[operationnope]

LITG S10 Franki 🖤

Why does everyone have black hair so far? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[alitgblog]

so off the get go I wanna go for Jesse but since he's not available I was like okay I'll go for Hayden......however 🫣🫣

against my better judgement I fear I may like the Eddie clone 🫢

[crimswnred]

they definitely changed the art style, that I can say

[lilmeowmeowsagelesath]

what. the actual. FUCK

i don’t wanted hayden with me, or at least single so i could snatch him up at the next recoupling WHATTHEFUCKISTHISBS 😭💀

litg season 10 spoilers

ok i started it, apparently whatever choices u make, milo seems the only easy route, jesse is a slowburn, we arent hayden's type and ethan is a player. sofia and franki will hate u no matter what. ofc the least attractive girls r also the bitches of this season.

So these were my choices: i chose ethan as my type, he is paired with lisbeth and danced with franki, on the dates i said i liked both ethan and hayden, hayden is paired with franki and he danced with her, i friendzoned jesse and milo, jesse danced with his partner sofia, milo danced with me and niya danced with him, her partner, i danced with hayden and lisbeth danced with me. did no gem choices. ethan said im his type and glad that i like him too, hayden said im not his type but is willing to change his mind.

A comprehensive list of Fusebox staff members and projects to support instead of Matchmaker or S4~

With S4 coming out on a seperate app and Fusebox continuing to insist their “””codevelopment””” model is just as good, I wanted to update this list with the people who made LITG the game that we love. People marked with asterisks are still looking for work/self employed, so if you can support their past and current projects it’s more important for them.

If you're looking for information on what happened, click my tag 'fusebox layoffs' on this post

Please let me know if I’m missing anyone/projects to link

This little project devolved into me playing demos, reading work, listening to multiple podcasts, and enjoying their indie content in earnest. It introduced me to so many new IF adjacent things, some of which I’m still enjoying playing. I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole.

Writers

Andrea D’Acunzo: twitter | website | working with Quantum Soup Studios who have a stealth/puzzle PC game out with this beautiful art style 

**Anna Winterstein: twitter | website |  She has a ton of small game demos, but my favorite is her short story The Colors of Sand. Fantasy gaysssss. It looks like she’s currently working with 3ofCups and/or Electric Square, but she’s got a ton of small art projects to support on her website

Ben Kaestner-Frenchman: twitter | Just super fun to follow and his WIP novel looks super interesting, I’m not sure if there’s much to do to support it at this point but *eyes emoji*, He’s also currently working with Electric Square

**Ben Sabin: twitter | website | Again, another fun twitter follow (can’t convince me to get twitter lmfao)

Carles Salas: linkedin | he’s currently working with Neon Play, who have a bunch of idle games on the app store

**Chavonne Brown: twitter | website | One of the more active projects I found was the ttrpg game Daemonologie which I have not played but might pick up if I make friends lmfao | He’s also an editor at Fiyah Magazine and I haven’t purchases any of their editions yet but it’s sci fi and fantasy short stories so I definitely need to 

**Courtney Byrne: twitter | website | The poetry fragments on their website were uh.... steamy 

Daniel Nicholson-Coombes: twitter | website | He designs logos if anyone’s in the market, also he’s working with Dlala studios  who are working on an arcade/smash type xbox game

David Evans: linkedin | Working with Netspeak Games on Sunshine Days (my beloved)

Ed Sibley: twitter | He’s working with Netspeak games and they’ve released Sunshine Days which I downloaded from a tumblr ad before realizing he was involved lmao. It’s reminiscent of animal crossing/stardew/every mmo from the 2010s and I’m really enjoying it

**Eir Causey: twitter | website | Actively job searching!! 

Elizabeth Smyth: twitter | website | her spooky games are free to play, super interesting, and well written as shit. It gives me TMA vibes. She’s got a bunch of short twines linked to her twitter and I’m kinda obsessed with her

Fiona Sangster: twitter | medium short stories | Here’s a link to her horror  game demos, not really my cup of tea but if you like first person survival games or undertale adjacent gameplay mechanics maybe you’ll dig them! She also has a bunch of short stories you can check out

Fred Francis: twitter

Frankie Wakefield-Harrey: twitter | looks like she’s freelancing and currently working with Terrible Posture Games, if I had a Nintendo Switch I would 100% buy their game 3 out of 10 

Hannah Powell-Smith: twitter |  patreon | Buy!!! Their text based game Creme de la creme!! (or download it on the app store, the first three chapters are free) I bought it purely out of reparations for the money I’ve spent on gems for LITG and while I’ve only got through four chapters so far I’m enjoying it. Scratches my dark academia/royalcore itch. They also wrote one called Blood Money which is about half the length but not really my cup of tea because it’s a mafia AU but maybe you’re into that! It has really good reviews on the app store!

**Heidi McDonald: twitter | The best ongoing project I can find is the book chapters she’s written about video game development and a book about sexuality in gaming. If you’re interested in that, check her books out. Actively job searching!!

