We've got a Christmas present for you: one day early access to Laugh Track for streamers and content crankers! (that's the term, right?) The public gets it on the 13th, but if you wanna start showing it off on the 12th, we can arrange! DM us or email or whatever for a key if you'd like to do that.

You've got 20 days until the release of Laugh Track, our next FREE visual novel. All our future game releases will be free, using back catalog sales and Patreon combined to help offset the costs. The back catalog's on sale right now on Steam! Get Arcade Spirits or Penny Larceny for a steal!

If you're looking for a cozy book to curl up by the fire with, can we recommend a book... in VIRTUAL form? With GAMEPLAY? And CHOICES? And occasionally HEAVY-HANDED ANTICAPITALIST THEMES? Arcade Spirits and Penny Larceny are on sale alongside free games, too! store.steampowered.com/developer/fi...

Guys I don't mean to alarm you, but I just found out that when pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza *anytime*.

We don't use AI to make our games. Anywhere. Not concepts, not prototypes, not placeholders. It's not that hard to just copy and paste the word "placeholder" several times or drop in a stick figure or orange square, but apparently that's too much effort for a multimillion dollar studio.

If any of you little miscreants *DARE* to come into our Fiction Factory Games Discord with **PRONOUNS** ...we will HUG you and SUPPORT you and it may go on for some time discord.gg/gaCcH2N

The most variable character sprite I've done yet, the protagonist for an in development VN from @fictionfactorygames.com. Three body types that can be paired with any of three face types, with player chosen skin and hair colours. It was a doozy but I'm proud I pulled it off! #art

Next is Penny Larceny by the wonderful @fictionfactorygames.com! It’s a replayable crime visual novel where you get to pick what kind of supervillain you be while making friends with other villains and even heroes. You can also choose how to do your heists! store.steampowered.com/app/2227030/...

You know what we love the most here at Fiction Factory Games? Unsolicited randos kicking down our door asking to manage our social media for us. Are we good at social media? Nope! Are we handing over the keys to a sketchy weirdo with a 5K PDF file? Nope.

"Hey Fiction Factory Games, why are all your new games releasing for free?" - so you can financially support other indies too - because this is how I want to spend my retirement - our community helps fund it - why the hell not, it's fun - fuck capitalism and competition Laugh Track arrives Jan 13.

Patreon backers at $5 and up now have access to Alpha-01 of nemeSYSter and The City Unseen. Get a (very) early look at our upcoming projects! Laugh Track included, too! www.patreon.com/c/fictionfac... Can't join? That's fine! All this stuff releases for free when done. Laugh Track coming Jan 13!

We're starting a fun side project! It's in the early stages and nothing's certain, but if you want to get involved, details in the thread.

One of my favorite games is on sale for literally $1, and if you like visual novels I can't recommend Arcade Spirits the New Challengers enough! I love the cast, it's very queer as far as pronouns/romance, and it's a love letter to gaming and friendship. store.steampowered.com/app/1484620/...

Arcade Spirits, a tale of love and pixels from the year 20XX, is on sale for five bucks right now! store.steampowered.com/app/910630/A... But wait, there's more -- its sequel, The New Challengers, is one dollar! One freakin' dollar! Like, what? store.steampowered.com/app/1484620/...

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...

Hey, @itch.io , is our game still shadowbanned because it's queer and anticapitalist and payment processors hate that? Yes, it is? Okay, then we're not participating in your Black Friday Sale you just emailed about. What's the point when you want to pretend our stories don't exist?

Hello I am the non biney artist drawing character for Penny Larceny, Shadow over Cyberspace, and Laugh Track! I spend my free time drawing Baldur's Gate 3 comics starring my half-drow trans guy bard :3 🍄 Comics archive: bg3.mrcrowb.art 🍄 Support/early access: www.patreon.com/c/mistercrow...

Hello, welcome to The Post Trans People Can Reply To With Links To Their Creative Work In Games (Or Whatever) So You Can Read The Replies And Find Cool New Stuff. I'd explain how it works but I'm pretty sure I just did.

"I code so others can dream." Gayming Icon and LGBTQ+ video game pioneer, Rebecca Heineman, has sadly passed away after a short, tough fight with aggressive cancer. Read our obituary to this true industry trailblazer: gaymingmag.com/2025/11/gaym...

Desert Bus For Hope @desertbus.org is about to get rolling for a week-long charity marathon of comedy, weirdness, and cozy mayhem. Several folks from the DBH crew have helped us along the way and we always love giving back to them. Enjoy the stream, donate, and let's bus! www.desertbus.org/2025/

Some of the work I've done includes art for @fictionfactorygames.com, @frazzledrobot.bsky.social, and @asmadigames.bsky.social . Check them out! (Obligatory my opinions are my own and do not reflect those of my clients, but I am of the opinion they're all pretty cool 😛)

Been made by people who love video games.

