The games industry continues to be dismantled by the executive class. The damage these companies have done across the business can’t be overstated. Warner Bros. is one of the most destructive, poisonous entities in entertainment. Anything they buy up is to be immediately mourned.

I don't have Apple TV, so watching Severence isn't an option, but Ima be honest, I don't think I would anyway, because I find the entire concept too horrifying and bleak to engage with... I play games like Fear and Hunger and Femdom University 0 for fun, yo. #severance #adultgames #fearandhunger

Panic as laptop stopped working this morning. I was told the answer might have to be to wipe all the data which obviously was not an option and was quite stressful… He fixed it. Turned out the problem was I had A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND ITEMS ON MY DESKTOP. Which apparently isn’t best practice…

I downloaded a bunch of the H game demos on Next fest. I tried a VN and it's not bad, but WHY would you put out a demo with no music or sound? It is not hard to get cheap or free CC0 music and sound effects. Like not even a little bit hard! #gamedev #visualnovel #steam #nextfest

Turns out I was able to fudge the locker's position since the nearest wall was already out of the shot. Ordinarilly I like to finish 2 or 3 shots on an #art day or at least get the elements rendered, but this shot required way too much fiddling so it's all I got done today. #poser #nsfw #gamedev

One of the pains of working in 3d is balancing camera placement with continuity. I'm a big fan of fudging and faking but sometimes that's just not an option and you have to work with what you've got. Limitations are good. People who ignore that are why CG so often looks bad. #nsfw #gamedev #poser

I bought some games on the Kagura sale. One of them is a Zelda-esque dungeon crawler called "The Dead End." It ended up being a really fun game. I will say though it has the most shockingly crass title screen EVER: I am shocked every time I reset the game. #nsfw #hentai #kagura #jrpg #bondage

I've largely been developing my game as I go (like I did my mods) with only a vague idea of endings until now. But seeing I am past the half-way point of my target length... I have started plotting out the endings, and boy do I feel better. I can land this puppy. #gamedev #visualnovel #branching

I just heard about this show the other day because Ashly Burch (who I adore) was on Taylor Tomlinson's show. I looked into it but when I saw it was on Apple TV, I just made a huge fart noise with my mouth. Guess that's why I never heard of it. I miss TV. This cyberpubnk dystopia fucking sucks ass.

i think half of "talent" is just a person happening to have fun doing whatever it is they're supposedly talented at, and not hating it. i was "talented" at art at age 3 but if i'd stopped drawing at age 3 because i found it tedious or unrewarding, i'd probably pretty much draw like a 3-year-old now

I put my money where my mouth is and started buying H games from places without DRM. It's only a minor inconvenience to deal with handling stuff like controller compatibility. I'm not anti #steam. I wish I could trust them not to comply with Theocratic fascists. #adultgames #hentai #drmfree #nsfw

1 of 2: Being colorblind, color symbolism is tricky. I'm doing a scene taking place as the player is experiencing #subspace. ( #bdsm not Sci-fi ). In addition to other things I'm laying a filter over the scene. I chose Baker-Miller pink as the color of submission. #nsfw #gamedev #colortheory

I don't care how cool it looks. When I make my next game I will not include restraints with any dangly bits, It is such a pain in the ass to pose chains and padlocks every time I make a new sprite or CG. I imagine a military themed SF story so I can also have short hair. 🤨 #nsfw #gamedev #poser

GREED is to blame for their woes. Any dev that stuck with them who wasn't already balls deep in a project is foolish, especially when there are equal quality if not better tools available for many of the things people use Unity to make. People actually make #visualnovels with #unity... like... WHY?

Having finished the flogging scene in my game, I'm back to #art creation. Here's a #poser tip for setting up scenes: Using canned poses (commercial or free) is a good idea but mainly as a starting point. Often what you end up with will suit your scene better. #nsfw #gamedev #visualnovel #lgbtq

Not to quote Han Solo... but sometimes I amaze myself. The animation for the #flogging scene works BEAUTIFULLY in game. Impressive since I can't really preview this shit till it's FINISHED. Comes down to years of hand drawing #animation as a kid from flipbooks to stop motion. #gamedev #visualnovel

One of the most irritating things about long term #art projects be it a #comic, illustrated book, or a #visualnovel... is how much your craft improves as you go. This ends up making the earlier art look bad in comparison. Even so it's very important that you don't get bogged down redoing it.

Though it has been an absolute nightmare to make, and is taking forever relative to what is typical. This #flogging scene I'm working on is coming out really hot. Hopefully the animated elements work as well as the rest. #gamedev #visualnovel #poser #3dart #bdsm #lgbtq #nsfw #lesbian #bondage

Here's an EXTREMELY basic ren'py tip, but one a beginner might not intuit. If fading a scene to black and then back in to a new scene, you would probably want any UI elements you might have to fade along with the art. Here is an example of how to do that: #gamedev #tutorial #ren'py #visualnovel

One of the things I am most proud of in my game is how I've been able to play with sensory deprivation for the player. It's some ideas I've had rattling around since Hardship, that I implemented to a limited degree in the player slave content for NMS. #gamedev #nsfw #blindfold #visualnovel #3dart

Casual reminder that a game having mixed reviews might not mean it's actually bad, it might mean that it's tailored close enough to your personal dream game preferences to actively put other prople off it

Once again I'm here pleading people who play indie games to rate them/recommend them if they enjoyed them 🙏 Too many times I've experienced people telling me they liked my games (either in a comment, DM or during a stream/gameplay) but then don't rate them.

I’m an unpublished, unproven and amateur game dev, but I’d suggest that giving yourself breaks and forgiving yourself when you get “stuck” is the route to producing a good, fun and decent game as an indie dev #gamedev #Godot #solodev

God, I am enjoying, Star Knightess Aura. The switching back and forth between Aura and Alicia... who's goals are diametrically opposed is just so refreshing. Gonna be brutally honest. I like this game a lot more than Metaphor Refantazio which I find a chore to play. #adultgame #rpg #hentai #indie

I'm making the conscious choice to move away from patronizing #steam for #adultgames. With the current climate I am more and more concerned that eventually the theocratic Right will come for our #porn, and that is not the time to "not own" it. From now on I'll try to buy direct from pubs or #gog.

I've minimized #bdsm corporal punishment scenes in my game cause it's a bitch to do the #animation in #ren'py. Beyond the #artwork (which is hard enough) It's absolutely vital that the sounds time with the visuals (which isn't necessarily the case with the #sex scenes.) #gamedev #nsfw #visualnovel
