I love the part when my angelic beautiful mermaid boytoy decides in the VN writing room to turn into... whatever this is. #yaoijam is going amazing if you can't tell.

ellipsus snippet from "Dead // Dying Fish", reading:

Vetta “Pah! Enough of that! You may call me Vetta, savior of cute boys who like doing the exact opposite of skinny dipping."

“He puffs his chest out, boastful as he plants a hand over his breast.”

Vetta "I think that’s a worthwhile title."

i am genuinely so proud of this info graphic @ranan-culus.bsky.social made for our upcoming Spooktober game, Marseille. It's going to be so peak to see everything come together ehehehehe~

info graphic recruitment poster for "Marseille", the riversitters studio's Spooktober game that hasn't been released yet.

They called your husband’s disappearance a “Robbery gone wrong” or even a “Lover’s Quarrel”. After all, how else should a priceless vintage lifesized porcelain doll and a strong thirty year old man suddenly go missing overnight with no other leads?

But you knew him. He was passive, quiet, loyal, and would never leave nor go down without a fight. It didn’t matter to the authorities, though.

After so long, you've found the doll though. She washed up on shore in some swampy national park ten minutes south of your house after ten years of absence.

Honestly, once you took to cleaning her, you expected her to be filthier and in further disrepair.

But then she speaks, a voice so eerily familiar, and asks you if you locked the door.

It doesn’t matter your answer.

Something knocks at your front door. It speaks to you in a singsongy voice you once thought to be your husband’s.

It wants to marry you. It wants to take you away. It wants you to be its bride.

What we need:
Composer
Voice Acting Audio Engineer
Sound Designer
(Optional) script programmer

This has been fatherly affirmations with Stinkbug! Affirmations with Stinkbug will be featured in @mistershins.bsky.social's O2A2 Roundtable collection tonight at 11:30 PM PST (UTC-7) www.twitch.tv/mistershins the-riversitters.itch.io/affirmations... #comic #visualnovel #o2a2

A four panel comic of Stinkbug and Cirro talking.
Panel One: Stinkbug faces Cirro with a smile on his face, saying, "Cirro! I do have an affirmation for you!"

Panel Two: The camera pans to Cirro looking mildly emotional over Stinkbug's words, which are, "I'm proud of you, not just for what you achieve but for who you are."

Panel Three: Cirro's expression darkens as Cirro realizes that Stinkbug is repeating one of many MisterShins Fatherly Affirmations. Stinkbug continues to speak but gets interrupted, "The world is a scary place, but knowing that you're-"

Panel Four: The camera goes back to having Stinkbug in the center of the frame. Except his face has been cut out and replaced with MisterShins' PNGtuber. He says, "What? Something on my face?"

LOCK SCREEN CHECKPOINT!! Repost w/ your lock screen! I’ve had @ranan-culus.bsky.social’s Miraneko poster as my lock screen since we started development and really, it’s so cute getting to stare at them!

iPhone lock screen. 10:10 AM, June 16th. It is 80 degrees and there is a clock widget set in PST. The actual lock screen image is of Sonny and Nattie, the main leads from Miraneko, posing together.

Genuinely one of my favorite scenes from #miraneko. @ranan-culus.bsky.social's ability to make such fun compositions for our #visualnovel is amazing. They look so cute and it was a total delight animating everything with renpy! #gamedev #screenshotwednesday #vndev #kemonomimi

I hope your day gets better!! It’s not much but take a picture of my hairless old man in a tourist tee shirt!!

Picture of hairless miniature pinscher, breed
of dog, in a tourist teeshirt sitting on desk chair with flannel fabric thrown over it. He’s sitting very obediently and looking at the camera with both his blind eye and his healthy eye

something something about making it exist first before making it good later. We can thank @ranan-culus.bsky.social for this beautiful glowup of an opening scene for our upcoming #visualnovel, Miraneko! #gamedev #vndev #miraneko

a beautiful night time scene with four college students at a beach, sitting around a campfire. From left to right is Nep, a goth person with dark hair and pale makeup, Jiffy, a broad shouldered woman holding papers, Nattie, who is sitting down holding her sweater, and Bennie, who is a hispanic man with his hair braided away to the side. There is a pink y2k themed textbox obscuring a section of the screen with Nep saying, "Go on! Toss it, Jiff, toss it!"

The background is similar to the screenshot previous to this image. However, instead of an anime themed beautiful background, it is replaced with quick sketches and solid shapes. The characters on the screen, from left to right, are Nep, Jiffy, Nattie, and Bennie. They all are merely heads and torsos with solid colors as placeholders. The UI is the same as the other screenshot with it being a pink y2k themed textbox obscuring a section of the screen with Nep saying, "Go on! Toss it, Jiff, toss it!"

Here's an edit of @mistershins.bsky.social all dapper in the Fashioning Masculinities fashion collection!! Thank Yoshino from MisterShins' server, the Ecliptic, for finding this and suggesting it!

An edited image of a grey suit and cloak with a pink undercoat and floral themes made by Randi Rahm. In place of the mannequin's neck, the PNGTuber of MisterShins, a streamer, has been photoshopped over it with him smiling at the camera.

I love the polarizing clash of @ranan-culus.bsky.social's beautiful UI to my placeholder sketches for Miraneko. Gamedev is fantastic. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

a screenshot of Miraneko's opening scene. The UI, textbox, and quick menu are pink, styled in girly Y2K fashion, and complete. The character, Nep, is encouraging another character, Jiffy, to toss something into the fire. Compared to the UI, the actual sprites and background are rough sketches with solid coloring.

Here’s my WIP!! I’m redesigning old OCs for a short story I’m writing!!

The image is of a man and a woman standing close to each other. On the left is Octavian, a dark skinned man who stands at Antonia’s chin in terms of height. He wears a revealing top, halfway unbuttoned so that his chest can be seen peeking through it. It remains fastened by a purple corset. Additionally, he is wearing a golden necklace with an Opal pendant and he has dyed purple hair with greying roots

To the right is Antonia. Her dark brown hair is done up in two French braids and stretch past her lower back. She’s wearing very professional styled fashion with a jacket, slacks, and silk shirt. She is looking at the camera with a nonchalant expression.

Working on Demise of a Blue Rose with OCs Aviana and Eloise!

Snapshot of prose reading:
She then looks up at Aviana, lips parting as her brow furrows. Then she goes back to stare at it again.
Eloise purses her lips, “Aviana… what is this?”
“Uhm.”
“Uhm?” Eloise raises an eyebrow before prodding it with her fork.
“Aviana, this is burnt bread.”
