I wanna join the server

Hey there! I’ve read about every niloy fic AO3 has to offer and I still crave more- so when I read ‘I’ll believe in anything’ and you offered to let people join the Discord server I thought I’d give it a shot? If you don’t accept any more members though, I understand!

go ahead and DM me and we can talk!! :) -kittleskittle

From all of us to all of you, sending all our love! 💘

We couldn't be more proud and more excited to be making this project for these characters we love so dearly, and for all of you who love them too.

We at Focus on the Heart know and understand the importance of queer stories and voices. We’re throwing our love and support behind our queer heroine, no matter which path players follow. 💖🌈

We've got an exciting announcement coming soon! Keep an eye on our socials 👀

listen. i know this is a very silly concept, but like any good art student i've been studying the work of Andrew Loomis extensively lately, especially his magazine/ad paintings, because i have a serious soft spot for that chunky dreamy vintage oil style and want to bring elements of it into my own work. sooo i decided to have some fun and make a 1940s style travel ad with the blorbos! (aaaand now i'm tempted to do the same with other characters and places...)

#this is my favorite painting ive ever done tbh #theyre so cute

a moment of respite.

#dont mind me just rbing some of my faves

i've had people ask, so here's my policy on use of my personal fandom work:

Please DO: use my unaltered art or photomodes for personal socmed! this includes pfps, banners, etc. No permission required!

Please DO NOT: edit my work or use it for your own projects. This includes: inserting my photomodes or art into your fanfic, blog posts, or any other medium which involves personal opinion or counts as "transformative". Even if you ask permission, I will likely say no. ofc this all relies on respect of my wishes - so please be kind and considerate!!

#my art #self post #not trying to be rude but i've had content and concepts stolen before #and i'm about over it #i also don't want my work on personal opinion pieces because i don't necessarily want to cosign anyone else's words yknow? #i esp want to avoid my work being used for NOTPs #nothing personal i just have preferences like anyone else!

[kittleskittle]

idk i really badly needed to do some personal doodling so have a quick nil concept sketch for h3. or just an alt outfit

#horizon forbidden west #nil #niloy #fanart #yes it's implied niloy who do u think he's looking at #sketch #my art

[kittleskittle]

echoing this to say that just because we're quiet doesn't mean that there's not anything going on behind the scenes - i am, in fact, personally in crunch time at this very moment in order to finish up the rest of our assets, coding, and QA! and from now until release, i'll be working on FOTH every single day in order to polish it, and then polish it some more.

yinz are in for something SO special, and i know i can speak for the rest of the team when i say that we're chomping at the bit to share the culmination of this past year's labor with the fandom!

and, well, if you're eager for more info...keep an eye out on our socials 👀 soon...

I’d like to say as someone who is excited for this project: Take as long as you need. I think its better if everyone involved delivers a product about which they feel good, even if it’s not perfect. You guys have established a deadline, but I for one would not mind if it was moved to accomodate. Cause in the end its a passion project. I am wishing you all the best on this and looking forward to playing all the routes!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

We're looking to bring you and the fandom the best game we can deliver, and your faith and excitement in us is very heartening and heartwarming. 🥰

We're at a bit of a quiet spot right now development-wise with bringing everything together, so there isn't as much content to share as we'd like to. But when we have some more sneak peeks to share, we hope it inspires the same excitement in you to play that creating and working on this fangame does for us. 💘

In the meantime, keep an eye on our socials in the coming weeks, we hope to share some fun stuff soon!

burnout fucking blows. that's all.

#self post #why does this always happen to me in the final stretch of a project man #we are SO CLOSE and my brain just short circuits #it's been 10 months and i've been so diligent but all of a sudden #BAM here's a near-insurmountable wall #i'm going to finish! #but at this point it's like pulling teeth #sorry for complaining i'm just goin through it #wish it didn't make me loathe my work so much as a side effect :/ #this is absolutely because i've taken on SO MANY roles for FOTH #game lead/background artist/particle artist/nil route artist/part of the UI design/90% of the coding so far/the list goes on #this is entirely my fault but god #my vacation in june can't come fast enough

[kittleskittle]
