A screenshot of a visual novel. A pair of boots, viewed from behind, dangle down. The text printer UI takes up the bottom third of the screen, and the narration reads: "Her legs swing over the edge of the bunk, and I see a flash of truth: army boots, bare legs." The image is in monochrome with a slight dreamy blur/chromatic aberration effect.
❤️ Happy Valentine's Day and happy #screenshotsaturday! We've been adding fancy little borders to our intertitles, and also more detailed CGs of Jackie's boots 👀

A screenshot from The Left Eye visual novel, showing sprites of Jackie - a tall white woman with long dark hair, and an eyepatch, wearing a white vest - and Emile - a short man with slightly curly hair, wearing a black suit. She has her arms folded, and looking incredulous. He is smiling. Pasted over them are the following three text posts: plasmalogical: self care is actually getting in fights with randoms in dark alleys. ixq: No self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath or putting on a lot of makeup if you like it or taking a nice warm nap and stuff like that plasmalogical: self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you. self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists. self care is the fear in your enemies eyes.
in a rare case of me doing two bsky posts in one day... I just handed off the episode 3 script of #TheLeftEye to our dev at @hauntedtrumpet.bsky.social !
Then I celebrated by posting text post memes on tumblr and I am not sorry.

Happy holidays from Haunted Trumpet, however you celebrate ☃️
@noel-p.bsky.social has not only drawn hundreds of sprites for #TheLeftEye this year, but they’ve also created this festive illustration of our best boi Emile!
#art #illustration #xmas #indiedev
A black and white illustration of a woman, cut so that only her eyes and nose are visible. She has thick, dark hair, and a white bandage over her left eye. She is glaring out of the frame, slightly above the viewer, nostrils flared with rage, menace in her one remaining eye.
So psyched by our progress on episode 3 of #TheLeftEye since launching into early access! The first draft script is finished, new character sprites are being drawn, and new CGs and cut- ins are well underway!
And yes, we’re doubling down on our scary knife-wife content x
#vn #indiegame #lgbt #art
Art of Emile and Jackie, two characters from The Left Eye, titled “if ya like:”, with various pink captions placed haphazardly over the image. They read “con artists”, “queer history”, “scary butches”, “stealing”, “codependent dyke/tyke friendships”, “chubby sociopathic twinks”, and “queer art by queer artists”.
Casually reposting @conwaaaaaaay.bsky.social’s insta story for #wishlistwednesday because they have a real way with words lol
If you like these things maybe you will also like #TheLeftEye???

Text over a monochrome image of two silhouettes standing on the balcony of the Statue of Liberty's torch. The text reads: "The Left Eye is set in the 1920s, but it's about the 2020s. It's about queer folks inventing themselves. It's about code switching and going stealth. It's an homage to Anna Delvey. It's about a moment in time of queer visibility and joy, right before a vicious backlash in the 1930s."
