today's microgame

Dicot (20XX)

Like I love all of my friends but nearly every cis person I know in this community, including my friends, loves to they/them trans people compulsively and it does kind of make me feel like they can only perceive non-cis identity as "gender blob"

This woman (she/it) can hold so many they/thems at games week

I just know that something good is gonna happen. I don't know when, but just saying it could even make it happen!

FIRST EVER FANART BABY IM OVER THE MOON

lol

i love the old win7-era sticky notes app i used to have a million of them everywhere and im getting back into that lol

i'll consider who is johnny sixgun a true success if i can get at least one horny fanart of jenny out of it

If you were curious where my creative pursuits were taking me, i'm currently reading the bible

I still desperately want to put out the homestuck metal gear solid fancomic that piper and i were working on lol we just needed like a couple people keen to help us pump out pages bc we're mostly in it for the writing

Who is Johnny Sixgun? Is now free and available to everyone! "You are Johnny Sixgun. You have been having the same dream every night, and it warns you of something terrible. It's time to figure your shit out." siobhan-dent.itch.io/who-is-johnn...

I need a macbook for testing sooo bad im sorry i stopped making mac builds everyone i cant make sure they work!!!

the current anti-trans moral panic that started in the 2010's i think has finally reached the full height of absurdity now. no one can pretend this isn't anything other than what it is at this point.

Silksong is good! It seems like an unremarkable thing to say but i was not expecting to be enchanted by this formula again, and i'm finding i am. They've made it into, like, a character action game? Its cool.

What an unbelievable privilege to be working with my favourite musician of 7 years on a passion project. I keep being overwhelmed by the sheer talent and vibrance in this team

goopin

If i ever get let on a stage to speak again (which they should, because I'm delightful) i will talk about either fetish porn or people taking advantage of pro-labour good intentions in this industry (naming names). You're going to love my evil era

A hyperintelligent enclave of the world's most dangerous and powerful thinkers are saying "back the drac" www.kickstarter.com/projects/171...

Just so you know how cool i am, i'm more excited about PanGUI than any videogame coming out in the near future

BACK DRACULESTI ON KICKSTARTER RIGHT NOW!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/171...

Overtime Mode activated! Since we were on the knife edge between making it or not, Kickstarter have extended our campaign by a week to help us hit 100%! Thanks for all your support so far. With that little bit of extra time, and a little bit of extra effort, we can make it!

It feels reaaallly weird looking at what is essentially job applications from the other side >_< I feel sorry for folks who are being uber professional about it because a perfect professional resume is going to pique my interest less than a funny selfie on your google account pfp dhagsjsjb

You don't know how excited I've been to announce that we have received not only the Emerging Gamemakers Fund, but ORIGINATE GAMES for Dicot!!! It means the world ten times over to have this much faith placed in our work. We're making something beautiful. vicscreen.vic.gov.au/news/latest-...

at this point i've had multiple folks tell me that they've come back to xyz game or story i've made a second time and that time it unlocked extreme transgender feelings within them. i genuinely could not be more flattered to see people connect with my work that way

Signing up to the real business at the real business table

Next at @free-play.bsky.social "The Suburb Game And Other Ways To Make An Adventure Out Of Nothing" with @siobhan.creature.love and the subtitle "anyone still dreaming of orgonon? just me? #freeplay #freeplayangles #angles25

See you soon freeplay :)

I've had a few chats with people about Dicot where they're like ahhh I can see the trans metaphor and I'm like no not really? We're not doing allegory. It's just text. You can eat a flower that turns you into a boy. The premise is just very transgender as much as it is very therian, transhuman, etc.

I have such little regard for professional affect as is that if i was even a tiny bit high on the job i would probably start rapping about poop to my students

Im allowed to announce now that we've been given funding to work on our sci-fi 2d immersive sim about devotion, cave diving and transformation, Dicot!!! Working with @milosoftfen.bsky.social , @twig.cool and @averycutedog.bsky.social :))

I think curiousity is the single most important trait you can have to become a cool and good person

The nurse cried, "love!" "This is love!" "I am love!" "I am a warm glow." The world felt. The nurse ceased to be. You would learn, from the vantage provided by a window pane, When orange becomes brown. The sun is too bright, the summer too long. We built a roof.

I guess freeplay schedule came out while i wasnt looking LMAO anyway yea i'm doing a talk on "The Suburb Game" and the many ways to make an adventure out of nothing ! Going to be silly and focused on finding play in our everyday lives.

I think i might not be miserable enough to finish my game DIRTLOVE PARABLE, which is convenient, because i have TOO MANY THING

Everything i make is gonzo

my website is pretty outdated both in theme and content so i've replaced it with a new landing page while i work on the new one :)

a young lady like myself shouldn't have to directly edit the FMOD Unity plugin code as often as i have to

I get the slop while boss gets the slime That's why i goop on company time

weed hallucinated a lost gamecube game and now need to make it more than any of the cooler more important stuff im working on

I would have already launched a full length homestuck / metal gear solid crossover fancomic at you by now if it wasnt for the fact that art takes me and piper too long and nobody else has the same brain damage

i have nearly accrued enough muscle memory and reusable codebase to make UI construction a merely "annoying" task and not a "tweeting about violence towards myself and others" task

My nemesis is finally reaping what he sow... Late birthday present

funny to go from having nearly no bespoke scripting on monomyth to dirtlove, which has accrued 60 custom scripts before i've started making the actual world lol

"Crash Twinsanity news in 2025" is the sort of thing that makes me consider whether i might be god and the protagonist of the universe and everything is happening in service of my sacred journey

Dicot is a game by Siobhan Dent, Zachariah Chandler, Twig Takac and Fentine Gard featuring the music of Kendall :3

are there any lawyers games folks go to in melbourne other than cam rogers??

I'm going to make some really special art
