We are vehemently, unequivocally against any and all use of generative AI in game development. It's disappointing to see studios whose games we enjoyed, flippantly integrate this plagiarising, soulless technology into their works. Our games are made by PEOPLE, full stop.

Psst hey, did you know that "Ravencourt Manor" in Halloween Scrooge is a real place? It's a house called "Ravenscliffe Castle" in our home city of Hamilton, Ontario! It was actually up for sale again recently too... Anyone want to give us $7 million to buy it? 🤣 (imagine the property tax $!!)

Thank you for the love #Blacksky game dev circle! 🥺 ❤️ as 3 black girls we've grown up not really seeing ourselves represented very often in games & when I wanted to get into developing romance games specifically it was in part due to the lack of main characters + love interests that looked like me

Hamilton Hour @hamiltonhour.com · 20/11/2024

different flavours of flirting you've already seen in 3 Seasons 😏 makes you wonder how Briar will flirt... #otome | #amare | #3Seasons

Yuto, smiling with eyebrows raised, standing in the midst of a winter carnival. the textbox reads "I wouldn't rule out a second go, but I feel more secure with my arms around you."

Rye, wearing a sly expression, standing in the spring office. the textbox reads "Well, you don't have to call it a date if you don't want to. I thought you liked bold and direct romantic gestures."

Sol, blushing and flustered. the background is a sunny beach with NPC silhouettes lounging. The textbox reads "Oh! I was staring, huh? I just thought you look great--I mean, it looks great on you... But you also look great."

There will always be an appreciation for the awkward moments and awkward people in anything I make XD

Screenshot from A Simple Twist of Fae. In the scene, Kalaira is on the right, and Nuri is on the left. They are facing away from one another in a room with furniture and silhouettes of people. Textbox: "We stand there for about three seconds too awkwardly. I don't think I've met his eyes."

A screenshot from the visual novel Halloween Scrooge, showing the character Grimm smirking while standing in the main character's living room. The text reads "How about this... If you can guess the number I'm thinking of between 1 and 10, I'll tell you some small but ultimately meaningless prediction about your insignificant life."

A screenshot from the visual novel Halloween Scrooge, showing the character Endo frowning while standing in the middle of a Halloween carnival. The text reads "if a hungry vampire gets their hands on you, I'll never hear the end of it."
