Aspiring NSFW indie game developer.
Still nothing to show for it...

It's tragic what happened to Epic's asset store since the fab.com merger (or whatever it was).

Suddenly there are two licenses, requiring me to pay double or more, or to use a personal license and keep track, individual asset by asset, which ones have a revenue cap on their usage.

In the past, I've been using Blender Rigify (Legacy) and even wrote a lot of tools for it.

But, more and more, I am tending towards Auto-Rig Pro. No confuddled tree of MCH, ORG, DEF bones. Why not have prefix-less bones as derform bones in a clean tree that copies ORG/MCH xforms, Rigify?

Fictional scenario for Silly Tavern (AI Dungeon-like texture adventure system). Any similarities to real places accidental.

Feel free to grab and do whatever (image is a loadable card, too, if the embed survives BlueSky).

Tinkering a bit with AI nonsense.

I thought I could turn some 2D RPG tiles I purchased from itch.io into 3D meshes and then be able to suddenly zoom into the scene and catch the viewer/player off guard.

Look at that realism. It turned the tree stump into a 3D mesh... of sorts... erm... well...

I have to say Blender 4.2 does not exactly feel like a step up from Blender 2.79.

Resize some panel - app freezes for 10 seconds. Switch shading type - app freezes for 10 seconds. Right mouse drag - no reset.

Still gotta switch because AutoRig, shaders and many cool add-ons are Blender 4.x only.

The world has more color.

I think there is ample space for NSFW games and art, even of the kinky and outrageous kind, in a liberal world, which he haven't really had since the 1980s onwards.

Always has been. The late 1960s proved it. I'm so ready for a new hippie / counterculture movement!

In 2011/2012, comments kept popping up in the NSFW indie game community blaming feminists for the growing prudism.

I tried to stay out of it, but every two years it's a new scapegoat and new outrage. "SJWs" "CRT" "woke" "DEI" and on and on.

Fuck conservatism. Fuck right wingers. Fuck Russia.

So, well, hello Bluesky.

I'm an introvert and not very outspoken, still quietly working on getting *that* game finished when life allows me to.

A good friend I used to work with left Xitter the moment that bastard took over. That was the right moment and the right choice. So I'm late to the party.
