Also the paragraph above says content with “minor-presenting” characters is not allowed lmfao okay so we can agree this is a blanket thrown over all anime art, yeah? The mc of my VN is an adult woman who’s like, 5’1 and has big ol anime eyes. Anyone could bad-faith report her as “minor presenting”

Similarly, the forehead makeup on Fiadh-Hui and Eun-Usoa is typically only applied for formal occasions or important holy days. FH’s mark is a tattoo, which is a practice that fell out of fashion. FH bears the symbol of Oo, the Pious One, and EU’s makeup depicts the mark of Io, the Loving One.

also i forgot to attach Eun-Usoa’s mask picture, lol. In Ninurtian culture, these face coverings are in homage of the mouthlessness of the Mekhanes, the robots who created mankind. They are traditionally worn in and around the grounds of a Terminal, during prayer, or in periods of mourning.

Also, here’s Eun-Usoa solo in lingerie. They usually wear very plain, nude underwear. (They/he pronouns)

when you think “maybe i could cut down on some of this B storyline for scope” and then you realize you’ve integrated it so well into the themes that cutting it down feels like its diminishing the main story

Y’all i got 4 hours of sleep at most last night and i am so keenly aware this will not help my productivity today. here’s a peek at the UI nonsense i was working on last night.
A placeholder sprite and background, framed by a purple-blue border with a light green circuitboard pattern overlay.
The textbox is a slightly transparent blue-green, with a glowy yellow glitch effect at the edges, and a small silver tab that reads “Speaking:Caladrian.” The dialogue text is in cyber green. If you look closely, you can see subtle scan line effect on the text box.

Honestly this. Is the worst character trait I’ve ever given someone.

“hmmmm if i really get pressed for time i can scope down by cutting the point click segments,” i say to myself, knowing i will never do this bc i love writing stupid flavor dialogue too much
Freya "Eun-Usoa, can I ask you a
personal question?"

Eun-Usga "That depends."

Freya "Do you wax your pubes?"

Eun-Usoa "I'm not answering that."

Eun-Usoa "Why are you so
disgusting?"

Fiadh-Hui "It's not disgusting. Body hair is perfectly natural."

Eun-Usga "Fiadh-dannah not you too..! You know that's not what I mean!"

Freya "It's okay, Eun-Usoa, you don't
have to pretend anymore."

Freya "You clearly hate body hair and wish everyone was bald and sexless as a babydoll."

Eun-Usga "No I don't...!"

It’s such a struggle!! I an also leaning towards bugger boobs bc Freya (the love interest) is close to her chest a lot…and also, because Freya’s flesh layer (and therefore her boobs) is completely gone, so FH makes up for her lack of boobs….

BlueRoseSonata Games @bluerosesonata.itch.io · 14/06/2025
on one hand: her design feels Correct with a more modest chest. More balanced. And i like the visual of torpedo titty in a tight shirt. But the idea of her overlayer concealing big boobs is also really sexy, and how i ended up drawing it in my ref art. It’s very challenging.

A fun teaser for the upcoming VN, in the form of a codex entry for the religion our protagonist Fiadh-Hui practices, along with some crumbs about language and gender:
Ikastaroanism: 

The Ikastaroan religion is based around honoring and following the teachings of the Divine Triad - Il, lo, and Oo. In Ninurtian mythology, these three machine-gods (Mekhanes, a race of ancient and divine machines) are said to have brought humans the knowledge to harness electricity and fire, and taught engineering and the concept of writing to their ancestors.
This trio of Mekhanes are called the Great Teachers, and dwelled in a temple underground- The Palace of the Earth. (Within the practice of Ikastaroanism, this temple is often is also called the Terminus of Origin, or The Source.)

Io — The Heart

The youngest (and yet the oldest) of the Mekhanes; Io's body was the most recently created, but holds within them Olh, the memories from the siblings and ancestors of Oo and Il. To the pair, lo is both Child and Sibling, teacher and student. Io presides over the past and the future, change, and the contradictions of life.

In myths, Io was the most involved with humanity on an emotional level, often appealing to Il and Oo to be patient whenever humanity broke the Edicts.

In one story, this care and compassion for humanity lead to some worshippers characterizing lo as possessing 'the gentle heart of a maiden within a cold metal frame.'Io's rebuttal to this is considered a fundamental text in Ninurtian
cultural history of gender and gender identity:

"As we speak, so listen:
You are beloved to Us, ‘ikasela,’ and that is why we must correct you.

“The unit lo is many in one, and one in many. "Unit lo is the first and the last of their class; they are the terminal where the 'l' and the 'we' meld.

"Unit lo houses both lo and Ohl- We are one in two, two in one.

"We love you, and that is why we must remind you of these truths — that the unit lo is no more female than a stone or a fire, and the unit lo is no more male than the sea or the moon.

