Yurushi is our player character. Zen, reserved, and cool as ice - she is the latest innovation in the Coalition's arsenal, designed by Drake Heavy Industries to cement their power over the ruined Earth. #art #digitalart #mecha #robotgirl #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

Now it's Harper's turn to have a picture for the music video of "We Could Just Be Annoying!" :D

I decided to draw xer with a guitar, specifically the guitar that technically doesn't belong to xer, because who WOULDN'T want to get their hands on their idol's stuff? :3

Getting more people rating the game 💕If you enjoy some dark creepy game about a girl’s nightmares, you will enjoy Death Dream. Specially the parts where the darkness actually jump scares you…

been deep in the #writing cave

have spent longer editing the verbiage for a choice than I have on the entire preceding chapter😂🔀

not very glamorous for social media (when I refuse to market with spoilers) but critical when making a #visualnovel to give the script the love and care it needs!!!✍️🔥
