iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Are we weird enough for #WeirdTober? In our game, you are a murderous creature who is solving a murder just so she can murder the guy who makes her solve said murder. Unless… she falls in love with him. youtu.be/a5LtuRaCjeA?...

When I was younger, I dreamt of being a published novelist, and as hard as it is to achieve, it's not an impossible dream for me as a woman. Getting my "silly" ideas greenlighted by a gamedev studio led by man IS impossible. If I wasn't self funding my own project, no one would give me a chance.

Like it or not, you will keep coming back to this place, where it all started. Summoned by Magus to slay, pardon, or leave him broken-hearted. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #DarkAcademia

I almost cried reading this thread. It's a constant topic in our team, and even if I know there must be an audience for what we do, there are days when I wonder: maybe I am crazy after all. Seeing people talking about that particular market gap being real, I'm more motivated than ever to write 🥹

Not sure when exactly, but our game will be a -ber month release, with its dusty, old university rooms and foggy streets dimly lit by gas lamps—which you will explore investigating a murder case in a dark fantasy setting. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #DarkAcademia

no one should have sex with anyone at valve until they quit delisting indie games for the mildest depictions of sexuality

I don't quite like where Koei Tecmo went with recent Atelier games, but I may yet forgive them for making a game adaptation of one of my favourite anime 🐸 Fingers crossed for it to be good.

It’s #WishlistWednesday so if you or someone you know would be interested in a game that is an interactive #WhoDoneIt, #DarkAcademia, #FantasyRomance adventure, you know what to do 😅 We are but a tiny team of two hopeless dreamers, just started promoting our project. Let us know what you think!

We just finished playing, been super sneaky, cleaned everyone's messes, got the promotion and all 🫡 Still charmed with the ending and definitely looking forward for more stories from you guys! @lowbirthgames.bsky.social
