www.vekari.net hey bestiesssss update coming soon. but if you visit gareth you can get a chip in your head that will keep you from being easily manipulated by a mean scary white man! #indiegamedev #theworldofvekari #vekariremotebypass #indiegaming #gamedev #vekari

Hey everyone, so life happened. And I am very unsure if or when either of my projects the smaller one or larger one will be finished or available for demo. I took scope creep and shot myself in the foot with it. I thought I could do it and I apologize for letting you guys down. - 👻

Check out this TTRPG! It is so easy and simple and is almost completely customizable! #ttrpg #TTRPGsofBluesky #ttrpgsky #vekarittrpg #indiegm #indiegame #itchio

Also one of my favourite random quotes: "The brain chip is Alden's Costco hot dog"

Alright since nobody claimed it and it is a new day I can finally reveal who he is by posting one of the funniest in-character Vekari interactions on this app

74 pages, final count before covers which can be done later, as printing books is not in the budget rn HOWEVER! This means you can finally have the full PDF, and I can start working on homemade physicals. Is done. Enjoy inkusalters.itch.io/vekari-ttrpg #TTRPG #VekariTTRPG #indiegame #majorupdate

Oh yeah btw Vekari is not the only game getting physical copies for pride Very small run of 2 carts (my third shell came damaged ✌️😔) with more later, they will go up in my Ko-Fi on the 6th if they do not sell in person inkusalters.itch.io/poltersprite #indiegame #ghost #horror #gameboy #retro

The key gets you the full game! Zines + the 74-page more in depth PDF. Spinners are free to download! Also if you are a member on my Ko-Fi, you get first dibs on the cassette cases. They went up last night. They go public on the 6th! ko-fi.com/s/d4ff6e2ded

Day 15 of free Vekari #TTRPG keys! Today's question is: Who frames you (the players) for attempted murder? First to comment the correct answer will get today's key! Answers can be found at vekari.net 🪐 No key claimed yesterday, good luck! #VekariTTRPG #indiegame #TTRPGCommunity #giveaway #pride

I will be putting up a series of small updates throughout the week to catch up as I'm behind on updating this, took a break after the Poltersprite grind. Lots of quests to update 👀

How this works: • Read the story parts posted for each character • Cast a vote on the poll at the end of each one to help the characters decide what to do next • Explore the site and wait a couple weeks for me to check the results and post the next set of story parts

Vekari's 6th set of story parts is up and open to vote on! Help Acro, Enoch, and Iliana decide what to do next Oh, and, try not to kill Kori. Thanks. vekari.net/story.php #gamedev #indiegame #textbasedgame #browsergame #booksky #openpoll #story

Each part is only about a 5 minute read tops, it's free This entire game is like one big TTRPG open to anyone, but on a website. You are the players, I (the dev) am the GM. It is messy and weird and fun and we're all progressing this story together, part by part, quest by quest.

It is HIGHLY addictive and must be used with caution. Also finding a clean source is important as some scrappers will lace it with spare bathroom chemicals so they can loot your body later! There are businesses that will check supply for free if asked to help prevent the risk of death.

Purple Ghostvine is a waxy substance that users melt down and inject into themselves and is used widely for pain relief, certain immune system disorders, recreationally, and, in the case of Iliana and Kori, in lab experiments to see if it can be used to help treat severe mental disorders. 🧵

So glad you asked! In Vekari, there are a few pain relief options from direct suppression of pain responses in the nervous system using specially tuned cyberware, to certain spells, to a commonly used street drug called Purple Ghostvine. 🧵

I joined this PWYW bundle on itch with a bunch of other very cool disabled creators, please take a moment to check it out! You can get my little jelly character model with a bunch of other games, assets, and stories! itch.io/b/3015/disab... #disabled #indiegame #assets #games #booksky #ttrpg

Haunted Carnival is here! Enjoy a whole new map with 8 unique rooms, 3 new ghost types, a new piece of equipment, a complete rework of the inventory and journal, some additional accessibility features, and Boxo! inkusalters.itch.io/poltersprite #majorupdate #gamedev #poltersprite #indiegame #ghost

You support me when able I make you cool things and put most of them up to enjoy for free so as many people as possible can have my games and art and music as potential comfort during the shitshow that is everything

If you can't afford to tip or buy anything, please consider leaving a nice review on one (or all) of my games and sharing them around! inkusalters.itch.io

I love making free art and games for everyone to enjoy especially through the times we've had and are having. Unfortunately, I am bound by the laws of my mortal body and require something called "food" to continue doing so. ko-fi.com/inkusalters #art #artist #gamedev #horror #indiedev

Korvak Lis is a crow-person former a venturer turned taxidermist. Mike Assette is a shark-person who runs a music shop 🤭 Amanus *was* human but was turned into a mutant. He appears humanoid with a screen for a face until you have higher perception, then things get messy.

You lived your entire life without it until a couple years ago, you can do it again.

Use your silly little autocomplete on roids and tell everyone around you to suck it up. Be the asshole you wanna see in the world. Or consider fucking not. At least until this shit can be used ethically without jeapordizing your neighbors.

