Like a kitten in the deep blue, it's the Love ♥ Game year in review.
Me and my malevolent accomplice Aria made various evil games this year.
(She's on Cohost 🔞 @aria-of-flowers but she never posts, she's more active on Mastodon and sometimes Twitter.)
Snake Memory (February 24)
This game is a memory of a sweet kitty named Snake who passed away at the start of the year. It's a platformer with 27 levels, but I'm not sure if most people found that many levels or found the secret flags.
Sylvie wasn't feeling well today so she went on an adventure to meet different kittens. (April 13)
I made a short game when I wasn't feeling that well by simply expressing my raw feelings as a game. Creating games this way is nice.
Sylvie's sweet birthday (May 15)
It's a birthday Bitsy for me. Happy birthday Sylvie.
🔞 Love & Dehumanization (June 18)
This is the only game Aria directed this year but it's a major project that took her more than 3 months and I am really proud of her. It's an adult visual novel with extreme contents but you should try it if you're okay with that.
Puzzle Ecstasy (July 1)
Sylvie created a strange undoless puzzle game with action elements. Did you know this game was originally going to have limited lives, but I decided that was too mean? Then Void Stranger came out.
🔞 Dialogue 4: S&M metaphors and game design (August 21)
Aria also released a new dialogue wherein she finally solves the mysteries of whether game designers are sadists or not. It's not really explicit or anything but it is about S&M which is often considered an adult subject.
Unique Sylvie Game becames free (August 25)
This one is actually old, but it becames free this year and you can play in your browser.
Soft Kitten Experience (September 9)
Me and Aria teamed up to make a difficult platformer game. It's probably the second hardest Sylvie work (after Cute Jump). We like it, but we're thinking of revisiting it sometime to make the true final boss less annoying....
The End
Then, nothing happened for the rest of the year. Sylvie's day job became crushingly painful and made her depressed. Aria started a game about elfs but it will probably take a while to create.
