Oh hey. The author stuff I do has a book up for preorder. Please consider getting it since the VN is on hold for the foreseeable future.

Wherein I put the Patreon for this game on hold as I am losing confidence in the ability for adult, queer, trans, or sex-positive media to be funded under the current political and moral climate. www.patreon.com/posts/projec...

I'm not saying you should sign up for my newsletter if you want to keep getting updates on what I do. It would be nice though. And it'd be a nice fallback to have if something happens to BlueSky, as I literally have nowhere else anymore. newsletter.anotherindiewriter.com

If you're not already following this Kickstarter, please do so. Especially if you love visual novels, yuri, and amazingly written stories.

for my IF community followers, i've got a new edition of the IF Weekly Roundup out! tabitha-if.neocities.org/wr_8-23-25

In less than 20 minutes, Plot Twist Cafe will have less than a week to go before its Kickstarter ends. Please. If you have the funds. Please consider giving to support the creation of a new LGBTQIA+ friendly inclusive bookstore and coffee shop in NW Missouri. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bai...

It is time. August 8-10. Support 9 indie authors. Get 16 books for $25. All our Itch rev share is at 0%. And, for every 5 bundles bought, Nova the baby gets a present. I'll even spot you her first one. 🧡🧡 Baby's first chainsaw 🧡🧡 #writingcommunity 🌈🚀💫 #booksky #authors 🌈📚 itch.io/b/3217/we-do...

Check out the campaign and help open a 🏳️‍🌈 and indie focused bookstore smack dab in the middle of the Midwest! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bai...

Building back trust will take time. This is a good first step.

Hey #writingcommunity You should consider helping to fund and support the new bookstore @bailswrites.bsky.social is opening. It's in an area that's very limited in terms of indie book stores and she's done so much to support queer and indie authors. 🌈📚 #booksky www.kickstarter.com/projects/bai...

A post discussing the future of Starting Over on Itch.io. In short - I'm moving the game off of Itch because I am no longer confident the platform is a safe place for queer creators to create and share adult content. And I worry queer content will follow salamandersixstudios.itch.io/starting-ove...

Hi everyone I've put together a guide for generating patches for NSFW/Adult content in Ren'Py games Given current events, I'm hoping this is useful to someone Feedback/comments/thoughts greatly appreciated! docs.google.com/document/d/1... #IndieGameDev #VNDev #GameDev #RenPy

a collection of my trans IF itch.io/c/5556429/tr...

So. It would appear that Starting Over got caught up in Itch's shadowban shenanigans. The game is still there and playable, but only directly. If you'd like to support the game's development, please consider supporting on Patreon instead. www.patreon.com/c/salamander...

Tagging @beanieworks.bsky.social for the gorgeous work she does.

Y'all! This artist is amazing!!! Let's give 'em some love!!! I can't believe they barely have 20 followers on here!! #artsky #plugyourartist

HELLO DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY SAPPHIC CHARACTERS ACROSS MY STORIES AND GAMES? Of course you do. This will cover the Azaes Realm series, my game I'm writing as @salamandersixstudios.itch.io, and the CYOA story I wrote publicly on the bird site back in 2019 (as perhaps it'll get something soon)

Down to ~1,000 lines left. Then I can start on what will be the rest of the next round's updates.

🏳️‍🌈The finished Pride Flag🏳️‍🌈 Thank you all so much for participating, in what is my biggest drawing to date. 55 characters (57 if you count Gary and Pooky) on an 8K canvas! I would really appreciate it if you could share this, so I can show everyone how amazing this community is 💜. #Art #Pride

Hello, there! I'm Pri, an indiedev and writer from Argentina who loves telling stories! Currently, I'm looking for work while I work on my own projects during my free time! I have 5+ years of experience writing and making games! 🌟 My games 🍒 Carrd 🌟 Ko-Fi 🍒 Vgen 📧 prikarin.owl(at)gmail(dot)com

Only ~3,000 lines of code left to update art assets for. Considering I started at nearly 20k, this has been a while coming

omg this is popping the fuck off. Please do this for me. Go support the bundles in this thread: bsky.app/profile/clh2... And go buy my personal Pride bundle: itch.io/s/154012/pri... My bundle is great. Supporting the ones with so many queer authors and books is MORE important.

