We are a small women-led indie studio making emotionally engaging games for queer and female audiences. And we may or may not be working on a beloved gothic romance adaptation right now

Copying from our IG page, here are our (kind of joking kind of not) New Year's Resolutions as an Indie Studio:
- Be demure and mindful with the scope
- Unclutter mechanics that don’t spark joy
- Find the fun(ding)

Idk... it seems to me there is something planted here

Now "morally grey" would fall into the Nice or Naughty list? Asking for a friend.

for some tasks like writing I prefer silence, but if if is a more visual or repetitive one I choose the one song that is working for me and play it on repeat (like a psycho?)

sounds like something from the William Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive

Citizen Sleeper is such a gem, it is a huge inspiration for our games

we are not there yet (still working on our demo) but maybe you can follow us?

ok, thank you for the controllers, we will take it from here

wait, do you have spies on our studio?

playing decision based games is always like "Is this fun or a constant dread of making choices that will forever compromise my chances of romancing the character I want?"

oh this gives me some good nostalgic anxiety

I can already hear the voice or the rushed

serious questions: what is a socially acceptable number of Zelda songs I can add to a shared Christmas playlist?

02.12.2024 22:42 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

yeah I think so too, Life is Strange takes that so serious and makes it such a visceral moment that it lingers with you through the whole game and makes the ending choice even more impactful

do not flirt with her

I mean can you even consider yourself a real witch if you never wanted to live in a pumpkin cottage?

Romance is a big deal for us and we were talking of how the tropes go in video games.

Do you think the Meet Cute is important in games? Like that special moment when the two main characters meet, ex. Max and Chloe or Rinoa and Squall?

that seems like A LOT! whenever our game is out there, if you choose to feature us, you can use our descriptions don't worry

Venba uses cooking as story driver in a really cool way

So, our game has this strong component of romance (not a dating sim) but it is really dark and dangerous. Now where should we draw the line here? What is too dark for romance?

PS. We tried to find the answer on booktok and it didn't help.

Ok, so we have this cursed ship idea that we MUST post on all our social channels, here it goes:

KraDOS - Kratos and GLaDOS

He lets her call him daddy. She lied about his cake, though.

Hey there @bsky.app!

We were told that if we came here and said we are an indie studio making romancy queer games you'd give us fame and fortune and - most important - followers.

So... yeah, what's up?
