a flashy drawing of a brown-skinned character with light blue hair wearing a shiny bodysuit. they are drawn in a chibi style similar to sonic adventure's artstyle, and have a cheeky grin and a large nose. theyre wearing big trainers, and one of their eyes is glowing blue. a signature at the bottom reads 'TACKYVILLAIN'

the game awards never feature anything close to visual novels so I'm going to recommend 20 indie visual novels

i've been thumbnailing my key art for use as a steam capsule! thumbnailing for a big piece is always a lot of work for very slow messy results, but now i've got it nailed down (i'm using the last one) i can jump into the full illustration and it's downhill from here! #vndev #indiedev #ocsky
four thumbnails for key art. they each feature a sweeping blue road with antigravity vehicles zooming along it, followed by coloured trails. there are three figures on the right, the main characters capital, orion, and maxime. there's a shiny logo that reads 'slipstream daydreams' in the bottom left corner.

WD: above all else, complete and release Slipstream Daydreams!!!!!
but i also have two smaller (read: better scoped..!) projects in mind that I'd really love to start at least one of if SSDD doesn't consume another year of development 😰

If you've ever wanted a definitive Ren'Py screens tutorial that starts from zero, I'm going to make you regret that /jk

Part 1-3 are already out. This is going to take a while...

Slipstream Daydreams' logo has a tighter look! I was bothered by the previous version looking a little plain when juxtaposed with the super bright and gummy game art, so now it's got some extra detail and polish 🐬 #vndev #indiedev
four logos for Slipstream Daydreams, the top one an older version, the bottom three more developed and including more colours. it has a y2k inspired style and features a cloud behind the text, and star and heart motifs

october's task was implementing sound and music throughout SSDD! the trickiest part of it was getting the timers to play a ticking sound - did you know vboxes dont pass "show" events? 💀 thanks to a couple folk's help in the devtalk server i got it working though ✌️

Slipstream Daydreams isn't just about steamy romance off the track - in between Orion's flashbacks you'll need to navigate a high-speed race! 🚀

Orion's sprite is nearly there, which means I get to play dolls in engine ☺️ seeing the character and background art together is so fulfilling 🌈🐬 #vndev #ocsky

I am once again showing off how cool the physical copies of my game are.

And I am once again reminding you that I have a free zine about how to make your own physical copies here:
priro.itch.io/holdingthebaby
a physical copy of my game parfum nostalgique. it's a circular USB card custom printed with my main character on it with a flip-out flash drive and a blue tassel attached to a blue shell-shaped perfume bottle card in a watercolor style. a physical copy of my game parfum nostalgique. it's a circular USB card custom printed with my main character on it with a flip-out flash drive and a blue tassel attached to a blue shell-shaped perfume bottle card in a watercolor style.

really excited to share my first complete character sprite 🗣️
Capital has six expressions with two eyes and three mouths each, for ace attorney style mouth flaps and blinks! this was a lot of work (more than i anticipated💦) but i think the resulting polish is well worth it #vndev #ocsky

i'm working on Capital's sprites - i haven't replaced the sketch version of his blink asset yet, so currently his eyebrows flash red to ward away predators 😭

making vn is easy you just write a book and then you read back each line from that book and think what facial expression are they making and then you draw each expression and then line by line you add a tag for the face they are making. the best part is you only have to do this a few thousand times

the thing about setting my visual novel in a y2k future is i get to parody mascots from the era with my protagonist orion :D groovy chick was EVERYWHERE in the uk back then!! style icon!! 🌼🩷
#y2k #oc
text reads "orion cruz" a drawing based on the y2k mascot Groovy Chick instead featuring a blue-haired brown-skinned nonbinary in a wave patterned bodysuit, wearing big trainers and holding headphones

I've gathered 200+ romance-themed visual novels from 100+ developers across the globe and categorized them by romance type, genre, mechanics, amount of love interests, and more. NO EXCUSES TO NOT PLAY ROMANCE VNS ANYMORE!!!

It's so retro anime aesthetic that it makes life in a military base amid a zombie apocalypse look comfy.

another background for my vn! it was fun coming up with clutter for this kitschy interview set 🛼🐬🚀 for this one i modelled the shelves in blender and traced them - work smarter not harder 😘
(empty shelves will be covered by sprites, dont worry) #vndev
