BYE I GUESS

yea so i won't be posting any new art to this site bc of this shit obviously i marked my blog(s) as not fair game but they had already transferred ALL info to midjourney before we got the chance to "opt out" so its only for show. they are not going to sift thru their whole data set to fish out what ppl dont want used. these people are in no way ethical.

i'm considering starting an opt-in art blog with only glazed/shaded posts but at this point i'd rather tumblr just die, badly.

ive been a tumblr user for like 13 years, ive weathered so much bullshit bc i love to look at images on the internet. i kept posting art here when no one cared anymore bc i genuinely loved this site. i hope the other long-time users who somehow arent on the "AI hype train" will also pull their work & effort. this is so insulting and evil and shady. I SHOULD HAVE, BUT SOMEHOW I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING

ANYWAY i have been already using cohost so if you care about seeing my drawings you can follow me there ^_^ and i know i always post about patreon but i'll keep posting all my art there (for the time being.....i bet they are getting offered huge piles of money by midjourney as well. GLAZE YOUR WORK YOU ARE NOT SAFE)

my fundamental belief is that no one should ever post on any website for any reason but as a form of harm reduction for you and for me i have a cohost.

i believe that one day, together, we can end posting forever. until that beautiful day you can find me on cohost dot com (its dot org)

Thank you for being a fan of We Know The Devil and/or Heaven Will Be Mine. It's hard for me to reflect on my past works without thinking about what I could do next and what I could do better. I write out of compulsion, but sharing what I've made is hard, so thank you for treating what I made with kindness, gentleness, and generosity when it's been hard for me to do so. Seeing there are still fans of these games in 2023 has me thinking instead of "I could have done better" something more like "I didn't do too bad." It may be a while before I announce any new original works, because I am working hard to learn the skills that will allow me to kill everyone in the world. Learning new art forms at my age is hard, but it's been rewarding, and I hope even if my abilities are crude I will be able to make something that people like as much as those visual novels.

I have nothing new to say or announce at this time but when I do it will show up here too. If you want my long form writing again it'll be on cohost.org/mammonmachine so check that out if you're interested in why I think machine learning cannot replace the human urge to draw 2B with a huge dick or you'd like an infrequently updated collection of the best sluices in gaming. I also have a twitch channel where I play games with my bestie. Thanks again.

I don’t know who I’m sending this to. But I think about you all the time. In the back of my mind. I know a lot about you. Does that mean you know about me, too? Or are you just glowing brightly in way that I don’t understand? Is anyone else seeing this? Do you get messages like this all the time? Are you aware of how much you loom in the heart of someone you haven’t met? What am I expecting; I don’t even know. This is really awkward. Sorry for doing this. It must really be hard. No, I can’t really know that. This is delusional of me. I’m going to make it stop, because if I don’t, I’m going to come to hate you, because I’m already so frustrated I’m nothing like you. I need to understand why I tear myself apart thinking of you. I’m not going to send this. I don’t know how to send this, and I hope you never read it.

HEAVEN WILL BE MINE IS OUT NOW

Heaven Will Be Mine is a queer science fiction visual novel from the creators of queer cult horror visual novel We Know The Devil, about joyriding mecha, kissing your enemies, and fighting for a new future. A send-up of 1980s giant robot anime and 70s queer science fiction, Heaven Will Be Mine puts players in the cockpits of three women fighting on opposite sides of an interstellar war to decide who they’ll get to furiously make out with the very fate of humanity in space! A game about messy twentysomething lesbian dating and dying science fiction dreams that players will explore from three unique perspectives in missions across the solar system, leading to three different endings.

Features:

•Multiple Playable Protagonists: Watch the narrative unfold from the perspective of one of the three main characters.

•A Battle For The Fate Of Space: Your choices determine which of three factions will emerge victorious and determine the fate of space, as well as the messy arguments, makeouts, and love stories of three lesbian mecha pilots.

•A Rich World To Explore: Look through chat logs and emails to understand the rise and fall of an alternate universe’s 1980s space program, and the end of its dream for humanity’s future.

