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

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

i made a zine cataloguing feelings about the censorship situation on itchio and feeling failed by those i (naively) thought had my best interests at heart. it has email chains, deindexed games, and notes on their moderation prior to visa and mastercard situation.

A collage of digitally rendered line art drawings done in the style of polaroid photos showcasing Iggy Maxwell and Genzou Ichihara from the game Our Wonderland in various years from 1995 to 2018 while attending the Lanbrooke SummerFest summer carnival. They're accompanied by silly handwritten notes from Iggy.

I keep seeing people say “yeah but ppl who make weird stuff get passed over/gate kept/shut out/isolated” in response to “make weird art” and that’s true! But the whole point is: make it anyway. Build an honest community with like minded people. Be brave. Be you. Make something that matters.

She's Etheldred. She's Ethel. She's Adele. She's a vampire. It's in her nature to bite, to hurt others, to self-destruct.

Or at least, that's what she claims.

My entry for Shufflecomp 2025 and Queer Vampire Jam 2026, oxblood, is here! So, check it out if you have time!

Figured I'd share a bit of steam review insight on the horse game server inspired by this 🫡
discord screenshot showing a post from Alice, half an hour ago: I just saw a related post on bsky and was reminded that probably not everyone is aware of this, so here we go: General PSA for video game enjoyers: leave reviews on Steam Steam reviews (both the overall number as well as the review ratio) have an immense impact on a game's visibility if you're the 10th or 50th or 100th person to leave a review on a game, you can genuinely change that game's trajectory towards failure/success you don't need to write a whole essay, just a sentence or two and deciding on a 👍 / 👎 is enough to make a meaningful difference if a game has a Free Demo and the Demo has a separate page where you can leave reviews for the Demo, the same applies The overall number of reviews defines which label the game gets. For example, I believe >50 reviews AND 80% positive reviews are needed for Very Positive, while >500 reviews and 95% positive gets you Overwhelmingly Positive When a new game comes out, you're doing the developer a gigantic favor if you leave a preliminary positive review after the first 10min of playing, even if you might revisit it later to edit your review once you've played more a game needs at least 10 reviews to even get a "Positive" label - for a newly released game, it makes a huge difference if they achieve this within the first few hours of launching or not, because it determines whether the Steam algorithm will show the game to more people early visibility and moderate commercial success can determine whether a game can even afford to invest in further updates and improvements. If you're generous with your reviews in the first few days of a release, you increase the game's overall chances of becoming a better product in time. In short: Leave reviews quickly, often and generously if you want to help developers succeed and get visibility. You can still switch your 👍 to a 👎 later if you feel like feedback is being ignored or improvements aren't being made.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

If you're on strike today: it's a GREAT time to call paypros and really put the pressure on their call centers which might be lower than normal staff. Just saying 🥰

This is still incredibly important and still happening to people even if less people are talking about it now.

My works are still heavily impacted as someone who makes games that cover a lot of sensitive topics even if they aren't R18. (My itch acct and game are still deindexed.)

A smattering of anatomy-study style sketches of Genzou Ichihara from the game Our Wonderland in a disheveled, tired, just got out of bed state, enjoying his morning smoke and coffee (and also maybe a sweet back hug from Iggy).

Can make gay people, nonbinary people, short people, tall people, fat people...

.........my god, I could actually make all of my OCs.

I haven't played Tomodachi Life before but now I kind of really want to lol. It would be so silly and cute having them all live on an island together.

Tonight in DDDA was wild.

I edited my file to make Genzou Iggy's beloved before the dragon fight. But since pawns aren't meant for this, the cutscene instead had a bald naked man. (Hilarious.)

But after the cutscene, it was indeed Genzou on the ground. So Iggy had to carry him back to save him...
Screenshot from the cutscene showing the bald naked man surrounded by flames and reaching out. Wtf is going on. Screenshot from a later cutscene showing Iggy and the bald naked man smiling at each other. I had tears running down my face I was laughing so hard. It's hard to see, but this is a screenshot of actual Genzou lying passed out on the ground. Also a bit hard to see, but this is a screenshot of Iggy carrying passed out Genzou away from Grigori the dragon. By doing so, he chooses to save Genzou and fight the dragon, rather than take the dragon's deal and sacrifice Genzou so he doesn't have to fight.

I noticed DDDA!Genzou holds his great big hammer differently than DD2!Genzou and I thought it was cute and wanted to draw it. This led to me drawing many Genzous accompanied by some of his cute quotes from across both games.

*ok the dashing one isn't real I made that one up lol

A collection of digitally colored line art doodles of pawn Genzou dressed in his outfit from Dragon's Dogma 2 doing various things such as wielding his hammer, complaining, and getting a sweet compliment from Arisen Iggy, all accompanied by various quotes from both DDDA and DD2.
