I made a Visual Novel

Know That I Loved You by Snail

Even if all else falls away.

And YOU should check it out!! made it for a self-imposed game jam during the month of March 2026; I didn't meet the deadline of March 31st but needed to bleed development a week or so into April. I conceptualized it from three randomly generated prompts, capped it off at around 10k words, and got to work.

The final result is a short story exploring the relationship between two men — colleagues, researchers, old friends — out in a research station set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland; right after one of them has died.

... Or has he?

A tragedy with hints of psychological horror, about 40-50 minutes long. Contains NSFW segments, violence, brief brushes with suicidal ideation as well as segments with flashing lights. Adults only.

a Cool Rock, with a dash of gold & body horror.

i'm especially happy with the gemstones, which are made of transparent worbla & colored with markers. i've made crystals like this for a doll once before, and it was nice to do a design that revolves around them.

Warhammer 40,000 is of course, uh, not unproblematic. But patterning orks specifically and incredibly blatantly off English football hooligan culture was probably simultaneously the least bigoted and most creative thing literally anyone did with the concept of 'the orc' at any point in the 1980s

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

[quantum-jump]

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

[paramourblessings]

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

[autisticcaleb]

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.

T4T is never hetslop by the way, that's actually swaghet.

[st-dionysus]

Got ppeople telling me this is "hetgem", absolutely the fuck not, that sounds like a name for some sort of Steven Universe discourse. Putting forth a motion to standardize swaghet.

[st-dionysus]

Wait, isn't hetgem actually the drug they give you to treat cancer?? Gang we are not using the brand name of a prescription medication for F/M trans relationships. I once again motion the use and standardization of swaghet.

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

but do you play shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less 🤨

[slitherpunk]

the thing about "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" is that these games exist and are out there and you have to make the conscious choice to seek them out instead of just expecting the big companies to deliver this, because they will not

[slitherpunk]

addendum

[whatthehellisthis-world]

People have this image of non binary people in their mind as quirky cis or binary trans people who have "spicy pronouns" instead of a legitimate categorisation of gender, and it pisses me off.

They don't even think medical transition for non binary people even exist. And that pisses me off even more.

[genderkoolaid]

#prev: not replying to you just adding onto what you said.#the real materialist argument is that sex is not binary because it just isn't. at best it is bimodal#but as someone who usually subscribes to materialist philosophy i don't even believe that#people are nonbinary because they just are .#and i don't feel the need to interrogate it further

needed to peer review these tags because what you said is so based and real. "people are nonbinary because they just are & i don't feel the need to interrogate it further" is EXACTLY how i feel.

we exist. it can be clearly observed. "why are people nonbinary" is an interesting question to ask only as much as "can two people ever truly see the same color."

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

[luna-azzurra]

Some writing advice I will never give up:

Your characters are allowed to be bad people. Your story is allowed to have no moral lesson.yyour ending is allowed to be sad. The villain can win. The good person can do something unforgivable. The lovers can destroy each other. You are allowed to write the thing that no one asked for and everything that everyone told you doesn’t work and you are allowed to not explain yourself.

It’s your story. Burn it down if you want to.

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

[6480n]

I LOVE this post and wanted to add some additional info, cause I see a lot of people who assume that drawing asian hair is the same as drawing white hair. This is not the case! There’s more to it than just the color.

Image description for the original post and my addition are underneath the read more at the end.

Thank you for reading! Once again, image description for my images and OP’s images are under the cut.

Just like OP, I’m only one single person, so if anyone wants to correct me or add something I missed, then go for it. And further disclaimer, there are exceptions to everything I’ve said in this post, and it only applies to East and Southeast asian people who are either not mixed or white-mixed, as those are the hair types I’m most familiar with.

Edit: AUGH I FORGOT TO mention this but @ everyone in the comments talking about blue eyes on biracial asians, here’s another guide I made that goes over color inheritance for biracial people: https://6480n.tumblr.com/post/633074808569069568/making-this-guide-because-i-see-this-question-time

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid
