As someone who once also published my (amateur) compilation on itch, i- *reposts* ... okay, yeah, I deal with some religious trauma too

i forgot to tag. sorry, im very upset at the constant rejections and now the scam at the same time this isnt urgent or anything like that i just need to work 😭 #VNDev #indiedev #gamedev

also, talk about #solottrpg... I finally finished one I've been working on for a while :'3 sbhunter.itch.io/alchemist-di... #ttrpg #indiedev #alchemist #solojournalling #solorpg It's pretty simple, but I hope someone can have fun with it nonetheless >w<

another #TTRPG I tried out recently is this: akavel.itch.io/wanderer what I like best from the game is that it got "motif tables" that you can fill on your own, making the game like a hotpot in which you can throw in anything and everything you like :3c #solottrpg #indiedev

Today, I finally finished reading Zeynep Tufekci's article about why GoT's last season SUCKS. It covers about sociological storytelling and why it's important to have more of them in our culture. www.scientificamerican.com/blog/observa... #GoT #storytelling #creativewriting #culture #TIL

so, those were my research material. it's been quite fun to learn and find new games. I don't know when my own game would be finished, but...

I saved my fav as the last... the Princess World Academy Adventure! It's like magical girl and magic school cross over game and it's fabulous as fuck *-*)b bjkwhite.itch.io/princess-aca... #TTRPG #magicschool #magicalgirls #roleplayinggame #PbtA #tabletopgaming #tabletoproleplaying

3rd of 4, the OAMA! Way more light-hearted, with many fun student backgrounds to choose from, and fun characters dynamics/relationship to play with! A queer positive game uwu)b dubdubpub.itch.io/the-osterman... #TTRPG #PbtA #magicschool #tabletoproleplaying #tabletopgaming

Second on my list is this: Arcane Academy. If you like HarryPotter-esque adventure of solving mysteries with a group of friends, then this is your game! A very fiction-first game with simple mechanics, and customizable traits and spells tabletop.itch.io/arcana-academy #TTRPG #magicschool #PbtA

All the games I got on the list (there are 4 of them) will mostly be PbtA games, as the game I want to make is also more story-driven rather than battle crunchy or simulation. And the first on the list is: Dusk Academy. skullerymaids.itch.io/dusk-academy #TTRPG #magicschool #PbtA #Forgedinthedark

I've been kinda engrossed in... a "study" these days... because I have an idea for a TTRPG, and my autistic brain can't do it without some RESEARCH! So, I'll be posting some cool games I found on my research, since my game will be about magic school the games will be about them too :3c

We're excited to announce the Games for Palestine charity page is now LIVE on Itch. Over 300+ games with proceeds going to UNRWA USA in support of Gaza relief. Thank you to everyone for your support. The bundle launches on Sept 2nd 9am PST. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Asexual friendly options??! And no bad choices or endings??!!?! You got my attention 👀 #otomegame #indiedev #visualnovel #asexualgame

I want to create a database of EU-based #nsfw games that includes payment infos so people can manually purchase games via wire. No idea if this makes any sense or will work but I want to do something. Submit your game: tally.so/r/nrM05R Database: cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sh... #gamedev #indiedev

A new petition spearheaded by prominent German journalists and game developers has gathered over a thousand signatures in the first day. Like other emerging protests, it aims at payment processors to take the pressure from store fronts selling adult games. www.gamesmarket.global/en/business/...

Currently playing: mkirin.itch.io/iron-valley I just found this yesterday and I. Am. BLOWN. I finally can play a cozy farm sim with all my IFS as the townies!! #indiedev #ttrpg #ironvalley

also also. I just made a jam for peeps who wanted to make Visual Novel asset but missed the big MVNA jam a little while ago. Here you go: itch.io/jam/vn-asset... #vndev #indievn #gamedev

So... I've been asked for Price List before, so I finally compiled some! These the price which I think is the standard in the market, but you can negotiate them. I'm more than willing to discuss what amount or form of payment that could work :3 #freelancing

Yes, sir, I know how to write games #twine #IF #gamedev #indiegame sbhunter.itch.io/the-protecto...

