So sorry to hear that Rob. You've been such a great friend, someone who consistently went out of your way to help us and others like us. Your work and kindness will always be remembered and you should be very proud of yourself for building up IGN to what it is today.

Finally got our hands on a physical proof of the Slay the Princess art book!

Hardcover. Over 290 pages lovingly laid out by @abbyhoward.bsky.social. You get to make choices in it, just like in the game. Tons of developer commentary and concept art. Shipping August 15th.

We're making it because we believe games hold space for complicated truths, and in doing so, help someone feel less alone.

Thank you for being here with us. For listening. For caring. I look forward to its completion and for the day the game can independently stand for itself.

Fractured Blooms is the most personal thing I’ve ever worked on. It comes from stories in my family, from moments we don’t talk about, from pain that’s hard to name. Making this game has been our way of trying to understand that.

28.06.2025 17:56 β€” πŸ‘ 10    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I want to acknowledge that I regret not addressing this confusion sooner. Things moved quickly during SGF, but clarity and care for our partners, friends, and community are values I hold deeply. I fell short of my own standards here, and I take that to heart.

Despite any perceived similarities between Fractured Blooms and DDLC due to the way the game was announced, it's critically important to me to clearly state that Dan is not involved in Fractured Blooms in any way.

28.06.2025 17:56 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Dan is a visionary developer & a close friend, who I care about deeply & continue to be inspired by. Working with him has been one of the most meaningful collaborations of my life.

Serenity Forge and Team Salvato have always had, and will continue to have, a great relationship.

Bluntly put:
- Doki Doki Literature Club was developed by @teamsalvato.com and created by @dansalva.to
- Doki Doki Literature Club Plus was published and co-developed by @serenityforge.com
- Since I have you, I'd also like to clarify that Slay the Princess is developed by @blacktabbygames.com
