Solo game dev/writer. Current project: It's 2274. Solarpunk utopia? Happening. Everyone is gay, probably? A heartbroken himbo, a depressed painter, and a lonely nerd must transport precious cargo across a vast wilderness. And... talk about their feelings.

I got to playtest some scenes with this cutie on Saturday! 11/10 would die for him

interested in learning about how we developed the art for this scamp (who's a very cool client you can sell body mods to in our upcoming game 'Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced')?

check out our devlog! (it has lots of fun concept art)

You're so welcome! Love your work.

Okay so yes this is a perfect game; the pacing is flawless, the visuals are SO GOOD, and it makes flamboyant supervillains (even more) relatable. But I came here to talk about the soundtrack, which is that deedely-deedely retro game style that I don't know the name of, and every track is a *banger.*

👑 What does a SUPERVILLAIN do, when he is forbidden from doing anything evil for the day? 👑

I made a game. It's a visual novel, it's not even 1h long, it's FREE.

Please welcome "this game will end in 205 clicks." 👑😈✨

I was super honored to playtest this VN and it's so so so good! You can play the demo and wishlist it, it will be fun!

we're currently working on Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced, a cyberpunk vn about talking to people and hating capitalism
if that sounds interesting, it would be really cool if you could give us a wishlist on Steam 💛

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

Keep it up
