Approximately three queers in a trench coat making interactive fiction together 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Our visual novel, The Left Eye, is in early access now! 🖥️ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3811440 🎮 https://hauntedtrumpet.itch.io 👻🎺 https://www.hauntedtrumpet.com
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
This month's DEVIL'S LIMINAL update is up!
🖤Someone goes missing!
🖤Attend the worst possible party!
🖤Shower with your girlfriend??? (in a sad way)
Def the most horror-centric update yet for my yuri visual novel.
Check it out! s.team/a/2271270/

@kymberleyc.bsky.social is not only a great voice actor, but has so far written four jazz tracks for The Left Eye!
In a glimpse into her creative process, you see all the passion and experience for storytelling that she brings to her music!

A screenshot of a game showing a title card in the style of silent movies. There are art deco diamond designs in each corner. The text in the centre reads: "THE LEFT EYE EPISODE THREE: PAS DE CHANCE"
A screenshot of a visual novel. A pair of boots, viewed from behind, dangle down. The text printer UI takes up the bottom third of the screen, and the narration reads: "Her legs swing over the edge of the bunk, and I see a flash of truth: army boots, bare legs." The image is in monochrome with a slight dreamy blur/chromatic aberration effect.
❤️ Happy Valentine's Day and happy #screenshotsaturday! We've been adding fancy little borders to our intertitles, and also more detailed CGs of Jackie's boots 👀

Don't cross the picket line!
Do not play any games from Ubisoft, don't discuss them (without the context of the strike), DON'T BUY THEM.
Ubisoft might not be everyone's cup of tea but their workers are doing their thing and fighting for better conditions and we need to show support.
Episode 3 CGs are coming along very nicely 💕

The Noblest Of Creatures: Stray Cat is out!

But am I not a good monster? Don’t I speak English beautifully? Aren’t I so pleasant and calm? Don’t I tell good stories, just the same as the rest of you?
Wrote a thing for the Neruromyths Zine, supported by the Royal Society of Literature! My entry is The Eel, a mermaid/sea monster story that’s sat in my thoughts for 10+ years. It’s close to my heart, and to my understanding of who I am.
Grab a copy of the zine at cephalopodical.itch.io/neuromyths

A screenshot of the Twine editor with a large number of connected nodes indicating a branching narrative structure. The text on the nodes is largely too small to read but pertains to the flow of a poker game: different actions can be taken in different rounds.
@conwaaaaaaay.bsky.social has been using #twine to help diagram the more fiddly branching in #lefteye episode 3
This part is for a poker game that Emile manages to attend by mistake 🫠

A monochrome image of two men, focused on their torsos. A shorter man in a suit jacket is facing a taller man in a shirt and suspenders, and is wiping wine off his neck with a handkerchief. The lower quarter of the image shows a visual novel user interface, and identifies the speaker as Alex, the taller man. He is saying “We must be spending too much time together”.
#screenshotsaturday! One of our first CGs from episode 3 by @sanorganes.bsky.social. Alex and Emile are getting pretty familiar 🌝

one lazy person in front of a piece of paper with "working on the game" in it. Bunch of people panicking in a room on fire. People are called "doing marketing", "rent due", "IA slop", "art block" and "politics". This is a good representation of how life is going on rn

Cute illustration of a siamese cat sitting on a stack of waffles, decorated with a pad of butter on the cat's head and shiny blueberries. Text around the cat reads "ko-fi.com/jamkats" and "jamkats sticker club '25"
Commissioned coloured fanart sketch of Sylus from Love and Deep Space. The character is leaning against the player character, holding her hand, and whispering "Poor Thing". I tried to frame it as if it were from a traditional, 2D CG cut-scene on a desktop.
Illustrated graphic to promote Play for Peace: Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle, hosted by @SEAgamesforgood Features Allin, a character from A Tome in the Attic, wearing a keffiyeh and eating a watermelon sitting next to Jam, a pale-purple, bipedal cat with piercings, using a controller to play a game on a TV partially obscuring the foreground. My short visual novel, A Tome in the Attic, and tool/asset, Cat Paw Cursors, were included in the bundle, and I wanted to create an illustration to promote it.
A compilation of Allin's expressions from my 5-10 minute visual novel, A Tome in the Attic.

A colored sketch of Sidonai and Nicolo. Sidonai wears a blue kurta with a gold dupatta draped over his shoulder and sprawled out beside him. Nicolo wears a brown waistcoat and a white shirt.

Colored art of my OC, Yevgeny. He wears a blood stained shirt, smiling while holding a bloody dagger up to his face.
A rendered drawing of my OC, Sidonai in an art nouveau style. He is wearing golden armor and holding a silver rapier across his chest. He wears a serious and solemn expression and looks at the viewer. The background consists of art nouveau-style decorations in purple, gold and blue, featuring various flower motifs
A colored sketch of my OC, Camio, in his palace garden. There is a large lemon tree and the entrance to a white rose hedge maze. Camio stands with a young potted tree in his arms and smiles at the viewer.

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Carrot, an artist and game dev making queer games and art (mostly overdramatic and sometimes horror-stained mlm and mlnb). I recently lost my job as an editor, so it'd mean a lot if you'd check out my work as I try to figure out what the heck I'm gonna do!
