Ok it's out! Can you survive a night with a vampire? Keep Iggy from getting blood-sucked by his charming suitor!

With
🦇1 short gay (very thirsty) vampire
🐇1 cute awkward nerd

A darkly comedic romp that can hopefully make you laugh (and feel things) #visualnovel

I've got a little guy to present! Nova! Had a lot of fun designing, writing, and modeling this guy. He's also voiced by the wonderful Greg Vinciguerra, who is a joy to work with. Nova also gets to sing! Was fortunate enough to do a lot of fun stuff with this character.

We really, really like our guy Al from our visual novel Alien Incrementum. He used to be more of a small gremlin OC before we hit him with the bishounen beam for the visual novel, lol! He's awkward and usually a little confused (Earth is weeeird), but he has a big heart!

Had my first unemployment meeting today and though it went ok, it left me feeling overwhelmed, which spiked my anxiety the rest of the day, so I didn't get much done.

I did work on the trailer a bit more and played some DDDA to wind down. Hopefully tomorrow my nerves will be more at peace ( ;¬_¬)

This is Flora Greenwood/Princess Strawberry and she is DARLING.
Been kicking around her VN for a few years now, she's a college-age young woman who learns she's the "mid-season addition" to a magical girl team.

To this day, I still think this is one of the best pieces I have ever drawn... I mean look at the creases in those cloaks!!

Despite Kickstarter more recently saying they "support adult projects" it seems that Stripe is taking down projects way more liberally then they used to.

I know everyone is tired; but we have to keep up yelling at payment processors: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Making a trailer... (◕‿◕)

I am not the best at video editing but I am trying my best and learning a lot. All my previous practice with the animation meme and animatics has really helped. I think it's turning out pretty decent!

And under no circumstances weaponize this function to turn your visual novel into a Mystery Science Theater-alike with timed choices. You. You can't limit player interaction like that. Nobody would want that.

Me who uses hard=True for literally every pause in my games: ..........(•‿•)

/sorry but you cannot make cutscenes timed to music without hard=True 💦 or even any sort of more-immersive sprite animations and effects 💦💦
If you asked a nation of games developers whether it's rude to "assume you understand what the player wants more than the player does", you would spark a civil war.

You're too worried about being "annoying" about being "rude" about being "too much" when in reality, you're probably not even close to any of those things because you've been so worried about it. Allow yourself 1 fucking post online about your project, I SWEAR TO GOD lol

Y’know yeah I gotta work on this, so:

I’m really close to a Steam payout so if you like watercolor art or mysteries please buy the artbook DLC for Serialized Killer!

I remembered those little DD2 lineart doodles I did last summer and thought I'd color one for a low-key activity during my loopy jetlag. It turned out so beautiful... ;-; 💕

Last night started replay of the first Dragon's Dogma. Been years! The char creator isn't as good so I'm struggling a bit to make Iggy and Genzou look ok. Still working on it.

Tho now my head is flooded with DD2 thoughts again so I rewatched this and promptly wept:

2025 was not a good year for me. I lost my dad, my job, and because of the itchio debacle, a lot of my hope for a future in game dev. (And we won't talk about already losing hope in my career in general as an editor because it was destroyed by AI...)

However, I am still here.

Saw everyone doing these so I decided to do one, too... also since I'm trying to stave off the travel anxiety for my trip tomorrow.

Made it back with a few issues but safely. Many delays. And my bag didn't make it on the final leg so they threw it on the next flight. I thought I'd just wait for it in baggage claim. But then THAT flight got delayed so it turned into an additional 3 hours... 😅

I'm so tired my brain is melting LOL
