i'm victor!
- he/him.
- birdwatcher, writer, professional editor, and game developer.
- currently working on BLANKSWORD!
i will say: i did kind of assume transition would fix all of my insecurities. alas, i think i'm extra concerned with *being* my best self now that i'm starting to *look* like my best self. there's this fear there that i... need to earn it, somehow? earn recovery, earn love, earn care

sometimes the ludo and the narrative are indeed dissonant. in fact i would say quite often these days that the ludo and the narrative are almost always dissonant. but i guess we collectively decided that narrative is to games what the cardboard box is to a fleshlight

my most cancelable video game hot take is that i think "ludonarrative dissonance" is a useful term

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Doing my comic reposts every morning is a bit of a chore, but it's also nice to start the day with a small win. I made something nearly two decades ago that still makes folks happy.

I'm the English localization editor for HORSES, and if you want to play it, you can't buy it on Steam ❤️
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

i love that my fursona is a little paper doll who i put in various fancy outfits while karma's fursona is an obligate nudist. ideally i think they should feel like they're from two different genres of animaniacs skits and were star-crossed from meeting under executive mandate

Finally finished this move in LEVIATHAN, my in-dev mech pilot game. The Bonding Moves push characters towards moments of healing and intimacy, either emotionally or physically. The one exception is when they're on the brink of death.

my soulsov 3 thoughts have been in the percolator for a few days... loic's lack of boundaries is such a compelling character flaw. i rarely see it handled with as many teeth as it ought to have -- it's one of those innocuous personality traits that can definitely ruin lives left unchecked

It was a delight to paint Eclair's portrait! I hope she didn't get too bored while I was painting.

it's truly fascinating to live in a time in which anti LGBT violence is rising again and somehow Interview With A Vampire, the gayest show ever filmed, is on the air and wildly popular

Making more progress in early stage dev for LEVIATHAN, today honing the table materials. The most productive, fruitful, and downright fun focus group session so far, home game group remains unbeaten (apologies in advance to @windienine.bsky.social for my usual quality of organization in notetaking)
