Hey there!
We are a couple working on our passion project. It's been a fantastic journey for the past year working together in this game.

From the beginning, we had a clear idea of what we want to express with this game. We both love fantasy, magic and cats! And this is the perfect opportunity to reflect all together here. We enjoy discussing new ideas, and we get excited and nervous every time we share something new about the game.

We want people to have fun and feel relaxed, for that we include tons of different classes and activities. You can make potions, and you can catch spells; you can even care for your garden.
It's important to relax and enjoy the game at your own pace.

Cats always make us smile, and that's what we want to transmit. So in the game, you have a cat as a spirit companion that you can find in your cosy home and pet them. The cat also stays with you when you attend lessons at the academy in the shape of a floating cat.

After a few months of developing the game, we were lucky to get a Nintendo Switch and started to test the game on the console. We are incredibly excited to release the game on PC and Nintendo Switch, and it's going great!

We are adding lots of unique places to chill and make friends at the academy. This is one of them, the tree plaza where you can hang out with new apprentices friends and head to your exciting classes.

If you want to find the game, you can search on Steam Kitori Academy

This is post is exactly as much of an ad as the artists/creators that sell their paintings/jewellery etc. I love seeing what you’ve created!

Last straw? For what? To stop using imgur? To smite the non-believers? What a weird thing to say. This is an ad, and not labeled as one.

You know, people post the things they make and their Etsy links here all the time. But when it’s a small game dev it’s “ThIs iS aN aD”. ?

How does it differ from people sharing their crochet/3D printing stuff you can then go buy on their Etsy? (Bought some I've found from here)

Your hatred for ads is why I sleep well at night.

2/2 Though now that I check, this is the only thing the account has posted so maybe "Imgurian sharing their passion" doesn't apply?

What a bunch of moronic vinegar drinkers. You are right and ads should not be normalized.

5 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 30

Ads are clearly labeled. They're likely hoping to avoid to have to pay, and get away with advertising a product.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 10

Coming from a guy that ad blocks everything and hates them to death. I'm okay with indi developers showing off their goods like this.

Nope. They're gonna have to clearly label it as an ad. This isn't written to be anything else.

Arguably it’s no different to some of the wholesome posts we see of creators making stuff then being asked for an Etsy link
