#ButterflySoup2 is out! Please play my characters' 3 hour high school cringe compilation!!! brianna-lei.itch.io/butterfly-soup
I'm so excited Hades 2 got announced that I can't think of a good caption for this. i give up #ButterflySoup2
The actual reason Butterfly Soup 2 came out this year is that my spouse bought me #AINI and wouldn't tell me where they hid it in the house until I finished it. My game was finished with the power of desperation
I finally made a #ButterflySoup2 trailer! Once again featuring the best filmmakers in the business youtu.be/l0DgMViFO84
I'm doing an interest check on Butterfly Soup plushies! If you want me to make these please vote here!

Butterfly Soup 2 lives up to the heartbreak and hilarity of the original, while giving an even more compassionate exploration of teenage life. Our review - rockpapershotgun.com/butterfly-soup

The charms of the gang are here too! I felt bad that Noelle was suffering in her original charm design, so this time she's reading a little book (as a treat)

someone ordered min's nightmare (2 noelles and 1 min) and this is what I imagined their journey through the postal system to be like
my hair grew out so I wanted to update my profile pic! but I have really severe brainworms so I drew myself as a #13Sentinels character
I answered some asks about Butterfly Soup 2 here! (Also, in case twitter goes to heck I figured it'd be a good time to remind everyone I have a very old and dusty tumblr!)

yes I'm definitely planning on restocking it in the future!

hi I've seen this! The answer is long and I can't type everything out right now, but I will answer you!
I MADE A HISTORY MAKER COVER SO BAD THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT SONG IT IS WITHOUT THE OP ON TOP OF IT
I liked Oikawa's intro in the Haikyuu stage play so much that I saved it o|-< his dumb smile at the end was PERFECT
"what do you learn in school? can you make call of duty now" "no, but I can make THIS"

I'm hoping to reopen the merch store (including the jacket) within the next couple months!

oh this is so cute!! I love how you simplified min's shirt

I'm hoping to release it around noon Pacific Time! I'll try to announce a more specific time as the date gets closer
Replying to
I am! I get a pretty overwhelming volume of questions, so rather than answering them all, I'll be cherry-picking commonly-asked ones along with the ones I think are the most fun to answer
Replying to
thank you!!! I tried so hard to dodge spoilers but I already know ryuuki is everyone's special meow meow

I think it's because it conjures up the image of me shaking my spouse by the shoulders ("where is it??" ":)") and then frantically typing on my keyboard in the dark until 4 am while muttering "aiba...do it for her..."
tfw when u idolized a mangaka so hard that YEARS w/out ref later u STILL draw the same facial proportions as them
Replying to
Ohhh my god!!! I'm speechless...blessed crossover.. Thank you...
instead of doing hw I made a style test for a future project?? nani the fuck am i doing
quick study bc i half forgot how to paint. I wish I could pull off this sort of messy-painty look without using a ref!!!
Replying to
congrats!!! 🥳🎉 I hope the whole team is enjoying a very nice nap right now!
oh this is really helpful!! thank you for the lead
my mom saw my brother's phone and GASPED IN HORROR at how girly it was 😂 so proud of my gender norm defying bro

Yes i'm planning on uploading the game's art assets in a few days!
Shimanami Tasogare updated and i'm blown away!! Kamatani's art is so beautiful and the 2nd page almost made me cry

our finished ambitious card of the year!! u can swap out the snowman parts and the message on the inside changes
I got my artist copy of the ZE zine!!! it's really gorgeous, the pics on the promo post didn't do it justice at all
Replying to
Start as small as possible, otherwise you run the risk of never finishing it! My first released game was only 30 minutes long and it was still a massive effort to complete. Good luck!!
my brother and i are 30 minutes into prototyping our annual christmas cards for our parents
i dont know how to talk to people 10 yrs older than me at my sis's baby shower so im just making bibs nonstop
lately I can't tell if the world in general is regressing, or if it's always been this stupid and I just wasn't paying as much attention
Replying to
Yes I am! I'm hoping to reopen the merch store in the next couple months
[baseball game] me: i'm so close to finishing this
me: but wouldn't it be great if the player could get Diya's hand stuck in a salsa jar
I hope someday I can make a game where everyone's dressed practically except the only guy, who wears a speedo bc he breathes thru his skin
I still can't believe someone at UCalgary wrote an academic paper about community reception of Pom Gets Wi-Fi rpgmaker.net/articles/1115/
[baseball game] I just realized the main OT4's initials spell out "DAMN". it's like W.I.T.C.H. but less magical and more angry
GUYS ??? I JUST MAGNIFIED A 200x200 IMAGE TO THIS???? WHY IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT HOW IS THE WORLD STILL CALM
ok here was what I was trying to do. I got tired of long hair so I've come full circle back to short hair again
