When the Moon Blooms Prologue Demo Out Now!

Play the Demo Prologue now! A demo with the full gameplay loop is currently in development.

Was buying a one-way ticket on the next spaceflight to the moon after receiving a call from the moon a mistake? Maybe.

Was betting your grandma's farm and your childhood sanctuary against an intergalactic megacorporation to prove a point also a mistake? Also maybe.

But you did it. And now you're here at Crescent Vale, with just a year to prepare for the community's long-forgotten Lunar Bloom festival. 

Crescent Vale was once a bustling settlement, the first in its galaxy, but centuries of expansion have left it behind. Nonetheless, there is magic here; In the land, and practiced by the few but colourful residents of the community. It's the perfect place to start a new chapter of your grandma's legacy, but more importantly, a new beginning for you.

When the Moon Blooms is an upcoming visual novel stat-raising hybrid game, inspired by farming mechanics found in beloved games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, and interactive narratives like Tokimeki Memorial.

Alberto Mielgo study of my spidersona (but it's basically a self portrait snksnskns)

Had so much fun playing around with textures and learning how to use the lasso tool, I'll definitely be applying more of this technique to future pieces!

Here's a fun little video of the process, sort of? Because I worked on this on and off for a week so the procreate replay is absurdly long lol.

I already posted this on my other socials but keep on forgetting to post it on here and twitter whoopsie. But here's my spidersona aka my excuse to draw myself interacting with Miguel O'Hara alksdjgklasgd

Pick between a nerdy shy guy, an emo demi boy, or a charismatic (kinda evil but only a little bit) girl and do your best to be their friend.. and potentially more 😳 (plus a non-romanceable character for a friendship/group ending!)

FORGOT TO POST THIS ON HERE BUT IT’S STILL HIS BIRTHDAY SO IT COUNTS LOL. Happiest of birthdays to Oikawa Tooru, my first love from hq!!

This is actually a redraw of two previous birthday pieces I did in 2014 & 2015, I’d like to think I can capture his playfulness a little better now :D

[craboozled]

I don’t think I ever posted this here, but I had this up on my twitter before I restarted it and thought this was the perfect time to repost it. Happy Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes announcement!

Inspired by the original version by millionfish here!

Finally got around to drawing Cove from @gb-patch’s Our Life: Beginnings and Always. I've been playing this game for the past two weeks and it has given me so much comfort and joy, and I wanted to express that in this piece ;_;

ALSO WOW long time no post on tumblr. I’m a little more active on my twitter, but I still have a soft spot for this platform despite all that’s happened. Anyway, just thought it’d be a good idea to cross-post this here!
