Creating a better future starts with imagining that one can exist — and to work towards that, Trans Joy Jam is returning this year! 💕 Make a game or piece of media dedicated to trans or gender-queer joy. Sign up here: itch.io/jam/trans-jo...

is this thing on? 👁 #gamedev #visnov

Absolutely agree with this sentiment to the point where I maintain a curated list of visual novels, specifically queer ones, that I absolutely think folks need to check out Visual novels are an incredibly accessible form of storytelling, for both players & creators, and y'all should be playing more

I'm also always generally looking out for more queer games hosted on itch to add to the big Digital Diversity list So if you're a queer gamedev and you've got something on itch io that I don't already have on the list, let me know so I can add it! 😊 (no gen"ai" of course, take that crap elsewhere)

the world would be a better place if everyone read more visual novels

what could i possibly be up to...... >:3 #gamedev

i finally recovered my password (aka i put in my password and it turns out i was just mistyping it this whole time)

all great games before this moment were made without genAI and I'm not sure why we must bloat industry output infinitely until the whole exercise is so unsustainable that we need to use robots to keep up

Now that the holidays are over, we gotta pick back up out fight against censorship online. Make your calls and get mad about all the other shit too!

coding is going well. nothing to see here

Sprite artist is secured, Still looking for bg artists + possibly a cg artist :)

In "A Simple Re:Quest," you find yourself taking part in a month-long augmented reality game (ARG) designed for teams of 2 players. Your teammate? A not-so-mysterious, sometimes-technologically-clumsy linguistics nerd doing their best.

Hello! My team is working on a visual novel for #swakjam about a cabin caught in time, and the cheeky ghost sharing it over your getaway. Focus on themes of grief, superstition, and connection. LF: artists for CGs (5 indoor+outdoor) BGs (6-8 in cabin, woods ) and Sprites (2 char + 3-4 alts each)

Tis the season 🐈💖 (to play a cute cozy vn!) #visualnovel #winterVNjam #digitalartist

Casual reminder to never give reviews of artists to paypal, EVEN POSITIVE ONES; theres zero benefit to it and puts both you and them at risk If you want to say something positive about the artists work then either say it directly to them NOT THROUGH PAYPAL, or recommend them to all your friends

Tis the season 🐈💖 (to play a cute cozy vn!) #visualnovel #winterVNjam #digitalartist

Welcome back, artists! 🎪🌿🗡 QRP with an old piece that you still like! probably one of my favorite comms ive ever done tbh (characters belong to @angelrotgames.bsky.social )

Hi! If you're new to Bluesky and enjoy steampunk, visual novels, or are otherwise in the mood for what's basically a 90min theatre piece in videogame form… Some absurdly skilled humans were kind enough to hop aboard this project with me earlier in the year. It's got a very special spot in my heart.

This is the kind of news no one wants around the holidays, but sometimes life is like that. My uncle is in his final days, and I want to help my family in his last moments and say a proper goodbye. Anything helps right now. ko-fi.com/hikariviny/g...

Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

Random detail: this nerd's vision isn't monocular, but making his less impaired eye (right) match the one I use for >70% of my seeing was *very* deliberate…purely so that I wouldn't get left-right confused in the script 😅😆 (I only use one eye at a time, but my brain swaps between 'em contextually.)

new pinned! re-opening kofi sketch comms to help tide myself over during the winter period. more info is available at my page ko-fi.com/writheinpain for anyone interested. likes and reposts are always appreciated. #commissions #mutualaid #art

My notifications are in shambles but I need every trans person ever to know I love you and if you have a story you want to tell but are afraid to because it's not the "ideal typical trans character story" please do it anyway. Please. You need to tell it, and someone out there needs to hear it.

I don't want to post any spoilers, I'll probably draw some silly character art soon to celebrate, but here are some of my first draft sketches i used to warm up drawing the characters for the cgs!! :) #visnov #visualnovel #winterVNjam #digitalartist

So proud of this team + in love with what we made together 🫶

One of the cutest and most nostalgic otomes I've played in a long time ❤️ definitely check it out!!!

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

That’s making the game!! If you don’t like that part of making the game, don’t make that a feature of the game or hire a weird pervert who does like recording a million barks and efforts (affectionate)!! Don’t turn to the environment-ruining plagiarism machine, christ.

I wish all Generative AI programs and servers a very blow up forever No one will EVER take ANY creative process away from my hands. I will use my own mind to think up my own shit, use real damn references for it, and ask THE REAL HUMAN MINDS AROUND ME to get inspiration and advice.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

larian killing all that good will with the AI thing especially when it's voice actors and writers and artists have been against it all this time had been... Something (when will games value their writers? The world may never know)

also my birthday was on sunday 🎉 woohoooo 27 :3

working on a project has been sooooo rewarding. I've become so much better about communication, discipline, and taking my time on art and it's blown me out of the water. I'm so excited to be a part of something that will be out there in the world soon ❤️

Unicorns are in the world again. 🌌 Last Unicorn charm coming soon!

no, you don't understand. That's my emotional support theme I almost always have some version of in my writing.

day 1336645776777 of thinking about that unredeemable vampire #curseofstrahd

Yes, you *can* use "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in order to include all 26 English letters, but why would you when "Sphinx of the black quartz, judge my vow" exists?

Hey, call me Vesper. 29, He/They By day I work supporting teenagers with mental health needs, by night I work reception at an art school. Somewhere in between I draw my characters, write stories about them, and once in a while I collab and work on a game jam. vesperlarkart.carrd.co

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

Big Update on the the sketchy "Disney artist" that was stealing credit and tracing from many in the art community. He has filed fake DMCA claims on multiple youtubers, and now is treating me with a defamation lawsuit despite the mountain of evidence against him. youtu.be/xsoe5E5QYPs?...
