Hi! I'm a brand new solo game developer based in Japan but from the U.S. I love narrative-driven games with feeling, especially if they evoke nostalgia and explore themes like childhood, friendship, family, love, loss, gratitude, and hope. Wish me luck!

We're on Obon holiday here, so I have a little extra time to try and pin down the art style for my upcoming Visual novel, currently titled Canvas Hearts: The First Semester. I want it to be sketchy, but expressive.

One More good one I found today just as I'm off to bed. @tinybookshopgame.com by Neoludic is gorgeous and so relaxing. Man, I'm going to go broke if I keep finding upcoming games as good as I found today.

Another one from Nextfest I just played. #Undusted by #5minlab. Amazing artwork again. At first, I wasn't sure if the mechanic would keep my engaged, but by the end of the demo I was just zoning out and loving it.

Have the day off today, so I plan on working on my project and trying out some Nextfest demos! Just played #Anemorie by #InnGamez Studio, a point and click with some minigames. The art was super adorable and really well done. Def one I'll keep an eye on.

I appreciate every video, video game, and other things of media that mention blinking/flashing lights. They make my usually daily migraines so much worse. So, if you're a #gamedeveloper #contentcreator that issues these warning **THANK YOU**. #disabledgamers #migraines

I used to love doing semi-continuous line sketches. It's great practice to really look at something, and it's super fun and relaxing to me. Here's one of William Styron. My game will be in a similar style. I was playing with style last week, and will...

Nice advice. It's easy to get discouraged, but looking back at progress is a great motivator.
If you're ever stuck thinking you're not making it far with your #GameDev. Stop.
Take a moment to look at some of the earlier screenshots and compare. 👀
You'll be surprised just how far you've got. 😤

I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one, but I just have to say how amazing Trello is. I had compared it to Notion a while ago, but ended up going with Notion because it had more features. Mistake. #gamedev #indiedev #sologamedev

I just played the demo for #SushiBen by @dmawdev.bsky.social and it was amazing!
It was so full of little details and humor. I can't wait until September when it releases. The town reminded me of a trip I took to Tomonoura, which is also known as the inspiration for Ponyo. So cute and cozy.
