Olin from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, along with Dewott, Mabosstiff, and autumn-form Sawsbuck.
Like Deon, Olin gets a dog for his willingness to work hard and protect those he cares about, but the boss man gets Mabosstiff! Autumn-form Sawsbuck hints at him being in the autumn of his leadership days. And to round him off, this otter gets an otter described as 'studious and stern,' Dewott!
Deon from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, with Thwackey, Cascoon, and Herdier.
I saw Thwackey's adorable crossed arms and grumpy expression and knew it was right for Deon immediately! Cascoon communicates his hard, spiky exterior, while Herdier stands in for his loyalty and strong work ethic.
Casey from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, with Incineroar, Slakoth, and Alolan Meowth.
Casey had to get Incineroar, the big hunky cat Pokemon, and if you've played to the end of a certain route, you'll know why. 😜 He can also be kind of lazy, which makes Slakoth a good fit, and mischievous, so I went with Meowth. I specifically liked Alolan Meowth's nonchalant expression for him!
Abbott from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, along with Ursaring, Mudsdale, and Timburr.
Abbott, our resident bear, had to have a bear Pokemon, and Ursaring seemed the best fit! He also gets Mudsdale to represent his beloved horse, and Timburr since he enjoys handling wood 😉
Lucas from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, with male Nidoran, Ralts, and Decidueye.
Next up, Lucas! This is very much vibes-based. Both Ralts and Nidoran capture something about Lucas's personality: shy and nerdy and a little grumpy. And I like that Decidueye kind of looks like it's wearing glasses!
The protagonist of DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator, alongside three Pokemon: Blaziken, Machoke, and Sandshrew.
In honour of all the Pokopia I've been playing recently, I'm starting a new thread: DESERT OF ASH characters and their theoretical Pokemon teams!
Let's start with the protagonist, who obviously gets a hunky man Pokemon in Machoke, a Sandshrew for all his time in the desert, and Blaziken.
An edit of a 4-panel Mr. Lovenstein comic. The figure in the comic has been edited over with the face of Lucas from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. Panel 1: Lucas sits at a computer desk, a framed photo to his right. He thinks, 'They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.' Panel 2: He holds his head in his hand and thinks, 'But I can't stand being away from you...' Panel 3: He holds the framed photo and says, 'I'll see you soon, baby.' Panel 4: A close-up of the frame, which contains a photo of the protagonist of DESERT OF ASH.

An edited three-panel meme showing subtitled screenshots from Arrested Development. In the first panel, Lucille, who is labelled "me, the developer," says, "If you're saying I play favorites, you're wrong." In the second panel the subtitles have been edited so that she says, "I love all my characters equally." In the third panel, under text that says "earlier that day..." the subtitles have been edited so that she says, "I don't care for Tom." An illustration of Tom from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator has him peeking his head in on the panel, looking dismayed.
y'all met Tom yet?

I went on the GRAFIK CONTENT podcast! We talked about sex in art, coping with ADHD, and what it means to be open and vulnerable in your work.

An edit of a two-panel comic meme showing two doodled people. The left doodle's face has been covered with an illustrated face of a Black man with close-cut hair, and the right doodle's face has been covered with an illustrated face of an Asian man wearing jade earrings. In the first panel, the left person says, "Sometimes I wonder how I taste lol." The right person says, "I can help with that." In the second panel, the left person blushes as he imagines a passionate kiss. The right person, however, imagines comically chomping down on the left person's arm.
Now that the game's been out for a week maybe I can start posting more of these memes I've made and have someone actually understand them 🙏
An edit of a two-panel meme. In the first panel, an illustration of Raul and the protagonist from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator having sex has been edited over Scott and Jean of the X-Men kissing. In the second panel, the sad face of Lucas from DESERT OF ASH has been edited over Wolverine's face. He faces the viewer, forlorn. In the edit, even more images of the DESERT OF ASH protagonist having sex with various men replace Scott and Jean.
We love a pathetic, jealous, yearning man ❤️

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.
Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.
An edited screencap of a social media post. User @Gummie_Bunnie writes, "I'm just laughing at the difference in the firs two pics I get lmao." The attached image is a screengrab of an image search for "3 person group poses." On the left is an image of three people posing happily. In the edit, their faces are replaced with those of Olin, Deon, and Casey from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. On the right is an image of three people in a pillow fight, two of them standing over and battering the third person, who is on the floor. In the edit, Casey and Olin stand over and attack Deon.
Let's add Olin into the mix!!
LESS THAN AN HOUR left to get the game at 10% off!! 😱
An edit of a meme. The meme is two vertical screenshots stitched together. The left one shows a man smiling, captioned, "When someone is so hateful it inspires you to be kinder." In the edit, this face is pasted over with Casey from DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. On the right, a glaring man is captioned, "When someone is so kind it actually disgusts you." This face is pasted over with Deon from DESERT OF ASH.
Another Casey/Deon one, the dynamic these two have is so fun and ripe for the memeing!!
A cropped screenshot of a Steam page, showing the banner image and description for DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. The image shows the game's logo next to an illustration of a shirtless, bearded man, against a red and black background. The description reads, "The world has burnt to ash. Wander the wasteland, scavenge and trade for vital supplies, hook up with over a dozen hot guys, develop relationships—however fleeting—and decide how you want to live in this new world."
There's still time to get DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator 10% off, as the launch sale goes to this Friday!
And if you've already played it, reviews are massively helpful in convincing Steam to show the game to more people. 🙏

I'll be doing a panel presentation going into why I made @desertofash.bsky.social and why YOU should live vicariously through playing (and making!) adult games! But you only have a couple more days to get (FREE) tickets!

It should! Other games in the same engine work on deck and I have configured it for controllers, so it should be fine. That said, I don't have a Steam deck myself to test, so let me know if you run into any issues!

A screenshot of a section of a Steam review. Text reads: "⭐ Final Verdict Full recommend. Desert of Ash is compelling, replayable, and confident about being a sex-forward gay game without losing its survival teeth. For a first Steam release, it shows real craft, a clear creative vision, and a surprisingly strong sense of structure and payoff. I am definitely going to keep playing, both to see more routes and to finish out the achievements. I am also genuinely interested to see what this developer does next, because this already feels like the start of something with legs."
Our first Steam review is more positive than we could have dreamed!!
Reviews really help with both convincing potential players and the Steam algorithm, so this is really appreciated. 🔥
