faea gaming: May '25
This month's faea gaming is a really long one -- I stole the time to play through an awful lot of shorter games, including a lot of fascinating, under-the-radar indies that I'd love to see more eyes on. Have a read, and find something new and interesting!: faearie.neocities.org/posts/2025-0...

POKΓ©MON Red/Blue - Girl Hack by virtual-butterfly
Play Gen 1 as a girl!
Last year I made a Pokemon Red and Blue hack that fixes the only real problem with the game β that you can't play as a girl! The hack changes the player sprites and some of the gendered text. It's now downloadable for the first time: virtual-butterfly.itch.io/pokerb-girl

A small stone room, housing what I can only assume to be the tower's inhabitants. These giant egg statues stick out like a sore thumb -- they're the only things that don't feel like they'll crumble if I so much as look at them. Don't think I should stick around here long.
A tight, winding path up the tower. I don't know what the walls are made of, and I sure as hell don't want to find out, but this somehow feels... cleaner? More secure? than the building I came from.
Here are a couple of the environments you'll come across while climbing the tower in UNFORMED. These strange, tight caves seem to be weaving in and out of the crumbling stone ruins... what could have happened here?

faea gaming: April '25
In this month's faea gaming, I started to find my footing with other games after my month-long Touhou binge. Perhaps most notably, I, for the first time in my life, play a game starring a certain blue hedgehog... What do I think of it? Find out here: faearie.neocities.org/posts/2025-0...

Tale of a Runaway Dog ~ A DOGSITR Retrospective
(You can also read this on my blog here ! I write about other stuff as well, go check it out!) Hello! I released DOGSITR, my experimental, mood-focused V-Pet (and my first game!) in December 2024. I t...
I wrote a piece on my game, DOGSITR: a numberless virtual pet built around mood and communication barriers. I talk about my perspective, its strongest ideas, and some of its shortcomings. You can read it on my blog (in bio), or here: virtual-butterfly.itch.io/dogsitr-dog-...