Why do I need to be faster let's start there maybe if this entire thread is too complicated to parse. Bc it certainly wouldn't be for the benefit of my art. My art would look worse than if I just made it myself. You're sacrificing quality for speed in self expression— why?

Every single argument online for the use of AI boils down to "because someone said it would be useful". More cons than pros listed everywhere. Start asking why. To everything. You might not like how few answers there are, but at least you'll know everything else was bs

Everything went to shit when everyone stopped asking "Why?" and settled with "because I said so" "Because I said so" is not an answer. Not from your parents, your abusive ex, or your government. Keep asking why.

Can't help but notice all the advice for artists down about Gen AI is "nobody was seeing/buying your work anyways so it makes no difference just use it to be faster" and that that doesn't at all address how if my work is inherently societally worthless, why it needs to be stolen to train the AI.

Keep playing my games and asking why, it's good practice. I give lots of opportunities. You'll need that muscle later.

You didn't understand the subtextual story in Painting Tomorrow? That's good. Why? Missing textual context? Was there anything environmental? Was it intended for a certain audience with a differing experience to yours? Do you need the story to feel any way about it? Fun anyways? All good.

"Art doesn't make me feel anything" Indifferent. Bored. Apathetic. Calm. Distracted. Uninterested. Disconnected. Unsatisfied. Unimpressed. Doubtful. Greater-than. Art gives you a place to access these in a moment. It's good to feel these things, even if they feel like nothing.

Spin off its lore, play a premade campaign, or make your own adventures, either way, it'll be fun

I'm doing my very best to fit *all* of the character sheet stuff in one booklet, though there will be accompanying tokens/cards/rolling tables My goal is to give guidelines for creating things to run with rather than to create them for you, mostly. Vekari is what you make it.

Getting very creative with TTRPG stat tables and such rn to try to fit these rules in tiny zines I think I just gave Vekari inherently custom classes to save space I am intrigued to see what this does for rp

Hey guys, I know you lot are waiting patiently. Current no updates on game dev side of things but! I will have music coming out soon for Vekari: Remote Bypass!! Please continue to be patient, I have a lot going on and I am doing my best. Lot of stress and grief right now. - 👻

well looky looky... I have myself a new Bluesky handle.. <3 I wonder if I can get a blue tick without paying anybody a subscription... #gamedev #indiedev #bluesky @bsky.app #bsky

A fun alien plant I made for Lost in the Stars of the Ancients - the game I am building with @ringgatestudios.bsky.social

Our music is part of this bundle! Get both Welcome to Faktoria and Monarch now for $1 or as part of the whole bundle, and get Antihero as soon as it drops! - Des ✨ #musicsky #rockband #indierock #indiemusic #videogamesoundtrack #ost

The toonie is to keep me incentivized to actually give you the updated files and not forget I ever put this listing up, less about paying me for making it. Currently has 5 animations and 10 accessories, some in multiple parts for easy texturing/colouring

Sorry for asking for help funding my meds/food so often, my shop rarely sells anything bc I'm a horrible salesperson and being an artist/dev isn't Enough, as we all know. Thanks for helping anyways to keep the morale up, it's appreciated. Someday Vekari will get the recognition it deserves.

We need to see that other humans are there, and that is overall why Vekari is so important. Because it's human. Because when you play you are heard by a human, even if you're just a number on a counter. Existing players: Thank you. Sincerely. New players: Welcome, and enjoy.

My side commentary is giving doesn't have to be just buying things!!! It can be leaving encouraging comments, sharing posts, liking them, talking about art/games you liked to your friends, rating the game on itch, writing about it in your blog or posting your playthrough, streaming it, etc.

Giving can very much be tagging me in a picture of a cat that looks vaguely like Jalapeno and just going "Jalapeno real". Yes, money helps a LOT. But I can't find people who can afford to pay me for my work without the other stuff happening. I'm *awful* at marketing. Give by getting the word out.

you won’t regret this play vekari today and bring your friends along for the wild ride. vekari is best played with others to experience your commentary and help you find your way. much like how life is best experienced with your best friends #horrorsky #scifisky #horrorgamesofbluesky

#donateartist #helptransartist #donationtrain #transartist #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters

please i am on my hands and knees begging for anything. ko-fi.com/inkusalters i don’t even know what fucking tags i haven’t used yet. #transartist #medicaldonation #artistsagainstai #donateplease #helpusplease

bro you guys could have weighted frogs in your pocket buy some NOW #frogsky #artsky #ko-fi #frogsofbluesky #artistofbluesky #autismsky #adhdsky

If 3 people buy 1 print, I'm set and I don't have to feel bad because I worked for it, much better tradeoff. I'll include free stickers.

ko-fi.com/inkusalters he won’t ask for weed money but i sure as fuck will. why? because it’s medically needed. for chronic pain and debilitating ptsd. drop what you can or hey what about buying something so it’s exchange! #artsky #horrorsky #donatetoartist #transartist

Please buy my games and art so I can be slightly less chronically under extreme stress because every time I try to make money I get crickets until I need a bit for something and then I get exact. Consistent sales would help a lot.
