I took a break from Our Life to explore the #lgbtq options on #itchio and found this little #walkingsimulator by @purplesloth.studio for exploring different gender identities and expressions. I enjoyed it so much, I inadvertently dressed to match one of the rooms. youtu.be/XpWkGAufgTc?...

The photo shows a ticket machine and the doors of the tram on either side of the one person seat.

TRAILS is a cozy puzzle game in which you guide sand ships across a crumbling desert to reach isolated outposts. Draw paths for each ship across the treacherous sands, planning carefully to avoid collisions and ensure each ship reaches its goal. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

Level 5 of our game TRAILS in portrait mode.
Two sandships need to get to their goals. There are already paths drawn in.

Level 46 of the main path of TRAILS in portrait mode. A grey ship has already got a path through the red desert and the player needs to get two other ships towards their destination while bringing water to some villages and not crashing into each other.

Oh, true! Did you create levels yourself? Was there anything about that level editor that convinced you to do so more than those of other games?

Purple Sloth Studio @purplesloth.studio · 18/09/2025

So what do you think about level editors in puzzle games? Is that something you want or would use? Is there a game that you enjoyed more because of the level editor or community levels? #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #levelEditor

Yeah, we are very much in the Kei range with our games 😅 Interesting to see in the article: even though the number of kei games increases rapidly, their total market share stays at about 25% of games sold. No wonder it's getting more and more difficult to sell small games... #indieGameDev

Cover art with the title "J'ai encore mangé mes doigts" hand written, a picture of Rose looking at the person holding the camera, hand on her mouth, plastic bag in the other. She is sitting in front of a bunch of pigeons.
A text is written on the left of the picture going like this (it's long)

and you know from time to time i'm
just afraid of the power of my desire
like when i'm trapped with myself
looking at the ceiling and wanting
wanting wanting and waiting for
the time to pass really fast so
tomorrow will be now and now
will by with you, so i'm trapped with
myself and the many seconds
are sharped bladed fingers that dig
rivers on my skin and my soul split
for as many nails are caressing my
chest, and the water flows and i'm
horny and i'm tired and i'm longing
for hours and hours for something that
i cannot describe because i don't know
what i really want, seriously, what
do i fucking want in the end - therapy
doesn't fucking end, doesn't it ? - so
i'm drown in my desire of nowness
feeling the urge of being able to
perceive the now of all the things
that surround me and i know i i i i
i i i i can try to focus but it's harder
than i always think to be here with
you and everyone because i need to
be here to begin with and not just
a melted existing being that cannot
endure any form of movement without
bursting in tears of tiredness cause
now this is a thing that i need to accept
that i can't do the things i thought
i could handle when i was young
and not that type of socially exhausted
person so i'm constantly afraid of
myself so i talk a lot, to myself,
for long period of time out loud
to figure what i should do with all
my being and the result is
always that i still should try to
exist because when i'm with
you it's fucking amazing,
that kind of amazing that
makes me want to become the sun
because i want to shine for you
because this is one of your
side effect on me, you are
my sunshine and i'm a mirror
of your smile, and as a happy mirror
i smile back at you

Our latest puzzle game TRAILS is not very queer - but we certainly are 😅 Our collective is explicitely queer-feminist consisting of several non-binary / gender-queer folks and some cis allies 😊

With the upcoming mobile release of TRAILS, that will include a free intro section with the full game being available as a one time purchase we felt that it was only fair to offer a similar deal to desktop users.

Just make it exist first - you can make it good later! When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week! #indieGameDev #prototyping

the "just make it exist first" meme. In the first row of images a screenshot of a prototype of our game Trails using only unity buildin elements like simple cubes and spheres is placed next to the sentence "Just make it exist first" and a crudely drawn circle. In the second row a screenshot during a later phase of development with very rough outline shaders but somewhat final colors and some 3d models. In the third row next to a perfect circle and the sentence "You can make it good later" is a screenshot of our final game with a well balanced cartoon look, a background texture and refined UI.

Purple Sloth Studio @purplesloth.studio · 01/08/2025

Same here 😅 Especially if you already have a vision in mind for some part of the game it is so tempting to start there to see the vision come to life... But in prototyping you have to focus on the parts that you are _the_least_ certain about to see whether you can make them work!

It's supposedly about porn and abuse at the moment, but "adult content" will include any form of queerness soon enough! We need to create alternatives - but in the meantime we also need to stand together and fight what is happening! #sexWorkIsWork
