He/they, queer, trans. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, mystery, and erotica - hopefully all at once :3

I mostly write, doodle, and study game dev. Some projects are at https://augustrosewood.itch.io/ or https://archiveofourown.org/users/Eizwein/

I tend to flit between too many projects, but my current focuses are an erotica story about a trans man who gets a sexy job as maid and a fantasy with an enby mc and trans man love interest.
And recently I made a little interactive fiction game on itch about getting fucked by monsters :3

Post in r/indiedev by Sbibble: "The game I've been working on for months is exactly the same as a game I just discovered today. What do I do? Hi all, I've been working on a little project in Godot since about October. The idea was a bullet-hell roguelike, sort of like Enter the Gungeon, but with a spell system like in Noita, where players can get upgrades to change the behaviour of their projectiles. I know the idea isn't exactly original, but I thought it was a neat spin on things, and pretty feasible for a novice developer like me. I've gotten pretty far, and the game is nearly feature complete. Today, out of curiosity, I had a look through Godot's newsfeed on Steam, and found the game Gunforged. It is remarkably similar to the project I have been working on, to the point where Steam even compares it to Noita and Gungeon specially on the store page. What do I do? I'm worried my game will be seen as just a ripoff, despite the fact that I hadn't even heard about this other game until today. Reply by Firebelly: "Hey I'm the creator of Gunforged! I would say don't be discouraged. There's plenty of room to do Gunforged better than I did, especially if you can do something unique. But even just improving my game's deficiencies can set you apart enough to sell some copies. If you like your idea then keep going!

The list is a mile long, but I guess “happy transmasc smut” covers most of it lol

Also fantasy murder mysteries…

Lads can we stop with the "hahahaha trans men can go and shock all the ladies with their beardy muscley-ness" whenever trans women are banned from something.
1. Cos the EHRC "guidance" literally said we can't use the ladies' if we are masculine-appearing but can't use the gents' either! /1

Hate when I’m thousands of words into a story and still second guessing the characters names… maybe I’ll look at the name lists again :/

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

It's Saturday night so let's do a fun one!

With 5 emojis or less (each), how would you summarize your character?

Focus on their personality, their arc, or anything else that is core to them as a character!

If you’re an artists and you are currently creating by yourself know that, in this current climate, you are actively rebelling, and that I’m proud of you for that 🫂

Glad people are enjoying this one! Not only did I draw it entirely on the plane, I ALSO drew it entirely with my coat draped over over my head like a tent, using my phone’s flashlight to see the paper (the other passengers were sleeping)

It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

A really great thread celebrating indie presses.
tenebrouspress.bsky.social Tenebrous Press @tenebrouspress.bsky.social · 29d
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
