Our new DELTARUNE launch features everything you might need to cook for yourself and your friends: A cute bento box, a high-definition Kiss the My Ass apron, and a pair of lounge shorts decorated with little angelic Spamtons.

Available now: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

A photo of a DELTARUNE bento box with a cute illustration of Ralsei dressed up as a chef on the lid. The lid is a light orange checkerboard pattern; the box itself is a very light turquoise that's reflected on Ralsei's glasses and frying pan.

A photo of a white apron with the phrase "Kiss the My Ass" on the front in basically the same typeface used in DELTARUNE.

A closeup photo of a pair of black lounge shorts. There's a heart pattern separated by clouds; an illustration of a cherubic Spamton with wings and a halo is lying or sitting on the clouds in various poses.

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, so I hope you'll play my work-in-progress game demo about #Choctaw language and culture:
tomatogame.itch.io/halito-tomato

OR if you'd just rather read about the backstory instead, it would make me very happy:
halito.tomato.game/about/

Thanks for your time! YAKOKE!

From the About page for my game/blog - there's a lot more on this page, so please check it out sometime!

From the game - there's not much to the game right now but the Nanih Waiya burial mound is at the center of it all
