Foxglow Games
I'm Austin. I make games, some of them in C++ with no engine underneath, and I build widgets for VTubers and streamers. It's dark in here, so your cursor is a lantern.

Widgets for streamers
Goal bars, now-playing displays, timers, alerts and overlays, built to fit your stream instead of a template.
Small widgets start around ¥3,000. Bigger jobs get a quote. Scope, schedule and price are settled before I start, and new VTubers get 20% off.
- Email me your idea and any references.
- We agree on scope, timeline and cost.
- I build a preview and you tell me what's off.
- Revisions, then final delivery with instructions.

Hi, I'm Austin.
I run Foxglow Games on my own from Tokyo. It started with me making things I cared about, and that hasn't changed. If you're building something by yourself, I'd like to make that easier.
No publishers. I own everything I make and I answer to the people who play it.
I'm a creator too, so I try to treat other creators the way I'd want to be treated.
