beautiful illustration of Cato to share! ⭐ As always, he's ever the moody and mysterious one... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

Aaand Botein's sprites are now finished! Botein is much more open about her motivations than someone like Rasalas, but she's definitely not going to make things easy for poor Misha. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

A visual novel-style sprite of a young woman. She's wearing a loose-fitting blue and yellow shirt. Her ears are pointed, and she has bright green eyes and short, red horns which protrude upwards. Her expression is neutral and her right hand is clasped to her chest.

Another set of sprites finished! 🥳 Happy Friday! Our mysterious lady goes by the name Rasalas, and she's quite hard to get a read on. One thing's for sure, though—she definitely has her own objective. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

Another #WIPWednesday, another sprite in the works! 🌟 This time our artist is working on sprites for Botein, another character who might stand in Misha's way—depending on the route you choose, of course... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

A work-in-progress sketch of a visual novel-style sprite, this time of a young woman. She's slightly chubby, with short, stubby red horns on top of her head. Her eyes are green and her ears are pointed, and she has a neutral expression. Her shirt is a dark, mustard yellow with blue trim and hangs loose over her arms.

Happy #WIPWednesday bluesky! Another character sprite is in the works, but it's hard to tell just yet whether she'll be a friend or foe to our protagonist Misha... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

A work-in-progress sketch of a visual novel-style sprite. The sprite is of a young woman. She has pale skin, long brown hair, and horns on her head which are folded back close to the skull. Her hands are gently folded in front of her and her expression seems somewhat coy.

Happy Friday, bluesky! 🥳 Lyr's sprites are officially finished! She and Kaus in particular seem to have some sort of special connection, but you'll have to go through the different routes for yourself to discover what that is. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

A visual novel-style sprite for a young woman. Her left hand is raised, fingers curled, and she has a determined expression. She has dark brown skin, green-and-brown hair, green eyes, and green horns on her head which point directly up.

With his sprite officially finished, meet Kaus: a dangerous force standing in Misha's way no matter which route you pursue. His grudge against Misha seems to have some deeper meaning behind it, but as for what that is... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

A visual novel-style sprite of a young man. He has a dark skin tone, is dressed in a loose-fitting blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trim, and has pointed ears and horns on his head which point straight up.

We've got something different for today's post! Our artist has been working on concepts for the adult scenes, and now we have a variety of dicks in different shapes and sizes. 🤔🔎 Any preferences? Which ones do you guys like best? #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

Several different concept images for fantasy dicks, each labeled A through I. They differ in size and shape, and each of them appears blue and slightly gelatinous.

Happy Friday, bluesky!! 🥳 Hyades' sprite has been fully finished, and this time we're showing a slightly softer side of him than before! Did you guys prefer the expression from the WIP, or do you like this gentler look better? #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

A visual novel-style sprite of a young man. He's wearing an oversized green and white jacket that comes down past his arms, and has short brown hair and ram-style horns that fold backwards. His expression is somewhat gentle and pensive.

By now we've introduced most of our main cast, but that doesn't mean we're done with introductions just yet! We still have quite a few characters you'll see more of very soon... 🤭 And others you may not see until much later on. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn

An image of 4 silhouetted visual novel sprites standing next to each other. Most details are impossible to make out, but all of them have horns on their head, and their heights are different from one another.

The title of the visual novel is "Resurface," and text in the bottom right corner says "...And many more!" with regards to the silhouetted character sprites.

Today we're taking a little break from character profiles to show a new sprite WIP instead! This is a little sneak peek of Hyades, a strange and mysterious boy. Just what sort of role do you think he'll play in Misha's story? 👀 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn

A WIP of a visual novel sprite featuring a young man. The young man has backwards-facing horns and short brown hair, and is wearing a crop top with a large, oversized jacket over it. The jacket has holes in the middle of the sleeves exposing part of the arms.
