Whether anyone plays or reads them is inconsequential, I will make my little cyberpunk stories and pour my passion and skill into them and give them life, if only because I can.
It is very much a project that I'm taking on purely because it's something that I want to see/read/play.
I've got a new artist lined up that looks promising, and work should begin soon on recreating the character art. I'm learning the new engine, rebuilding the UI, and am almost ready to begin rewriting the demo scenes.
I've always just wanted to tell stories, and I think this will be a way to wrangle the stray ideas that don't fit into a single story. I often come up with ideas that don't fit the story I'm telling at the time, and don't want to just let them fade, so I'm going to attempt to do it this way.
I'm aiming to build a universe that moves between games and books in the same city, telling different stories around the same timeline, and weaving easter eggs into each thing for those that venture into both mediums.
I finished the first draft recently, and will be moving to editing soon, but I took a break from that to start rebuilding the game from scratch. I'm moving to a new game engine, adding a fuck ton of new features, and most importantly: tying the game to my new novel series.
I hate social media, but since it's a necessary evil I suppose I should put some updates out into the void.
PLACEHOLDER was on hiatus due to the artist being a waste of time and money. I nearly gave up on it, but instead I took a break, and wrote a new novel.
Finished up my game for the 2025 Yuri jam!
A smutty but cozy lesbian romance story where your choices matter and affect the conversation during dates.
Includes a no-nudity mode, and an Asexual mode to give you control over the spice level!

Well, game jam vote rules are apparently very fickle, but my game was one of the top 10 most played/voted games, and I averaged a 90% positive rating, and that is certainly worth celebrating when I wasn't even sure I would get seen!

My cosmic horror narrative entry for #Jamsepticeye is live! I put a lot of effort into this, and am proud of how it came out.

Wow I picked a helluva time to try to become a smutty game dev.
This made me giggle. I unfortunately have no tips.
empty inventory screen sample
inventory screen sample with 2 items showing in first two slots
screenshot from tyranobuilder project showing example of slot logic
Working on a massive new feature, building out an inventory system from scratch. I'm hoping 30 slots will be enough...
Items will show in slots based on variables, each slot has a bunch of code. Still working on info, and assignment logic when obtaining new items, but it's a start

Wow it's really nice to see my posts get some level of activity for once. Better than posting into a void for sure.
Image showing new UI features for a VN game. An anime woman stands in the middle of the screen, talking about the new buttons with arrows showing where they are.
A character bio screen featuring many images and descriptive text. UI improvements and features for a VN game.
I got inspired, and added a whole new feature... again! I just made the MC Profile page yesterday, well now I've added one for the RO's!
Characters, outfits, etc. become available as you encounter them in-game!

This is going to look even better once I get the official art for the MC and start bulking up character model choices
I spent most of the day figuring out how to make a Profile page for the custom UI I am using in the VN.
Information and images change based on player input, and update in real time!

A screenshot of an RPG Maker game screen. It is a small house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, a grimy kitchen, and some various clutter.
Playing around in RMMZ and made a little mock up of the house at the start of my book. Mostly just learning how RMMZ works, but had a lot of fun putting this together. Not sure if anything will come of it.

Also I'm not really sure why all the 'interior' tilesets I have seem to be scaled bigger than the character models despite being marked as 48x48 It makes them look like children, which is not at all ideal.
Wow RPGMMZ is way harder if you want to use custom things. I'm learning quickly though.
nice! Yeah, I just got started but my first game is an adult VN

Thanks! It was one of those things where I just had a pretty clear idea what I wanted, and managed to bash it together quickly
