Ok so... my first post here about my game (still) in development.
Apocalyptic Dream (often shorthanded to ApoYume) is a post-apocalyptic zombie horror visual novel, with heavy otome/amare themes and content. Every character has at least 1 of my physical/mental health ailments lol. #indiegamedev

So...I haven't been on here for months because I had to uninstall the app; I frequently run out of space because I have too many cat pics/vids. Not a joke. Forgot about desktop...
But... I have a new monster girl campaign live now!!

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

Mikio's birthday was last week...of course on the day I posted about Sayaka's 🤧
Mikio doesn't have ID or sprite art yet, only art in the PV coming up for the game later this year, which I don't want to share. So happy birthday in spirit, my guy. 🥲 He's a late-introduced main/side character. #gamedev

I had probably a collective 10hrs of sleep last weekend (Colossalcon), so while I kept telling myself to post about her birthday, I still forgot...🥲 happy 22nd, Sayaka. 💉💜

I will be debuting a ridiculous number of new shaker designs at #colossalcon this month. I procrastinated way too long and whipped up most of the artworks in a span of 72hrs. Excited to show them off on my new table display!

This is Plum, about 2 and a half years ago he turned up on our back porch, with a broken hip. Luckily we managed to save his leg and we've kept him indoors with us ever since. I try not to play favorites but he's my favorite. 💖 (even though he's CRAZY) @midnightsprings.bsky.social #rescuecat #cats

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me
Ernest S. Harbaugh, a Cybertruck owner from Ohio, states that 28 children laughed at his Cybertruck after a minor problem resulted in it being towed on a flatbed.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Happy 19th birthday, Hanako!
Hanako is one of Toshiro's possible LI in Apocalyptic Dream. She was a childhood friend of theirs...until a catastrophic incident. She's hiding a lot of secrets, but still wants to be there for the twins.

I made it in time!!! Happy birthday to Kyoko's late husband, Sousuke. 🥀 While it was a whirlwind romance, it was very cherished.
Sprite art as always by @sasamekuh.bsky.social but I died a little drawing his tattoos myself lol

This devastating decision means an enormous LOSS of critical jobs, countless kennels and thousands of lives.

These animals have no voice—so we must be theirs.

My calendar alert DID work for Kei, and it IS his birthday today!

Kei is Airi's boyfriend, they are both main characters who get backstory chapters. They are deeply in love.

His sprite is not yet finished.

I have been so busy with art deadlines that I forgot Arisa's birthday since my calendar alert didn't work 😓 Arisa is one of Toshiro's LIs and Kyoko's younger sister.

She is so far one of the fan favorites.
