Kinktober is over, which means it's back on the BABELOMANIA grind. A big shout-out to @makevisualnovels.itch.io , who's made SO many shader effects for Ren'Py and, I mean: just look at what can be done with just ONE shader, and she's made like a dozen packs so far! (Link in reply) #vndev #indiedev

The Steam Demo for BABELOMANIA is now out! Welcome to the nightmare...! (The Demo is not part of the #steamnextfest October Event, but a 2nd Demo will join the February one!) #vndev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3515630/...

Gearing up for a big dev push on Sloppy Forgeries, the two-mouse game about copying famous paintings as quickly and accurately as possible. Coming Q3/4 2025. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #art #digitalart #games #videogames ✨ Wishlist ✨ ⇢ bit.ly/sloppy-bs

It! Is! OOOOUT! The first demo for BABELOMANIA! I thought about enrolling it in the Steam #nextfest for the spooky month but it's a bit too far removed from it's release date... So we'll enroll the 2nd Demo in the February one :) #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3515630/...

The Steam Demo for BABELOMANIA is coming out on the 1st of October! Treat yourself to a dark wedding on this spooky season! #indiegame #vndev www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XHb...

There's too many games is not the issue, the issue, imo as a developer is getting people to look at and then be interested to play my games and that's true to anyone that makes games, or books, or comics, or any form of media. Outreach and getting eyes on it has been the problem. But as a comsumer?

Still on old Law&Order. They brought back Jamie Ross as a guest character, and the barbs she and Abbie Carmichael trade...! They're both very ethically driven, but come from very different places. Also, Carmichael is younger and hotheaded while Ross has a life outside of her work. Amazing tv!

Most common feedback I get as a #gamedev is that my writing regularly makes people discover new words. Like, forces them to expands their lexicon. I take pride in it but also sometimes makes me think if I'm too much? Then I remember that gamers are not morons. So! "Unbeknownst to the..." #vndev

It's finally here! #JPDE2 Adagio of Darkness v2.1, the DATING SIM UPDATE, is out for everyone! As always, for free. Inspired by Dating Sim games from the 90s, prepare to strategize like never before! #RWBY jpde.itch.io/jpde2/devlog...

The preview for Maria Codadivolpe is now public! :D The last member of our protag trio for Tales of the Kinkeeper! #vndev #indiegame

#JPDE2 2.1 is now out for all Supporters on Patreon and KoFi! (links in the quoted post!) #rwby #vndev Public Release: 30/08/2025

Gotta say, Stripe customer service just straight up saying "we don't support the sale of any LGBT content" was not on my bingo card for this campaign. Hopefully this will be getting lots of attention from all over soon! Tell any journalists and rights orgs you know about it today!

Stripe crossed a line now. Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone. Also libraries and bookstores. Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

There's a recent surge of people saying go make your own website etc etc, but people also need to know that even if you host your website on free hostings and don't buy your own domain you can always make the website URL as your bluesky handle. And that's kinda fun

#JPDE2 Version 2.1 is now out for Supporters first! The Dating Sim System is finally here! [LINKS IN REPLIES] #RWBY #vndev All Patrons Release - 13/08/2025 Public Release - 30/08/2025

As you may have heard, thousands of NSFW games have been removed without warning from multiple platforms over the past few days. This sets a troubling precedent for the future of games. If you want more information on why this is happening and how to help, read more here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

The plan was, for Episode 11 of #JPDE2, to add the Dating Sim System alongside a bunch of other stuff... But considering how complex the DSim ended up being? Not a good idea. This may be the most complex system I've ever made, akin to a strategy game I would say. #vndev #indiegame #RWBY

The Game Design post about the #JPDE2 Dating Sim Design is now public, free to read for everyone! Come see what inspired the new mechanics and what you can expect going in. #vndev #indiedev www.patreon.com/posts/133685...

Big update for Tales of the Kinkeeper! Meet the last member of our protag trio, Maria Codadivolpe! :D (bigger and full preview exclusive for our Patrons, for now, development is a long and costly endeavour :P) #vndev #indiegame #TotK www.patreon.com/posts/tales-...

NEW JPDE2 VERSION UP! Bug Fixes ahoy! Softlocks from battle are gone, and you can no longer infinitely upgrade your battle suit :P jpde.itch.io/jpde2/devlog...

