[50funct]

man I started coding again in renpy last night. idk why this stupid like engine is such a comfort thing for me LMAO but I actually got the hang of making menus pretty easily, and put in some of my placeholder art already... I’m thinking I might actually be making good headway for my friend’s birthday

Zayne anime headcannons

• For Zayne girlies who like watching anime/ playing VNs and games like me

• He's not interested in it by himself initially ofc but he knows you like watching/ playing them. When you're engrossed with rapt attention, it'll start to pique his curiosity as to what's so interesting in it that you're giving it more attention than him 😾 He'll probably peer into your screen and ask "Is it that interesting? What is it about?"

• Will 100% judge you and the anime where ecchi stuff like panty/ oppai shots come up 😭 (fair tbh but imagining it from him is extra funny)

• He'd actually enjoy watching slice of life/ iyashikei genres a lot tho. He'd rather just continue working beside you while you enjoy your show but then if it's on tv he'll sneak glances and eventually start watching bits and pieces of it until he realises he's enjoying them as well. Stuff like Spy Family would probs interest him. Even stuff like Yuru Camp or Slow Loop, considering that he's mentioned hiking a few times in our destiny cafe interactions.

• Pls keep this man away from trauamtic stuff like JJK ( cuz it has stuff about curses and all, we don't want him to get re-traumatised by it ☹️☹️☹️) Also just in general sad romances like ShigaUso would really hurt him ( I'm just hurting myself now by imagining all of this). Even looping stuff like Re:Zero would rekindle his pain :(

Quite a lot of no gos for him now that I think about it

• Will sometimes get jealous if you're fawning too much over a guy from an otomege. Ò︵Ó

• bonus: he's SUPER good at singing but ofc no one knows cuz he hasn't shown anyone. He'd probably get an insane score at karaoke. (I'm saying this cuz his jp seiyuu Taku chan goes crazy with the vocals.) When asked he will obviously deny any practise, which is true, but will instead say that if you're precise with calculating how each note goes then it's not a big deal 😭😭

Chronicles of Tal’Dun: The Remainder

This is a story of two magi, Vyn and Ilar, who find themselves trapped in a collapsing tower with their only hope for salvation being a difficult ritual. Or at least that is what Ilar tells you. The thing is - you don’t remember anything, and Ilar’s story makes less and less sense the closer you are to the ritual. Are they hiding things to protect you from the bitter truth, or are they deceiving you for some more nefarious reason?

Guide Vyn’s actions to death and beyond and uncover Ilar’s truth. Are they your colleague, lover or something completely different? Read between the lines of what they are telling you, explore your surroundings for clues and use hands-on deduction to break the vicious circle and set them free.

Chronicles of Tal’Dun: The Longing

Most people spend their whole lives never touching magick, and some are gripped by it before they ever open their eyes. Is there a place in this world for a child cursed with the hunger of the moons? For a child with a song that wants to be sung? Will they devour one another or find salvation in each other’s embrace?

The world of Tal'Dun is shaped by mysterious forces of the Sea, a power that gives and takes life. Touching its waters brings death to most people, but in rare cases some survive it and become magi. Evin and Near come from very different circumstances, one grew up in a tiny village and stumbled upon magick by accident, and the other was born with it and spent their life locked away in a temple. Despite this, as if pulled together by the currents of the Sea, their paths cross, and now a storm is brewing.

The rise and fall of Richard from Extracurricular Activities is something that should be studied

As always ⚠️ spoilers ahead so be careful ⚠️

I first started reading this VN back in uuuh 2019? I think? And since it was one of my first VNs I had no idea how routes worked so I naturally started with Coach Grifter's route first. I remember back in the day silently begging for a route for Richard, or at least a scene in Harold's route, he was charismatic, he was hot and he was funny.

After 4 out of the 5 routes were completed Dyne confirmed he was working on Richard's route, we all collectively lost our shit, the hot bisexual rhino we've been lusting for for years was finally getting a route.

Now, at this point this was what we knew about Richard.

He's bisexual

He's homeless, like Eric

He had a thing for Maria and Harold (bi king 👑)

And that was it, not much about him, Dyne took the time to confirm his route would be more chill, drama free and different from the rest...

Now flashforward to today, this is what we know about Richard:

He was once married

He has 2 kids he never talked about before

He destroyed his marriage when he started a poly relationship with a badger and his wife noticed he was more into him than her. This is important for later.

He starts a relationship with Eric and almost immediately Eric has to start playing dad to his daughters.

He gets Eric a job in the same place the badger works for.

It's revealed that after his marriage fell apart he ghosted the badger and now feels guilty.

He rekindles his relationship with the badger and listen to this because it's crazy, HE PROPOSES TO ERIC THAT THEY HAVE A POLY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, THE SAME GUY THAT CAUSED HIS MARRIAGE TO FAIL.

I've never been a fan of the couple dynamics in this visual novel, but come on, this is ridiculous 😭

I can't stress how much I dislike Richard's route, it feels like it jumps the shark every other update. The addition of his daughters would've worked if it was pre established, there was no reason to break the canon just to get something where to pull a story from.

Extracurricular Activities will always hold a special place in my heart, since it was one of the first FVNs I read, but after being disappointed with Spencer and Chester's epilogues, the addition of Dwayne and whatever happened to Richard, I have to admit the will to read fade away a bunch of updates ago...

I don't wanna end on a negative note, so here's a pic of this beefcake

Love you Conrad, put some goddamn underwear on, I can see the outline of your dick.

