DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator will be playable at @qgcon.bsky.social in Montreal the last weekend of September! I wish I could be there in person to talk about the game with everyone, but I'm just happy it gets to exist in a cool queer space ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

If you're looking for something to tide you over until DESERT OF ASH comes out, the game's writer just released a solo side project with a spicy twist...

New devlog, the final one in this series, covering the trading system in DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator! You can give characters items they might value in exchange for what you need to survive, and here's how I got all that running: davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as... #vndev

Here's my September Patreon update. Mostly bad news tbh, but we keep on keeping on: www.patreon.com/posts/septem...

despite everything I am really happy to announce my next Steam festival, aimed at every kind of romance-themed visual novel! we'll have special sections depending on romance type (yuri, yaoi, etc.) as well as story genre types and even granular things like amount of LIs or character customization 💖

DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator will be participating in this festival! It'll be a great time to try out the demo and get a glimpse of some of the guys you can pursue, whether it's just for a hook-up or something more 👨‍❤️‍👨 #FallinLoveFestival

If you've played the demo, you know that this is shockingly close to the text of the game... #vn #visualnovel #bara

I've updated the demo for DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator with tweaks to controller support, self-voicing, and more! Read about it and download the demo on @itch.io: davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as... Or download and wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3098970/...

I've been testing the game with Ren'Py's self-voicing feature, and having the robot read sex scenes aloud is pretty amusing... 🤖🔊🍆🤤 #vndev #indiedev #adultgamedev

We're findable again! 😌

We're findable again! 😌

I did a quick drawover of a scene Gio's working on to give feedback on character poses. There's a reason one of us does the art and the other... doesn't 😅 #vndev #indiedev #adultgamedev

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

Along with basically all other adult games, DESERT OF ASH has been (temporarily?) delisted from @itch.io. It still exists on the platform, but can't be searched. You can find it and download the demo here: davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-ash Or on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3098970/...

In this house we love an epigraph! 🤓 #visualnovel <------ His Own Being @desertofash.bsky.social ------->

New devlog, on the hunger/thirst system in DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator! davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as... This is the simplest part of the game's interlocking gameplay systems. Posts on the related inventory and trading systems coming soon! #vndev #renpy

Deon on the left, Casey on the right. Always a joy to work on scenes with these two cuties in them. 😍 #vndev #indiedev #adultgamedev

It's been a while, so let's reintroduce the cast of DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator! Starting with our protagonist, a solo wanderer. It's up to you to decide how (or if) he survives this barren world—and how much fun he has in the process. #gamedev #adultgamedev #vndev

I've been accepted to exhibit DESERT OF ASH at QGCon in Montreal! 🎉🎉 Buuuut, it's still up in the air whether I can afford to get there from across the country. I'd love some support, so here's how you can help: Toss me money at davisgsee.itch.io Become a patron at www.patreon.com/davisgsee

Desert of Ash? more like Desert of ASS #bara #adultgamedev

Yeah, I guess gay sex is pretty woke. 😎

I've been doing sound design for @desertofash.bsky.social, we're up to 30+ sound effects now. I've spent so much time listening to crunches and crinkles and creaks over and over again, wondering which recording of a fork falling "captures the mood" better... Game dev is hell!!!

As wildfires rage not so far from where I live, I wrote a new devlog about the real-world inspirations behind the setting of DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as...

Okay but who does this even help? Who was looking at my gay porn game and thinking, 'Looks cool, but is it woke tho???'

Yeah, I guess gay sex is pretty woke. 😎

Despite having fallen into ruin, the world is not devoid of art. Eagle-eyed players will find plenty of incidental pieces our artist has worked into the background art of DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator! #gamedev #indiedev #vndev

The city isn't what it used to be. It's funny what you'll miss when it's gone. #gamedev #indiedev #vndev

At this point I should probably put out an updated demo just before the game's actual release, just to make sure folks are seeing the game in the best possible light. 🙏

FINALLY fixed a weird technical issue with the inventory system in @desertofash.bsky.social that's been bugging me for ages. If you played the demo and got confused when scrolling did stuff you didn't expect: don't worry! It'll be all good in the final release! 😤 #gamedev #vndev

I've got a new public post on Patreon, and I'll be aiming to do one of these monthly from now on! I talk about what I've been up to so far this year, development on @desertofash.bsky.social, and a sneak peak at a little side project of mine. Take a look! www.patreon.com/posts/127926...

Happy May! The sun is shining, and I've posted a new devlog about how I've approached writing characters' top/bottom preferences in DESERT OF ASH, and trends I've seen in other gay games. "Who's Fucking Whom? On Positional Preferences in Gay Adult Games" davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as...

I recommend becoming gay

I made a tier list of the Edmonton Oilers' current player roster. No, I don't know anything about hockey. "Then how the hell did you rank them," you ask? WELL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttlT...

Across both Steam and @itch.io, over 1000 people have checked out the demo for DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator! You can, too, and if you like what you see, wishlisting would be super sexy of you. 🥰 store.steampowered.com/app/3098970/...
