Hi everyone :vintypretty:! Without Within 3 comes out in three days, and to prep for that, we have a sale going on: Also, we have a quick Q&A to address some WOWI 3 related items: And, of course, here is Without Within 3's store page: Thank you for your support through the past five years! Hope to see you in Vinty's third (mis)adventure this Friday :excelia:.
I received a message today saying there is a parcel in my PO box, so I dropped by the post office and found this. Massive thank you to Xolf and Marcianek11IX for the surprise gift :bibi:! Recently, I have also been receiving messages from players who have shared their personal struggles with me. They say thank you for the motivation, though really, their stories have inspired me in return. I am…
Hey everyone, The Last Birdling is out :bibi:! Bimonia is one of the last Birdlings alive on this earth. The Birdlings see humans as sworn enemies, and Bimonia has been taught to kill on sight. One day, Bimonia meets Tayo, a human child hunting in the forest. Bimonia fails to kill Tayo, and they instead become friends. Mother will be furious if she finds out, or worse, this relationship may cau…
Hi everyone :bibi:. Just one week to go until The Last Birdling launches on Steam. I hope to have your support there and then! The Last Birdling marks my fifth year not in game development, but at least under the name InvertMouse. I have released a good 5 to 6 titles on Steam now, and they have all taught me valuable lessons. First, there was Unhack 1, which has many immature traits in retrospe…
Hey everyone :lulululu:! I have uploaded The Last Birdling’s soundtrack onto Steam. This soundtrack will be released on September 1st alongside the core game. There are 19 tracks in total, but since some of their names may contain spoilers, let’s leave it at that for now. The Last Birdling’s composer is Efe Tozan. Efe and I have worked together since Cursed Sight, and he is also the composer fo…
Tooaya and I had worked together on Cursed Sight, and here we are this time on The Last Birdling. From day one, Tooaya promised to provide weekly updates, and she had remained consistent from start to finish. While production skills are no doubt important, reliability is a trait that is often overlooked. The Last Birdling had been in production since around 2015. The first thing I sent Tooaya w…
Many years ago, I picked up Mass Effect 1 when it was on sale for about ten bucks. I played through the game and thought yeah, it was okay, then a week later, I found myself on a second playthrough. During this new run, I fell in love with the franchise, and it took me a while to figure out why. It is that damn codex. There are so many entries to read, and honestly, I am not even smart enough t…
Backgrounds are sometimes overlooked when we play visual novels. I for one am guilty of this, so today I would like to, well, I guess you can say repent. When you have multiple illustrators, there is always a chance your art styles will clash. The easiest solution, of course, would be to feature a single artist in your project. In reality, however, other concerns come into play. Schedules, moti…
Hi everyone! I started Persona 5 quite a few weeks ago, and before I even installed the game, I picked up Futaba’s wallpaper from the PSN Store to put myself in that mode. The Persona Mode, I guess. When both players and creators are in on the hype, that is when we have a great time. For instance, I can’t wait for Umaru season two, so I want to retweet messages from the official account, I want…
As we know, The Last Birdling alternates between Bimonia and Tayo’s perspectives. Today, I would like to explore some of the details behind this system. The Last Birdling is written from a first person perspective, so the viewpoint character’s personality will come through in everything she observes. Her inner thoughts, reactions, they are all distinctly her own. On paper, or on screen in our c…
Ever since Unhack 1, I have featured digital artbooks for my Steam releases, and The Last Birdling will be no different. I want to give you a preview today, and I also wish to detail some of the lessons I have learned through the past five years. Above are several pages from Cursed Sight’s artbook. As you can see, the layout is similar to the artbook from Unhack. My websites also share the same…
Hi everyone! The journey is over, and at last, I can announce The Last Birdling’s release date. Here it is: September 1st, 2017! The Last Birdling’s Steam page can now be accessed: Recently, I have started to follow upcoming games that I want to keep on my radar. If you are willing to do the same for The Last Birdling, I would be so grateful. The “follow” and “add to your wishlist” buttons are…
