Welcome to VaporwaveGothic Studio...
Hi! We're a micro dev team working out of the Midwest US. We're nerds who like games, making games.
Mal is our enthusiastic writer, unenthusiastic programmer, designer, and marketing guy (derogatory).
Lorcan is our musician, lead artist, and resident raccoon.
We're currently working on Hydeaway, a Jekyll-and-Hyde-themed horror adventure game. Watch this space for further developments.
Anya is live and ready to show you everything. Watch her strip, dance, and perform exclusive shows just for you. Interact in real-time and make your fantasies come true.

Hey, we just wanted to let you guys know about an upcoming indie game that we're not making, but might appeal to people who like hydeaway or jjimjilbang: haunted sauna.
It's the 1700s and you're drawing the border between two warring kingdoms to help come to a ceasefire. There's a conspiracy against you, a bunch of strange supernatural phenomena, and "juggling the needs of the locals with your official duties". It looks a bit like Pentiment, but with a later setting and more gameplay.
Beware of the Cartographer is by TohuBohu Games- one of the writers behind event[0] and a French cartoonist. It's got a demo coming out next month, and we're definitely going to keep an eye on it.
Toxic yuri?

So, I'm on a lot of game developer subreddits. The dev of this mermaid cannibalism/corporate management horror game asked for advice on how to get people to click through and play this. People universally started clutching their pearls about "oh no??? cannibalism??? a horror game where you play as the bad guy???"
.... And, uh, I can't speak to the quality of this game, but I told the dev it'd do numbers on Tumblr. Wanna help prove me right?

I'm making a horror game called Mermaids are Seafood
TW: horror, cannibalism
I'm the solo dev and artist of "Mermaids are Seafood", a story-focused psychological horror game. Gamble your blood, upgrade your luck with insider deals, and sew fish tails onto human torsos.
You play as Miya, a worker in a dystopian corporation that sells mermaid meat. Is it okay to eat mermaids? Are they more like fish, or people? You can try to save the mermaids, or maximise shareholder value by finding worse ways to hunt mermaids. There are branching routes and multiple endings, so you can do a full evil playthrough if you want. There's some management gameplay (like Papers Please or Needy Streamer Overload). Some commenters really didn't like the cannibalism themes and questionable morality, so make sure you're ok with that.
My inspirations are Lobotomy Corporation, Path to Nowhere (particularly Cabernet's event), Slay the Princess, Tender is the Flesh (novel), SCP and Severance (Tv).
The game's still in development, so what you see in the Steam page isn't final. The font/UI will be changed, the story is still being edited and gameplay depends on playtest results. Your feedback would be really appreciated <3
About the game dev side of things, this is my 2nd game. My first game was "Your Crown is Mine", which will release in a few months. That one has finished most of its development, and actually is on Kickstarter right now, over 350% funded with a week left. Unlike 'Mermaids', it's a more wholesome game with fantasy romance and a villainess manhwa story. I started making games as a side project ~1 year ago, balancing it with my school studies, which was tiring but really fun :) I think the key is to keep the scope small, so that I can make sure I can ship the game. I started developing 'Mermaids' around September (not full-time though), and it will be done in less than 1 year. If I want to add too much stuff, I'll save it for DLC or other content.
I don't want to spoil the story too much here, so I'll talk about the gameplay a little. I wanted to add more interactions and maybe a stat-raising system, so there's some choices you can make in the fake computer UI. They will affect your stats (and the story) too. It's been difficult to balance the management gameplay and story aspects, not sure if the audiences are different. LobCorp did it well, since I didn't think the visual novel scenes were jarring between the gameplay. I'll have to think and playtest a bit more.
More screenshots/info on the Steam store page. If you're interested, feel free to wishlist the game there. There will be more updates, art and devlogs here soon!!
I love the old timey phrase "you forget yourself". bro that was so impolite like do you even know who you are rn

Friday Funnies!
Discussions of "difficulty" over things like arbitrary or uncommunicated skill lockouts desperately make me wish the Zarf Cruelty Scale was more well-known.
(With reference to this post here.)
The thing you need to understand is that this absolutely would not help, because the "git gud" crowd regard literally everything as a legitimate axis of difficulty. Much of the difficulty-in-games discourse is founded in the idea that the act of playing a game is a form of intellectual combat between the designer and the player, where the designer's goal is to get you to stop playing by any means necessary, and the player wins by continuing to play. A game that's unpleasantly tedious to play is merely "challenging" your tolerance for tedium; doggedly continuing to play in spite of the fact that you're not having any fun thus represents victory. When that particular crowd responds to structural critique by telling you to git gud, they're not misunderstanding you or being disingenuous: in their world, all forms of difficulty in games are ultimately expressions of structural hostility to the act of being played.
The aforementioned Cruelty Scale, for the uninitiated.

I have more than once observed that, in my second character, my faculties seemed sharpened to a point and my spirits more tensely elastic; thus it came about that, where Jekyll perhaps might have succumbed, Hyde rose to the importance of the moment.

Perhaps the solution to the lack of solving of the previous puzzle is a new, harder puzzle

Yesterday's funniest Hydeaway glitch:
Safe turns small and levitates once you open it. 0/10 security, don't buy from PixelSafe Ltd. ever again.
I had to make some capsule art for our Jekyll and Hyde adventure game today in class. Here's what I came up with:

So, Mimpy and Son of Crom on the gamemaker discord have been incredibly helpful, and because of them, I'm now able to set flags in dialogue!!!!!!!
This is a huge game-changer for me, because it means I can ACTUALLY TRUFAX have choices that change something other than what the characters say to each other!
Things like "locked doors that unlock if you have the key", "changing the music mid-conversation", or best of all, "MULTIPLE ENDINGS THAT AREN'T HACKY AND BAD".
Anyway, we're having Fun with Incidental Dialogue:
