✨Call me Ju, it's easier✨

Hi! I'm ju, a game dev in retirement, but working 24/7 being obssessed with my friends games.

✨ I'm not here to make games, i'm here to tell tales ✍🏻

I'm brazilian, 23 years old, once I was a game writer and maybe a game designer? Now I just want my arts degree and be free.

Here is my itch.io, sadly I only made games in portuguese

And, as said previously, now my dev energy is focused in my devs friends, who need a lot love. I give some advice for babydevs and merch for my experienced friends, some shout outs, some in arts & crafts fanarts.

PLEASE GIVE THEM ALL SOME LOVE:

My old college pals GDP on itch.io

Garoa Studios on steam and itch.io

Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize

Maybe it's naive of me, but whenever I see portraits like this, with just a father and daughter, it restores my faith in humanity a little. Because people seem to love this idea that fathers never loved their daughters in the past and only saw them as bargaining chips for marriage or whatever, but look at the guy in the first portrait on the left, he loves that little girl! And the dad trying to do his work while his daughter bothers him with an Old Timey Barbie. The man teaching his daughter geography, his expression is so soft! The way the man in the last portrait holds the little girl's hand! And none of these are incidental, these aren't photographs, someone (probably the father) paid good money and sat down for hours so that they could have a painting of themselves and their daughter. Probably because they loved their daughter.

From left to right: 1795 Michał Jerzy Mniszech with his daughter Elżbieta - Marcello Bacciarelli; Christopher Anstey and his daughter Mary Ann by William Hoare 1776; A Musician and His Daughter by Thomas de Keyser 1629; The Geography Lesson (Portrait of Monsieur G. and His Daughter), 1812; Jean-baptiste Isabey And His Daughter; Portrait of a Young Girl and Older Man by William Harrison Scarborough

(this is probably somewhat related to my other favourite genre of painting, Husband With Multiple Kids Making Come Hither Eyes At His Wife)

oh I love those! People being people is one of my favourite kinds of paintings and an important reminder that people in past times were not all that different. There were dads who loved their daughters fiercely. There were fathers who happily looked after their babies too. The German reformer Philip Melanchton for example had a cradle in his office. His wife was busy organising a household for 20 people- she was out and about, he mostly worked in his office, it made sense for him to look after their babies too babies while she dropped by at snack time.

in fact often if it was kind of safe dads had the babies in their workshops for just that reason as we can see in these paintings:

The left is “the busy father” by Theodore Weber, the right one is “At the china repairer’s “ by Wenzel Tornoe. All dads who are actively involved in childcare and a painter who thought it was a cute topic rather than anything ridiculous.

I spent an insane amount of time researching all of the hex codes for these colors and companies so I could have them since I mainly do digital art, and since i made the, to have for free, I am sharing so we ALL can have them for free.

Pls enjoy

Ps. I am working on actually writing down each individual hex code, but y’all will have to wait for that

Edit: here’s a link to a Dropbox folder with all my colors so far. You all should be able to download, save, and export/import to Procreate 😁

Devlog #1 - Updated Build!

Hi everyone! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

 We’ve added a new portion of the game that allows you to explore new areas around the bar! On that same note, now the bar is also fully colored and we are working on finishing up the apartment that appears in the beginning and the close up for the stage. ✨

Hopefully in the next month we’ll have implemented more of the story and other cool things such as character expressions XD!

We were working on changing the song for the other locations during the moments in the bar, but haven’t been able to figure that out yet, so it’s still a work in progress.

This is still just a prototype (currently available in both english and brazilian portuguese!), so please try out the game and help us out with any feedback!

Here's another look at the start of our upcoming game, Sangria! 🦇🍷
