Had a funny Idea. Letter TF. You heard me.

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

And I don't know if people would really want to go through my spaghetti code that was never designed for adding new additions. I think I'd be embarrassed if people saw how my code was back then xD I am trying to design my future games to be less hard-coded, however, to better facilitate modding.

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Thx :D And yeahh, honestly, I had already stopped working on that project for several reasons before the whole payment processor stuff. But it did put me off making anything new for a while. As for modding, sadly, I have 0 clue how to facilitate that in Unity outside of open-sourcing the files.

Thought I'd also give an update on my "Reigns but TF" game as well. Currently, I'm in the process of redoing all the current pixel art into a simple vector style instead. I felt the pixel style had some readability issues, and I was getting a bit frustrated with the medium in general.

Small DOS-inspired TF game mock-up. (don't worry, still working on the other game) But I always wanted to make a TF sandbox game, where you have an environment with NPCs where you craft TFs to unleash on them. The main hurdle was always art, so I thought, what if it were more text-based instead?

I get it, you're tired of seeing TF pixel art, it's been done before, it's no longer unique enough for you. Well, have I got just the thing! Behold, to my knowledge, the first and only "NSFW" TF ASCII art xD Just a fun experiment. #Transfur #TFEveryday #ASCIIArt

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Thanks! Tho the base game will probably be SFW, so I can actually choose to sell it on places like the Android Store or Itch and not get destroyed by payment providers. But I would plan to make a separate patch/mod that adds in the spicy stuff ;P I'm also trying to ensure the game is moddable.

Another lil sneak peek at some of the systems I'm making for my Reigns but TF game.

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Yeah, 1 is pretty cramped. 2 feels the cleanest, but the hotbar has been sacrificed. 3 Keeps all the resources in one place, which I like from a UX perspective, and 4 is an out there experiment xD Thanks for the feedback!

010

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Yeah, I need to figure out the font. It also doesn't help that the screen grab isn't the highest quality.

000

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Need some opinions on the overall UI design for a TF Reigns-like game I'm making. Can't run a poll on Bluesky, so it's only on the other site, I'm afraid. x.com/8Bit_Familia... Polls for Bluesky when?

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Would you buy a potion from this definitely not at all suspicious, upstanding, tax-paying sheep?

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

What if. Reigns, but TF🤔? Just an early sneak peek of an idea I'm working on. #Transfur #PixelArt

I hear with full mastery of the Cow skill, you can unlock and upgrade powerful abilities like "Chew Cud", "Front Kick" and "Produce Milk". You can also earn unique, powerful equipment, such as cow shoes, bells and nose rings, to further increase your cow-related stats!

030

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

The skill also comes in Demi flavour!

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Don't you just hate it when you're last in line to pick a unique skill, and only the weird ones are left? Like, how is anyone meant to know what a skill simply called Cow does? It doesn't even explain how it gains XP. And now it won't stop levelling :( #Transfur #TFEveryday #Pixelart

Some random sketches. Trying out a lower-res style that is more in line with stereotypical game sprite sizes. Currently aiming to keep my sprites under 64x64px. #Transfur #Pixelart #TFEveryday

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you liked it :) Hopefully, enough people push back on monopoly payment processors telling us what we can and can't spend our money on; it's not their job to do so. They are pretty much blackmailing other companies to do as they say or sink.

010

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Thanks. I don't currently have any plans for any updates on previous projects. My current focus has been prototyping, testing, failing and prototyping again several ideas this year. I should hopefully have something to show for it, eventually >.<

000

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Thx, it is looking pretty bad at the moment for any nsfw artists who actually want to make a living from their work, especially if it was via games or paid comics.

000

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Honestly, didn't even know there was a desktop client for Itch. Guess it's a workaround for the time being.

000

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Yeah, I'm hearing apparently can't download the game even if you previously purchased it. Which is crazy, hopefully enough people fight back on this. Otherwise, small indie nsfw games, that want to make a living, are kinda dead outside Patreon/Substar (And they are likely next to get hit)

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

I am officially making my old half-baked abandoned POV TF game free for everyone. With the recent changes to Itch, rather than just having the game no longer be purchasable, now is as good a time as any to make it free. 8bit-familiar.itch.io/barnyard-tfs... #Transfur #TFEveryday #CowTF

Who even knows... Itch is most likely just going scotched earth on anything that could upset the cry baby payment processors.

010

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

It seems only certain nsfw TF projects have been straight up removed. Everyone else is just shadow-banned with their work no longer showing up on the store.

110

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Wtf? It's so Jover. This is BS. Is nsfw TF now just blanked banned cause crybaby payment processors say so? My game follows the guidelines set by itch. (Honestly, it was time I made this game F2P, cause it is abandoned, BUT THAT IS FAR BESIDES THE POINT!)

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Actually just almost got fooled by this myself. Hope you get your account back.

🦊👩👀 Pixelart version of a previous sketch I did. Just some furry practice. #Pixelart #Furry #Furryartwork

When you realise you can delete 2 of the frames you drew and get just as good of an end result >.<

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Lil wip of some NPC pathfinding for a survival TF game I'm prototyping. Not sure if the old school turn-based roguelike approach is the best. But it is probably the most natural route to take the TF survival/rpg genre without over complicating it.

0192

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Other than the smol sprites, I will probably have text descriptions, more detailed sprite popups to show body parts transforming and I'm planning of using some of my old minigame mechanics for certain in-game actions ;P

210

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Lil Mockup I put together for the TF survival game I'm trying to make, should hopefully give a bit of an idea of the vision I have for it. Everything is subject to change and is very WIP xD

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Tried rendering my pixel donk sprite in a simple vector style. I'm exploring other styles than pixel art for game sprites. A bit too cutesy for the style I want, but that's what you get when you do art on top of already cute pixel art xD #Transfur #TFEveryday

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Ah yes, welcome to my farm, some of the donkeys look suspicious, you say? I have no idea what you're talking about >:)

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Nothing to see here, just some cute nsfw postTF donkey sprites.

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Lil furry practice sketch for something I'm working on. Don't question the separated tail, it will make sense later. It may or may not involve animation using live2D & Unity 👀 Also, rare female art.

0100

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Imported the breast physics test I did in Live2D into Unity and created some code to control the parameters based on mouse position.

1192

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Live2d Is actually mainly used to make/rig 2D Vtubers xD It is compatible with Unity and a few other programs and the physics works the same as well! So exploring it as an option to make some game stuff maybe.

010

8Bit_Familiar @8bitfamiliar.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Been slowly learning live2D for umm, not its intended use. Lil breast physics test using pixel art. It's a bit jank but as long as you don't care for pixel-perfect outlines it's pretty alright.