"Our love for our students is not the love of a woman, nor that of a man一

"Our love is the love of lo, and it is all that we are."For this reason, the label ‘iohlu’ is often used by Ninurtians that identify outside of the gender binary. ‘Iohlu’ can be found throughout history, particularly in Yashil, and are even considered one of the fourteen archetypes present in historical Ninurtian epics, often identified as “a student of lo," or with self-introductions alluding to lo's speech- "I am [name], and that is all that i am."

(Unfortunately, the plural conjunction of verbs and nouns that Io was recorded to use is now often associated with holy texts, and is a little too condescending to used by anyone normal, so when speaking Yashil, most nonbinary people use whichever gendered conjugations they like best.)

I started digitizing my sprite sketches today…i dont have wips of that but here are some pages of my sketches. Not all of these will be used, obviously.

not to be a lesbian about my own sketches but BARK BARK BARK I LOVE WOMENNNN
A sketch of Freya, an android who has no limbs and only an upper torso, looking down and away from the viewer.
She’s a handsome looking woman, with a raggedy short haircut, angular eyes, and a prominent nose. Her faceplate has a spiderweb of cracks over her right eye.Anlther sketch of Freya. She’s rolling her eyes, her lip curled in annoyance as she probably delivers some dry, biting quip.

im proud to bring the public the first visual novel with sneakerhead representation
A close up on the shoes in the concept art for an NPC in my upcoming game jam project; the shoes in question are black with white soles and red accents, and have yellow laces. They’re sort of ugly but thats the point. He has bad taste.

ok this is a quick one as an apology. Eun-Usoa is not the main character of my game. Here’s Fiadh-Hui’s ass.
A sketch of Fiadh-Hui, wearing her mask, seated with her butt close to the viewer. Her long hair is in a simple braid.

As someone who likes to write stories about robots, it’s always so maddening to me how so many of the ppl will write pieces like this or believe that LLMs are even *approaching* sentience will not fight for the fact the very real humans who are denied their rights every day.
From The NY Times:
“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?" our tech columnist asks. "Many A.l. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued."

Headline: Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.l. Seriously?

The game design gods once again laugh at my folly
Fiadh-Hui stuck her head into the
stairwell leading upstairs.

FH "Heeeeey! Ruppell, are you awake?"
FH "Hm. I guess he’s not here." 
FH "Either way, I gotta get things set up for the day, even if the main garage isn’t open yet."

Commented line: Realizing that writing incidental dialogue for a point and click puzzle section is going to be a challenge when i dont have the background drawn or the puzzles designed yet. Fuck.

the real question is: which character from this upcoming jam project will i make into my icon. …it’s probably going to be Cheyenne. It SHOULD be Freya or Fiadh-Hui. It would be a cleaner association and signal who the main characters are. But look at him. He’s got my favorite colors.
A concept sketch of Cheyenne-Fiero Vidal, a character from my upcoming project, with his casual outfit on the left and his prayer service outfit on the right. 

Right: hands in his pockets, he is wearing a tall square wimple, a sheer veil draped over top, and a mask over his face. His coat, a fringed trench coat inspired by a chokha, is tied closed with a belt of braided ribbon, and a scarf is casually draped around his shoulders. Underneath the coat he is wearing a high necked buttoned shirt and black hakama. 

Left: flashing a peace sign and winking, he is wearing much of the same outfit, except that the coat is left open, showing off a high necked mesh shirt that shows off his top surgery scars. The buttoned shirt from the other figure (in reality the upper part of his boiler suit) is tied around his waist. With his headdress removed, you can see his hair in a looped and teased ponytail, as well as his piercings on his nose, labret, and multiple cartilage piercings
Another sketch of Cheyenne, his hands on his hips, giving a toothy, cute grin.

a really funny thing about setting a story on (probably) real planets, (and living on multiple planets over time) is that i can give characters ages, but it’s so completely nebulous and a crapshoot about how you measure ‘age’ in circumstances like these
The orbital period for Tau Cetj F is equal to 1.7 earth years
The orbital period for Tau Ceti e is equal to 168 Earth days.

I always like sketching spirte pose ideas out in a notebook bc if I do it on my iPad I start getting too fussy. A pencil lets me be looser.

I’ve peaked as an artist with these poses
A sketch of 3 sprite poses for Eun-Usoa. 
From left to right:
“Hmph!”: EU is crossing their arms and turned away
“Awawa?”: EU looks bashful and is pressing a hand to their cheek
“Neutral”: EU is smiling and standing with their arms crossed under their chest.

anyway I’m working on pre-dev stuff. Important world building. I’ll probably gather a lot of this in a dev log once the jam actually starts, but you get this now!
A drawing of a fictional map with three countries. The western country, Choaso, has its capital, Nacreau, labeled. The eastern country is labeled Lacluyca, and its capital is Shoyque. The middle country, Yashil, is pressed between the East, west, and the sea, and is also the smallest. Its costal capital is called Glai Thua. 


Both Fiadh- Hui and Eun-Usoa were originally ‘Ya’shi Glai’thu’— People Fram
the capital city, Glai Thua, in the country of Yashil,on the planet Ninurta.
