And I don't know if people would really want to go through my spaghetti code that was never designed for adding new additions.
I think I'd be embarrassed if people saw how my code was back then xD
I am trying to design my future games to be less hard-coded, however, to better facilitate modding.
Thx :D
And yeahh, honestly, I had already stopped working on that project for several reasons before the whole payment processor stuff.
But it did put me off making anything new for a while.
As for modding, sadly, I have 0 clue how to facilitate that in Unity outside of open-sourcing the files.
Thought I'd also give an update on my "Reigns but TF" game as well. Currently, I'm in the process of redoing all the current pixel art into a simple vector style instead.
I felt the pixel style had some readability issues, and I was getting a bit frustrated with the medium in general.
Small DOS-inspired TF game mock-up. (don't worry, still working on the other game)
But I always wanted to make a TF sandbox game, where you have an environment with NPCs where you craft TFs to unleash on them.
The main hurdle was always art, so I thought, what if it were more text-based instead?
I get it, you're tired of seeing TF pixel art, it's been done before, it's no longer unique enough for you.
Well, have I got just the thing!
Behold, to my knowledge, the first and only "NSFW" TF ASCII art xD
Just a fun experiment.

Glad to hear you like it :)
Thanks! Tho the base game will probably be SFW, so I can actually choose to sell it on places like the Android Store or Itch and not get destroyed by payment providers.
But I would plan to make a separate patch/mod that adds in the spicy stuff ;P I'm also trying to ensure the game is moddable.
Another lil sneak peek at some of the systems I'm making for my Reigns but TF game.
Opps, all donk.
Yeah, 1 is pretty cramped. 2 feels the cleanest, but the hotbar has been sacrificed. 3 Keeps all the resources in one place, which I like from a UX perspective, and 4 is an out there experiment xD
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I need to figure out the font. It also doesn't help that the screen grab isn't the highest quality.
Need some opinions on the overall UI design for a TF Reigns-like game I'm making.
Can't run a poll on Bluesky, so it's only on the other site, I'm afraid.

Polls for Bluesky when?
Would you buy a potion from this definitely not at all suspicious, upstanding, tax-paying sheep?
I hear with full mastery of the Cow skill, you can unlock and upgrade powerful abilities like "Chew Cud", "Front Kick" and "Produce Milk".
You can also earn unique, powerful equipment, such as cow shoes, bells and nose rings, to further increase your cow-related stats!
The skill also comes in Demi flavour!
Don't you just hate it when you're last in line to pick a unique skill, and only the weird ones are left?
Like, how is anyone meant to know what a skill simply called Cow does? It doesn't even explain how it gains XP. And now it won't stop levelling :(

Some random sketches. Trying out a lower-res style that is more in line with stereotypical game sprite sizes.
Currently aiming to keep my sprites under 64x64px.

New TF pixel art from 8Bit Familiar in my 2026. SMH. #Transfur #Pixelart #TFEveryday
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you liked it :)
Hopefully, enough people push back on monopoly payment processors telling us what we can and can't spend our money on; it's not their job to do so.
They are pretty much blackmailing other companies to do as they say or sink.
Thanks.
I don't currently have any plans for any updates on previous projects. My current focus has been prototyping, testing, failing and prototyping again several ideas this year.
I should hopefully have something to show for it, eventually >.<
Thx, it is looking pretty bad at the moment for any nsfw artists who actually want to make a living from their work, especially if it was via games or paid comics.
Honestly, didn't even know there was a desktop client for Itch.
Guess it's a workaround for the time being.
Yeah, I'm hearing apparently can't download the game even if you previously purchased it. Which is crazy, hopefully enough people fight back on this.
Otherwise, small indie nsfw games, that want to make a living, are kinda dead outside Patreon/Substar (And they are likely next to get hit)
I am officially making my old half-baked abandoned POV TF game free for everyone.
With the recent changes to Itch, rather than just having the game no longer be purchasable, now is as good a time as any to make it free.

Who even knows... Itch is most likely just going scotched earth on anything that could upset the cry baby payment processors.
It seems only certain nsfw TF projects have been straight up removed. Everyone else is just shadow-banned with their work no longer showing up on the store.
Wtf? It's so Jover. This is BS.
Is nsfw TF now just blanked banned cause crybaby payment processors say so?
My game follows the guidelines set by itch.
(Honestly, it was time I made this game F2P, cause it is abandoned, BUT THAT IS FAR BESIDES THE POINT!)
