Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 Which Resurface catboy is your personal fave?

(they can be yuor 😈 trick... or 🍬 treat)

#halloween2025 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn
An illustration of five young men in various skimpy catboy Halloween costumes. The colors are limited to black, white, and orange, and each character is wearing large over-sized paws, fake cat ears, and a tail, while their midriffs are exposed. In order, the three young men standing in the back have a serious, a silly, and an embarrassed expression. The two kneeling in the foreground look happy and smug respectively.

Happy Friday, bluesky! 🎉 Before the weekend arrives, we're posting this small sneak peek of a little comic in the making.

Seems like it's Angel's turn to get some love this time, so look forward to seeing the full comic soon! 👀

A black and white sketch of two men side by side, with "WIP" labeled over it. The taller man, Angel, is in profile, while the shorter man has his back turned and his face is not visible.

Our artist is tackling the CG illustrations currently, but they still made time to draw this adorable sketch of Godfrey!

Truly a beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure... 🦆💜

A colored sketch of a young man looking at a waddling of baby ducklings. He has dark brown skin, purplish hair, and bright blue eyes. The ducklings are calm, sitting down or looking up at him, and he's looking down at them, smiling peacefully.

Whoa, thanks for getting us to 70 followers! We're super excited to show more about our game! 😊

Today we're giving Cato some more love! We have this amazing piece, drawn by a friend of our studio!💖✨
It's like his eyes can see right through you...

Following last week's Cato art, today it's Godfrey's turn to get some love!

Together with his pal Gobfrey, his cuteness levels are off the charts! 🐳❤️

A half-body sketch of a young man carrying a giant, blue whale plushie on his back. He has dark brown skin, bright blue eyes, and is smiling happily while clutching the plushie with his arms thrown backwards.

It's been a while since the love interests had some time to shine, so today we have a beautiful illustration of Cato to share! ⭐

As always, he's ever the moody and mysterious one...

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #yaoi #resurfacevn
A waist-up illustration of a young man. His back is facing the camera and his face is in shadowed in profile. He has horns on his head which fold back against his skull, and his ears are pointed. It's impossible to make out his expression from this angle. A close-up of the same illustration, this time zoomed in closer to his face.

Aaand Botein's sprites are now finished!

Botein is much more open about her motivations than someone like Rasalas, but she's definitely not going to make things easy for poor Misha.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn
A visual novel-style sprite of a young woman. She's wearing a loose-fitting blue and yellow shirt. Her ears are pointed, and she has bright green eyes and short, red horns which protrude upwards. Her expression is neutral and her right hand is clasped to her chest.

Another set of sprites finished! 🥳 Happy Friday!

Our mysterious lady goes by the name Rasalas, and she's quite hard to get a read on. One thing's for sure, though—she definitely has her own objective.

Another #WIPWednesday, another sprite in the works! 🌟

This time our artist is working on sprites for Botein, another character who might stand in Misha's way—depending on the route you choose, of course...

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn
A work-in-progress sketch of a visual novel-style sprite, this time of a young woman. She's slightly chubby, with short, stubby red horns on top of her head. Her eyes are green and her ears are pointed, and she has a neutral expression. Her shirt is a dark, mustard yellow with blue trim and hangs loose over her arms.

Happy #WIPWednesday bluesky!

Another character sprite is in the works, but it's hard to tell just yet whether she'll be a friend or foe to our protagonist Misha...

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn
A work-in-progress sketch of a visual novel-style sprite. The sprite is of a young woman. She has pale skin, long brown hair, and horns on her head which are folded back close to the skull. Her hands are gently folded in front of her and her expression seems somewhat coy.

Happy Friday, bluesky! 🥳 Lyr's sprites are officially finished!

She and Kaus in particular seem to have some sort of special connection, but you'll have to go through the different routes for yourself to discover what that is.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #resurfacevn
A visual novel-style sprite for a young woman. Her left hand is raised, fingers curled, and she has a determined expression. She has dark brown skin, green-and-brown hair, green eyes, and green horns on her head which point directly up.

With his sprite officially finished, meet Kaus: a dangerous force standing in Misha's way no matter which route you pursue.

His grudge against Misha seems to have some deeper meaning behind it, but as for what that is...

A visual novel-style sprite of a young man. He has a dark skin tone, is dressed in a loose-fitting blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trim, and has pointed ears and horns on his head which point straight up.

It's not Wednesday, but we do have another WIP to share!

Meet Lyr, another mysterious face. You can count on seeing more of her in Cato's route, but who knows what the past between them is really like...?

Time for another #WIPWednesday! Our artist is hard at work on the sprites for Kaus, a character who may prove to be a bit of an obstacle for our protagonist, Misha...

We maaay have teased a little bit, and our mystery character from last week isn't actually wearing anything at all! 🤭

You might even be in for a few more surprises when running into them in-game, so keep an eye out for them!
