Welcome to my blog!

My current (personal) works and this blog are aged 16+!

Currently: working on AEE's protoype

Ongoing Projects

An Elemental Existence (Ren'Py/Visual Novel) ∙ intro post

An Elemental Existence is a sapphic Visual Novel with 4 solo routes + 1 poly one.

After spending the last 18 years of your life locked away in a mansion by your abusive mother, you’ve finally become a normal teenager. The only problem? There’s nothing “normal” about you. You have the rare power to control all four elements.

Will you be able to learn how to live in the outside world, or will the memories of your mother continue to haunt you in this slice of life, urban fantasy tale?

Finished Projects

Voulez- Vous? (Twine) ∙ full game ∙ playlist to get in the groove ∙ last update: final update, 20/02/2026

Voulez-Vous? is a lesbian drama about three bandmates, one love triangle, and a whole lot of bad decisions.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1970s disco scene, you play as Roxie, a rising singer whose personal life is always on the verge of blowing up.

Unfinished Personal Projects

Exiled from Court (Twine) ∙ demo ∙ last update: Chapter 4, 20/05/2022

Exiled from Court takes place in Albarzia in the 19th century, a fictional setting based on Brazil well-known for its immoral and mischievous citizens and its monarchy's corruption. You play as The Hedonist, a young noble exiled from court looking to find their way back.

Still here. Things have been bad and I haven't gotten much done. I've been working on stuff, trying to get back in the habit of writing again. I wanted to wait until I had more to say, but I don't know when I'll actually have something concrete.

Thanks to anyone who sent messages and sorry I haven't responded. I am still working on this and whisper, just very slowly.

#we'll wait as long as it takes!!!#glad to hear from you!

By the way - I haven't been able to do dev logs, but AEE progress is going well. I believe you should hear about our demo drop soon. >:D

Over the weekend I went out to a cabaret and ended up getting depressed drunk instead of fun drunk. And I was watching the hot people get naked and thinking some really dark stuff. And now that I am reflecting on it, I'm like, you know who else this would happen to? My good friends The Hedonist and Roxie.

#life imitates art?

Caught myself thinking about the VV girls this week. I miss them now that the game's over!

An Elemental Existence Dev Log #4

intro post - previous dev log

For those who don't know me, hi, I'm Bianca. :) I'm behind hellojoy games.

An Elemental Existence is an upcoming sapphic Urban Fantasy Visual Novel. 💟

It's set in a fantastical version of Brazil, where some people can control one of the four elements. It will feature 4 solo routes + 1 poly one.

So, I've started Chapter Two! Yay.

In it, Rainbow (the main character) goes to Sydney's clinic for the first time. It's where all ROs meet for the first time and start becoming friends.

I am... having some trouble figuring out character positions.

I've written the beginning, which consists of a dream Rainbow has, and a small interaction with Alex. It changes quite a bit depending on if you're in her romance route or not, which is pretty fun to write.

As I've mentioned in our intro post, we're planning to release AEE's prototype on June—more on that soon. ;)

Thank you! Until next time. x

An Elemental Existence Dev Log #3

intro post - previous dev log

For those who don't know me, hi, I'm Bianca. :) I'm behind hellojoy games.

An Elemental Existence is an upcoming sapphic Urban Fantasy Visual Novel. 💟

It's set in a fantastical version of Brazil, where some people can control one of the four elements. It will feature 4 solo routes + 1 poly one.

Today's dev log will be short; instead of jumping into Chapter 2, I edited Chapter 1 instead.

I mostly reworked some of the choices, since a lot of them only had 2 options.

AEE will have a few "hidden" personality variables. They won't change how the plot progresses, but will change how characters react to Rainbow in certain occasions.

I'll be working on Chapter 2 next week. It's the first time when who you choose as an RO will matter, and make the story branch out, so - it'll be extra work... but extra fun as well!

Thank you! Until next time. x

🎉 It's live! You can already play LtGBtK on Steam/Itch!🎉

LtGBtK is now available on Steam and Itch.io!

It's time to go back to Opala and experience it with all the Sprites, new CGs, expanded scenes, and 2 exclusive short stories that you'll only find in the game! ;)

I decided to bring the release forward a few hours, just in case you all find any bugs/crashes. I hope you won't find any xDD but if you do, I'll be here, so just let me know! ♥♥♥

Don't know what LtGBtK is?

Two children raised together. One, a future King. The other, his whipping child.

Their relationship? It's up to you to develop.

Love the Guard, Be the King is purely a Fantasy Visual Novel game focused on Romance and/or Friendship, written and developed by solo dev Ligia Nunes, author of "Bear in Sheep's Clothing."

This is a game with extensive LGBTQ+ representation in which you can choose to play as straight, gay, bi, pan, ace, etc. In this first game of the series, you only have one Love Interest, Mathias.

✨Age suggested: 16+ for non-explicit sexual scenes, some soft swearing, and violence.✨

MATHIAS’S HEART HAS BEEN bleeding since his father, the former King, decided to punish you for his mistakes. As the youngest child of a lesser bourgeois, you were raised in the castle, between the King’s cruelty, the Queen’s friendship, and Mathias’s kindness (or supposed kindness?).

Now, more than twenty Carnivals since your arrival, the King is dead and the Queen’s sickness worsens each day. As the azure taint spreads in the kingdom and the Opalean Wars come to an end, it’s Mathias’s time to sit on the throne.

Will the docile Prince become a kind King, a violent Monarch, or a ruthless Tyrant? Will you have any say in it? And how much will your relationship change?

Develop your personality, see how your choices build, and change your bond with Mathias.

It’s time to help him choose. Will your monarch Love the Guard or Be the King?

You can already play the full version of LtGBtK on Steam and Itch.io!