Israel Admits It Violated The Ceasefire And Hamas Did Not So it’s been established beyond a doubt that Israel is to blame for the precarious state of the ceasefire today. That’s not coming from me, it’s coming from inside the Israeli government and military. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-adm...

Ooh the art style is somehow reminiscence of Rumiko Takahashi style (i hope i spelt that right). Me broke but me likey, so repost it is :3c

Anyhooo- Happy New Year! I don't have new year resolution, am never good with that, but my wish for next year is to get more games and story published in the next year, even if just one or two, and to be able to earn pocket money on my own. Maybe then I can learn to actually earn a living.

I become an example to people of how ableist the current system of society is, though to most people I just appear like an example of "wasted potential." Hell yeah my potential is wasted, but not by my own active choice, you think roses could want to never bloom on purpose given the right soil?

if you want extra ways to support indie developers, and easy way to do so is leaving reviews on Steam & itchio! these reviews / ratings help games out in the algorithms and show other players that they're worth playing.

Gah! I've promised to share about this WEEKS ago, and I just remembered to do it now, I feel a bit awful ;w;) Story is: one of the game writers in our local community needs help with her medical bill. Here's the link, and the story to it: ko-fi.com/s/9f5c281a4e #SEAgamedev #indiedev

I've just seen her for few seconds, but I love her too. Please send my regards in pats and smooches for her uwu)b

cool idea for a gift! owo)b I might look into the replies again later, and maybe drop my own pen-and-paper(?) roleplaying game in the reply later. boosting this for the #ttrpg enthusiasts

Oh hey, Twine! I used that to sketch stories sometimes, or experiments with text based games. Fun stuffs uwu)b

Today's #neurodivergent thought of the day. I just finally connected my social incapability to inject myself into ongoing conversation, with my inability to inject myself to the running work world. (I suspect myself to be on the autistic spectrum)

*puts this in the to-be-played list* ohgod, this list just keeps growing like hydra heads. But it looks (unsettlingly) relatable, and the play time looks short enough.

another one looking cute and interesting #gamedev :3c I'm always interested in games where you build settlements/community

antidepressants

This looks like it's going to be a delicious VN. good luck, and have fun uwu)b

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK. You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

Diving back in to writing some incredibly intense chapters for my mature indie visual novel today! Shout out to everyone out there creating stories that embolden our understanding of the dark. (I am absolutely also telling myself this to gather the courage to do justice to such hectic content 😭👍)

heads up new 🌶️ creators! Using alt text for your photos gets them a lot more range. A lot of people won't share photos w/out it. you can get settings to require text before you post. if you just can't for whatever reason, use #AltForMe (please ignore) & a human will come describe it. 🖤🧡

Reposting my FREE paper texture pack on here! It contains 16 high res files (scans of my art paper/sketchbooks) and can be downloaded from my kofi! ✨ ko-fi.com/s/acff7a1bd2 ✨ They're all free to use in both personal and commercial projects 💖

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

Those of you who don't do game design full time, what's your regular job? How has it influenced your work?

Do you know that I have a free sprite that you can download for your #visualnovel? Download here: altila.booth.pm/items/6262053 altila.itch.io/free-male-sp... #assets

And well, talk about editing your narration... *shuffles nervously* I finally posted my job ads. This egg is officially open for commission: VN/game script proofreading and editing and etc. Rate is VERY negotiable. 🐣 #indiedev #visualnovel #vndev sbhunter.carrd.co

Today is the second time I meet (chat) with someone who wants to make a game, and would love to get someone help with it—but they don't seem to be able to communicate their ideas well. Like. I'm no expert in the industry, but I believe it's an important skill to have.

Hey folks! Valencia Spain has suffered the worst natural disaster in its history and needs all our support. Please read the original post and join the solidarity bundle by registering your games! #rolporvalencia #osr #ttrpg
