It's always great to see that The Dreams in the Peacock House is getting some attention on @itch.io once in a while! I got some great reviews there recently. Still not nearly as much as some of my free games, but I'm really grateful that some people find it there too! #gamedev #indiegames

I wish I could have had achievements in my game, because there's one secret in the game you can only find by changing the code of the game (as a small easter egg from another game), and I do wonder if someone found it yet 😅

I saw a post where someone said that my game was pretentious, but in a good way. And it couldn't make me happier. Most of the art that inspires me are often called pretentious, so when I see people describing about my game as pretentious or artsy, I feel like I've done a good job! #gamedev

I decided to finally add the No Gen AI seal to the steam page of my game. With some discourse I've seen lately about "well, everyone uses AI now", I feel like it's important to show that there are still a lot of devs and artists that don't use it!

Harlequin Diver @harlequindiver.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

The mods of the gamedev subreddit making a post (which is most likely written by AI) to say that AI generated posts are not low effort and are tolerated is quite funny. Gen AI will always be low effort. It's not like any other "tool", like they claim it is. Time to move on from that place, I guess

I think one of my favorite things I like to see in the reviews for my game is when people write that they're looking forward to play more of my work in the future. It keeps me motivated to keep going and to make more games! #gamedev

Steam review for the game The Dreams in the Peacock House that says: What an amazing game! Short but OH so sweet. It was beautiful, complex, spooky, and very replayable. I'll have to go back to find all of the hidden easter eggs. I can't wait to play more games by Harlequin Diver!.

Just found out that there's some torrents of my game out there, that got uploaded a few days ago. And honestly, I'm kind of surprised about it, since it's still a pretty obscure and niche game. But I'm fine with it and hopefully some of these people will like it enough to buy it!

Did you know that The Dreams in the Peacock House was only 11 MB? The advantage of working with a small tool like Decker and with a limited color palette. A small and short game that can run on almost anything!

I often get comments on a few of my games similar to "I don't know what I played or what happened, but I liked it". I always love comments like these, since a lot of games/movies/books I love don't always make sense and focus more on atmosphere and feelings rather than having a cohesive story.

I listened to old electronic music I made when I was around 18 and, even if I was never really good at it, I do miss making music and creating little albums. Maybe I should compose some songs again. I'll see.

Une aventure textuelle avec des énigmes en point & click. Le jeu met en avant le processus de création artistique sur fond de psychologie, le tout avec une DA somptueuse et une lourde ambiance psychélique/surréaliste. C'est court, prenant et plein de bonnes idées de mise en scène.

A bit more than a month after the release of the game and there's barely any visits on the Steam page anymore, which was to be expected, I guess. I reached out to the streamers/youtubers I could, as well as some steam festivals, so hopefully, it will gain visibility through that again. 🤞 #gamedev
