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

Pausing Development — It's rough out here

Hey everyone, It’s funny — this post started as me writing about how I simply needed an additional week to get the current update done, when I quickly realized I kind of just wanted to never publi...

It's so funny to see how "small producers" are those who create less than 10 TONS of packaging a year - they can't even comprehend how insignificant someone like me is

Truly don't think I've ever encountered this before. Usually, if you cancel a subscription early and they still make you pay for it, YOU AT LEAST GET TO KEEP USING IT FOR AS LONG AS YOU PAID FOR. This just makes me even more convinced I need to get the hell out of there. Fuck Google for real

Not only do they make it extremely hard to find how to cancel your Google Workspace subscription, but EVEN WORSE, once you do find it, they are happy to immediately remove all your features, but they still MAKE YOU PAY for the remaining year of your subscription!!!! THE GALL!!!!

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

That is very kind of you to ask, thank you! I think Steam is still better overall (if you leave a review), since that’s where in the long term, the algorithm could reach far more people on its own!

KigyoDev @kigyodev.com · 04/05/2026

I understand piracy is a complex topic, but I can't deny it stings a lot to see people wanting to play our game for free when we haven't even come close to breaking even on all our invested effort. Man...

KigyoDev @kigyodev.com · 04/05/2026

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!
