Wow, hi new followers! 😳 If you don't know me, I'm ✨KT✨ Game Dev, Artist & Storycrafter. Former-ish AMV editor and current Video Game Educator! Currently Writing & Directing @thoughtbreadgames.bsky.social Starbright Agency! I post art here, I talk games, and I love meeting new folks! 💖🎉

I truly believe that despite the seemingly bottomless evil in our fascist enemies, they are few compared to those who love their community and their neighbors. Most people want peace, want equality and fairness. Most people want to make the world better. And I think we will.

Rewatching Sailor Moon S with the spouse, and I gotta say -- the S stands for sapphic 🤌

The things you like doing: do more of them. The things you don't like doing: do less* This is how you develop your style. *If you don't like technicals (ie anatomy, how to code whatever the technical of your field is) you will have to do these at some points. Learn them, then adapt into your style

I'm between jobs and strapped for cash so I opened up a little shop on ko-fi, where you can find a huge Twine Grimoire TUTORIAL+DEV BUNDLE as well as a previously UNRELEASED GAME ‼️ 🪄 Grimoire resources are always free on itch, but donations help support my work. ko-fi.com/grimdev/shop

The Protomen were a revelation -- every concert of theirs I've been to really feels like a religious experience, an all encompassing roleplay where we are both active audience and passive participant to our own fading salvation. Anyway y'all should listen to Act 3 - it's some straight fire 🔥🔥🔥

Magfest Saturday let's goooooo ✨🔥

Okay it's that time of the night when I play MIVs demos....I'll keep a running thread of what I've tried and enjoyed 🤔🌙🎮

So far the highlight of MagFest was the Protomen, and more specifically the prophesized appearance of the Thomas Light Beard.

My resolutions for 2026: 1. Post art once a month, and make more illustrations! 2. Play more games, particularly smaller VNs and my backlog of gifted games made by my amazing friends 3. Practice flow arts and tru to keep to a consistent work out once a week! Let's see how long they last 💫💪

2025 was the most significant year of my life in a lot of ways I can't talk about yet. All good things I returned to my AMV roots, I grew a ton as a gamemaker and I worked hard so SBA can Kickstart next year It's hard to be positive when the world is crumbling, but I'm gonna do my best in 2026 ✨

Gamers. It’s time

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

aight games industry we see from Expedition 33 that players value and love good narratives can games writers and narrative designers stopped being laid off to be replaced by AI orrrr

the game awards never feature anything close to visual novels so I'm going to recommend 20 indie visual novels

I don't understand the Geoff x Miss Piggy ship and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

I want to make more sapphic washi tape 🤔

I've been looking for this resource for some time, delighted to just stumble across it on my feed! ✨ Can't go wrong with the classic "Branch and Bottleneck!" I love the idea of "Loop and Grow" + "Quest" for iterations & unlocking new chunks of the story. SBA is largely B&B, with a bit of Loop! 🪐

Ecclectic tastes but also they explain so much 😅

I saw an artist post once on process: "If you like doing it, do more of it, and if you don't like doing it, do less of it or none at all -- and that's how you find your style" and I've never been the same since.

Super excited to announce the HeartLinks DEMO is now out on Steam!! 🎉 I've been working super hard on this everyday for the last 4 years, and so I'd love if you could check it out! I hope you have fun exploring this wacky school full of quirky characters!

The Greenhearth Necromancer demo is now available! ✨🌱💀 Start your magical journey and: 🌱 Grow & care for a balcony of plants! ✨ Try out some spells, potions, and rituals! 👋 Meet + greet some of your fellow neighbours! + sandbox play, achievements, & more!* ➡ store.steampowered.com/app/2127570/...

The fact that our dumb cowboy from SBA has the same birthday as babygirl Casper from ADWD is hilarious to me...not intended at all

Blerdy makes amazing otome content and supports so many VN devs with her coverage. She's also just ridiculously nice and passionate about games - please support her if you can! ✨🙏

"You two can be the family you were always meant to be, free from the sins of generations past, if you let me do what needs doing." Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 releases in February, on Friday the Thirteenth. A huge shout out to our friends at @smallbu.bsky.social for animating this trailer!

game dev woes

I designed an activity for my Game Design class to teach them how to balance asymmetrical games, and it was apparently such a hit that multiple students from section 1 stopped by to play it again today! ✨🎉

you could be reading yuri right now

New Grand Designs episode aka the closest thing to any game production process I’ve ever seen on tv including any attempt at fiction

There are so many AMVs I could put here ...really Driftroot's Takeout is probably the most influential to my AMV work. But the years turn and this will always be an absolute banger to me (Hal Om Mig is a close second) youtu.be/MAKUVU3grhE

I'm so beyond excited to share what we've been up to on the team - this new demo is going to knock it out the park 💫 ‼️

I have two reviews of SBAs demo - one saying there was too much descriptive text, and the other saying there was too little. 🙃 That being said it DID get me thinking, what is y'all's preference, as devs or players? Do you like more novel-like prose in your VNs or is less is more?

Literally everyone who sees Starbright Agency wants to date Wishbright, and like...same really.

hop on visual novels NOW !! I've gathered 200+ romance-themed visual novels from 100+ developers across the globe and categorized them by romance type, genre, mechanics, amount of love interests, and more. NO EXCUSES TO NOT PLAY ROMANCE VNS ANYMORE!!! store.steampowered.com/sale/fallinl...

a story that gets bogged down in the details. peat fiction

Hey, that's us in the Fall in Love Festival!!! 🤩💞 If you haven't already, now is a great time to play our FREE Demo and Wishlist the game on Steam! We'd love to know what you think! 💖✨💫 thoughtfulbread.com/demo

I'm going to try and play some of my VN Demo backlog this week for the Fall in Love Festival and share my thoughts ✨💕 There are so many good games in the lineup!

I finally 100%+ Hollow Knight and beat it all the way through before Silksong, and my favorite part of the game was Hornet yelling "Get Good!" before I had to fight the Radiance

Starbright Agency will be part of @vnstudioelan.com 's Fall in Love Steam Festival starting this week on September 24th! 🪐💫🌌 You can check out our demo on Steam, see our trailer in the showcase, and keep your eyes peeled for a special announcement towards the end of the show 👀 ✨

Say it 👏 LOUDER 👏 for the people in the back!!! Yaoi and Yuri are great, but there is such a beautiful spectrum of queer relationships that should also be shown, uplifted, and celebrated within storytelling.

Sending emails to streamers for an upcoming festival, and just realized that for half of their subject lines I definitely wrote "Steaming Starbright Agency" 🥹💀

Artists! Show an old piece that you still love! (Still one of my favorite drawings of Din! 🃏)

As a former competitive AMV editor and now full-time game dev this feels like the weirdest crossover 😂

I'm at NDK this weekend visiting friends and this is the first time in 7 years I'm at a convention NOT working 😳

Want to play the 1st half of our next yuri game and support us while doing so? ✨ The beta for our magical girl yuri visual novel Lock & Key: A Magical Girl Mystery will be going on for a couple more weeks! You can play the 1st half of the game now: www.patreon.com/posts/lock-k...

I felt so seen during the Air Ride Direct