Did you know? All our games (and about twelve paperback novels!) are tied together, with concepts that bleed over between them. You don't NEED to read/play it all to enjoy any one particular story! But... if you want some spoilers, we've got a document for ya. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Considering Fiction Factory Games technically only has one employee, I'm trying to figure out how I can fire myself for unionizing and then delay my own game and still make billions of sales. Like, that seems to be the gravy train. (I swear this is a corporate account and not my personal snark box)

Friends, fam, followers, and fabulous folks - on behalf of Rising Star (@risingstarpatronage.com) it is my honor to present to you: Beginnings - Rising Star Vol. 1 Releasing on October 24th!!

Hello, game marketing representatives! This is your courteous reminder that if you join our discord and then immediately send me a fabulous offer to market my games, you are getting kicked and banned. Especially if your discord account is two days old, uses an AI avatar, and smells like a bot.

Twitch thinking about implementing AI clipping tool, this means yalls voice is gonna be scraped. You better vote against it. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92471... #twitch

@joycejliu.bsky.social and James take a run at the #LaughTrack demo by @fictionfactorygames.com to hear their work as Juno and Daniel! Thanks again to Drake_Kurama, @lolotovcocktail.bsky.social and @thewaywardgamard.bsky.social for raiding in! You have our gratitude! Here! Have some highlights!!!

We're making posts and figuring out tech an hour before stream. We are super prepared. We're checking out Laugh Track by our friends at @fictionfactorygames.com! Joyce and James - A.K.A. the VO performers for Juno and Daniel - will be live at 7pm PDT! See you there! twitch.tv/daringplayerssquad

Hey! Let’s play the demo of #LaughTrack with @someguy1138.bsky.social and me, the voices of Daniel and Juno! Stream starts at 7PM PDT! I am super prepared! . . . . . (I am super not prepared at all) #laughTrackGame @fictionfactorygames.com #indiedev #indiegame #voiceactor #twitchStreamer

Did you miss my playthrough of the Laugh Track Demo? Well, you can catch it now on Youtube! youtu.be/Hp54WKx9Ygk

The Laugh Track Demo has been patched today. Changes: * Fixes episode credits appearing wrong if using non-comic font * Changes text before ratings point #2 to clarify Management's goals Thanks! On with the show.

It’s the last day of Steam Next Fest, and we have 7 LGBTQ+ game demos you’ll love! Video version here (audio links in 🧵): youtu.be/NDaWoQE26es?...

One day left in #SteamNextFest! Wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave the Laugh Track demo a shot. Don't think the event helped much -- discoverability is still a huge problem for indies, and NextFest is getting too large to work as a spotlight. Fortunately, we don't live or die by game sales.

Yeah, we basically did the Milgram Experiment as a wacky sitcom visual novel. Have fun~

In front of you is a light bulb. If you turn the bulb on, someone will suffer and the audience will laugh. If you smash the bulb to show mercy, you suffer instead. That's show business, baby. Keep those TV ratings high and your skin intact. Easy choice, yeah? store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

You've only got a few days of #SteamNextFest before the demo for Laugh Track goes away FOREVER! ... yeah, no, it's gonna hang around until the full game is released in January. But! You've only got a few days to RIDE THE HYPE TRAIN okay it's more of a hype push cart and it's barely moving BUT STILL

15) Laugh Track | @fictionfactorygames.com | store.steampowered.com/app/3765430 You're the lead writer for Juno's World! Except, there's a cult involved, management is terrible AND THERE IS NO OUT. Not like being canceled on Netflix after a season. Really funny with great visuals.

Final demo for today and it's Laugh Track by the ever incredible @fictionfactorygames.com An extremely on brand story about eldritch entities writing sitcoms. It's very self-aware, cathartically weird, queer as fuck, and if you've played Penny Larceny you have to play this one too

We're celebrating Steam Next Fest by trying out the demo for Laugh Track! Try to guess which character I'm voicing! Courtesy of @fictionfactorygames.com twitch.tv/lolotovcockt... #Vtubers #Vsky #SteamNextFest #LaughTrack

Looking through #SteamNextFest visual novels and, uh, wow, there is a LOT of obvious AI slop in here -- including those devs complaining about people complaining about it. We don't use AI and never will. We love Iris dearly but she's fiction, okay? Don't let AI replace your own creative vision!

Hey, #SteamNextFest! You're now permanently employed as a scriptwriter for a perfectly normal TV sitcom in which nothing weird happens. It's not a front for a world-consuming cosmic horror! Don't even worry about it! The demo for Laugh Track is now available! store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

We will be playing the demo tonight on stream, with live commentary from the developers! (me. I am developers.)

Steam Next Fest is giving us some great stuff to work with! Tomorrow is the Laugh Track demo by @fictionfactorygames.com, then Wednesday is Pathologic 3 by @icepicklodge.bsky.social! I'm hyped as hell! #SteamNextFest

So many RPGs promise queer inclusion... but where are the ace stories? 🖤🤍💜 @miladyconfetti.bsky.social explores why asexuality deserves to be told intentionally, not just left to headcanons. Read the full piece: buff.ly/JIgw4dm #GaymingMag #Asexual #Gaming #Queer
