I’m very happy to make public my sim project, Heartbrush!

Heartbrush is a sim inspired by nearly two decades of pet site gameplay and the creative and artistic communities that develop around them. The central focus of Heartbrush will be facilitating players in creating a core group of original characters for themselves, and giving users a narrative lattice to grow their own stories within a rich fantasy world. 

Gradually develop friendship, romance, rivalry, and more between your own characters, other players, and among the cast of NPCs the game will have to offer, and help influence the course of the story’s progression.

While you will be required to be eighteen years or older to join, tagging and accessibility are on the forefront of our minds as Heartbrush develops, leading to a space for mature themes and controlled viewing to exist side by side without the need to choose between censorship and alienation.

Heartbrush is currently in very early development, focusing on creating art assets for planned features. We’re also working on personal fundraising to keep Heartbrush in the hands of those who have a passion for the browser-based sim and want to see the genre revitalized and innovated. Watch this blog for further updates, ranging from lore to brainstorming sketches to previews of finished assets, feature descriptions, and more!

“Ughhh…”
