I'll update these in time, but here's some basic info about the Space Destiny project! This page has already gotten more attention than I expected, and I'm excited to keep yall posted! #indiedev #gamedev #queerdev
Purple text that reads: What is Space Destiny? [It is:] A spaceship with an experimental engine, stolen by a mysterious scientist. The adventures of a woman named Venus, her best friend, the aforementioned mysterious scientist, and the other members of the ship's growing crew as they deal with the absurdity of a universe that's so much bigger than anyone could have daydreamed. It is also: A VN/dating-sim-esque game, currently being built in Ren'Py and PyGame. A loving homage to the pulpy, horny worlds of vintage science fiction. A game featuring kinky queer people BY kinky queer people. Blue text that reads: What will this look like? A whole lot of story. There are currently two full chapters (and two interludes) plotted out, and the plot is just getting started! A projected wordcount of around 7K per social plot, with an aim for 5 crew members available by the end of the first chapter, and more on the horizon. A colorful background cast, each with their own stories and plenty of things they'd love to hire an enterprising spacer to take care of. A variety of minigames, such as RPG-style combat and Raygun Roulette. ...and so much more. As a solo dev, I want to be careful about the promises I make. That doesn't mean I'm not dreaming big, though! Where can I play this? My current plan is to release on Itch.io, though I might see about Steam if there is demand. I have no clue about if the game will run on various systems. As I'm using Ren'Py as a base, I'm pretty sure it should work on Windows, and might need a launcher for Mac. Linux people... I'm sure you can figure something out. I intend to start publishing the moment I have completed the Minimum Viable Product (a rudimentary version of Chapter 0). The main hurdles there are making the art and figuring out how to make combat happen. From there, I intend to regularly post updates with bug fixes and the like, as well as additional story chunks as they are created. Purple text that reads: Supporting Space Destiny. If you want to help make SD a reality, there's a lot you can do! Every like and follow is a huge motivation boost, even just the knowledge that there are eyes on this project gives me drive to keep pushing. If you have advice about Ren'Py or PyGame and don't mind fielding some basic questions, I'd be more than happy to draw stuff in return! If you have interest in commissioning me as an artist or writer, please reach out! I am unemployed at the moment, so every bit counts (smiley face emoticon). And if you'd be interested in seeing SD on Patreon, I'd be absolutely blown away. It seems like a bit of a pipe dream at the moment, bit if I were able to pay rent, I could treat SD as a full-time job! Below that, handwritten black text says "thanks!", followed by a signature in the form of a crude drawing of a heart and a crow.

Got a lot to work on with the story as is, but sometimes... a new character sneaks up on you. Fleur probably won't show up in-game for a long time, but she might be showing up in my art for the next while lol
A flirty fairy sits on top of an open can. She has wings, antenna, and pointy ears, and wears her hair in a bobShe's nude save for a large gauntlet on one hand, a strappy bikini bottom, and a pair of fuzzy legwarmers, and she's fondling one of her boobs with the non-armored hand. She's sticking her tongue out, and holding the gauntlet in a peace sign. She has a pair of wings that appear to fold like those of an earwig

a bitch once again has medication!
Sorry for the long hiatus, I ended up without the meds I need to do things like Focus, Design games, and Live Like A Normal Person. This issue has been fixed! I should be able to get back to dev soon >:3

Sudden midnight urge to pivot entirely from renpy to godot… not sure how insane it would be to do that

First time modeling a character from scratch! Flug from @lilalienz4ever.bsky.social! This little creature brings me so much joy, so I turned them into cute little plushies! I swore I saw one of them move though...
#lilalienz4ever #3DRender #Blender3D #Fanart
A 3D render of about 30 Flugs from lilalienz4ever. They're all lined up on shelves and have a big smile on their faces, standing in the same pose. 29 of them have small tags attached to their sides, but the Flug in the center of the picture does not have one. The focal Flug is bright in color while the others are slightly more dim. The shelves extend upwards until they become obscured by the atmosphere. There are light reflections overlaid onto the image as if the Flugs are being displayed behind a glass case.

shoutout to @kigyo.itch.io for making the lint+ wordcounter for #renpy, feels good to know how much progress I'm actually making! #indiedev #gamedev 4.5k words about being trans in space
Screencap of a readout from a word counter. The character's name has been scribbled out. The code snippet "character 5" is 53 lines and 527 words long, the snippet "character checkin" is 4 lines and 69 words long, the section "character checkin chitchat" is 36 lines and 344 words long, and the section "character checkin chat 1" is 315 lines and 3,695 words long.

