The Fan Art Contest is over and we got some amazing entries! It was really hard to pick a winner! We absolutely adored each and every entry and everyone was so creative with what they submitted.
The Winner!!!
Ray by Vox Vulpi
Vox Vulpi did a great job with Ray, and we loved how she incorporated flower language! This is what she had to say about her entry on Steam:
Ever have an image you have to have an intervention with yourself to stop messing with it? *L* I think it came out OK though ❤
The flowers were chosen based on their meaning – Carl would approve (although Ray would not approve of Carl approving *L*)
Tansy (the yellow one) – Harsh thoughts, a declaration of war Sweet Briar Rose (the pink one) – Being wounded
Anyhoo, I love Pinewood. And while I was looking up references for this, I realized the sprite work I loved was even more amazing than I thought. Looking at it more closely I noticed a lot of small detail added to Ray to indicate his lifestyle – SO GOOD!
People are playing and talking about In Blood! It’s really cool to see other people experience a game we have been working so hard on, so we thought we’d share some of the links we’ve managed to collect of people talking about the game, or playing it. We’re really thankful so many people have helped us promote so check them and their content out!!
We are holding a Fan Art contest during the Kickstarter month! We’d love to see any of your artistic impressions of our characters, regardless of skill/art experience! Prizes will be awarded to the winner, and if enough people participate we will have runner-up prizes as well.

A group of students, their Professor and his T.A. arrive on a secluded island for a 4 week long science program. The plan is to study the natural flora on the island while earning double the credit.
This is interrupted when the Professor is killed after an impromptu beach party. When they try to call for help they find that the phones do not work. There is no boat, and no way to contact the mainland.
A charter boat isn’t set to arrive for them until the 4 weeks are over.
You must decide where to focus your energy, and who to focus it on. Mistakes can be deadly.
Some of the students start to crack under the pressure. Try to survive and solve the murder while potentially indulging in romance.
A press-kit is something that a lot of indie developers do, in fact it is something a lot of businesses do. It is basically a tidy way to package information that you would like to announce, and then give to ‘press’. There are a ton of amazing resources out there about press-kits, but, if you have no idea what they are or why you should bother this post will be for you!

I’m happy to announce an upcoming mobile game: End Of Summer!
The Story:
A lot of bad things happen at once, and you find yourself trying to take control of a life that has run off without you. While trying to piece everything back together again you receive news that an obscure relative has died, and that they left you an old rundown house. With nothing better to do you pack up what’s left of your life and head out to the tiniest backwoods place you’ve ever set eyes on. Home to more churches than stop signs, and hotter than hell, you try to make this weird nosy new place your home.
Soon work on the house will end, and then you’ll need to make up your mind; will you stay in this town, or will you take to the road again?
And will one of the four people you’ve become acquainted with sway your decision?
I recently did an otome survey! I had 84 replies! I knew I would get a smaller response since I mostly focused on asking my twitter audience and some of the otomedev discord devs asked their respective audiences. I purposely avoided the otome reddit, since they swing heavily towards traditional Japanese otome games and I wanted players who wanted/played oelvns.
