He/Him, Maker of H games, Fallout 4 and Skyrim modder, Animator, Oldtaku. My politics are the same as B.J. Blazkowicz.

I'll mostly be talking about H games I'm playing, providing Ren'py tips, and eventually promoting my own game.

I've gotten a lot done this week. Completed another ending and am well on my way to doing 3 more (Those three are all tied together in a big branching mess so I kinda have to do them all at the same time) will actually take the weekend off starting early tomorrow.

Sometimes my brain works and I remember neat tricks like:

You can mirror an object in poser simply by taking the x scale and making it negative then reversing all the polygon normals. It basically turns the model inside out and backwards.

I've decided to fully redo all the art for a scene that's been done for months in my game. I simply can't stand the shortcuts I was willing to take and how badly that one scene sticks out.

How many choices does my game have? There's even a little roleplaying/choose your own adventure during the ending slideshows.

As somebody named Tentacus you'd think I'd have played a ton of tentacle porn games but no, Inyochu is my first and wow...

It'd make Maeda-sama blush with how hard it goes for the extremity. I honestly like that, it's good to have transgressive works that go as gross as the author's imagination.

Before the credits roll, my players will get a report card with a tally of important stats based on choices. Depending on the type of ending the way it's presented will change. IE: if the player ends the game as a slave, things like compassion & dominance are framed negatively.

I just finished the art/format for my visual novel's first proper ending so what better time to actually count them all. (lol)

Not counting the 3 progress halting bad ends and minor detail variation... my game will have: ELEVEN endings.

Back to playing Kozue's Strange Journey. The biggest mistake I made with this game early on was not recognizing that it was a real-ass oldskool JRPG so I ended up focusing exclusively on the social and H aspects and not combat so ended up massively underleveled for this Level 40 dungeon.

The fact that @jastusa.bsky.social site's game review forms don't let you add spaces is just very, very frustrating and gets me every time I leave a review.

Their site is better for buying H games than Steam in every way but that.

Half of game development is forensic science where you are trying to solve the cold case of where you from two years ago put things that you need again.

When a municipal cop shoots someone, they are removed from the scene, put on leave, their weapon is taken, and an investigation begins. That’s…like, I’m not being naive about corruption, I’m saying: this is shit that would make the world’s shittiest, worst cop be like hey not fair that’s cheating

YouTube is upholding the removal of my videos about gambling on the false grounds violating its “sale of illicit goods” policy.

This is tantamount to a false allegation, right? Especially with my professional rep, slinging that reasoning around is potentially harmful.

Either way I’m disgusted.

Right? YouTube’s hit upon one hell of a scam this time.
Using rules against gambling to censor criticism of gambling while selling gambling ads is straight up machiavellian and kafkaesque

Well, I've done it. I only have ending slideshows left to make in my visual novel. (though there are quite a few and then it's testing hell) I'm taking the rest of the week off to charge my batteries for the final push.

Three more pieces of art done today. Just a couple more scenes and then I can concentrate on only slideshow endings.

Oh, man apparently our AG arbitrarily instituted age verification using some goddamn Consumer protection statute. There is a zero% chance that holds up long term and will continue to cause the GOP's Christian hard right minority to show their asses.

Heh, I've been so distracted by national news that I didn't realize my shitty red state passed an age verification law.

If losing access to washing machine moms is what it takes to make typical gun bubbas figure out that the GOP are the bad guys, so be it.

Things my #adult VN doesn't have:

-X-rays. (Don't like em)
-Disembodied hands/genitals (Except in blindfolded scenes where it makes sense to simulate touch being the only way to perceive them)
-transparent bodies/cage bars. I make my art like shooting a movie.

#poser tip: Sometimes it can be useful to use the real time renderer's fake ground shadows. If you change all the materials in the figures and objects involved, the shadow itself will still show up. Letting you render it as a seperate layer for easy manipulation in PS.