Available now on Steam and Itch.io, with the soundtrack on Steam and Bandcamp!

BIG NEWS FOR WE KNOW THE DEVIL: WE’RE ON STEAM GREENLIGHT!

The visual novel developed by Date Nighto with words by Aevee Bee and art by Mia Schwartz, 80s horror synth soundtrack by Alec Lambert is on Greenlight, and we need your help! Anyone with an account can vote, so vote and tell all your friends if you wanna see us on Steam, and let them know small queer visual novels belong there too!

Not familiar with We Know The Devil?

WE KNOW THE DEVIL is a short horror visual novel about relationship dynamics, growing pains, queer isolation, summer camp, and The Devil.

It’s something like an OTP simulator: instead of playing as one character, you pick which two you want to see pair off for different tasks and watch them bond while they try to get through their last week of bullshit delinquent kid summer camp. Maybe you want to see what happens when popular tomboy Jupiter deals with shy Venus’s bullies, or which one plays truth or dare with meangirl Neptune. But this also comes at the cost of the third person, unless there’s somehow a way to keep everyone safe?

There are no routes to lock yourself out of, only endings determined by the sum of your choices.

This game does not have jump scares or gore. It does feature themes of isolation and alienation of queer youth in a religious rural setting, abstract psychological horror, some body horror, and possibly alarming music. As in: it uses horror themes and is Not Unscary, but scaring or shocking the player is not the primary goal.

We’ve been overwhelmed with the incredible support and beautiful fanart for this game already! thank you so much <3

Development

Aevee here—we’ve been pretty quiet recently on account of having to make a video game, but we’re entering the final phases of development and so we wanted to talk a little bit about both the setting, characters, and mechanics of Heaven Will Be Mine, and how we are making the game!

If not for spoiling everything, it would be kind of fun to a devblog about the game’s script, but those changes are too subtle to document:

*Came up with a mecha nomenclature based on planetary geography

*Made some adjustments to Saturn’s brattiness/likability ratios

*Added some language to clarify the metaphorical implications of a certain worldbuilding device

I wrote this up as a joke but these were really things, and this is actually great, and maybe I will publicly write something someday. Well, anyways, I’m not going to do this, so I am going to talk about the other kind of writing I am doing for this game, which is working in the markup language Ink. It’s not coding, but it’s hard, so I consider it to be coding, emotionally.

For We Know The Devil, I just sort of told Pillow Fight what I wanted to happen, and we figured it out together. It was a pretty simple mechanic, but this game is bigger and more complicated, and I wanted to be able to have a grip on how it worked as I was writing it. In the same way that you can have a wonderful idea that doesn’t sound any good on the page, the game’s logic feels kind of like a jumble until I can see it actually work. It also frees up the rest of the team to do more important things, and allows me to play more freely with the logic as I go.

Honestly, it’s kind of a nice break sometimes, because unlike writing, which has vague standards of quality, this stuff either does what I tell it or it doesn’t, so I either feel like a complete genius or an utter idiot, which has a kind of relaxing definitiveness to it. Inkle, the editor for Ink, also lets you see an html version of the script and choices, which lets me see what the logic actually does. This is frequently what I actually want it to do, and then I can decide if it was a good idea or not from there.

Heaven Will Be Mine is not that much more complicated, but it turns out: not much more complicated is still a lot complicated. It’s a really different experience to have control over the logic while I’m working on it—this is not news to probably most designers but as I am still pretty new to development, it’s exciting to me!

Standby Test Pilot Saturn—♄ WANTED FOR HIJACKING BY: Celestial Mechanics [Stolen] Ship-Self: Interloper Prototype String of Pearls Combat Style: Button Mashing Bedroom Style: Button Mashing Saturn was the reserve pilot for an existentially horrifying weapon Celestial Mechanics absolutely promised everyone they weren’t trying to make, but now it’s hers! Now their plans are at the mercy of Saturn’s attention span and if they can persuade her to do her job instead of finding older women to get missile salvoed by.
