I've been having some vivid dreams lately and I've been enjoying trying to draw what I remember #sketch

We have new merch! In addition to the limited-time items offered during Wholesome Direct, we now have a year-round shop thanks to @serenityforge.com! We're kicking things off with this new Gashapon design by @saffronaurora.bsky.social. Please look forward to even more items in the future!

I love this, I want to see how more artists draw themselves!! It's also fun seeing how much (or how little) the way I draw myself has evolved over the years #art

Capy Castaway is joining #WholesomeDirect 2025! ✨ Thank you @wholesomegames.com for including our cozy narrative adventure game in this year's direct, we CAN'T WAIT to share what we've been working on! #GameDev #IndieGames

WAHOO!! It's that time of year again! 🥳 This year's theme is meant to evoke an uplifting spirit in bluer skies. 💙 I had a lot of fun worldbuilding this one, and I'm also excited to say that we'll be showing some NEW CONTENT in the direct this year so STAY TUNED 👀 🍊🌟 #gamedev #wholesomedirect

I am one of the affected members of the team. If you or anyone you know is looking for an experienced game/level designer, please let me know. 💔

If you have or know of any opportunities looking to hire excellent people, I can strongly recommend any of these folks I have had the pleasure to work with 🧡