Ian Michael Waddell: twitter | podcast | He has a huge backlog of work but my fave is the text based game and his podcast. I’ve started listening and am? Enjoying it more than I thought I would? They review a bunch of IF games that were made specifically for one IF competition and it’s been fun to get recs. They’ve got 8 episodes, and they’re all about an hour a piece which is *chefs kiss* I lowkey judged and played all the games submitted for 2021 and was really excited that this introduced me to it

Ines Robin: twitter | artstation She’s taking commissions for portraits through DMs, and seems to have a new project in the works

**Kaj Jensen: website 

Leah Muwanga-Magoye: instagram | website

Leigh Alexander: twitter | website | She’s got a TON of really cool articles about sci fi concepts intermingled with activism and is a writer with Reigns and also an odd blog that seems like it’d be super well suited to be on tumblr

Lizzie Huxley-Jones: twitter | website | books | They have a rec list on their website of books with autistic representation, and I’ve read one of them already, added some others to my to-read list. 

Luke Duffy: twitter | portfolio/website He’s working with Frontier Games now, and they make some really mainstream titles like Roller Coaster Tycoon and Jurassic World. Good for him. 

M. Vittoria Patti: twitter | I can’t bring myself to download it, but she now works for Football Manager the game if you’re into sports game, consider playing!

**Maria Callas: twitter 

Nathanael Yau: linkedin | if you have more media for him hmu

Rhea Newton: twitter | They’re working with Tributary games so keep an eye out for new content from them- it looks like it’s going to be narrative based and their art style is super cool

Sarah ‘SJ’ Longthorne: twitter | website | Now working with SumoDigital and their game Hood: Outlaws and Legends. If you’re into console or PC gaming, maybe try it out

Seema Iyer: twitter | website   

Artists

Dan Fiddis: Art Portfolio

David Galopim: instagram | He’s working with the app Puzzle Heist now. If you like empire building games like Clash of Clans or Game of Sultans, you’ll love this. The characters do look DOPE af, but the story is a bit lacking and the Match 3/Best Fiends format burnt me out pretty fast. I did play for a couple months, so it’s good enough for that.

Katie Jackson: art portfolio

Leda Chung: twitter | She’s now working with Tripledot Studio. I played Word Hop for a couple of days and enjoyed it, a lot of their games are bubblepop/solitaire/brain teaser kind of thing, so if you like that support them. It looks like they might be working on a Match 3 ala Lily’s Garden or Homescape?

Paul Alexandrescu: art portfolio

Pedro Alves: twitter

Music

Lauren Middleton: Buisness Facebook | fiverr  | instagram | portfolio | soundcloud She’ll compose music for video game and adjacent projects through fiverr, and just has a lot of samples uploaded for listening

Engineers/Product Data

Alice Cheng: I can’t find any public facing social media for her, but it looks like she’s working with Marmalade Games now, and they do a lot of board gamey type apps in you’re interested in that. 

Anita Ghoddoomi-Zadeh: Again no public networking (which makes sense), but she’s currently working with Space Ape Games, which chiefly seems to make an arcade/tapping music app.

Ariane Sivam: I can’t find any social media, but I did find a podcast episode (and have since listened to the entire podcast, highly rec!) where she talks about why LGBTQ+ stories are so important to tell through mobile games *eyeball emojis* It’s episode 6, not sure if the link worked correctly

Customer Support (show them some love because some of yall were ANNOYING with that ‘Help’ button

Shelley Coates: twitter | 

Teri Murkin: instagram | twitch | patreon | podcast (guest star) | not that it matters but the fact that yall were spamming her with frustration about S3′s LIs through the support feature, when she was this interesting and creative all along? a crime.

Hello!! I love all your work on LITG and CDLC :) I was wondering if you could direct me towards who wrote Angi?? I love our 1-2-1’s with her :D

Hello, thank you so much, that's so kind ❤️

Rhea Newton, who I'm lucky enough to work with at Tributary Games currently, came up with the original concept for Angie and wrote an in-character application to the show to establish Angie's personality and voice. At the concept stage, the narrative team at the time (me, Rhea, Fiona Sangster, Ben Sabin, Frankie Wakefield-Harrey, and Leah Muwanga-Magoye) came up with a lot of ideas through doing these IC applications*, distilled them down, and figured out how they would interact with the MC and other characters. Angie was one of the ones we chose to go through! (Honestly it was an easy decision - we all loved her and thought she would bring a fun dynamic!)

The team collaboratively refined Angie's character and outlined episode plots, and wrote her in the episodes we worked on. Rhea also outlined Angie's MC-related storyline.

When Maria Chaudhary joined the team**, she took on writing Angie's in-depth one-to-one scenes - if your MC is close to her you will have played through one of them during Episodes 11-13. Maria did an incredible job and I hope the content remains as it was when I left - if so there are a lot more exciting and heart-tugging Angie moments ahead.

My feelings about the whole thing are complicated (in general it was fun working on the season, and I'm sad that it ended the way it did) but my immense pride in my colleagues' work, and the pleasure of seeing players enjoy characters we made, are very straightforward ❤️

*if you are interested, the characters I came up with at the concept stage include: Hazeem, Lexi, Kobi, Bruno, Valentina-from-that-ad, Towel-Guy-from-that-app-art, and a couple of others who don't seem to have been officially revealed yet

**at that stage, Courtney Byrne, Anna Winterstein and Chavonne Brown also joined the team; if you have played through any kisses you will have seen their and Maria's work, as well as some shower scenes in Episodes 11-13 (Anna wrote Bruno's and Najuma's, Chavonne wrote James') and friendship scenes (Courtney with Kobi, Chavonne with Thabi)
