Roll call! If you're a visual novel dev/artist/writer/creator, would love if it folks retweeted and introduce yourselves in the replies or quotes. ✨ As more people move onto 🟦☁️ I think it'll help everyone try to get their footing and know who to follow. #visualnovel #indiegame

"We are each artificially born within a pod...we only emerge for the first time once fully matured. There is no need for those still developing to be outside of their pod. Their incomplete brains would only be a hindrance."

Today's #WIPSnips word is "outside"! From our WIP vn, Alien Incrementum!

Screenshot of Alien Incrementum, where Alien talks to Margot in Adrianne's living room, late at night. Alien says, "There is no need for those still developing to be outside of their pod. Their incomplete brains would only be a hindrance."

Here's a blast from the past!

Below are the thumbnail sketches for Alien Incrementum's opening CGs! We start our visual novel off with a BANG, to say the least!

You can see the fully-realized CGs in the current build of our game!

Two thumbnail sketches of Alien Incrementum's opening CGs. It is entitled: "Alien Incrementum: Selfie Time" and the first panel features Adri and Margot taking a picture. The second panel has them looking concerned as something falls out of the sky behind them.

Adrianne and Margot look scared as something giant crashes behind them!

"The sky grew gross and dreary as the day went on, culminating into full-on rain. Yuck. Now, I stand outside of the Sea Stag under its faded awning. Thin waterfalls splat into gray puddles all around me."

From our WIP #visualnovel, Alien Incrementum!

Tea for Two took a short break from polishing up Alien Inc (which, btw, is almost ready for playtesting!) to participate in #O2A2 Jam!

Sometimes you need to take a break from focusing on the tol guy to make a smol guy!

I finally got my website built! There's still some minor changes I'd like to make here and there, and probably some other changes as I learn what I messed up, but I'm very happy with it thus far!

Here's an even better look at our fawn friend! We designed him with a watercolor-look in mind; he's a Painted Deer, after all!

Painted Deer are endemic to Merrowlook Isle and have evolved to drink brackish water! They were inspired by the real life Chincoteague ponies.

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a new screenshot from Alien Incrementum as we continue development on our newest, biggest update!

Al's fawn friend officially has his own sprite! 🦌 So cute! The deer who live in the Painted Deep forest are said to be magical; what could this chance encounter mean?

Margot and Alien interact with a baby deer.

Guys, I think we're cooking with the new script additions. 🍳🥘🧑‍🍳
