It’s lesbian visibility week and I am once again asking that y’all view my black lesbians!!!!

Concept art showing a horizontal lineup of three headshots of Yuno: front view, 3/4 view and side view.

I'm back to working on my game (yay)
these are just headshots, but I'm thinking of doing this art style for dialogue sprites 🤔

designing some small playground equipment at the moment, and I think my favourite may be this small swing with working pendulum physics

Cover image from Bloom including, from left to right, Albion, Felix, Caelan, Astra, and Qwynn. Image at the bottom reads "The Power of Pride Itch.io Bundle 2026" Bloom's logo sits at he top right.

Bloom was accepted into this year's Power of Pride Bundle!

I'm so excited to have Bloom be a part of something that supports Queer creatives ❤️

CG Illustration preview for The Witch is No Good for You. Feature Anh, a green-skinned dryad with branches for horns kissing Allin's hand. Alt text tags for my feeds: #ZACbytesgames #JamKatsArt

Made a lot of progress on "The Witch is No Good for You" CGs this morning! 🥀

Meet Anh (he/him), a dryad scholar and Allin's best friend. He's a breath of fresh air and provides comfort in the aftermath of the Witch's destruction.

He's also very calming to draw >w<

The Necromancer's Toque | UI mock-up of the Equipment pop-up, featuring wearable toques and sceptres

The Necromancer's Toque | UI mock-up of the Workbench, featuring craftable upgrades (9) and sceptres (3)

Some hand-drawn UI elements: the backgrounds, icons and arrows were made in Procreate (as the entirety of the game's assets) 💀✏

If you get to play the build, you'll see how much more satisfying they are in game thanks to our programmer Julien's animations and @marinahascoffee.bsky.social's sfx 🩶

inversion of the idle genre would be to make a game where you micromanage absolutely everything. it's a turn-based simulation game and if you don't instruct a character to breathe during their turn they just die

really hate region-locked genders

based on The Lantern Bearers by maxfield parrish ✨

manga panel from Higurashi When they Cry manga Meakashi-hen He's unreliable....and inept.

need more romantic realizations where the person goes "he's dumb as shit" (shoujo sparkles)

The prophecy cannot be stopped

here it is on the ayn thor too :) got it recently and it's made it so much easier for me to play the visual novels in my backlog. also i loved the effort y'all put into your devlogs for this game! they helped me feel way less overwhelmed starting my first game jam

our silly little jam game is out! 🖤

my first swing may be moody and hopefully have some body horror but i'm planning on doing mer jam after this 😭 and i don't think i'll be sticking with the horror tone for that, at least so far. who knows

i know its something i'll tackle when i get there but i do feel anxiety when it comes to "the first project"

yeah, it doesn't set the tone for everything i make in the future, but it still is going to be people's first impression of me as a creator for awhile and that's scary! #vndev

ooh this is interesting. does the same thing happen if they're named something else? or do they need to be fully hidden in some way?

yaoi visual novel where you romance chinese celestial entities. call it Man Date of Heaven

negative reviews when the visual novel protagonist isn’t a self-insert:

super sick style and vibe u.u

an unfinished work in progress bust-up of Yuto, the winter spirit from the romance visual novel "3 Seasons"

an unfinished work in progress bust-up of Rye, the autumn spirit from the romance visual novel "3 Seasons"

haven't posted this before so just wanna show the WIPs of these 2

tested colour on the sketch assuming i'd redo the lines later but rye turned out flawlessly damn it so now I have to keep those and clean them up 😔 am I complaining? yes but also no because I love him

WIP screenshot of Et le grain mourut in which Pauline is seen holding her left wrist with her right hand in her sprite.

Another screenshot of ELGM; the sprite of another character, Thérèse, re-uses the same pose.

the ace attorney thing where two characters who have a connection of some kind share some sprite poses

playing with beepbox to try to put together a bgm track even tho i cannot music for the life of me.

new issue: made something i like, but it is 1) too short and 2) simply too groovy for a dark dungeon escape plot

Fan Art Illustration of the movie Queen and Slim: A Black man in a red track suit sits next to a Black woman in an animal patterned skirt and boots. They are in front of a teal car, and a green floral pattern is in the background.

Fan Art Illustration depicting Black Samus Aran with braids floating in space while wearing the Varia Suit, amongst a crowd of green Metroids. They float in front of an open hexagon door-like shape.

Four Monster Girls in front of a floral pattern: A yellow cyclops with purple hair, wearing a school girl uniform, with a hand for a head, sitting cross legged. A ginger haired, blue skinned girl with large claw-like hands, a stomach mouth, and black top and shorts in socks. A Black woman without eyeballs, welding witch-like magical hair shaped like hands forming a form fitting dress as she sits admiring a ringed finger. And a silver android with an exposed brain and muscle like sections amongst separated plating, holding a large knife.

A pixel art illustration of a Red Bird mascot raising a winged arm victoriously saying 'Memphis, Memphis, Memphis!' on top of a gray pyramid. In the back ground is a blue Grizzly mascot wearing a jersey holding a basket ball, in front of blue and green city buildings. In the far background are shadows of a city scape and bridge.
