Happy Pride Month! ✨ space is still gay ✨

One of my favorite things so far has been implementing and writing my own little nod to CRPG (particularly classic BioWare) party banter. Little snippets of dialogue that randomly occur between pairings. It really makes the world feel so much more alive! #vndev

I love interpersonal dynamics in my casts... especially the ones that hold a little bit of antagonism ;) #vndev

Part of my new scheduled attempt to make sure I post updates on social media: a little WIP Wednesday! In high school I was captivated by the Beat era. Getting to write a character of that period is super fun to me - though I'm still getting used to the slang! #vndev

I've not been paying much attention to social media in the last month, but I'm going to try to change that with my favorite thing, ✨ structure ✨ So I'm starting with monthly reports on my work and progress for The Bitter End! This is demo-specific~ #vndev #vnlink

The last LI of The Bitter End would be quite annoyed to know I'm posting her on April Fools. ⛵🌹 Wren comes from an alternate 1960s Greenwich Village, one where witches hid with the homophiles and the beatniks. But magic takes as much as it gives... and Wren had a lot to lose. #vndev #visualnovel

Time for the fifth of six LIs in The Bitter End! ⛵🌹 Neruda comes from Chile in a futuristic Earth where biological enhancement and genetic optimization are the defining markers of the elite. Neruda is best of them all, but perfection is a cage with diamond bars. #vndev #visualnovel #datingsim

The fourth LI of The Bitter End is the first person you will meet! ⚓🌹 Kit may come from a spacefaring civilization, but those of her homeworld travel the seas as much as the stars. She's the ship's natural leader, always doing her best to help. Maybe one day she'll have done enough to be forgiven.

The third LI of The Bitter End is the youngest and tallest~ ⚓🌹 Jiye comes from Korea, in an alternate Earth where powerful Sentinels keep the world free of malevolent spirits. She lived a joyous life: battling, traveling, charming older women. But on the ship, she's grounded. In more ways than one.

Introducing a second love interest in The Bitter End~ ⛵🌹 Eshe hails from an East African-inspired fantasy world where clans bonded to spiritual entities make up a complex web of societies. Eshe was exiled over twenty years ago, but she still carries the weight of her sisters' love. #vndev

Let's get to know the love interests of The Bitter End! ⛵🌹 Anahita comes from a Safavid Persia-inspired fantasy world, where great social mobility is possible for the clever. Yet it is also a world where a woman's transgressions may demand blood. #vndev #sapphic #visualnovel

Here's one to the creator! What character dynamic do you like exploring the most? Is it between family members? Love interests? Heroes v.s. Villains? Do tell! #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Indie game dev is when you, through sheer force of will and massive commitment of time and energy, create an incredible never before seen interactive experience from nothing..... so you can have like five people play it and be like "yeah that was pretty good" You're damn right it was

These are the games that I think had the greatest impact on what I think of gaming as a whole and how I approach games... let's just wrap ME and DA into their whole series though... and yes that's 4/9 Bioware, NWN was my childhood!

one of my story consultant's notes included the phrase "something something narratively significant hand around the waist" and i got to finish that scene today and it was as fun as you might imagine

a woman salutes in lesbian with her finger on her forehead .

Alt: a blonde woman salutes in different directions with the caption reading "salutes in lesbian"

@orcmouse.bsky.social has been hard at work on finalizing the sprites for my game and getting the updates on them is bringing joy to me every day! here's some lovely details on one character, as a tease ~ #vndev #vnlink
