For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

This VN worked for me when others fell flat. Traits instantly having a satisfying payoff is so good. I got to literally be a disaster bi knight! Plus the music and audio is *chef's kiss* Most impressively, the tone is balanced on a razor's edge of cute and grim. Let's goooo @ceruhi.bsky.social !

We had a really fun time trying out some new VN narrative designs for Knights of Asteri! for the personality trait system I took inspiration from the PMD personality quiz + the Scarlet Hollow trait system (with a cool screen made by @juliwaves.com!)

A poem my dad helped me type on the computer when I was 5

A POEM by TOBY for his MOM

pumkin derry
pumkin scary
pumkin fall off the wall

with a little pumkin
with a big pumkin
and the big pumkin calling
on a broom

and the little pumkin calling
on a little broom
next to it

Some people might not know this, but Steam Wishlists are extremely important for the success of a game. Not just bc it indicates interest, but bc Steam uses Wishlist count to determine whether a game should be featured on Popular Upcoming and other high profile areas. Wishlist more games! #gamedev

short quick comic about my mom and "kawaii" #art #comics

when i was a kid,
my mother always told me i was "kawaii."
mom: "you were tottemo kawaii baby!"
i didn't believe her.
i saw myself as, at best, weird-looking.
but my mom kept calling me "kawaii" or "so pretty."
at school i got called all sorts of things.
"hairy" "ugly" "zits" "big head" "flat face"
strangely, it never bothered me too much.

my mother died in 2017.
it used to annoy me when she would say i was "kawaii" or "beautiful" when i knew otherwise.
mom: "nami-chan kawaiiiii!!"
nami thinking: "whatever."
but i understand now what she was really trying to say.
"i love how you look, because i love you."
"you are worthy of love, no matter how you look."
i don't know if i'll ever have a daughter.
but if i do,
i hope i tell her every day
that she's beautiful to me.

Digital art depicting a stylized field of stars in space, with a large red dot slightly off-center. Text on the dot reads "We Live Here Too by Kiku Hughes"

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven. For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨

colorful key splash art for Project Dragon- a group of adventurers (a musical ocarina golem, a rider mounted on a wyvern, a dimunutive cat person and a pet pinoceros) crest a hill over a sun-drenched landscape with billowing clouds and distant ruins. In the sky above, a character composed of constellations spreads their 6 arms and welcomes them to the world.
