Cow Children

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

Trans Theft Horso won the Most Amazing Game Award at A MAZE Games and Playful Media 2026!

It is now a colourful, award-winning, non-binary western adventure about pursuing gender gladness!

Wowee. It's been a while since I updated this devlog! I'm just writing to let you know that the Steam store page for Acts III and IV of WW1-themed otome VN Because We're Here is now live! Wishlists are appreciated. You can find it here!

I wrote a general state-of-the-union blog post on Steam a little while ago, which also covered how Acts III and IV are being combined into one release - here's the relevant section:

I also want to say that I've decided to combine Acts III and IV into one release - primarily because they felt like very much a two-parter, and I didn't want to risk another long pause between them! But also, Act II was always going to be the longest act, so if people had been expecting something that rivalled or exceeded Act II in length then they may have been disappointed when a solo Act III came out. So 'Act III and Act IV' is going to be a single game, of comparable length to Act II! The story's still four acts - just now told via three releases.

And some cool news is that it's going to be a 2026 release!

(It'll be for sale on Itch too, as per, but the gamepage for that one won't be live until the game's out.)

In other news, Because We're Here Acts I and II are each 40% off for the next few days, as part of the Steam Otome Games Celebration organised by Crystal Game Works.

I hope you're all doing well. I'll be back onto this devlog with much more regularity in the coming months. ^^

In the meantime, did you know BWH has a mailing list? I'm about to send out the very first newsletter, ha. That's a pretty good way to have all major developments appear spontaneously and conveniently in your inbox, if you're worried about missing stuff on social media~
