to my artfight moots, what would you guys do about characters who have AU versions with different relationships and designs? make separate characters or have them on the same page?

I turn 30 this year but it's not all bad because Genealogy of the Holy War also turns 30 this year. Me and my GOAT are one.

Emrys spritesheet! Our heroine's trusty attendant. In early plans he was going to have his own romantic bad ending but it got cut...

Another background finished! Do you agree with Lucifrid's philosophy?

Haunt a suit of armour. Explore an abandoned castle. Recover your memories, and bring the ghosts of the past to rest... including your own. The Last Winter Knight, my Gothic mystery visual novel about love, loss, and regret, is now available on Steam! ❄️ store.steampowered.com/app/2768420/...

My absolute favourite indie VN (if not just VN period) is up for sale and the final parts are releasing this year!!!!!! If you haven't checked out Because We're Here and like tragic otome, WWI or just good writing in general, please give it a try!

my yearly utility bill came in to over 2000 euros... i think i literally can't afford to live here anymore but i'm not sure how to find a more affordable place by myself with the housing market the way it is...

Fake boyfriend tropes? In my bittersweet yandere otome? It's more likely than you think

@ vn dev moots, is it better to upload my itch page early even if i don't have a demo? or should i just wait until the game is complete? i actually have ~an amount~ of itch followers and i don't want to send them an email for a coming soon page lol

we are officially scripting

drawing my MC Edelweiss so now I can finally have a mockup of everyone together 🙏

Me when drawing Lucifrid: I love Lucy so much, he is the best boy, I want to pinch his cheeks Me when drawing Ilya: I love Ilya so much, he is the best boy, I want him to stare at me in abject disgust

Kemonomimi jam is coming! It allows projects you're already working on, even if all you do is retroactively give all your characters **animal ears**! Narrative games like visual novels and RPGs are allowed. It's the year of the horse so yeah... itch.io/jam/kmnmm-ja...

I've been thinking about how my current project is kind of an anti-otome, but if I were to use that term people wouldn't take it like anti-hero but more like "I hate this genre and want to deconstruct it despite not knowing anything about it" (1/?)

By the way I've been on leave from work for burnout which I'm fairly sure has to do with my recent "wait, I'm not neurotypical?" internalisation but luckily I've been feeling well enough to work on Our Light Affliction again recently

Ilya sprite poses done! Now for expressions, I get to draw annoyed smile and polite but seething inside...
