I think being a writer is just rapidly flip-flopping between "this is the worst thing I've ever written and a better writer should write me being guillotined" and "I'm a pretty okay writer" depending on the phase of the moon

I love yuri video games

Moebius D & J were ROBBED of official art, so here’s my unofficial attempt at delivering. #xenoblade

Good news to the Bent College Diploma megafans out there. Bad news to everyone else.

I hate kiss scenes so much. Why do people write these? Better yet—why did I write these? Why did I do this to myself?

gals & pals you're not gonna believe this. it's women wednesday again

I don't.... want this...

Waltz of the Espers #waspoc #waspart

I started bawling when going through the Heart of the Woods CG gallery and listening to the music. Absolutely wonderful; what sapphic/yuri should be. My takeaway from the game is is that "trans women have as much value as other women." I really needed that right now. What a lovely, amazing story.

This is a cat checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. IDK what his deal is

Xenoblade X Definitive Edition DEFINITIVE! I couldn't help but think this xD #XenobladeChroniclesX #XenobladeX

Seeing the reactions to the Xenoblade X upgrade pack costing $5... People really don't value development work, do they? I'm one person and I'm almost tearing my hair out trying to migrate between Unity versions for a visual novel. Coding and bugfixing and porting is harder than you'd think!

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out! feniksdev.itch.io/immersive-pa...

Yesterday was the first day since 2024 that I haven't written or worked on a visual novel at all. It was weird. Writing and video games have been basically my only hobby since — god, college? So that's 2016? I think I need to start going to classes or something....

I bought Heart of the Woods because it's on sale for $7.99 USD and I needed something for my flight. I have learned a few things: - Sapphics can get laid if they have a wingwoman bestie - Ghosts are cute - I squeal more at romance than I do at sex scenes store.steampowered.com/app/844660/H...

There's so many statues of big imposing figures and strange architecture, and everyone is honking. What is this place....

if you want to support visual novel devs: - wishlist our games on Steam - leave reviews / ratings for them on store platforms - tell friends about our games - recommend them to streamers to play - share posts on social media - tell a developer you enjoy their work

I asked the staff of a game/movie store if I could take photos of their shop for a game I'm making. I then clarified it's a visual novel and they said "I know." Do.... Do I look like a visual novel developer? What does that mean...?

The cats don't want me to go to Chicago and lick the bean

I didn't forget lunch just so you could steal my dinner

Do you think a store viewing history can say "I'm a lesbian" more than this

Going to play this shit out of this game.

LIGHTNING ROUND (because I forgot to post more oops) Dahlia by Crystal Game Works! Really impressive and cute with multiple paths. Short, but incredible staging, and done in under 36 hours. Link: crystalgameworks.itch.io/dahlia

I decided to descale my espresso machine. There's gotta be a more efficient way to do this

It's never too late - to reply to the message you forgot - to call back if you missed a call - to get into a hobby - to leave a situation etc. etc. Also only apologize for things you did wrong or if you hurt someone. Over-apologizing can make you feel worse about yourself

I fixed the text rendering

I've realized lately that I say "that was really funny" as a replacement for "that was kind of pathetic". For example, the other day I said that it was very funny that I forgot to eat all day. I'm not sure if this realization was really funny or kind of pathetic.

I want to reach into his mouth for the popcorn and be able to feel a realistic throat while I do it

Why the are they babies. What. I know it's a Yoshi's Island reference, obviously, but why? Anyway, the trailer looks okay! I think the novelty of a Mario movie has worn off a bit for me. I'm sure it'll be enjoyable in theaters. I hope they manufacture a just disgusting Yoshi popcorn bucket.

It's done. A crash course on growing your followers and engagement rate for new Bluesky users, particularly VTubers. A lot of Twitter VTubers struggle to grow on Bluesky since they use algorithm-based growth tricks... those don't work here! Here's what does nsfw.leaflet.pub/3md7uyxr3t22y

hey whoever bought this on my ko-fi shop just now i put it there to test how ko-fi storefronts work with my friend. theres no item. im sorry. thanks for letting me know tho

Hi. I went thrifting and it was great advice. I just talked to my parents about what great advice it was. Read this thread — I got a nice jacket.

Studying for my CompTIA Security+. Is this a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 reference?

Well, it does look better. (Psst, eventually posts on Swapped Flames will come from @sapphicore.com when I get that up and running! Don't worry, I'll quote post them here, too.)

I was shown this talk on creative envy and I can't stop thinking about it. Every time I see something really good, I am struck with: "I could have done that. Why am I doing what I am instead of THAT? Why do I suck?" Anyway, I am not reading Umineko. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Mb...

Exorcising loneliness

Xenoblade cutscene production flowchart from the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Soundtrack Deluxe Edition Booklet

To be clear, I'm working on it.

I recently joined a visual novel dev community and I've realized how many excellent stories I've missed out on due to my undue shaming of the word "yuri" (I thought it would be appropriative if I used it). I want to read about more adult women romancing each other. I am a lesbian. Thank you.

I was reminded I never posted the SWAK Jam banner on bsky! Psst~ If you want a print of this or other Merch based Devtalk banners, you can get it on the VNDN Merch shop! All proceeds go right back to the Devtalk community! ✨ merch.visualnovel.dev/products/swa...

Confidently told the barista that the song playing at the coffee shop was "I'm Han Solo" and was amazed that the song was available for licensing. ...it was "Ridin' Solo" by Jason Derulo. Jabba was NOT mentioned.

Living with cats is just living with three little furry gremlins that demand your attention at different times of the day in varying annoying ways. "oh, Eve is eating USB-C cables." "oh, Midnight is jumping on the door handle." "oh, Mio making me pet her while she runs around" I love them

I don't care how many Xenoblade references are in it or friends are playing it. You're not convincing me to play FFXIV — I have jobs to apply for!!

I have a confession: Despite developing multiple VNs, I have not actually played many visual novels, especially yuri ones. I am rectifying that right now. First up — How May I Direct Your Curse! screen-savor-studios.itch.io/how-may-i-di...