Killer Trait's new demo has just been released!! Would you ally with a serial killer to get revenge on your worst enemy? prikarin.itch.io/killer-trait #killertrait #visualnovel #prikaringames #vndev

Apparently Starting Over is at almost 2,500 plays on Itch (56 to go). I promise I'm working on stuff. I make progress on streams, but said progress is, admittedly slow. We're getting there. It's just taking a bit. (If you want to play the current version: salamandersixstudios.itch.io/starting-over)

Well. We got to 13 yesterday. And I will NOT let it end on that number. Please go buy some of my stickers, bookmarks, pins, or books. I would greatly appreciate it. I've been wildly confusing the post office staff with how frequently they see me. Help me continue this. ko-fi.com/anotherindie...

Go support the writing books side of my creative work, if you'd be so kind

I know I haven’t drawn him much lately (I’m sure I will soon) but I just realized it’s already been over two years since I first drew Lemon! I was feeling a bit nostalgic, so please enjoy the original Lemon doodles with me. 🍋 🔪

For the second time today, I saw back to back posts on my timeline, one that said BlueSky was dying, one that said it was not. What in the Schrodinger's fuck are you all on about? Just horny post on main, sell your shit, be kind to each other, and be just a little weird.

Art code updates are still happening, albeit slower than I anticipated. Got about 700 lines of code done last night. Hoping to get a couple thousand done this week off and on.

Oh. Hey. Reminder while I'm currently working on other projects -- I have a Patreon. Supporting me on there allows me to devote more time to working on the game and allows me to focus less on other stuff. www.patreon.com/c/salamander...

Available from now till the end of May, 4 Itch bundles featuring books that deal with mental health/mental illness! Link goes to the one with mine in it (sometime soon I'll make a thread talking about the mental health rep in the book), but scroll down to browse the others: tinyurl.com/2025MHSFF1

Doing this for the various relationship and friendship pairing in Starting Over. I'm going to start with Harper's potential relationships, but there's enough funny friendship ones that I think it'd be funny to address them. 🧵

I don't mention it often -- largely because I've been working on other projects lately -- but I do have a Patreon you can support for the game. Monthly support helps me pay for my artist to do more art for the game, so any money goes right back into the game. www.patreon.com/c/salamander...

Meta stole my books as part of their AI training. They're saying the books they stole were essentially worthless. So. For the next four days, I'm running a reverse sale on my books on Itch. All my books cost more. Because fuck you, Meta, that's why. itch.io/s/151520/hey...

Started an emergency fundraising goal on Ko-Fi. I'll make it short and sweet: I don't have any food in the house right now, and I had to help pay for my dog's vet visit today. Looking to raise $152 so I can recover from the vet, but also get groceries and order food ASAP. ko-fi.com/husbandogodd...

Not me spending 30 minutes trying to fix one thing in my code because I didn't realize my gui was setting a background image in two different places.

Oh hey. New blog post talking about Starting Over's current status, when the next release will (theoretically) come out, and why it's taken me so long to do anything. itch.io/blog/915489/...

Check out my author account because I'm crazy close to FINALLY breaking even on a book I've had out for over 4 years

Did you know you can support Starting Over on Patreon? If so, how? I almost never promote it Anyway...nothing neat up there yet. But if you do want to support the game's development, you can. www.patreon.com/c/salamander...

Happy International Women's Day! As a solo female developer, I'd love if you played my game today. It's still very much a work in progress and I'm working to the next release. But until then! salamandersixstudios.itch.io/starting-over

For three days only (Mar 1-Mar 3), you can get 30 sapphic spec fiction books by 21 different authors for just $50. I'm so excited for my books to be part of this bundle with so many other talented authors. I'd love to see it succeed. 🧡🦄📚 #booksky 🌈📚 #writingcommunity 🌈🚀💫 itch.io/b/2859/sapph...

Well. This is surreal. Kotov Syndrome is currently #4 on Itch for top selling sci-fi books. It's also #32 overall in top sellers. I know it's incredibly unlikely, especially for a four year old book. But can it get to #1 in category? #booksky 🌈📚 anotherindiewriter.itch.io/kotov-syndrome

Guess what. There's Rina art that'll be in the next release. Let the demi/gray matchmaker help you on your quest for romance...or maybe try to romance her yourself? salamandersixstudios.itch.io
