I’ve seen comments on our Red Kiss trailer posted on various platforms claiming our animation is #AI. Just wanted to clarify that all the frame by frame #animation was done by hand and the in-game shots are Live2D. We don’t use genAI @wispfire.com, not a second of that trailer contains AI. #indiedev

Throwback to the first design I did for Red Kiss, astutely called vampdaddy.png. Somehow "Daddy" didn't change much at all, just more refined and a sharper fashion sense.

Some #indiedev advice. If the industry makes you feel you have to constantly keep talking about the new best thing you’re working on. Don’t! Your old games, even if they’re 20 years old, are still unknown gems to many. Your works, all of them, deserve to be seen well after the launch buzz dies down!

Been writing and thinking about games a lot more than usual this year and it’s become apparent that the game industry’s ills are being conflated with the ill fortune of games media and it’s important to separate the two.

On one hand, squashing bugs for Herald's release was a huge pain. On the other hand, doing it gave us the excuse to put together an entire folder of bloopers like this one. Unfortunately, we had to axe non-Euclidean Tabatha for the final release.

Characters in the world of Herald will react to you truthfully, and they won't forget what you've done -- for good or for ill. You won't be able to make everyone happy, and you'll have to make your peace with that.

When we say your choices in Herald matter, we mean it. This is a mockup flowchart of *one* short conversation, and though we had to zoom out so far it's unreadable, you can see how dialogue changes not just based on your responses, but by previous choices you've made.

It's awful to think about how many great artists we lost because of grifters harassing them into leaving. Many talented people I know left the industry because they don't feel safe or welcome anymore. Can't blame them for leaving a toxic environment, they deserved so much better though. #indiedev
