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.

Ended up working a decent amount this weekend, despite being ahead, but I also took some time to play a little more "Otome the exorcist." Really enjoying it. The H is really sleazy though I wish the player didn't control the pace of corruption. RPG combat is Very good.

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.

The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.

Have some fucking self respect for once.

You should see what we name scripts and the properties thereof.
Skyrim modders really be naming the most beautiful creations/tool/script ever some shit like "Penumbral Enclosure: New Immersive Sci-Fi Artifacts" just so the acronym is PENISFART or some shit

With this difficult to set up scene... I'll say I'm enough ahead of schedule to take the weekend off.

Lighting this'll be a nightmare come Monday though due to the ground shadows and my seperation of background and foreground elemets/styles.

If you ever make any argument for censorship no matter how utilitarian you've lost me. You've chosen to make yourself an enemy of freedom and human rights.

I’ve never been one for puzzle games except one, Lumines, which kept me utterly hooked when it released on the PSP. Can still go back to it today.

That said… holy *shit* Lumines Arise is good. This is utterly beautiful.

I saw Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN late tonight, and I thought it was a pure delight. In the last scene the Creature walked toward the sunrise. Then suddenly, to my surprise…

Finding out I have a fairly large sound file in my game's audio folder that I'm not using: WOO! Free megabytes!

Another week... another pile of finished smutty bondage art for my game. Tomorrow I'll dig in and try to finish the scene these belong to in Ren'py.

If your taste in men is like Ohno from Genshiken... this one's for you.

It's a great feeling when something goes so catastrophically wrong with a mediocre render that I thought was "Good enough", that I redo it from scratch and make it actually good.

There's a bug in #poser where with some figures, if you apply a pose, hands or face it could cause genitals to basically explode. When this would happen I'd chalk it up to bad luck and manually pose what I needed.

I may have just discovered simply switching camera then back may fix it.

Finally using "Chekhov's pillory" This thing has appeared in the background and foreground of many scenes and I wasn't sure I was gonna actually use it.

This has been a pretty intense dev week. I haven't spent this much time on writing and coding for a single script in the last 2 years. I think I need to force myself to take the weekend off.

As I get closer to finishing this game the temptation to overwork gets stronger.

I began seriously learning Ren'py nearly 3 years ago... and I was today years old when I finally learned how to do conditional menu options: 😭

Example:

menu:
"Just kill me." if ignorant > 49:

This woulda made my last script alone half the length. Live and learn.

FUN SCIENCE FACT: after five minutes of existing, a glass of piss cooling in front of an open fridge will have had a more positive influence on gaming than the industry’s entire executive class has had in two decades.

One pitfall of making branching narrative games is that as the author you tend to fall in love with one or more branches which makes them become more canonical in your head, to the point that imagining players choosing the others can become frustrating.

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans.

They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time they’re convinced they’ve invested in a divine cure-all.

They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

One of the biggest downsides to an overly complicated branching system in my Visual Novel (As a one man show) is that I have to add some contingency branches for combinations of variables that I am not sure are even possible.

I finally found a use for the hidden "compassionate" stat I've been tracking the entire game. It will literally determine one line of dialogue!

Honestly it's not inconsequential as it does help sell the roleplaying you've done... but fucking still, man...

I am at another completely brain melting part of development where I have some good old fashion madlib dialogue based on way too many player stat checks... where I have to reconsile OPPOSITE stat checks into logical streams of dialogue.

I'm still really enjoying "Into the nightmare." It's incredibly refreshing to find a JRPG with really sex positive yuri content. (Or any) And a game with the protagonist in a healthy relationship. The game just has immaculate vibes.

I was just saved by the one time I actually saved a Poser Camera under a unique name instead of "temp".
