what the fuck is this artifacting??
I would rather deal with VHS fuzz and/or tracking *any fucking day of the week* than whatever the hell these AI greaseballs think they're doing with old media

and lastly, a non-binary player trainer!

one of the first things I added to the hack was gender selection. I decided to go with "BOY/GIRL/ENBY" for the choices (GB limits and all). I made the enby sprite the character, Yellow, from the Pokémon manga, but I may make a new, more original one later~

next? Jynx 🧜‍♀️ ❄️
(w/bonus SGB color vers.)

definitely the top candidate for a redesign, imo. I went with more of a deep-water siren instead of.. whatever the original Jynx sprite is supposed to be...

I do think Jynx is an interesting and unique combination of types, though!

bringing some Pokémon back because of course I am.
re-spriting them down to Yellow version levels has been a challenge, but fun! not too many of these, though~

first up, Chingling! 🔔✨
(w/bonus SGB color vers.)

Chingling feels like a natural addition for a boosted gen 1 to go into Lavender Tower~
November 20, 2025 at 2:23 AM
yeah! as the bonus scene in the mini SOS mode I did in one of my games! there's even a crushed-to-fit voice clip of me saying "Nice job!" when you get there~

here's a link-out button I just made as well! if Bsky wrecked it in the upload, you can also get it from my site's links page~
September 27, 2025 at 2:46 PM
been missing my art?
well, here's a trove of bug-type ladies to enjoy!
@beachboogeyman.itch.io commissioned me to make these for his upcoming project, Inverti-Brats!

~96x96 each, there's monarch butterfly, ladybug, mosquito, death's head hawkmoth, scarab beetle, scorpion, spider, and yellowjacket!

an additional note is now a part of the intro of that wild "State of the Homebrew" survey posted here by GB Studio Central. apparently, it's a survey meant for someone's blog, but isn't representative of ANY actual retro game development community, or the site hosting that hosts the blog...

sometimes I just love the way things line up when you zoom out on a project~

oh, holy shit. it's bad enough that we've already got a genocide-friendly Game Boy. but now they're going after the N64 next?? just fucking stop already. just quit. just leave it the fuck alone.

pulled this image from their account on Twitter because they haven't posted about it over here.
July 31, 2025 at 6:34 PM
even the fucking "NSFW" tag doesn't show up anymore?? what a heinous, shady fuckin' move...
July 24, 2025 at 1:58 AM
just checked on my own games after seeing this. I can see my games on my own page, but the amount of NSFW games with the "Game Boy" tag on itch went from over 120 to just around 40. only risque and horror stuff. the explicit adult games are gone. this fuckin' sucks, ya'll
July 24, 2025 at 1:45 AM
it took a full week of work to finish, but I'm so excited to show this off! please enjoy this part of the intro sequence for GAMEBUG3, and look forward to learning more of the story behind it in the future~ ✨🐜💖

this is the first time in years we've had an actual oven to bake in, so I absolutely had to make sure my gremlin got the birthday cake he wanted this time~ 💖

2+ years since first publishing it on itch, LesbiAnts has officially hit 1,000 downloads!! 🎉

thank you. genuinely. I know it's not "viral success" or rapid growth (and the Sisters might know something about that), but it means a lot.
and if you rated and reviewed it? maybe we? should kiss??

so in doing more poking around about the Super Game Boy, I came across the official Game Boy Programming Manual from 1999. I can't parse the large majority of its technical information, but an interesting part at the very front shows how Nintendo evaluated games for release on various GB hardware.
June 29, 2025 at 3:29 PM
I love using the #SuperGameBoy for coloration and borders! but I do wish it came with a GBC-like performance boost when on hardware, too...

curious to see the difference? here's a comparison of the same #GBStudio project (using dual Color + Monochrome mode) played via SGB, GB Pocket, and GB Color~

screenshots of the latest bug yuri project last night from testing on my #SuperGameBoy. color palettes aren't 100% where I want them to be yet, but it's pretty close. just have to spend some time in the SGB's palette customization screen~

jfc it's everywhere!! is the whole GB scene gonna be poisoned?? would anyone taking part in this compo jam actually want one of these things as a reward? gross...
May 6, 2025 at 10:14 PM
not active on Twitter/X, so I missed a shout-out from the official itch account. boo.

but, also, interesting to learn the Bsky account is probably managed separately/differently, since the same shout-out didn't happen here. it's not a cross-posting/automated thing like I would've thought. neat~

trying to keep consistent with making a stream schedule to keep the analysis paralysis of *what* to stream at-bay. thought it'd be good to start sharing it here as well!
April 8, 2025 at 4:32 PM
haven't posted these here yet, but I'm sure some other game-devs will get some use out of them~
February 20, 2025 at 12:41 AM
a new clip of my next #GAMEBUG release for #ScreenshotSaturday ~
rescuing a stranded drone can take a toll and put your own survival in a precarious position. but you wouldn't leave her to die.. would you..??

look at this rad sculpture installation that LesbiAnts is being housed in!! my screenshot from the IG story I was tagged in doesn't do it justice I'm sure. if anyone's in Brussels during the event, please let me know how it plays!
January 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM
so LesbiAnts is gonna be in this art show soon along with a bunch of talented people, and it's honestly pretty wild. I never thought my game about *sapphic bug erotic body horror* would put me in touch with something like this, but it did! it'll be in an art exhibition in another country! wowow!
