Ohhhhhh, I know that umm dolpins do have special inverted nipples to get milk out of underwater. But that's about my knowledge of dolphin stuff.

I know horseshoe crabs have like a weird lil genital claw alongside also I think some other inverts

Wait dolphins can grab things with their nipples too?
January 31, 2026 at 3:48 AM
Once in Feb I hope to be just getting stuff done smoothly again.
January 31, 2026 at 3:07 AM
Yeah, behind the scenes I've done some progress but some IRL non-game stuff came up too which distracted me. Some of it needed me to be available on social media.

I ended up being more distracted and sliding back into doomscrolling due to not using cold turkey.
January 31, 2026 at 3:07 AM
Thank you! A lot rides on screenshots in early development to guide the tone of the game. So I'm glad it worked out.
January 31, 2026 at 3:05 AM
Like there's something sympathetic about super squishy delicate parts of a monster.
January 31, 2026 at 3:04 AM
Yeah, I think part of the problem with too many dicks is that if everything is penis then nothing really is anymore.

That's why I think having like nipple fingers helps give a sense of sexual body horror while being kind of cute.
January 31, 2026 at 3:04 AM
You're right that the visuals and gameplay can elevate if I carefully plot them out so maybe the final result will work out.

Right now it's just a really polarizing game.
January 31, 2026 at 3:01 AM
That's true.

It's more just I've had beta readers for the work and the general reaction isn't very positive.

It's hard to explain but the game grew out of a bunch of discarded failed game ideas and due to that it's sort of a frankenstein's monster plot.
January 31, 2026 at 3:00 AM
Yeah, I typically read the stuff that drifts in through archive.org and other channels like that. It's tough affording books with how expensive they are.

I have a library that's decent but it takes their holds system a million years to get anything.

Right now, the art is a little too finished to make dramatic changes to.

Technically shes like mid transformation so you could argue it looks weird in this one panel because of that.

My hope was for kinda like nipple fingers but that's also tough to convey.

Homestuck is really hard to get into.

Sometimes the web is weird since there's stuff I think is really popular and turns out to be obscure and then the opposite. Especially in the age of itch where everything can be a tempest in a teapot.
January 27, 2026 at 11:03 PM
I think the world keeps moving regardless of what happens to you so that's a really apt description.

The writing in this game is weak so I'm hoping to help bridge that gap through the art.
January 27, 2026 at 11:01 PM
Yeah, unfortunately the game is a lot less crunchy in the actual version.

I haven't figured out how to bridge that gap since social media is hard.
January 27, 2026 at 11:00 PM
Yeah, this is my first time working with a fully modern engine in a long time so I'm still trying to figure out art.

I'm glad I kinda managed to get it right this time.
January 27, 2026 at 10:56 PM
I'm glad I was able to convey my intent as an artist.

I try to sugarcoat pain in cute and I hope it works out.
January 27, 2026 at 10:54 PM
Goodnight also thank you for your advice it helped
January 26, 2026 at 4:29 AM
thank you for real, like that was legit good feedback and idk

Ive been thinking a lot about bodies more as I try to draw them and theres so much that's automatic that we take for granted.
January 26, 2026 at 4:29 AM
noooo aaaa no worries

I've struggled drawing body horror as an artist since its not familiar.

I am a terrible painter and like doing quick linework but aaaaa

also im really sleepy but thank you for being positive about the game.

I hope I can finish so you cant try it
January 26, 2026 at 4:28 AM
making games is pretty neat, I like doing that

making games saved my life so idk, I think its as good a thing as any.

though im gonna sleep really soon
January 26, 2026 at 4:25 AM
You were right, the jiggle really helped having them at sorta different paces.
January 26, 2026 at 4:24 AM
For body horror it needs painting but it makes me miserable.

Please take care of yourself. I typically try to not boss people around on staying alive or dying but it'd fuck with me if you dropped dead so personally I hope you get better.

Please take care.
January 26, 2026 at 4:11 AM
I can separate the hands from behind one still image to two pretty easily and give them different speeds slightly so I'll go do that now before I sleep.

I usually dont paint since im a slow painter but getting flesh effects properly is impossible to do with linework alone.
