I'll be taking a break from game development for a while, and I'm stopping the monthly update format. Full explanation: Devlog Artificial Selection is not cancelled, though, and I look forward to working on it again after I've taken some time off. Thanks for understanding. Take care of yourselves

Cooking up some new keychain design ideas! The blank middle of each one is where the acrylic charm would go. 😈 This is the first time I’ll be doing the art AFTER already designing the rest of the keychain. I’m curious to see how it’ll turn out!

Three different beaded keychain designs: a blue one with stars, a pink one with flowers, and a red, vampire-inspired one

I want to up my merch game, so I’ve been learning how to craft beaded accessories by hand! These will make their debut on my catgirl keychains at Fantasy Basel, so I’m curious to see how well they’ll do!

This poor person was so shook by our woke pronouns that they didn't even get far enough to find out every character is bisexual

Curator review from "Beauty vs woke ugliness": Woke pronouns She, He, They.

I don't usually make posts like this, but so far we have 3 reviews on Steam, and we sold ONE entire copy via Itch. ...And well, today I found out our biggest source of traffic is from a piracy site. 🥲 If you have the means, we would really appreciate if you could support our indie game directly!

Artists, show what built your art style! Not sure how obvious any of these are, but 2015-2017 definitely solidified something in my brain that I can't change now

Ensemble Stars influenced my style the most, particularly regarding proportions (body & face). OGs might even know which art piece I referenced this specific card for, lol

Love Live influenced my shading style and how I draw hair!

YuGiOh irreversibly changed how I draw eyelashes lmao

Yamada-kun and the 7 Witches affected my character designs and why I make everyone a bisexual weirdo
