One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Thank you for the incredible announcement day everyone. 🖤
The wishlists are so much higher than I dared to hope for that I'm scared to even trust the number.
I'm looking forward to sharing more information and teasers about Grave Regrets soon!

I'm realizing now it probably wasn't the smartest move to start our announcement trailer with a black screen since videos don't autoplay on the bsky browser. #indiegame
So to those who are too lazy to click, here's the summary:

After years of working on the same project, I can't believe it's about to finally be announced and "out there".
I aim to keep the momentum going, which means the real work begins tomorrow.
Let's look forward to it together 💪

The Steam store page for my cute yuri visual novel, Café of Roses, is now up!
It's a short slice of life romance story about a young woman and a mysterious maid.
Sparks fly, and Meike wonders. Why does this maid look so familiar...?

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TILL OUR OFFICIAL GAME ANNOUNCEMENT.
Instead of posting another silly GIF, here's a little teaser. The signal’s still a bit scrambled… but it’s getting stronger.

You don't think we could hit 500 before our page goes live, do you?
