i've been hard at work on the script for VESSEL, so i haven't had as many art assets to share. as the script nears completion, though, i'll be working on more art. please look forward to it!

val @valaxy.bsky.social · 16h ago

my vn VESSEL combines abstract backgrounds with sharp characters, and also some decent writing (?) play the demo here: whimsival.itch.io/vessel #vndev #indiedev #visualnovel

an impressionist-style illustration of a wheat field

a female knight wearing a blue tunic and shoulder armor. she has a spear and brown hair. the lighting is pink with blue shadows.

it's just that whenever people talk as if the impact of lukewarm fandom discourse on my daily life could possibly outweigh the impact of 100,000 people each giving me 10 dollars, i can only roll my eyes at best. let's be honest with each other here

you should write because you love your story so much that it's all you can think about, and you should also get so pissed off at a video game that it makes you write a novel

Designing production schedules in game dev (look I have been both Toad and Frog over the years ok)

An illustration from the Frog and Toad books of the two main characters holding a box. The text reads, "Frog put the game on a schedule. "There," he said. "Now we will finish the game." "But we can ignore the schedule," said Toad. "That is true," said Frog."

my game has no explicit content and seems to be fine at the moment, but i think that if you own it (or anything on itch) it might be a good idea to download it just to have it on your computer. not to catastrophize or anything but i really have no idea what the future of itch is looking like lol

undertale memory from insertdisc5 saying "undertale made me want to make video games that make people yell and cry. thank you"

gg @ggdg.bsky.social · last yr.

not much i can say that hasn't been said. i'm not affected by the recent delistings on itch but i don't believe my work is "safe." very sad but i will continue making it as long as i can

ebi @ebihimes.bsky.social · last yr.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

This started as a "thank you siffrin from hit game in stars and time" joke but got away from me a bit

Ms paint drawing of Siffrin standing over someone in a field of tall grass looking down on them, speech bubble reads "you're going to have to get up too, you know."

earthsong #wandersong #wandersongspoilers

Fanart for Wandersong. Kiwi the bard is in the center, celebrating. Eya's Angel is to the right, smiling. Miriam is to the left, looking slightly confused. The Earth is in the background, surrounded by musical notes. Shooting stars fall from the sky. The background, stars, and musical notes are in a soft pastel style, while the characters are sharper.

VESSEL is planned to have an extended demo that lasts about half an hour. it's written already, just need to draw all the things 😅

val @valaxy.bsky.social · last yr.

been hard at work on VESSEL's script, which means the art assets have been on the back burner. i'm going to start drawing the assets for the extended demo Soon, but in the meantime enjoy this rough concept art of the knight. #indiedev #visualnovel #gamedev

A knight with long brown hair in a braid, a brown shoulder pauldron on her left arm, and two brown storage pouches on her hips. She holds a spear in her right hand, and her left rests on her hip. She is wearing a tan long sleeved shirt under a blue tunic, and she has a red emblem with a silver design on her chest.

some #everhood fanart that i probably won't finish

Fanart for the game Everhood. Green Mage, a floating eye with a green cloak, green wizard hat, and purple hads floats in the top left corner. Red, a puppet with a red bandana, red cape, blue pants, and brown boots stands in the bottom right corner, holding a ball of energy. Blue and white lightning bolts arc towards Red. Attacks from Green Mage in the form of white, yellow, and pink arcs also move towards Red. There is a blue grid underlying the attacks, and faint colorful lasers in the background.

there's a cat in VESSEL. nothing bad happens to him, i promise. he's just there to be cute. (...and to provide characterization, of course.) whimsival.itch.io/vessel #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel

A short-haired gray cat with a long tail and large ears. He is missing his left eye. The cat is lit with cool light, making the shadows appear warmer.

vess doesn't smile in the demo for VESSEL, but maybe in the full game...? whimsival.itch.io/vessel #visualnovel #gamedev #indiedev

A character with fluffy brown hair and a green cloak. The portrait is lit with warm light, and the character is smiling.

it's #screenshotsaturday! here's a screenshot from my vn demo, which you can play now for free! did i mention it only takes 5 minutes? give it a shot if you like fantasy, magic, and watching cute lil characters going through it! whimsival.itch.io/vessel #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel #indiegame

A character with brown hair wearing a green cloak stands in front of a background. They are drawing a small symbol in the air that is reminiscent of a butterfly. The background contains a white bed to the right, a chair and a table to the left, and three shelves of bottles above the table. The background is drawn in a soft, Impressionist style, while the character is drawn more clearly. A slightly transparent white text box overlays the bottom quarter of the screen. It reads, "They took a few moments, slowing their breathing, closing their eyes."

val @valaxy.bsky.social · last yr.

just walkin' you can look at this picture and lots of others in my visual novel demo! you can even read things too! whimsival.itch.io/vessel #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel

A small figure with brown hair, a green cloak, and brown pants and boots walks along a dirt path at night. Green vegetation surrounds the path, and the character is lit by moonlight. The background is in an Impressionist style, while the character is more clearly defined.
