Just a silly chart I made for my own amusement a while ago heheh. Of course the boys can bleed into other categories...and it all really depends on what choices you make and what route you go down......you good, Ham?? #otome #otomegame #superheroes

Today is special. Not just because it's Peter's birthday but because today marks the 10 year anniversary of when we came up with the idea for Band Camp Boyfriend! I'll never forget that evening and I'm so happy that we were able to release the game in the end.

Once in a while I should post the fan sketches I make of otomes I played (indies as well)

These are characters from band camp boyfriend by @lovebirdgames.bsky.social
The game is very dear to my marching band heart

I met the devs this past Otakon and they were very awesome!

I got some stickers to hand out at Otakon! 🥰 They’re so cute, I’m in love…

I aim to attend the otome photoshoot and panel to be among my people. Keep an eye out for Twilight Princess Zelda and come get yourself a band camp boyfriend. :)

I have a Pikmin Bloom addiction and I am currently SCREAMING that they included French horn in this month’s band series and it’s with my favorite color Pikmin. I will get all these Pikmin and name them after BCB characters if it’s the last thing I do!! 🎺

Okay maybe more like the MONTH of Hammerhead, I'm moving slow. 😭 But I'm positive I will be finished up and onto the next route in time for the July Quarterly Update! 🦈🌊🔫

Lovebird Game Studios @lovebirdgames.bsky.social · May 12

Shark Week came early!🦈I'm calling this the Week of Hammerhead and doing a read-through of his route. My goals:

✅Add more choices
🖼️Write down CG ideas
📸More flashbacks
💔Pump up the endings & remove the mini bad end, giving more impact to the big bad end
⏫20% more ADHD

Let's gooo! #otome #gamedev
