We're planning to release Terranova in Japanese 🇯🇵, Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷, and Russian 🇷🇺 and need your help!
We need to take time off work to import text and re-build the game and about 240,000 yen (1,664 USD) to cover bills during that time.

I know a ton of folks have Thoughts™️ around the PayPro censorship bullshit and the Adult Analysis Anthology is the perfect home to articulate them in. Highly recommend pitching, or if you're not a writer, supporting the fundraiser sale when it goes live. AAA is going to stay important in this fight.

Merry Christmas! Something we're very thankful for this year: With a mix of Ko-Fi subscriptions (!!!) and new client work, we have the funds to pay our localizers and are moving forward slowly with making multiple language versions of Terranova. Yay! 🎉

The next Ren'Py game mabbees and I will be working on is brushing up the prototype of The Frontier ( buff.ly/zznsPuk). I'm really looking forward to implementing more complex features—in particular, I have been poking around with Live2D to do subtle animations in the player sprites.
The Frontier by illuminesce
A yuri game about the aftermath of a utopian hellscape.

Bubble Butt is currently 40% off on Steam (buff.ly/oZBCLrV ), so it seems like as good a time as any to repost my specific learnings from the game! This is for Ren'Py—if you're working on a visual novel, these might be useful to you, too. 🧵

I often give back in the form of organizing events, because that seems to be something I'm good at; making an atmosphere that is warm and friendly. I've been running Global Game Jam (ggjtokyo.neocities.org), a 48-hour game hackathon, here in Tokyo for five years.

Something personal I wanna share: As a nonbinary game dev, I always have this sense that I'm never quite where I'm supposed to be. Do I know enough programming to be called a game developer? Is my game "good enough?" Is my art? Is my writing? Do I belong here? 🧵

How’s everyone feeling with Thanksgiving over and the holidays coming up?
I've been feeling pensive, myself. Sometimes I wonder if we have to trade a core part of ourselves for the feeling of belonging. Or if belonging is something that's made, over time through the way we connect with others.
