Meowdy everyone! I hope you've all been having a good summer. It's been super hot where I live, and my air conditioning unit was making super loud rattling noises. I finally got it fixed and I can live in quiet cool peace now!!

Twofold CG Process - Piggyback Ride

Meowdy, Theo back at it again with another CG process!

This CG is the oldest in my history as an artist for Twofold. It was the first sketch of a proper CG I ever did, even before the character intros! Back then, I was reading through the CG lists and the respective scenes, and the visual of Olive carrying Millie back home at night was really compelling to me. There's been minor changes to it (...

Sand... how far does it go? - PBH Comic

July 2023 Monthly Update

Meowdy, y'all,

Today's update will be a little on the short side, but that's not because we haven't been busy!

Of course, one of the biggest things was that we attended OffKai Expo in San Francisco! The turnout for our booth and panels was incredible, and it was awesome seeing folks in person. Thanks to everyone who showed up! We're going to start trying to attend a lot more cons, so hopefully we'll be able to see more of y'all at an event near you. Right now we're mostly sticking...

June 2023 Monthly Update + Publishing News

Gosh, hard to believe today is the first day of June. In the month of May, which totally just ended yesterday, we did a lot of things, including one big change to our operations. Here are some of them.

-We wrote and edited and talked about a lot of Samayuuni stuff! We're expanding the common route a bit from what was originally planned, and so I've been rewriting and combining some of the old drafts + writing new ones. It's a bit slow going right now, as I'm still getting used to writin...

National Park Girls Episode 5 Update

*Syon even provided a narrated version of this update. You can find it in the attachments if you want to hear it.

Hey everyone, Syon here!

Extremely long time, extremely no see. What can I say — I’m just as elusive as that final episode of National Park Girls.

Speaking of which…

I’d like to apologize for the long absence of any information regarding the release of NPG 5. Time and then again, we kept making promises about the release, and time and time again, th...

May 2023 General Update

Hello hello!

April was a packed month as we've been getting back into the swing of things, with lots of exciting developments.

We've been making lots of progress on Samayuuni, in just about every regard. There's been a lot of story discussion between us writers and our editor, Ari, as we've been refining the outlines and story. Much like with Please Be Happy, some of the themes and ideas that we came up with 4 years ago at the project's genesis don't resonate quite as much nowaday...

Summer UI Preview

Hi everyone!! Anyone who's been watching the streams may have seen, but I've been busy designing the UI for Summer at the Edge of the Universe!

There's one screen that I'm saving until later to design, since I'll need to know more about the full game structure, but other than that it's done and ready for implementation.
