HOM.dev
We’re two people in the Maldives, starting our first visual novel, with RPGs on the horizon. We’re at the very beginning. What would you like to know?

What are you making?
In a seaside village where lanterns hold people's memories, an apprentice lighthouse keeper finds one that remembers tomorrow. Over one festival night, you meet a wandering witch and an old friend, choosing which memories to keep — and which future to let go. A small fantasy visual novel about belonging, imagined with a small cast and three possible endings.
An exploratory story idea, with a working title. The story, scope and art may change; no release date is set.
Programming, drawing, and exploring story and character ideas.
Characters, choices and the worlds they live in. No release date yet.
Part of our longer-term direction, after the visual novel.

Entry 01
We are HOM.dev, a new two-person game-development studio in the Maldives. We are starting with a visual novel: learning the tools, exploring story and character ideas, and practising programming and art. RPGs are part of our longer-term direction. We are at the beginning, and will share selected progress here as it develops.
I’d like to say hello.
We’re at the beginning of ours. Thanks for following along.