Writing feels like scraping rust off ancient gears... slow start to the year but gaining some momentum again >:3 #indiedev #renpy #gamedev
A screencap of a game script in Visual Studio Pro. It uses Ren'Py. The text says: T "It's just..." menu: "Keep it professional." "Be sympathetic." "Tease him."

Following the previous #FolieàTrois sheet is Lyle! Had to redact a bit more this time. That corset must be a pain to put on! He refuses to leave the house without it though...

#3DRender #3DArt #Blender3D #b3D #OC #OriginalCharacter
A reference sheet labeled "Folie à Trois - Character Sheet 02 - Lyle Montague". It shows a full body view of the character at various angles, as well as multiple close-up facial expressions (Distraught, Angry, Neutral, Tearful) and a profile view. Several details of the design have been numbered with corresponding notes at the bottom of the image. The notes are as follows: "1. The ends of the sleeve flare out, kind of like a flower shape. 2. Boots have a spatterdash inspired design. 3. [TEXT REDACTED] 4. Palm cut gloves made of a silky material. 5. Has a large burn scar on his face. It extends over his ear. 6. Long metallic earrings with a slightly pearlescent finish. He's never seen without them. "

#gamedev #LMMS Hard pivot on my current work to dabble in music creation! LMMS seems pretty easy to work with :)

I'd still rather comm some of my talented friends to do most of the music but atm its just me lol
The interface to the LMMS audio software. There's several windows all over the page. This one shows the hi-hat notes for a basic track.

Back in June someone was kind enough to draw some Emmerich fanart! I realized I didn't have a proper reference for him, thus the first #FolieàTrois ref sheet was born! I have more of these I may post later. Had to redact some info to avoid spoilers. Sorry!

#3DRender #3DArt #Vroid #Blender3D #OC
A reference sheet labeled "Folie à Trois - Character Sheet 01 - Emmerich Mitchell". It shows a full body view of the character at various angles, as well as multiple close-up facial expressions (Happy, sad, neutral, angry, and distraught). Several details of the design have been numbered with corresponding notes at the bottom of the image. The notes are as follows: "1. Black nail polish. 2. Font is Libre Barcode 128. Translates to 'Becoming'. 3. Has a blond split dye. Black is his natural hair color. 4. Curved barbel navel piercing. It's made of a rough black metal. 5. [TEXT REDACTED] 6. Wears metal stud earrings. Not visible at most angles. 7. Has a tongue piercing. Same material as earrings. 8. His neutral expression. He doesn't emote very often, so this is more or less his expression most of the time."

Four games that influenced my current project? Kind of an interesting list…

#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegames
Screencap of the Social Link select screen from Persona 3: Reloaded Screencap of Pirates: Golden Tits. Jaina is facing the screen saying “yes… those were the best carefree days.” Banner image for the game Hardcoded. It features seven different characters from the game in a pixel style. Title screen from Cave Story, with its Japanese name in romaji, Doukutsu Monogatari underneath. A man in a lab coat stands in front of a throne while two figures float in bubbles above him. The art is in a pixel style.

Blah blah first post so I don't look like a bot... Curious about this woman, her social life, and the repercussions of her choices? Want to see her wearing less clothing? Stick around for all that and more! #art #gamedev #renpy
A pixel-art sprite of a woman named Venus. She has tan skin, purple and blue hair, and purple eyes. She wears a cropped black leather jacket and a cropped blue shirt, as well as a pair of red pants, with a visible gun holster on her thigh. The sprite is fairly rough, though the writer of this text is also the illustrator, and might be somewhat harsh on themselves.
