STATE OF PLAY 12/23: a little news and updates roundup!
Howdy all! Squeaking in just before the new year, I thought now’s as good a time as ever for a little roundup of anything you might have missed, and what we’re currently working on! Aiming to do these quarterly from now on 🫡✨
If you wanna keep up with posts like this from us without relying on social media, you can also sub to our newsletter! Promise not to annoy you. Good emails only.
This year I want to celebrate one of the first ace characters I ever made, Koe from DemiDato (the siren on the left!) Her game might have only released this year, but I created her right when I was still figuring everything out (and so is she).

I even had to rewrite some of her section of the game a couple times over the years, as I understood more of myself, and more about her own experience that mirrored my own. 💜 She might not be perfect rep, but who is, and I’m so proud of her. We’ve both come so far ;w;

And guess what!! You can pick up the game she’s in during Ace Week in a special bundle to support a whole bunch of queer creators, including me!! ✨ (It’s also spookily good value 🎃)
…or maybe just treat, because guess what, our game DemiDato is featured in the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle this year!🎃
Now’s your chance to star in a goofy, cheesy love letter to trash TV 🎬✨It’s the perfect season for it - and all 12 of its dateable monsters LOVE this time of year (it sorta comes with the territory)
IT’S TIME TO: 🌙 read a cosy, safe, queer story 🐈 hear what it’s like to grow old for two queer demihumans 🍓 make your wife happy with a cooking minigame
Grand-Nya is a short, cosy game about Aysu the moonlight vampire and Hinako her catgirl wife 🐈 Sit in a warm afternoon with them, reminisce about old stories, and help Aysu make the perfect snack that’s just what her wife is craving - it’s random every time you play! 🍓
She is a moonlight vampire with a laid back exterior, who might be just a little tightly wound and anxious on the inside. While she can’t exactly sunbathe anymore, her wife Hina radiates more than enough light for the both of them.
Even though she can’t eat anymore, she still does all the cooking.
You can meet her and her wife when Grand-Nya releases on June 30th!
She’s feisty, outgoing, and maybe a little contrarian - the sun to her wife Aysu’s moon. Hina has many little kittens in her army of grandchildren and is more than happy to add you to the list, if you need a little smothering!
Hinako also loves food, but is banned from the kitchen by everyone who knows her (in case of cat-astrophe).
You can meet her and her wife when Grand-Nya releases on June 30th!
Grand-Nya is the first game I’ve ever made with my own art!
yes in-lore a kid drew this but also it IS basically my skill level
I’m a self-taught graphic designer, but I’ve only recently gotten to a stage where I can doodle something sort of resembling a person, so I decided now would be when I tried to solo art for a jam! It was hard. I don’t really have the skills for this 😂 but I still really like how they turned out!!
Here’s some progress shots:
pov you stole the cookies from the cookie jar and grandma noticed
and their final sprites in game:
It was really fun to get to design the characters myself, and then theme the entire UI around their colours! but after the jam I will need to nap for 8 years please thank you
