It's been 5 years since I published my very first #visualnovel, Pillars on Poppy Hills! For its 5th anniversary, I did a big overhaul on its GUI, added some accessibility, and there's 4 new side stories you can check out!

Basically a jam where either the main character or one of the love interests is canonically trans and/or non binary (so gender selectable doesn't count)

Let me add more games to my itch list of "otome/amare games with canon trans characters"

Screenshot from the free VN "Disruptive Compassion." It shows an individual sitting on the floor in the dark. The top part of their face is cut off and they have a small smile. A window is to the left of them, showing the night time sky. At the bottom is a textbox which reads "I'd rather die then trade fairytales."

Anyway, throwback to the original. At the time, in 2023, I decidedly felt nothing towards it, but as time has gone on, I've thought a lot about Sterling and the story he has to tell.

Again, who knows if anything will come of this but for now it's been cathartic to write!!

Game art from the unreleased wip "Silver Tongued Youth." It shows a person with long dark hair with a panicked expression turning around to face the camera. A fire rages around them.

Screenshot of a WIP script. It reads: "Before we start, there's some things you need to know." "The first is that you may call me Sterling." "It's not my real name, but it's the name history will remember me by." "The second is that what I'm about to tell you is a fairy tale." "So no matter how bad things seem to get, you can be assured in that." "This is all make believe." "No one is dead." "This is all make believe." "Everybody is fine." "The last thing you need to know is this fairy tale begins where history ends."

"Do not look towards the smoke on the horizon, where all your flags are burning." "Do not look towards the water, where we've tossed the corpses in." "Only look towards us, as we strip you of your mother tongue." "Remember this life will be better than you could ever dream."

I may never finish or release it, but I dragged out Disruptive Compassion from its grave and have been chipping away at a prequel; Silver Tongued Youth

I hope they stay safe

It's especially potent considering the fact that you will see multiple trump flags hung on houses on a single street.

Hell, I walked past a house that had a literal Nazi flag hung up in their garage.

Like what those kids are doing is firmly against all adult politics here

Just drove past The Kids doing a walkout protesting ICE in my nowhere town that scews conservative..

Honestly, really proud of them. It's the biggest protest I've seen in my area, and I've lived here my whole life

A digital painting featuring a young man sitting on steps. Flower bushes frame him, and there's a field of flowers behind him. He has messy, wavy brown hair, light brown skin, and is wearing a pastel orange sweater with blue jeans. He's smiling sheepishly at the camera and is holding a white tulip.

Think I'll put together a "maybe" list for the year actually, and see what happens.

That sounds like a lot more fun than trying to have strict "goals."

I have no goals for 2026 because honestly I just don't like the pressure of them but I do have maybes.

And one of those maybes is to make a little art book if only for myself because I think it'd be neat to have on my shelf :>
