We're getting so close to release!!!
So let's look back on some of the ideas that didn't make it into the final version, from condom management to a horniness meter and more: davisgsee.itch.io/desert-of-as...

A crop of an illustration. A dark-skinned man leans on a pool table, with billiards balls scattered about. His head isn't visible. At his hips, someone else's fingertips can just be seen.

In 2024, we showcased DESERT OF ASH at @citruscon.bsky.social and answered viewer questions. The whole demo playthrough couldn't be uploaded to YouTube for π reasons, but I've now edited and uploaded the Q&A!

A screenshot of a visual novel. The background shows the bustling plaza of a ruined city, crowds of people backed by destroyed skyscrapers. Surrounding the image is a purple and black gradient border. Text box reads, "It's quieter than usual today. People look at you as you emerge, then look away."
A screenshot of a visual novel. The background image shows endless grey dunes on a sunny day. In the foreground is a tan man with a beard and dark hair. Surrounding the image is a purple and tan gradient border. Text box reads, "You grow weak as you walk on. You know you should eat, but your food is so limited."
Finally implemented a fun little bonus feature: multiple text box colours! In addition to the default red, two other versions show up in certain circumstances. Now, when might you run into these colour schemes...? π€

A screenshot of the main menu screen from the visual novel His Own Being. Art of a nude man is mirrored on the left and right.
A screenshot of the visual novel His Own Being. A blurred background image in a green hue shows a mall interior with a decent number of people. Over that is a large text box in a black frame. The text reads: A man appeared before me. He was beautiful. Beefy, but soft. Dark chest hair escaping from his shirt collar. Glimmering green eyes. Soft-spoken. "Sorry I'm late." He kissed me. I smiled into it. He took my hand, and we set off together. My heart was so full. I was in love with him.
A screenshot from the interactive fiction game Undone, of text on a black background. Text reads, "It's all black out there, save for a smattering of white dots, most only as big as the head of a pin. They seem stationary, despite how fast you know you must be moving. You can't imagine how far away they must be for that to be the case. You look left and right, but there are no other landmarks. All there is is space."
A screenshot from the short story Deliver Us From Flame, of text on a white background. Text reads, "Itβs the middle of the work day and instead of sitting at my desk in a suffocating tie, I am laying on the deck of someone elseβs yacht, with a clear sky above me and cum drying on my stomach, and I am present in all the bliss implied therein for only a moment before something shifts in my brain and I start to think that Iβve done this a few too many times, that this scene is getting to be a little played out. Tino talks a lot after sex and heβs talking about wind, how isnβt it nice that the wind blows inland, it keeps the smoke off us. Iβm listening without hearing, responding without thought, thinking that Iβm tired of his squeaky voice. Itβs time."

An illustration of a cat, sitting with one paw in front of her, with an interested expression. She is a tortoiseshell cat with dark fur across one half of her face and lighter fur across the other half, a dark back, light paw, and orange accents across her side and above her eyes. She is a gorgeous, beautiful, lovely cat.
I cannot BELIEVE we haven't talked about Loyola yet. no wonder we don't have a million wishlists.
anyway this is Loyola π
