TODAY IS NATIONAL PIGEON DAY!! Please take a second to appreciate all that pigeons have done for humans in the past and how we domesticated them only to leave them to the city streets 🐦🌻

A YEAR OF SPRINGS is on sale for pride on steam, itch & google play! (sorry the length of the sale varies for every platform so just check the platform of your choice! 💦) 🎮 ayearofsprings.npckc.net

Pride Month starts tomorrow. I'm going to post this once again.

I made a drawing of Chase Colt from Mistrick! Actually, whenever I hear Malice Mizer's song "Baroque" I think of him, and I think he would wear Visual Kei accessories, So I made some redesigns on his clothes, I really liked it \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/ (Game by @hatoge.itch.io)

Only 2 more weeks until #Transrepjam returns again this year! The optional theme this time is found family ☺️ Come join our low stakes, beginner friendly 2 month long jam all about trans representation in video games, ttrpgs, comics and more! itch.io/jam/trans-re...

💥 JUMP THE TRACK - is OUT NOW 💥 🏃 Save your life 🤝 Rally forces ✊ Overthrow the system Seed by Seed is a game dev cooperative, and we're self-publishing this game, so we truly need your help 💖 youtu.be/ce8VkKx4SVM

I sometimes get comments like "Why is this gay??? Stop making everything gay!" and I find those comments very funny because I imagine the little homophobe being all excited and pumped to play my game & then recoil in shock and horror, when they realize they've accidentally consumed the gay. 😂

You killed your former guild leader when he betrayed you for a cult. Now, a man claiming to be his doppelganger asks for your help. Will you make the same mistakes, or will things be different this time? Our dark boys love visual novel Asphodelium releases in 1 month! 🔪 Wishlist: s.team/a/3139260/

I keep getting this same spam comment over and over on one of my games on @itch.io . I keep banning them, but they just come back with a new account. Anyone else experiencing this? It's really annoying D:

The Trans Representation Jam is returning again this year, running from June 14th to August 31rd! Hope to see you there! itch.io/jam/trans-re... #gamejam #indiedev #transgaming #transrepjam

The nonprofit Japanese Game Preservation Society (JGPS) is running out of money and will have to shut down soon if they can't find a way to raise money. They have been critical in preserving Japanese games. www.timeextension.com/features/we-...

The 1.1 version is now live! Please download this version if you want to play the game 🙏 I fixed a lot of major bugs and improved overall performance. hatoge.itch.io/kanaexe/devl...

A g-drive link to the bug fixed version will be coming in the next few days, so hopefully the game will be more playable afterwards :') but man, I wish I could just update the actual itch file instead of this workaround... that's what I get for focusing too much on visual polish instead of testing 😭

So I found a new bug... 😂 Honestly scarier than the original, maybe I should leave it in /j

oh my god, I just found the reason that caused the main bug people have been getting in kana... I feel so stupid orz also dont understand how it never happened to me during testing, then I could have fixed it 😭 man

For anyone who's missed it, I released a new game! It's a yume nikki inspired 4th wall breaking game 👀 hatoge.itch.io/kanaexe Also big thank you to anyone leaving a rating 🙏 (It doesn't help within the contest, I just like to see number go up 🥺)
