We tried some unusual fonts before settling on Gueules de Loup 2 for our title #font. Fancy name, right? This font is #Elektra. It was fun trying fonts. I have a font problem.

Do you like old radios? We here on the fine ship Ithaca, voyaging to the glorious home planet, sure do love our radios. Old radios. Propaganda radios. Even broken radios.

I don't even want to give context.
Half of what is pictured here is in the #game. The other half is pure fish bait.

This #cup is one of my favorite parts of our #game The Far Rings. Such deep and meaningful symbolism. So much personality.
All it needs now is some googly eyes and a mustache.

A #concept #sketch of Captain Odysseus before he was finalized. I drew him, but I made him look way too young. He looks a -bit- more age-appropriate now :B .

#lineart only height comparison of our two humanoids :) . A big height difference, but what about the size of their personalities? Hm :]

A continuation :B . Chiron's final #design is developed here. is great with animals, fantasy creatures, and drawing anything in general, so she drew our #androgynous #alien #character.

I just shared Athena's #lineart for each part of her #expressions individually. Now is a #charactersheet showing them composed as actual #sprites for the #game!

Hii! If youre following me you probably also like sad war time anime shenanigans and would probably really enjoy this VN that just dropped a few days ago!!

☆ Because We're Here ~Act II~ is out now!! ☆
It's a visual novel that I'd alternatingly summarise as:
- bittersweet WW1-era otome dating sim
- sprawling narrative-driven trench opera
- neat!

I drew #chibi Athena to make a little valentines card for my friends in February! I think she turned out #cute. I feel like hearts are a big motif for her, but maybe in a darker way in our actual #game. :)

We tried a bunch of #fonts for The Far Ring's title before settling on 'Gueules de Loup 2'. These were a few. Do you guys have a favorite from here?

So I've had a ton of pre-wrote/clipped/saved tweet contents to share bits of #development from our #

#RenPy has a very... creative way of handling certain error types. Say hello to 'chiromaster', distant #animegirl #pigtail cousin to our #character Chiron. She's... cute. Right?
Typos during #coding is the worst!

Say hello to Dr. Oink! This little piggy has worked hard helping us out as an important 'placeholder' during a lot of the #coding for our coder . It's from their previous game (on #Steam!) Dr. Frank's Build-a-Boyfriend. 😁

The mug item, from #sketch to final #art. The sketches look plain, but our our artist made them look pretty fancy with some color and a printed design. VERY important time REALLY we PROMISE.

We really needed some beverage containers it was VERY IMPORTANT for our #game. asked the team if we preferred the cans or the mugs. We ended up going for the mugs! The cans look better as #sketches, but mugs seemed to suit the #character more.

After our #gamejam demo, we got some feedback that our only male looked too young and girly, so helped with some ideas.
Who here likes scrubby facial hair?! Isn't it amazing?! Which is your favorite???

This was the first #conceptart for the #character Odysseus in our #visualnovel. I don't know why I (aMira) made it so clean and detailed. It was never going into the #game itself. His design changed a bit for the final #art too.

A #sketch of our #alien #character Chiron in some uh, 'casual clothes', by Chiron's artist hahaha. Chiron and their race are #nonbinary so they are supposed to look pretty #androgynous. What do you think? Haha. This was just-for-fun #conceptart!

A #BehindTheScenes look at our #gamedev #coding. BD Coder Heiden had to use a few 'placeholders' while implementing the #pointandclick elements of the #game, before the #backgroundart was completed.
Little piggy is from a past game of Heiden's, Dr. Frank's Build-a-Boyfriend!

First time uploading #pixelart to Twitter. I hope they take it better than Instagram! These icons were made for that little #game icon next to the file name when it's listed in your folders. It's Athena! :D

The complete #lineart for the #backgroundart of the sleeping pod room! This was done by for us during #GGJ in a flash! The coloring was done later by aMira (me!!) . It looks cool without color too, right?
