Please enjoy a closer look at the pants I made for this cosplay *entirely by hand* Yes, my back hurts #VekariRB

Drawstring pants that are half black cargo pants with a bloody cargo pocket and a black tool/weapon strap, and half bloody shorts with a homemade chain (not visible: 2 small belt loops intended to hold convention passes and other small lanyards).

Demonstrating that the cargo pocket on these pants is big enough to hold postcard sized prints and still has room for slightly larger ones

Tried something new with the foam guitar picks this year and did acrylic pours directly onto the foam sheets before cutting They're all blacklight reactive 😌

A collection of painted foam guitar picks still needing details that will be handed out as comic con keepsakes

And to follow up, #VekariRB part 12 is now fully live. Each of the 3 written pieces has a poll that anyone is welcome to come vote on to help determine the course of the plot I recommend reading the quoted event piece first for additional context! Enjoy ☺️ vekari.net/story.php

Maury Lyle's efforts to use his glitch magic to split or copy another being's code have largely proven futile on regular human beings. They tend to just... die. It would seem that a certain magic-infused survivor may be the key he's looking for. vekari.net/events/the-s... #VekariRB #indiegame

So... #VekariRB players. Do you remember when I let you decide if Enoch was going to follow Kori when she ran after Maury Lyle or not? And do you remember when Enoch froze Havoc in place, and Maury's response was "That's a cute trick, you should give it to me"? Well... vekari.net/events/the-s...

Daniel is sharing his starter pack of game devs that don't use AI, so I figured rather than just repost it, I would quote post it with my three no AI game dev starter packs. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

fresh out of the oven, careful it's still hot

Painting of a heart floating outside of a ribcage made of neon, its arteries and veins turned to long tendrils, one of which wraps around the bones. The heart lays over a gold foil disk that reflects the black light like the sun setting in this image, it's very pretty

Do you like cyberpunk and also fantasy and scifi? Do you like strange new horrors and being messed with? Do you like sudden deadpan humour and being a menace to society? Would you like to mess with the flow of space time? Consider: vekari.net

Vekari: Remote Bypass comic-ish styled cover art featuring the main characters (from top right to bottom left: Iliana, Kori, Acro, and Enoch) in a glitched warehouse hallway, full of nonsense details and impossible objects so this is worthless for training an AI on.

The front door to the building bears no lock, its glitched state enough warning to anyone sane. Unfortunately, sanity is not typically retained in mutation cases.

"How much for 30 minutes of you?"

Gareth lets out a low, drawn out chuckle before meeting your gaze, the corners of his mouth upturned in a sly smile.

"Normally I'm not quick to bed newcomers, but 50x is 50x."

Flip Havoc's switches

Taking a quick glance around to ensure you weren't followed, you flip all of the switches labelled "Havoc Klyne" to their off positions. The moment you do, yelling can be heard from down the hall.

You should probably get out of here.

random sketchbook pages to warm up for more Vekari writing 😌

A skeletal toothless dragon thing with a snake-like form and long sharp black talons it uses to perch on/in a barrel

A face made of exaggerated eyebrows, pitch black void eyes, and something vaguely resembling a gas mask leaking a dark liquid

A very toothy crow-like creature with 8 eyes drawn focused from a side angle and roughly from a front angle on top, making it appear surreal as the bird stares at the viewer from two perspectives at once

A CRT tv-head arachnid creature with long dark pointed limbs and two arcade stick controllers plugged into its head that it uses as ranged weapons

Spores of Marrow is a very short, one-session adventure that pulls players right out of their surroundings and drops them into a vast forest full of glitched mushrooms and strange ruins, with no end in sight. It uses the Vekari TTRPG and is a Faktorian legend. inkusalters.itch.io/spores-of-ma...

Welcome to all the new people who showed up I'm Inkus. I'm a game dev and artist with crippling C-PTSD, and I make art about grappling with trauma and fear. Sometimes I include a maladaptive daydream or three. vekari.net compiles all of this into a (free) fantasy world that anyone can influence

Comic-y cover art for Vekari: Remote Bypass, an online virtual world/RPG/ARG/novel/puzzle game... or in short, a strange portal to another world entirely.
The game is found at vekari.net and created by Inkus Alters. The art features Iliana, Acro, and Enoch using their combined abilities to save Kori from falling into a bottomless pit in a glitched warehouse as she impulsively jumps from the ceiling atop a combo PC/aquarium onto a glitched creature below.

Readers may choose to only read and vote on story parts. Players may explore the world, interact with the characters, complete quests. Both make important decisions about the story going forward. Where do you fit in?

Vekari: Remote Bypass homepage with a glitched cryodrakon in the header staring at the player with one beady glowing eye

Blue tabs line the left of the screen to quickly navigate to different areas of the site, a clock displaying the date in Vekari that you are visiting, and a poem that reads
"Lay they head to rest, souls quickly spent.
The world has fallen, left no means to its end.
A harrowed sea bathed in neon light,
Steel yourself. Metal tends to bite."

A corrupted looking news site within a glitched building in Vekari: Remote Bypass. These glitched and corrupted pages are puzzles for you to solve! Often they hide a codeword and a submission box, but sometimes the puzzles are even more sneaky. Click around and see what you can find!

Cover art for the Spores of Marrow one-shot that uses the Vekari TTRPG ruleset, featuring a statue of an old woman carrying a basket in a dark forest lit only by glitched neon mushrooms.

Spores of Marrow is the first of multiple legends about th followers of The Alchemist, a being said to have resided in Faktoria, Haloran, that sought out immortality through the manipulation of the digital world's code and the Glitch that plagues it. Each of the followers were manipulated into experimenting on themselves in various gruesome ways, and it is up to the players to find out what exactly happened to them and determine their fates. They are puzzle and roleplay heavy with little to no combat, and not every one uses the Vekari TTRPG
