Ancestors 🍵🪴

The Long Way Home 🌕🧭

A digital ink and watercolor painting of a brown-skinned figure carrying a paper lantern and staff as they walk through a path in a stylized forest leading to a standing stone archway. The moon hangs above the canopy, and a decorative motif lines the top and bottom of the image.

Check out VESPER, protagonist of Vampire the Taskerade. A project manager with hundreds of years of experience, they're just trying to make it through the week at ABO Inc. Will they have what it takes to weather this week's sprint and a violent corporate merger? #gamedev #indie #VtT #vampires

A 16:9 slide, everything is black, grey, white or red. The background is a grey gradient that fades fom left to right. On the left side of the slide is a "picture" of VESPER YOUNG. A slender, androgynous figure with dark skin and black hair pulled back into a low bun. A stray lock of hair falls across their forehead. They wear large round glasses and look slightly annoyed, eyes narrowed. They wear a bright red button up shirt with sleeves rolled up, a black vest/waistcoat and black tie. In their right hand they hold a white mug, you can only see the top and it seems to read B Negative. The text box under them reads: Vesper Young. Our protagonist. A project manager at ABO Inc., they're just trying to make it to the weekend. Too bad vampiric corporate mergers and personal blood vendettas are making it difficult. The right side of the slide shows a five pointed radar chart. Vesper's stats are Hedonistic: 2, Angsty 6, Narcissistic, 5, Destructive 4 and Broody 10. Under the radar chart it reads "Vampire HANDB Score, with a blood splatter underneath it.

Separate from games themselves, if you are a poor struggling game dev, content creator, or ANYthing (in the United States) please take advantage of SNAP/Food assistance/food stamps. I have 10+ years of SNAP program knowledge and will say that, generally, the worst that can happen is they say no 🤷

An image done in red, grey and white. Three figures stand under the title, written in a pixel font, VAMPIRE THE TASKERADE. The three figures are dressed for work in an office, each with a speech bubble. The one on the right holds a red blood drop, the one in the center has a dollar sign and the one on the left has a skull. In the background is an office.
