Point being, I'm sorry for taking such a criminally long hiatus without saying anything. We did a huge cross-province move and it took the best of me. But I'm finally starting to be settled into a new city and home now 🫶

You know when life gets busy and you disappear from social media for a bit, thinking you'll be back the next day so there's not much of a point announcing it. And then your timeline extends by a week, then another... and suddenly it's been months

Some Reddit comments assumed the Grave Regrets trailer contains AI animation, so I want to point out: there's zero AI, and every frame is hand-drawn. If anything I almost wish it was AI-assisted with how long it took to animate a simple head turn. Will be sharing more progress shots in the future.

I'm realizing now it probably wasn't the smartest move to start our announcement trailer with a black screen since videos don't autoplay on the bsky browser. #indiegame So to those who are too lazy to click, here's the summary:

Our psychological horror visual novel's key art, showing a freaky biblical angel with red eyes embracing a girl holding lilies. The text over it reads Grave Regrets, wishlist now.

Our game announcement got picked up by Denfamico Gamer 😱 I guess Japanese localization just went from "would be nice" to a priority...

After years of working on the same project, I can't believe it's about to finally be announced and "out there". I aim to keep the momentum going, which means the real work begins tomorrow. Let's look forward to it together 💪 #indiegamedev

The Steam page for our psychological horror and detective mystery visual novel is about to drop in just a few days, and our mailing list just hit 484 (!!!) people awaiting official news. 🚨 You don't think we could hit 500 before our page goes live, do you? ...Do you? #indiegamedev
