I cannot BELIEVE we haven't talked about Loyola yet. no wonder we don't have a million wishlists.

anyway this is Loyola 🐈
An illustration of a cat, sitting with one paw in front of her, with an interested expression. She is a tortoiseshell cat with dark fur across one half of her face and lighter fur across the other half, a dark back, light paw, and orange accents across her side and above her eyes. She is a gorgeous, beautiful, lovely cat.

Finally implemented a fun little bonus feature: multiple text box colours! In addition to the default red, two other versions show up in certain circumstances. Now, when might you run into these colour schemes...? 🤔

A screenshot of a visual novel. The background shows the bustling plaza of a ruined city, crowds of people backed by destroyed skyscrapers. Surrounding the image is a purple and black gradient border. Text box reads, "It's quieter than usual today. People look at you as you emerge, then look away." A screenshot of a visual novel. The background image shows endless grey dunes on a sunny day. In the foreground is a tan man with a beard and dark hair. Surrounding the image is a purple and tan gradient border. Text box reads, "You grow weak as you walk on. You know you should eat, but your food is so limited."

DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator is an adult visual novel set in a world that's burned to ash, and all you care about is getting by and getting off. #PitchYaGame

A screenshot of a visual novel. The background art depicts a city plaza at sunset, with a large number of people milling about. The city is in ruins. Text reads, "The energy around the plaza is different. People are returning from their jobs, relaxing after putting in the work needed to survive." A screenshot of a screen labelled "Inventory." On the right are two rows of items such as a water bottle and a granola bar. On the left are hunger and thirst gauges and spaces for text. Text reads, "A reusable water bottle. Currently two-thirds full. Reduces thirst." A screenshot of a visual novel. The background art depicts a sparse room with the windows boarded up. There are supplies lining the shelves. In the foreground is an illustration of a man with a mustache, wearing a tank top. Text reads, "Raul: On your knees." A screenshot from a visual novel of art without text or UI elements. The illustration is of the interior of a wagon. A gray-haired man sits at the front of the wagon, facing away from the viewer, wearing headphones. On the floor of the wagon are two nude men, one on top of the other. The top man's cock is deep inside the bottom's ass.

I've been using royalty-free sound effects exclusively so far, but today I had something specific in mind for the sound of a board game box being opened and couldn't quite find it, so I just went ahead and recorded the sound myself. 💪

For this month's devlog, we're looking back at the game's beginnings with some very early concept art. The look of the characters has changed a lot over the years! davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as...

Concept Art (and release update)
As we approach release, I've been thinking back on how much the game has changed since we started development over four years ago. I thought it might be fun to share some of those reminisces with you....

An edit of an image from The Onion. Text reads, "Area Man Has Naked-Man Fetish." The image has had an illustration of a tan, bearded man in a green jacket pasted over it.

An edit of a bluesky post originally by bombsfall.bsky.social. The profile picture has been changed to an illustration of a tan bearded man. The display name is "Protag" and the username is "solosurvivor.bsky.social." Post text reads, "apparently I have to "eat food" to survive wtf"

Well... I should have checked this beforehand. 🙈

We will NOT be streaming DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator on Steam because Steam does not allow streams of adult games!

Hope everyone's enjoying the festival though. 😅 #FallinLoveFestival
A screenshot of a dark web page with text. A heading reads, "Overview." Below that it says, "In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to broadcast your game on the Steam storefront." A smaller header reads, "Before You Begin." Then, in a blue box, text reads, "Note: Games marked as "Adult-Only" cannot be streamed on the Steam store."