Almost done with the Rewards System for #JPDE2 's Dating Sim mechanics! Huge shoutout to @feniksdev.com for their Zoom Viewport plugin, which means I can put in @ahhgik.bsky.social's images fully size and in the original format :D #vndev #RWBY

What happens when you chance upon a group of artists who make high quality stock sprites AND you learn how to pallette swap and dither in Aseprite? :3 Old school, that's what! #vndev #indiegame (GUI by @skolaztika.bsky.social , BG by @ahhgik.bsky.social , Sprite by POMPACK, image editing by me)

Episode 11 of #JPDE2 is coming! Team JPDE will be going into Vacuo, and characters old and new will make their first appearance! Including the second member of Team #RWBY, finally out of the shadows...!!!

A new exclusive posts for Supporters! Come see how Dating Sim mechanics in #JPDE2 are going to work, and what inspirations they take from the great Dating Sims of the 90s! [LINKS IN REPLY]

Check my writings on Ao3 :3 I've been writing a Hulk fanfic recently. archiveofourown.org/users/Meinos...

I should share this more! I have a Vgen account and I do writing commissions! If you're in need of a one-shot, a character profile or more, for a game project or personal project, I'm your guy :) Also wish #Vgen would allow for easier sharing of writing samples. So... 1/2 vgen.co/meinoskaen

Congratulations to #RWBY for Volume 10! It's going to take a while to come out, considering the details of the team's update, but it's still amazing to know. As someone who owes basically EVERYTHING to the series, I can only wish the FNDM the best! (Also Penny is still the best. Stan Penny.)

Thank you so much for all the views on my first Tutorial Video on Ren'py! Finished recording all the footage and audio for number two, and now it's time for editing! Stay tuned!

I hope you liked the latest update of Tales of the Kinkeeper, because there's more coming! More story, more characters, more things to do! Including the final member of our protag trio. Do you like fox girls? :3 #TotK #vndev #indiegame

It's finally here...! #JPDE2 Adagio of Darkness 2.0 is now out, free of charge, for everyone! From simple #RWBY Visual Novel, it is now a Dungeon Crawler / Visual Novel hybrid! And more gameplay systems are incoming! Grab the download and check our Dev Log! #indiegame jpde.itch.io/jpde2/devlog...

If you're into Mystery Games, I'd appreciate feedback about the gameplay elements that we added to Tales of Kinkeeper, as there a free version! Be sure to activate 'streamer mode' if you don't want to see explicit material. #vndev #eroge #indiegame jpde.itch.io/kinkeeper

Tales of the Kinkeeper 1.1 is now out! Both Free and Paid versions have been update, and with this update you get a full first episode as we delve into the Mystery Solving gameplay! #ToTK #indiegame #vndev jpde.itch.io/kinkeeper/de...

And for our supporters on Patreon and Kofi, we have exclusive access to the video's script!

We've recently opened #JPDE2 to community content, and since I needed to make guides for people first approaching Ren'py, and all the Video Tutorials I could find were kinda old, I decided to start a tutorial series! Hope someone finds it useful! #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=s13N...

The 'Solve the Sentence with the Right Words' is very much inspired by the sublime Return of the Obra Dinn by Alexander Pope. The keyword system, instead, is very much from old CRPGs like the Ultima Series. This was way before dialogue trees... But I think, as a mechanic, it still has its uses.

People like the more user-dependent mechanic of note-taking, so... What about we add make investigations more independent too? >:D In Tales of the Kinkeeper, when investigating, you will LITERALLY need to ask the right questions and choose the right answers to progress! #ToTK #indiegame #vndev

I remember back on Xitter a thread @kenney.nl made where he asked people to link indie game engines... Maybe let's try again! If you know of/have an Indie Game Engine you're working on, leave it in the comments and reskeet :D #indiedev #indiegame

JPDE2 2.0 is now out for all Supporters! Completely revamped gameplay for exploring, battle and character progression! (PUBLIC RELEASE: 25th of June) #rwby #jpde #vndev

#JPDE2 2.0 is now out! #indiegame #rwby #rpg #vndev (As always, for Supporters first! Links in replies!)

This revamped version of #JPDE2 Adagio of Darkness will release this week! As always, for supporters on Patreon and Kofi first! #RWBY

alright... SO! New Dungeon Crawling system? Check. New Shin Megami Tensei inspired Battle System? Check. New Dialogue Beeps and more volume controls? Check! STATS UPDATE SYSTEM? CHECK! WHY DID I CHOOSE TO DO ALL OF THIS IN ONE MONTH, AGAIN?! #indiegame #RWBY #JPDE2

After revamping all the RPG systems of #JPDE2, I can confidently say that the most annoying part wasn't the code. It was BALANCING. "Oh, wait, this move costs too much but the damage is right BUT OMG WHY DOES THE AP GO DOWN SO LITTLE ahrightthebonus-" and so on. #RWBY #indiegame
