Some more settings I've been working on.

The "off" option should be selected for most of them, still working on getting that to show.
A settings screen for a video game. The "Battle" tab is selected, with a handful of sliders under it. There is a slider for "Base Battle Speed", "Notification Speed", "Flavor Text Speed", and "Enemy AI Speed". Under that, there is an on off buttons for "Skip Battle Animations". A settings screen with the "Skip" tab selected. There are four options under this tab which can each be set to on or off: "skip unseen text", "skip transitions", "keep skip post-choice", and "keep skip post-battle".

This took so much longer than I thought it was going to, but I love how it turned out.

Egg and bacon omelet with melted cheese and black pepper on a hamburger bun. One of my favorite ways to start the day.
A sandwich with scrambled eggs, bacon, melted cheese and black pepper on a hamburger bun is to the left of a paper plate. Red apple slices sit to the right.

Why she scream?
A black cat stands on top of a dresser with her mouth wide open looking at the ceiling. She's looking away from the camera, but screaming loud enough for everyone to hear.

Now that it's not cold out anymore, time to put that winter coat to good use these next few months.
A dark blue winter coat sits balled up on a carpeted floor, a black cat is curled up tightly on top of it.

Working on accessibility features ^.^
A screenshot from an options menu. "Accessibility" is currently selected, with options to change text size, text contrast, text speed, line spacing, textbox transparency, text to speech, text to speech volume, base battle speed and notification speed. The final option is slightly cut off, implying there are more options under it.

Reminiscing about 2023 GDC. One year I'll be able to afford going back!
The picture is taken in a grassy park. In the background are a few trees with lush green leaves, one tree with no leaves, and one with pink flowers. Behind them is a glass convention center. In the foreground is a woman wearing a blue hoodie smiling at the camera. She's squinting because it's sunny. A group of people wearing lanyards sands for a group photo. The people in the front hold the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute flag, which has a coat of arms and the word "Rensselaer" emblazoned on the front. A picture of the Moscone Convention Center. It's a big glass building with a walkway connecting the two parts that are across the street from each other. Heavy car and foot traffic is seen on the road between the center's two parts. An egg sandwich with toasted broad, lettuce, bacon, a sunny side up egg, and sauce. The top piece of toast is left off to the side of the sandwich with a smiley face drawn using sauce on it. A glass of lemonade sits to the side of the sandwich.

I have been blessed by Poke God
An Arceus EX card drawn from the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket gacha. A trading card sits in the middle of a blue starry background while the card itself shines with a bright light. On the card the Pokemon Arceus is seen levitating over an ocean with rockers hovering around it and radiant light shining from its body.

A four panel comic. In the first plane, Charlie from the show Hazbin Hotel says to her wife Vaggie "VAGGIE!! Looks like it's an important letter!" In the second panel, Vaggie responds with "What! What is it?" and opens the letter. The third panel shows the letter, which says "I LOVE YOU!" in cute red letters surrounded by hearts. There's a rainbow at the bottom of the letter. The fourth panel shows Vaggie holding the letter and blushing while Charlie smiles behind her.

Spiderman pointing meme.
A screenshot from the Pokemon Trading Card Game mobile app. Both my opponent and I have Pikachu Ex in the active spot, as well as Zapdos and Blitzle on the bench. We essentially turned out to have the exact same deck.

This one's already pretty famous, but if you haven't downloaded it you need to now! The Ren'Py action editor gives a helpful visual interface to stage the sequences in your VN with.

Tool: github.com/kyouryuukunn...
Creator: Kyouryuukunn
A picture of our game The Songbird Guild in the Action Editor. The game's current scene is on top in a smaller window while a timeline of movement events and expression changes sits below it. Under that are the layers in the scene, with "master", "moons", and "sprites" visible in the screenshot. "Sprites" is expanded, showing "camera", "Claire", "Brie", "Kotori", and "(add image)" as options to interact with on that layer.

Ok, I'll jump on the bandwagon. 1 like = 1 link to a community tool you can use in developing your Ren'Py visual novel (or VNs in other engines as well if requested).
A picture of the first line in the playable tutorial that comes packaged with Ren'Py. The Ren'Py mascot Eileen says "Hi! My name is Eileen, and I'd like to welcome you to the Ren'Py tutorial."

Damn, I come back to Bluesky after a break and find out I've hit over 100 followers?

Ah, well thanks for following me everyone! I make snarky jokes about programming and game development while sometimes posting screenshots of game progress.

H-Hippo????
Contains a definition of the word Hippophile, which apparently means "a person who loves horses"

Gremlin professor who has literally lived much of her life in the woods (forcibly) hired by the theocratic government to teach rich nobility how to fight.

And then they act surprised when she joins the revolution.
