Were You Followed wishes everyone a very merry and safe holiday season. However you celebrate, or do not, we simply hope that you are safe in this busy and hectic time, emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Be well, all. You deserve happiness.

We are devastated to see this, Ant. Your work is beautiful, and your process is a part of what you bring to every job. To see this done to your art is truly awful.

Were You Followed has a zero tolerance for GenAI. All projects coming out of Were You Followed are ethically and contractually required to be 100% human made, with no use of GenAI in the creative process at all.

This is a stance we take, stand on, and will never falter. Human creativity forever.

Please help us and other games discuss this vital and critical aspect of human interaction. Vote wisely, think critically, engage thoughtfully. Let's make our tomorrow better, safer, and healthier for everyone involved.

Incarnal has the design intention to create a mature experience that enshrines adult intimacy in a way games often shies away from. We truly want to engage with interactive intimacy, vulnerability, and relationships in our dark fantasy world.

Political discourse and gaming are intrinsically entwined. The conservative and legal actions of the UK, US, and the censorship of Mastercard and Visa of adult content actively impact the design of Incarnal in tangible ways.

I'm Jen, a concept artist, illustrator and writer based in Australia looking for opportunities in cover illustration for dark genres, and novel or comic publishing agents for future projects.

I cannot say we do. Google says she is a streamer?

Excellent trivia.

Scorn will kiss anyone! Well. As long as they are patient and help him learn what it means to want someone.

Wow. There's... more of you! Where did you all come from? Welcome!

Why thank you, we worked very hard for that exact response.

Fortunately for you, he is very smashable in the game.

Nice catch! Those are his naked, VFX-less eyes floating above his head. But he knows that people get confused looking into them so he directs them to his eye sockets instead.

He would appreciate your candidness if he understood what 'thirsty' meant.

Scorn caught you looking.

(He's naked of his VFX, be nice to him).

Do we have a big lady who can step on you in our game?

We have two, in fact.

One would never.

One very much will.

Our dream is to normalise romance in games so much that we inspire Sandfall Interactive to work with the developer of Dark Queen of Mortholme to make an Elden Ring-scale version of that game.

Please make the big lady step on us and fall in love.

If you like the idea of monstrous romance, please go visit the Drăculești Kickstarter and have a great look at the amazing work they are doing over there!

It's important to support indies, and this is an excellent example of new ground we can forge.

It's absolutely at least one Gal reading these :) We use this data to help convince the Funding Peeps that people want the game. It also ensures that we maintain the core focus of the market audience, you!

At this stage we are exploring publishing and financing options, so we want to ensure not to make promises for deliverables (such as perspectives, trailers, visuals) that may have to change in the future.

Thank you so much for your kindness! At this stage, it is a first-person perspective interactive theatre game. A bit more than a visual novel, a bit less than the interactive graphic novels like Telltale Games.

We're keeping perspective and visuals under wraps for now, just in case.

Horrifying. (Un)fortunately no(?). We're not entirely sure which of these responses we want to have.

But (our) Scorn was created in 2021 when this game was made, and the game Scorn was announced in 2023. So it is a beautiful coincidence, honestly.

... Where are you all coming from? And how do I put more posts there?

Welcome to our monster kissing project! Please feel free to ask us any questions. I will scrounge up our creative lead from wherever she's buried in angst.

Hi there! Not entirely sure the tone or intent behind this reply, and we don't want to misinterpret your meaning. We're happy to explain our original comment if you wish for us to elaborate. Just let us know. We think games are an incredibly important and unique medium for this.

07.09.2025 03:15 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

There are so many of you! We are so excited to see more interest in this game. With the most recent issues that are plaguing video games, we feel it is even more important to talk about intimacy and relationships in games than ever before.

We can't wait to show you what we're doing.

Kinksters, furries, artists: now's your last chance to voice your concerns.

DEADLINE is August 28!
