It's okay to criticize our game because we are first time developers, and we're learning as we go. But one thing you do not come at us for is our DIVERSITY!

We are women. We are men. We are Black. We are Asian. We are White. We are trans. We are gay. We are bi. And we are PROUD!

We will not be removing any of our phone calls because someone is offended. Our voice actors work HARD, and come from all different backgrounds and ethnicities. We will be adding to our phone calls. Not removing.

[badsummer]

Bad Summer is a horror-romance visual novel set at the edge of a nightmare.

Assume the roles of Jenny Lewis, a quiet guitarist turned reluctant camp counselor, and Oliver Smith, a rookie detective chasing a case no one wants solved. Switch between two perspectives as you unravel secrets that stretch far beyond missing persons and whispered campfire stories.

Flirt, investigate, panic, and regret as you make impossible choices that ripple across two lives...and maybe the end of the world.

Caught between supernatural horror and messy human connection: Who will you trust when the world falls apart?

Blending visual novel storytelling with interactive mini-games, Bad Summer is a psychological horror experience filled with romance routes, heart-pounding phone calls, deadly consequences, and just enough levity to keep you breathing.

I'm pretty sure you don't post about GTA anymore but I do want to ask, what made you ship Franklin and Tracey lol? It's a cute ship but I wanna hear ur thoughts on it

The days when I used to write fanfiction...omg! Feels so long ago. I had so much free time back then! Life was simple, easy. Then adulting happened and RUINED EVERYTHING (lord I'm suffering, someone help.)

Anyway, back to the question. FRANKLIN AND TRACEY ARE ADORABLE TOGETHER AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. There's just something about the trope of spoiled rich girl and BROODING dude struggling to get by that is just...chef's kiss 💋 And Franklin's close relationship with her father is extra tea. The conflict makes for a good romance story. I absolutely love this ship.