Hi Zigzag!!!! Would just like to ask since you're such a gamer, what's your favorite genre of games to play? (And have you played Citizen Sleeper? I just started playing it today because of a friend x3)

hello beloved mutual autisticnari! i adore citizen sleeper, i go into my thoughts about its writing and gameplay here (the last paragraph spoils some quests).

i have pretty diverse tastes when it comes to gaming. i can only think of a few genres that i dont care for, like beat em ups or puzzle games (ive reblog patricia taxxon's writing on the genre, this doesnt include 'riddle games'). still, here are a few i find myself playing the most often!

Roguelike the perfect combination of "i know exactly what to expect" and "different every time" to keep me engaged while making my autism tingle. if you spy on me with a crystal ball 9/10 times im gonna be doing a run while listening to video essay or pirating aqua teen hunger force on my other monitor

Metroidvania this together with roguelike figuratively makes about 95% of the indie market. the longest games take about 20 hours if youre taking your time, which is a pretty perfect length for a video game adventure. plus i just love the palpable growth your character goes through, its like if leveling up wasnt just numbers

Strategy RPG ive only recently started rekindling my love for the genre but oh what a love it is. i love moving little dudes around a map and slowly wiping everything out with teamwork and creative ability use and ooooough its good stuff. im not gonna show a steam screenshot cuz im kinda embarrassed by how few real srpg games i own on pc, so ill just show you this

(Detective) VNs i have 100%'d every zero escape game, every danganronpa game, and every somnium files game. i will purchase every Too Kyo game once i have an income big enough to justify a $20 purchase without giving me a looming sense of gnawing dread. hypnospace outlaw and paradise killer are some of my favorite games of all time, and the only thing keeping me from saying the same about the silver case games is that i refuse to play a suda51 game without paying the man and im a cheap bitch.

Rhythm/Music what do you expect me to say about this, i listen to a funny song and hit a funny button

Special Mention: Action this is one of those tags thats like 'roleplaying' or 'adventure', in that its so applicable its basically meaningless. but im talking about a specific kind of action where its brutal, fast-paced, violent, flashy and stylish. neon white, hotline miami, katana zero, furi, pizza tower, ultrakill, that kinda thing. if it at all makes you think "this was built to cater to speedrunners but people who speedrun this are fucking insane" then ill dig it

thank you for the ask! i loooooooove sharing my opinions and talking about games and showing off my gaming achievements and ehehehe gamer gamer gamer

📝Devlog May 26th - Snowhaven Studios

Hello everyone!

Our team has been working hard to make awesome games, so we wanted to share what we have going on behind the scenes this May. 

First, we’d like to highlight a brand update that we announced recently on Tumblr. Our studio has shifted from away from a more narrow focus of games, to a variety of genres from varying perspectives. This has been an important transition for our studio as it reflects the diversity in our games, which we feel is important for our growth as an indie studio. This ties in with some of the awesome games we have coming out, so read on to hear more about it!

Our biggest accomplishment for the month was that we updated the Love’s Crescendo demo! For those of you that don’t know, Love’s Crescendo is our latest upcoming rhythm game VN hybrid that features rhythm game mechanics and the blossoming romance between Valerie and Cadence.  Some of the new additions to the updated demo includes: dynamic animations and camera movement, speaker highlights so you know who is talking, and UI improvements to make the visuals more appealing!

You’ll find the overall gameplay of the mini games to be a lot smoother this time around, including a ready/start animation to prepare you for hitting the notes. There’s also a How To Play screen which helps players learn the mechanics before diving in. Check out the new demo by clicking here. Another notable event for this month was the character reveals for Love’s Crescendo. We shared all of the characters, some for the first time that aren’t found in the demo. If you’ve been following our development on Twitter and Tumblr, you’ve probably come to the conclusion that all of the LC characters have spectacular hairstyles, and you’re right about that! 

We also celebrated the anniversary of My Sweet Confession earlier this month. Dara @pogo-a-gogo made celebratory chibi art for Hana and Ichika to celebrate the release of our beloved yuri game. My Sweet Confession is a wholesome yuri dating sim about rekindling friendship and hopefully turning it into something more. You can play My Sweet Confession by clicking here.

Last but not least, we’re making steady progress on another upcoming title, Drops of Death, a murder mystery VN where the killer is randomly chosen at the start of the game–with a romantic twist where players can date the killer.

We’ve been working on the routes for the main cast, including Detective Singh, Fawn, Edwin, and Natasha. The artwork for these characters is also a work in progress, including the main character Adrien, an MC with customizable pronouns. 

We’re happy to share these character CGs! Enjoy~ And we hope you look forward to more Drops of Death updates along with other game updates next month! - Snowhaven Studios

Hi Morgan, it’s been a while! I know everyone else has been telling you similar things but I just wanna say it too, but you really did singlehandedly rekindle a love of reading for me. Like I was reading things but not nearly as much I do now, something about your writing just flows so well and makes you want more. It’s hard to put into words. I started picking up books and VN I had been reading but didn’t finish and even saved a lot of your recommendations cause I got excited about reading again. You really are one of a kind! How was the ramune vanilla ice cream btw?

EVERYONE STOP GIVING ME COMPLIMENTS IM LITERALLY GOING TO BAWL IN PUBLIC! I don't have to words to explain how much this touched me 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I totally understand how someone can fall out of love with reading I actually think school has a lot to do with how people perceive reading and how it sucks all the joy out of the wonders of reading!!! I'm so glad I could rekindle your love of reading I'm going to cryyyyy
