Hi, I just beat SLARPG (I did intentionally save the finale for Valentine's Day lol) and I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it! The dynamic between the main four was super charming, I especially liked Jodie and the way she was sort of the stable emotional core of the team. The writing was great, it struck a nice balance of lighthearted and heartfelt and the emotional moments felt earned. I'm so happy this game exists <3

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it

IF GIVEN THE CHANCE ONCE ROARING SPIRITS IS OUT AND GOING

Would you do a Makeship Jackie plush? 👉👈🥺

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Ideally the comic would be out before then.

I think having the comic out would help with its success for sure, and then I would love to do the other kitties as well as Jackie.

Hopefully will finally get some more comic news in January :D

I'm gay , trans, and nearly 30. and I'm sorry but Snoot Game, and Wani spoke to me far more than GVH did. Was it originally well intended? No. But art is subjective, the message you take home with you is far more important than whatever the devs intended. "Get over yourself" applies just as much to Anon and his biases as it does to Fang. Society is complex, the same freedoms that allow us to be ourselves, unfortunately also allow people to disapprove of us. As long as that disapproval doesn't lead to harassment or violence, there's really no need to worry about it. Those who mind don't matter, those who matter won't mind. Reframing negative propaganda as something positive and getting others to agree with our perspective is far more beneficial to the cause than attempting to cancel it.

What a wild statement to see this in my inbox after dealing with Snoot fans trying to pedojacket me since October.

You're just rephrasing the same old "Death of the Author" argument, but that argument isn't useful when the author actively benefits from you ignoring or downplaying their harmful beliefs and actions. They swindled developers working on their game. They bullied people out of their community for being queer or talking back to them. They've spread libel about KO_OP and me. At this point, so much of the horrible things Cavemanon have said and done have started going public.

I don't care if you like Snoot, or dislike GVH, or whatever. If you can't acknowledge who made Snoot and what they've done, then you can't be part of this conversation. Your refusal to see them for what they are benefits their anti-queer agenda, which they've stated plainly in their public blog posts by now. PLEASE think about who you're supporting before you go swinging at a fellow trans person.

GVH irl

[ruby52986]

Blanchette! ✨She's a snooty, siamese cat from a lavish upbringing, and she prefers to not get her hands dirty.

She uses her spirit cloak that fights and defends for her (and is totally not sentimentally her soft, comfort blankie too).

Can you sum up the Goodbye Volcano High vs Snoot Game controversy? I don't know shit and you seem like the most knowledgeable person on it.

Okay. Summary time.

Developed by Canadian indie worker cooperative studio KO_OP, Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic narrative/rhythm indie game about a group of dinosaur teenagers dealing with the impending end of the world from an asteroid. It features predominantly queer characters; the main character is an AFAB nonbinary pterodactyl named Fang.

GVH was revealed as part of the PS5 reveal lineup back in June 2020. From there, it experienced a few delays due to COVID, rewriting the story after the original writer was let go, and dealing with anti-LGBT harassment. It finally came out in late August 2023 to positive reception and some awards. It didn't sell a billion copies but it's been gradually growing its fanbase for over a year now.

A few days after GVH was first revealed, a group of 4channers, under the developer name "Cavemanon", decided they'd do their own visual novel using GVH's characters to spite GVH before it even came out. This VN, Snoot Game, came out in June 2021. It's a story where a featureless human male named "Anon" becomes Fang's friend and eventually boyfriend. It has an extremely anti-trans narrative, along with racist humor, promotes eugenics, has a school shooting ending if Fang doesn't detransition, and more.

Snoot ended up becoming very popular and spread around the internet, developing its own fanbase across social media. The worst parts of its fandom downplay Snoot's harmful rhetoric while harassing GVH's fans and developers. When GVH came out, they shared a pirated copy, called it the worst game, ever, and encouraged people to support Snoot instead. I spoke out about all this and got doxed.

Snoot's success lead to Cavemanon hijacking a fan project from its original developers and making it into a spiritual sequel sold on Steam, called I Wani Hug That Gator!, released in February 2024. A few weeks after it came out, a former developer released a dossier speaking out about Cavemanon's working conditions, lack of compensation, and extreme right-wing views, to which Cavemanon responded with a hitpiece attacking everyone involved in the doc and linking my dox on Kiwifarms while mocking me for being trans.

To this day, mainstream gaming press outlets have refused to cover this story in any meaningful way, and Cavemanon has not faced any consequences for anything they've done. Wani has sold very well on Steam, and Cavemanon has opened their own web store and patron-supported developer blog, where they give terrible game dev advice and rant about "grooming operations" and the like.

So... that's it, really.
