got the core functionality of the web engine built out #toxicyurivnjam

I just realized...... By basing Ember's design off of a model kit (*that I already own*), it wouldn't be too hard to make a custom of her............

Hi! Director & programmer of Offsuit Pair here, this game was for exactly that niche, ahahaha. The whole design intent behind it was to put the player in the shoes of a FKMT manga protagonist. I elaborate on this more (and directly cite some pages from Akagi) in the postmortem ^^

oh hey I know that someone @hamaonoverdrive.online

I'm not gonna be telling people not to use neocities, but putting all your eggs in one basket is antithetical to the advantages of the non-copro-run internet. You should always have a local copy of your site, just in case you gotta pack up and move somewhere else.

Early this morning, we received an email from @namecheap.com that the domain neocities.org was being suspended because of a court order from New Delhi, India (a jurisdiction we don't operate in), which was for an unrelated court order about a sports streaming site on a different domain.

so many artists are like this and it is NOT CUTE it is time for you to FAKE BEING COOL AND POPULAR until you ARE COOL AND POPULAR

Happy pride month please consider playing our video game about bisexual implications and also killing people. Killing person.

I really wanna know who linked BDSiM on fuckin Facebook. There are still actual humans on that platform?

This is why I do my VN dev on a Lenovo T420 👍

I think we're already at the point where Idea People are getting filtered from the people who actually make things in the jam fluxer

This is real btw

Everyone has psychosexual trauma, it came free with your fucking xbox

Running into a situation where renpy's default behavior is Wrong (AND you can't fix it by changing a configuration variable) for the first time and I want to start throwing bricks at people

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hetk... please watch this and tell me all these games are the same

Honestly, the #TYVNJ2 theme is just a big, flashing red arrow towards "this is the type of story the judges like". In retrospect, "psychosexual trauma" is absolutely the common thread between the judge's games + the winners from last year. People in the space were already writing this.

people in the fluxer "I wish the theme was more lighthearted" are you fr rn?? 😭 what jam did you think this was

Moving forward with intended plans 🤭

Bringing back LRS because it has stuff even I didn't know in it

To start off my fresh account, I've compiled a few Ren'Py tips into a bite-sized format! I've been programming in Ren'Py since 2018 and spent a ton of time working with it for all sorts of projects. Here are some less-common bits of knowledge ✨ #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev #renpy

never let a platform or payment processor make you believe your art cant have wide appeal. fuck everyone trying to limit who can see your art, then tries to gaslight you into thinking the lack of reach is your fault. your art can be and is meaningful to more people than you think.

>makes long thread >posts it >typo in first post Whateverrrrr I'm not reposting that whole thing

btw yall should make a website, regardless of whatever dumb socmed decision goes live next

Avast, the waters rise again! It is that time of day, that time of month, that time of the HIGH TIDE VN REVIEW ZINE: thetidepool.itch.io/high-tide-vo...

Okay, with the second Toxic Yuri VN Jam about to start, here's my thread of Tips for new devs ✨ These are focuses on things that are fairly unique to the medium of VNs, and that I've seen a looot of new devs botch. Fixing these small things early on will make your work a LOT more cohesive! 🧵

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

Small new blog post up hamaonoverdrive.online/2026/05/30/W...

📣 does anyone know anyone writing about visual novels? high tide is wonderful and on my radar, and i love kastel's blog, but i'm not sure what else is out there for writing! (not YT videos, although i do also love those)

There's a reason why these animations were the last thing I drew in the damn demo

The shade of red for BDSiM is "#E60000", which is E6000 (glue) * 10: symbolic of the many horses you will kill to get a successful run

I went to weaponized nostalgia island and everyone there was a shade, a fragmentary memory, a distortion. And they were mad at me

definitive-ventide is officially in beta testing 🥳 giving it space for now so the script can breathe while i finish the cgs and enter into an esoteric gooner tyvnj flowstate and also so i dont have an urge to retroactively fix shit like i always do. so so happy with it so please look forward to it!

whoah!!!! do no harm reached 1000 downloads! kind of terrifying but also very cool, thank you to everyone who played! figurashape.itch.io/do-no-harm

No one else could write BDSiM and that's why I must make it..!

Thinking "toxic yuri" is a narrow theme is fundamentally a skill issue
