Aid Request (& Bday Goal): Car Repairs!

Earlier this month, my car window broke.

My partner & I live in a very car-dependent area. She has to drive ~45min one-way to get to her weekday job, and the closest bus stop is over an hour on foot from our new-ish housing situation.

I have been underemployed for a full year now, and my partner (who works 2 jobs to support us) had to cancel clients while the window was broken. This event also compounded on existing vehicle-related expenses: car tab renewal and break replacement.

Because of this situation, URGENT COMMISSIONS are OPEN.

Examples of recent commission (and volunteer/non-commercial project work) below:

I love drawing cats and romantic anime-inspired scenes!

Donos are no-doubt appreciated, but I would also love to draw something in exchange for your support.

Your aid helps out a T4T couple and 2 cute cats!

Shares appreciated. Thank you!

Support JamKats (Zac) ❤️

#OCkiss26 | Day 1: Impulse

Gonna be drawing characters from my latest visual novel, The Witch is No Good for You this week~

Brigitte (the werewolf) was meant to be a LI, but was cut due to scope... That doesn't mean she can't sneak in some smooches!

... I forgot Anh's horns oopsies

The Witch is No Good for You!

Witch is NG is a dramatic, romantic (?) visual novel set in a fantasy world, following the story of Allin and their search for love.

Break up with your toxic, cheating, witch of a girlfriend and either (1) figure out what the hell her deal is or (2) accept comfort from your beloved friend.

Bouquet in hand, Allin, an asexual succubus, arrives at the town formal hoping to surprise their girlfriend, only to find her in the arms of another! Will they seek solace (and scalding "I-told-you-so's") from their longtime friend? Or will they ignore the red flags just a moment longer?

Features

🥀 ~7k words/route 🥀 4 endings 🥀 3 CGs 🥀 MC customization 🥀 Dramaaaaa

Note: This visnov is finishing up development and was released early to meet game jam deadlines (SWAK 2026 & Ace Jam!). Sprites/animations may be missing in the last half of the game.

Please check out the game page for Content Warnings!

The Witch is No Good for You by zacbytesgames, Louise Nobue, Cydewyn, Conway Sutton, Mich, Exkalemation, OTOJANG Games, pyrogirl8

hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.

[modmad]

watch out for the trap! there's ONE QUESTION where the last option *isn't* the max 'no AI' option, read each part carefully to be sure

6 Days Left to purchase the Play for Peace Games for Palestine Charity Bundle!

$8 for nearly 400 games, art, & assets from devs around the world. It's an amazing deal, and all proceeds go towards aid relief through the UNRWA.

Bundle Link:

Play for Peace - Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle: 382 items for $8.00

I am feeling a little starstruck from having my work (A Tome in the Attic and Cat Paw Cursors) included in the same bundle as other, bigger indie games, but I am ultimately grateful that we are all contributing towards a meaningful effort, together. I had a lot of fun drawing Allin's face after so long too!
