Now going live with Jasmine Page to play the Penny Larceny demo and discuss being gay and doing crimes! twitch.tv/neka_kohai

Wednesday night at 7pm Eastern we'll be live at twitch.tv/neka_kohai with Jasmine Page @neka-kohai.bsky.social to talk about Penny Larceny! Be gay, do crimes.

It is time. Raise the banners! Draw your blades! For it is GAY WRATH MONTH! ...what? Pride? Hrmm. Less exciting. Can we have a little wrath anyway? It feels appropriate. Anyway, go play our very queer games some of which are totally free okay thanks www.fictionfactorygames.com

Laugh Track v1.5 released. This fixes a few typos and adjusts the end credits to add the name of our next game~ This will likely be the last update unless a bug pops up. We're full steam ahead on our next project! But please share Laugh Track with friends, it's free and fun and we're proud of it.

Penny Larceny: Gig Economy Supervillain is ON SALE in The Storyteller's Festival on Steam! For less than five bucks you can pet cats and do crimes. From the creators of Arcade Spirits! store.steampowered.com/app/2227030/...

Oh boy! We got offered ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the complete IP and publishing rights to Penny Larceny! Now we can finally afford that heart medication! Indie devs, no matter how unprofitable your game is (and penny is NOT profitable) do not stoop to this. Odds are it'd get ground up for AI anyway.

Question: Do you use the dyslexia-friendly font option in our games? Research seems to indicate it doesn't work very well, but we don't want to remove an accessibility option we've supported for years without checking with the community first.

Also, just look at these goofballs. I love them so much

This game rocks btw. The way the second book, Story Scenarios, applies the systems introduced in the rulebook is great and shows you just how flexible this game is. The same system that you use to track rent in one game can be used for ammo and fuel in another or TV ratings in another.

Email we just got: "You should list your game on our new game platform focused on NFT, AI, and cryptocurrency!" Us: "No. Go die in a hole. You are part of the problem." ...we write very professional corporate emails, yes, very much so

What's been happening at the office(s) of Fiction Factory Games lately? 🤔 Preproduction on our next game (after a lengthy creative block and reboot) 💸 Eagerly awaiting the next sale event 🙏 Hoping senpai will notice us and a game spikes in popularity 🥺 All of the horrible everything 🧱 Lego!

"you need to start a TikTok" was pretty much the start and end of the advice we paid thousands of dollars to a useless marketing firm for. We have not started a TikTok. We make narrative games, not wacky short form viral videos. If that means languishing in obscurity, so be it.

"Man up, AI is in every game" my dude it is so easy not to have AI in your game: just don't use it. It's not like mysterious gnomes sneak into your computer at night and install it in your game for you. www.pcgamer.com/games/action... Anyway, The City Unseen launches tomorrow. Zero AI used.

Yo, this sale includes Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. The game whose polyamory route I advised on! Which, for how small a part of everything it is, is still something I'm damn proud of!

Laugh Track: Promcoming finale! twitch.tv/lolotovcockt... #Vtubers #VisualNovels #FictionFactoryGames #LaughTrack

Want to roleplay an 80s action movie? Try "Streets of Mayhem." You are Alex Drake, grizzled veteran and former soldier from New Detroit, where drug gangs ride motorbikes and have AK-47s. Protect plucky reporter Gloria Freeman and take down Mr. Big. A scenario from The City Unseen, coming Mar 25.

Good morning, patrons! At 7:30pm Central, @forneiavtuber.bsky.social and I will be finished Laugh Track in what will surely be a Very Normal Promcoming! See you then! #Vtubers #FictionFactoryGames #LaughTrack

Just finished Arcade Spirts and Arcade Spirits: New Challengers from @fictionfactorygames.com. Lovely writing, solid character development, and a fun take on one of my favorite modern urban legends. Well done! I recommend the duology (and hope it will be a trilogy).

From the Penny Larceny scenario in The City Unseen! To determine your superpower, roll a d20 twice and let us know in the replies what your cool new ability really is.

Updated the Fiction Factory Games website, with links to Laugh Track, the City Unseen, our socials, our Discord, and more! Hey, kids, remember when the Internet wasn't just like five different websites? Remember having your own website? Good times. www.fictionfactorygames.com

Okay. Did my first Prelude for my solo roleplay with the preview copy of The City Unseen by @fictionfactorygames.com and... I'm having so much fun! Gods, with all the characters I've come up with in Pathfinder, I'm glad that I can use this to play with them instead of letting them sit and rot~

"The world is burned and done, vanishing in nuclear fire. The old ways perished with those who refused to move and groove with the times. Now all that remains is to party in the corpse of that dead empire, and have some EPIC DANCE BATTLES!" Yeah, we do post-apocalyptic TTRPG a bit differently.

Did you miss the latest stream of Laugh Track? Well, it's up on Youtube now! youtu.be/6coXM_WF0QI #Vtubers #FictionFactoryGames #VisualNovel #LaughTrack

"The world outside the city is a desolate land, but we are protected. The Regime provides, secures, endures. All who try to break this iron grip are crushed, but that doesn't stop subversives from trying..." Play an Orwellian Dystopia scenario in The City Unseen, on Mar 25. We swear it's fiction.

After a cocaine-powered wizard battle got way out of hand in the 1970s, Nocturne has been soaked in darkness. The sun never rises, the moon never sets, the stars always shine... Just one of many scenarios you can play in The City Unseen, coming Mar 25. fictionfactorygames.itch.io/the-city-uns...

It is time, poppets! Going live now to look over this solo TTRPG by @fictionfactorygames.com! It's honestly been a while since I last talked about a solo TTRPG. This should be fun! Find the Path here: www.twitch.tv/runia_da_witch #TheCityUnseen #TTRPGs #VTuberEN

Today's Indiescovery review: Every now and then, a fresh breeze blows through the stale, overly-familiar halls of R'lyeh. It's The Shadow Over Cyberspace by @fictionfactorygames.com! indiescoverygames.wordpress.com/2026/03/11/t...

I'm Aenne (they/ them). I'm a narrative designer/writer & I've been in the industry for 15 years. Haven't had a chance to go to GDC (yet). I make queer visual novels: Arcade Spirits & First Bite. And I do consulting & contract writing (The World Next Door). I love romance! #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
