“Baffling whimsy!”

✦ Indie Game Studio ✦ Projects Coming Soon ✦

https://linktr.ee/darlingblackhole
Pinned
Our studio aims to make cozy games and horror/thriller twists with a certain vibe we call "baffling whimsy!" After seeing so many games with emotional impact—lots of love, sadness, anger—we want to be the space in between those games, the downtime for players to recharge and laugh at absurdity.
Speaking of Halloween, some of our devs recently participated in ScreamJam 2025! Please show them love and support for their hard work! sonoleft.itch.io/hallowsbells

Stay tuned for our spookier, bigger projects~

It's been a while, but we wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Remember to stay safe out there. Stick with your friends, break the candy before biting it, carry at least a flashlight, and let someone else know your location in case of emergencies.

Still a good bit of edge case testing to go - but joining a game that's already in progress is technically working!! #kyoukai #indiegamedev #godot

Big swath of icons today - rooms now show their status clearly, and a toggle to allow watchers in your room has been added too! If a no-watchers room has two players seated, it disappears from the room list. #kyoukai #indiegamedev

A watcher in Kyoukai shows a full understandable game state by just receiving packets with minimal allowed inputs. How did I not realize that very watcher mode is simply all a replay needs to be? Holy crap I think kyoukai's problem list is CLEARED!

Btw if you wanna hire me for commission stuff ($35-150 range) or just want to give me a tip for being so awesome, I could always use the help. I'm saving up right now to move up the coast and I need all the help I can get!

It's #ScreenshotSaturday again!
Our programmers try to obey the laws of physics when they can. Sometimes, it's less of an option than it seems...

Heads up, we've opened a public Discord server! We want to have a space where cozy gamers can mingle, find new games, and make friends. We'll also share our progress in real-time, and other game devs can share their projects too!

Concepts from Miciomostro (@miciomostro.bsky.social)! I wonder why we would need such a creature in a treasure-collecting game...?

Game-dev-ing and creating can be hard. Don't forget to take a break sometimes! Get water, stretch, eat snacks, and stare into the deep, endless Void to contemplate your own existence!
