We're trying to spend more time supporting and promoting indie developers and we saw this amazing Kickstarter for this fascinating concept. A deck(case)builder game where you sue a billionaire for poisoning a river? Gib.

As conversation circle this topic, Were You Followed reiterates itself not just as non-GenAI, but anti GenAI. All work, from concept to shipping, is 100% human-flawed and beautiful for it. GenAI, in its entirety, is antithetical to everything we stand for.

Happy International Women's day. Were You Followed came about through a dedicated group of support around and including women. We want to be the management change we want to see in the industry, leading by example and creating games that make the world a better place, one monster romance a time.

Were You Followed wishes everyone a very merry and safe holiday season. However you celebrate, or do not, we simply hope that you are safe in this busy and hectic time, emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Be well, all. You deserve happiness.

Were You Followed has a zero tolerance for GenAI. All projects coming out of Were You Followed are ethically and contractually required to be 100% human made, with no use of GenAI in the creative process at all. This is a stance we take, stand on, and will never falter. Human creativity forever.

Political discourse and gaming are intrinsically entwined. The conservative and legal actions of the UK, US, and the censorship of Mastercard and Visa of adult content actively impact the design of Incarnal in tangible ways.

Scorn caught you looking. (He's naked of his VFX, be nice to him).

Our dream is to normalise romance in games so much that we inspire Sandfall Interactive to work with the developer of Dark Queen of Mortholme to make an Elden Ring-scale version of that game. Please make the big lady step on us and fall in love.

If you like the idea of monstrous romance, please go visit the Drăculești Kickstarter and have a great look at the amazing work they are doing over there! It's important to support indies, and this is an excellent example of new ground we can forge.

... Where are you all coming from? And how do I put more posts there? Welcome to our monster kissing project! Please feel free to ask us any questions. I will scrounge up our creative lead from wherever she's buried in angst.

Were You Followed @wereyoufollowed.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

There are so many of you! We are so excited to see more interest in this game. With the most recent issues that are plaguing video games, we feel it is even more important to talk about intimacy and relationships in games than ever before. We can't wait to show you what we're doing.

We have so many things chugging away in the background. We are so excited to show you more of Scorn and what we have planned with his visual design! We hope you look forward to romance with our walking (sort of) magical trauma engine.

Were You Followed @wereyoufollowed.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Scorn would be very overwhelmed by all the love you are giving him. We might have to commission our wonderful @sixfoot-ant.bsky.social to make some reacts for us to show how little he knows what to do with it.

Are you new to our socials? Excellent! What would encourage you to follow us? What do you need to see from us before you're invested in this concept? Help us help you get excited for kissing monsters and falling in love.

Our wonderful concept artist has helped us conceptualise so many lovely gestures from our Scorn. Will you be able to do this in game? Yes. Yes you will.

This weekend we worked with a wonderful animator to bring our 3D model of our poster boy, Scorn, to life. We can't show you the deets because it's pure RnD at this stage. But heeere's a hint:

A digital hand cradles the jawline of a digital monstrosity in a tender gesture.

Hi all! We are coming up to some critical funding events in our local area for game design and one of the most important elements of this is community building and growth. If you want us to get funded, here's how you can help:

You may have seen some discussion about @frostygamesfest.com in indie circles. We strongly encourage you to look at the wonderful games being showcased and wishlist them if they interest you. The games industry is undergoing a cultural shift, and consumer support is vital to ensuring it lives.

Is it pinned post time? Were You Followed is a female-led indie start-up studio based in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia. We want to explore themes of intimacy and vulnerability in games. Currently, we're seeking funding support for our first title, 'Incarnal'. Excited for the future!

Because we cannot even begin to say how excited we are, we want to unveil some new concept artwork from @sixfoot-ant.bsky.social for our lovely Scorn. Scorn is our posterboy for our romance simulator game, so expect a lot of promotional content for him in the coming months!

An image of an inhuman creature, his torso appears to be made of raw muscle, without skin, but devoid of gore. Bony protrusions emerge from his body as blades and spikes along his chest, arms, and abdomen. Bones descend into a black, skirt-like structure made of shadows and writhing darkness. More shadow emerges from the cage of bones emerging from his back, crowning him in shadow. A violet, searing eye hovers above the swept-back horns of his head, and a second eye glows from his chest.

Hello followers, new and quietly lurking. We are Were You Followed, an indie startup working on a romance simulation game with monstrous lovers. We place the intimacy and relationship front and centre and can't want to show you what we're working on!

Were You Followed @wereyoufollowed.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Were You Followed is delighted to announce that we have received production funding from Screen Australia for this round of funding. We feel so privileged to be among the few selected for this vital financial support, and we are deeply thankful for the opportunity.

An image of an androgynous person carved from marble, with white wings extended to either side. Six monstrous hands reach in from the edge of frame, each clutching a red string attached to the marble figure. The word 'Incarnal' is imposed in the background. The logos for 'Screen Australia' and 'VicScreen' are at the bottom left and right respectively. The words 'Screen Australia Digital Games Production Grant Successful Applicant!' exist on the side.
