Title art for the game Sugarplum Cafe, with the name in large curly letters. Two ladies, Lady Milk Chocolate and Lady Vanilla, sit at a table having afternoon tea. In the background, they are surrounded by desserts. Screenshot of a game set in a cafe, with a currency counter on the top right and a cameo-shaped UI on the top left. Next to the cameo, some text reads "Collect 6 Cameos." The walls are white with pastel pink and teal color accents and gold filigree. In the foreground, three customers (one wearing vanilla, one wearing chocolate, and one wearing strawberry) have speech bubbles over their heads indicating what desserts they would like to order. In the bottom right corner, there is a grid with some desserts. There is also a display window in the background with more desserts. An elegant tearoom with baby pink curtains and large windows showing a pastel gradient backdrop. In the foreground, three tables with off-white tablecloths seat three pairs of characters, each pair having a tea party. From left to right: Jasmine and Lemon Madeline, Lady Strawberry and Lady Mint, and Lady Lemon and Lady Lime. The cafe is empty save for a dialogue bubble, with Lady Vanilla in the foreground. The text in the bubble reads, "LADY VANILLA: Ah, you must be the new owner. Nice to meet you!" There are two filigreed buttons in the corner, one to view past dialogues and one to skip the conversation.

SURPRISE IT'S DONE.

Honestly this ended up being a diss-track to everyone, everyone catches strays in this one. Cara, artfol, deviantart, artstation, Bluesky, facebook, youtube, patreon, gumroad, -

you get the picture, it's long, but it does end on a hopeful note.

this is my magnum opus rant

Hi, #PitchYaGame!

Puzzle Spy International is a '60s spy adventure where you travel the world, chat with (& flirt with!) contacts, and solve substantial thinky puzzles involving wordplay, logic & rules discovery.

A standalone demo is on Steam at s.team/a/3406690 and on itch.io.

#puzzleGame #VN
In this screenshot from Puzzle Spy International: Demo & Prelude, Agent Epsilon - dark skin, short dark hair, serious expression, in a teal and charcoal mod dress - is listening to detective Ewan Danger - chiseled features, blonde hair, 5-o'clock shadow, vest and tie and trench-coat. They're in London, standing in front of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the new Scotland Yard (yes, they really are all right on the same block together, or at least were in the mid-60s.) Danger is saying "We've positively identified them as Hammer and sickle. They're two 'obfuskoperatives' who work for the Soviet Cypher Force." A puzzle with a bunch of clues at the top and 26 baggage tags at the bottom. The tags are from the '60s, back when each airport had its own colors and graphic elements on the tags, they didn't all look the same like they do now. The baggage tags are in disarray, as a player has already moved many of them around. Covering up some of the clues is a modal showing hints for the puzzle. The hints read "hint 1: There's something wrong with each one of these sentences" and "hint 2: There are places where letters are missing, but thanks to the baggage tags, we have extra letters!" A scene in a cafe. It's simplified, retro art with just a few colors, mostly browns, purples and tans. Several people sit at tables, and most of them are looking at you. Each person has a box to fill in next to them. There are hints on the left - for example, "Embarek is reading" and "Aloui and Bakhti hate each other and sit in opposite corners as far apart as possible" - but in this screenshot, some of the hints are in fake Latin. You'll have to eventually buy the game to see the real clues and find your contact in this cafe. Agent Epsilon is confronted by Stefania Plinth, who is agrily gesturing and saying "Those diavoli! They broke in here and stole the Eswatini Giant!" Both women are in 60s outfits, Epsilon in a teal mod short-sleeved dress and Stefania in a blue and cream dress with a wide collar and double-breaster buttons up the front. She's got cats-eye glasses and her hair is in a tight bun. Both are standing in the geology museum, with display cases of rocks, framed phots of how plate tectonics work, and a T-rex skeleton in the back. The scene is purple and gold and the whole thing is drawn in a mid-century modern art style.

Screenshot of a game set in a cafe, with a currency counter on the top right and a cameo-shaped UI on the top left. Next to the cameo, some text reads "Collect 6 Cameos." The walls are white with pastel pink and teal color accents and gold filigree. In the foreground, three customers (one wearing vanilla, one wearing chocolate, and one wearing strawberry pink) have speech bubbles over their heads indicating what desserts they would like to order. In the bottom right corner, there is a grid with some desserts. There is also a display window in the background. A popup graphic appears in front of a cafe game screenshot, featuring a lady wearing pink. There is filigree around the graphic in the shape of the word "Meet", and there is text within the graphic that reads: "LADY STRAWBERRY. "Anything for the aesthetic!" You've received a new Cameo! Strawberry Madelines will now visit regularly!" The cafe is empty save for a dialogue bubble, with Lady Vanilla in the foreground. The text in the bubble reads, "LADY VANILLA: Ah, you must be the new owner. Nice to meet you!" There are two filigreed buttons in the corner, one to view past dialogues and one to skip the conversation. A shop popup in a cafe game. The cafe is faded out in the background and the shop popup is surrounded by aesthetic filigree. The shop consists of a grid of squares, each with an item for sale. Some of the items are not buyable yet, indicated by their faded color and text in front that explains how to unlock the items.

#SugarplumCafe UI is getting an upgrade!

This corner used to only track a collectathon element, but now it also shows all quests and tasks you receive. Hoping this helps guide players better and makes game progression easier!

Madelines are schoolgirls who wear uniforms inspired by the shell-like madeleines. They're some of the guests you’ll meet in #SugarplumCafe, my ~aesthetic~ cafe game!

Here are some of the flavors I've revealed so far!
