My entry for #yaoijam2025 (called Midnight Hour) has gone live!

It's an early demo with around 30 minutes of gameplay,
(I plan to do an extended demo later this year, but I wanted to make sure I got this out a bit before the deadline)

It's a bad day, and posting a bird isn't gonna fix shit, but also, NOT posting a bird isn't going to fix shit either, so here's a bird

(photo by me)

An Eastern Phoebe sits facing forward (toward camera) on right hand side of a defunct branch, surrounded by the little feathery leaves of whatever greenery grows around it. The bird has a downy poofy white front because the bird is in full Birb Mode, just a Total Floof or, in the older parlance, an Absolute Unit, which nobody says anymore and it's probably cringe, but birds don't give a fuck about cringe. The wind is tugging on its feathers just a little. Giving them a tiny Farrah Fawcett swoop. The bird's dark head is tilted downward looking slightly to the left of frame, in a look that could be best described as "Oh, what the fuck." There is a look of both alarm and agita on the bird's face, and honestly, given everything going on, who can blame it. Oh, what the fuck INDEED, bird. What the fuck indeed. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Visual novel haters do not interact 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Doce Fim is a love letter to my favorite visual novels. Some of the characters in the game love and appreciate them as much as I do!

#ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #VNDev

Screenshot of in-progress visual novel Doce Fim. It shows a clubroom and three characters - Kaoru, who is wearing a paper bag on his head, Rikka, and Lion. The textbox reads: "Some of the greatest games out there are visual novels. Gamers all
over the world have no idea of what they're missing by restricting themselves."

I just really love this Ipomoea artwork and I thought I'd share it again ✨

#art #oc #ocsky

Ipomoea is standing while holding a thin branch in her hands, some of the flowers scattering in the wind. Behind her there is a large tree in bloom with white, glowing flowers. There is a pond in the background, and in the distance a building that looks like an observatory can be seen that is built with the forest trees. The piece has a frame embellished with stars and a crescent moon in the upper right corner.

The more detailed version is here, this took me longer than I expected hehe… anyway i gave up on drawing the legs and doing a more conventional pose for this, and then everything sailed smoothly. Second image is just the lineart for the clothes alone. Time for the final drawing!

A small pond surrounded by a springtime garden. Reflections of trees and Rhodies can be seen in the water. Floating Lily Pads spot the top of the pond. A newly leafed Willow hangs gently in the foreground, grazing the top of the water. Picture is blurred

This fluffy raptor is one of my favourite owls. I caught him getting settled on this snowy log. I know it's a male since females have more spots. Males are mostly white.

What a morning at Bamburgh yesterday. Thought the van windows had just steamed up at first but no, it was real mist!

Nice to bump into @jongibbsphoto.bsky.social and Rick Bowden in the dunes after this glorious sunrise.

'Why do they HAVE to make them trans?!'

I was told by a certain crowd that if we want trans people we should 'make our own media' , so why is there an issue XD

I make Moonlit as something for myself, trans folk and anyone else who might enjoy it. ❤️
