Worked more on Kickstarter rewards today! The npc scene just needs a little more oomph before I’m happy with it.

Take No Prisoners (Concept)
Take No Prisoners (TNP) is a cyberpunk stat raising visual novel with 3 routes. The player follows Aero, a man with almost zero redeemable traits, as he works to claw his way into a position of power....

I'm really excited about this one~ Take No Prisoners will be a cyberpunk stat raising visual novel 📊 3 routes, 9 endings: Pursue 3 paths to power (with varying results). Stat raising system: Manipulate, lie, or just be plain selfish. Phone system: Text/call people and take on jobs.
Do not create for the approval of others. Your art is not required to feed everyone. Create for your heart. The world is full of people who will listen and enjoy what your muse has to say, no matter what the message or meaning is.
I’ve had so many mental blocks lately but this guy makes pushing through worth it. Working on CC Kickstarter rewards tonight!

In my humble opinion, this game deserves some love. If not for the endless hours I solo grinded and the 100% loving human effort behind every single aspect of it, just because it's a fun time full of hope, passion and discovering love.❣️ And yeah I'm biased.💗 tuffmallow.itch.io/a-simple-twi...

My queer ass was fed so well playing LtGBtK because the characters were out of this world, from behavior, design & so much representation that made me feel seen & given space. There was so much yearning, temptation and drama! This was essentially my face during the entire playthrough:
Love the Guard, Be the King is a medieval #amare about love, duty & kingdom treachery! We play as the Dragon Commander burdened w/ difficult choices; with w/ kindness or an iron fist? dev: @ligianunes.itch.io itch: ligianunes.itch.io/love-the-guard-be-the-king steam: s.team/a/4263360
Hey folks! A new Ko-fi goal has been set up to cover the cost of the backgrounds that have been done so far for A Little Inconvenience. Any amount helps, but of course, if you're not able to donate, sharing helps just as much! ❤️ ko-fi.com/husbandogodd...
