currently working on a coding project, it’s a quiz game for my partner that i’m giving him to play on our anniversary. It’s going really well so far and i’m really proud of myself for how much progress i’ve made. I hope he loves it 🤍 if anyone knows python/pygame gimme some tips will ya cuz even though i’m doing well i am still a beginner and I’ll take any advice i can get. thank you! also let me know if you want to see the finished project when it’s done 🌅

Potentially the last day of testing for me with my game FriendShapes, then it's for testers to check a final time... it's been a whole lot of work, most of it wrestling with bloody RPG Maker MV and its occasionally severe limitations and ton of plugins used - but it's basically finished

Demo's been up for years and hasn't caught many people's attention, I'm hoping it being the full release will convince people to give it a ago - most people don't want to play a demo, they want the whole thing at once... either way, game'll be done and dusted 🤘

Plot twist, the game has been 60 fps all along

The stepping stone, an irredeamable post mortem

A big challenge when making any creative product is being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of ideas you want to express. It can be very difficult to decide what will be part of the first story and what will have to remain unknown. Irredeamable was a particularly difficult case as i wasn`t only trying to make a cohesive world for the game itself, but the first building block of a greater setting that require its own lot of setups. In such conditions, everything felt important and it took a lot of restraint to cut things down until only a tease of the true scope remained. Overall, it was a huge mess to work out, but I'm happy with the result and i feel a lot more free and focused in the pursuit of my future projects now that the foundation has been set up to build upon and i can use the previous reveals to do a lot of foreshadowing with very little.

life update:

trying to make a visual novel without having any experience with coding

...I haven't even finished act one of this game and I'm close to 1000 lines of code...

Still not done with act one. Not even at the final scene of it yet.

So you've picked your character. Do you really like them? Do you wanna know more? If the answer is yes, then I encourage you to keep an eye out for my slasher visual novel That's My Boy

It follows Riley, the third option in the poll above, as he dabbles in the occult and summons a demon to help him summon his dead mother. There's murder-y homoeroticism, dark humor, a polyamorous romance option, original music composed by me, and BLOOD!!!! :D

You can follow me here and also find me on itch.io if you wanna stay updated and be among the first to play the game when I release the first chapter.

I originally wanted to make my game more dull and gritty, because it's a slasher, but after thinking about Lisa Frankenstein and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice my love for bright colors is kicking in and I will make my horror game look like an 80s unicorn picked out the color palette so help me god

Definitely one of the best lines I've ever written.

Y'all would find it even more funny if you could see the character who's saying it

Out here missing the neanderthals. Might make a game about it

nsfw mentions below the cut

So the neat thing about my game is that the protagonist is the ultimate giga chad and has everybody around him begging to ride the strap, which should be funny to watch people get mad about cuz trans men are supposed to be subby-bottom uwu babies or something like that.

my friend's reactions to some of my original music so far:

Bonus: Me talking about one of the characters

I'm close to done with the first "chapter" of That's My Boy, but I'm getting a little burned out and uninspired at the moment which makes sense cuz I've been working on it for like a month straight.

So of course my adhd brain decided that not doing something was highly illegal, so now I'm working on another horror game. ;-;

"We need more weird queers!" Y'all can't even handle a trans man going on an axe-murdering spree and topping a demon.
