Visualising the Flow: Ink Explorer TL;DR — A tool for stepping through Ink visually and keeping track of variables.

Another tool! Ink Explorer.

Visualises the shape of an Ink story and lets you play through from any point, watching variables (and tweaking them), keeping track of visit counts, and letting you snapshot and restore the state.

Early days - hope it's useful to someone!

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

Ravensword Press The queer books your parents warned you about!

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen!

Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them!

First job this morning was to decide which expensive trenchcoat a character should be wearing, and I think I've settled on one (and if your stats are right, you can tell it's not pure wool)

A peaceful illustration of a young witch (Samar from the game Spirit Swap: Lofi beats to match-3 to) with pink horns and over the ear headphones, sitting on their bed in front of a big window. The window is surrounded by pothos vines and witchy knickknacks, and her Familiar, a pink round Frog with a unicorn horn, sleeps happily loafing next to her.

What would life be like if you moved to a city where plants carry magic like cables carry electricity in our world? What does a queer Arab fantasy world feel like? We’re making a solo-journaling TTRPG set in that world for zine month🐸 sliding scale PDF available!

A somewhat-famous actor also went to my school, but he was four years younger than us and adorable so no bullying involved there, thankfully

On high school famous people: a musician who's now I think slightly niche-famous? bullied me and my now-wife homophobically in high school, she beat him up then threatened him when he tried to say she started it, and he never bothered us again

Yes to this whole thread but especially this part. The idea that we have some kind of collective social responsibility to find a use for these products because companies have already invested so much money in them is the exact inverse of how a healthy economy should function.

Kinophobia by Bruno Dias Explore a haunted movie studio. Learn the fates of its tormented souls. End a curse inscribed in blood and celluloid.

I've updated KINOPHOBIA, my horror-mystery parser game from last year's Halloween, with a number of typo fixes. Meaning that now is an *even better* time to play it, if you haven't already – it's legal, it's free, and it's actually quite hard according to most players. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia

Hope you get well soon! I've got a cold today as well, hate how it puts a dent in work momentum

Megan Carnes Megan Carnes. Chicago, Illinois.

For the past few Bandcamp Fridays I’ve been a little self conscious posting about it, since I haven’t released any new music in awhile. However! People are always super cool and nice and supportive, and I’m very grateful 💚

So pls check out my music. It may not be new, but I’m still very proud of it

sometimes a romance confession scene is you and your new evil girlfriend plotting the bi awakening of your straight female bestie

sometimes you and a romanceable NPC have a heart-to-heart and you can melt into a hug that suddenly means something...different to what it meant before

sometimes a romanceable NPC is like I'M SO BORED AND ANNOYED ABOUT HAVING TO STAY INDOORS AND I'M CLAWING AT THE WALLS CAN WE MAKE OUT

The horse is placed so centrally in folklore because our relationship to it has always been a defining cultural feature. Its ghosts are many. They pull spectral corpse carts, are steeds in phantom battles. A network of invisible clip-clopping down a thousand lanes. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreThursday

I'm in the relatively uncharted waters of Death of the Outsider (when it came out my wife only played it once and it was mostly when I wasn't there, so my memory is blurry) and now my family has to put up with me having a lot of thoughts and feelings about the Outsider
