watched this on valentines day, perfect footage

a horrible (wonderful) piece on the trauma of homeschooling, being afraid of being perceivewd, the agony of not using your life to enjoy it, and the consequences of how wanting to make yourself smaller makes you difficult to grasp.

this feels like a very contemporary piece to me. I oftenthink on the consequences of covid lockdowns on different people. and how internet dwellers in general often lack in the in-person socialization that actually makes for a bseline level of existential contentness. tragic.

the visuals were nice, and I enjoyed the subdued sound design! this is a difficult piece of writing because it's messy and I know that this will hit vastly different for different people. I emphasize with kenzie a lot, even if she had some minor faults. I know girls that would find themselves in deirdre, and I have seen these motions play out a few times. sigh

yeah I'm not sure what it is, the graphics do start out really low, but I couldn't find out what causes a bunch of performance drain on some systems :c

I'm really happy that my artist statements had such an effect on you :3

idk if you knew, but I'm currently hosting a jam (NOISE JAM 2) and it's really beginner-friendly. If you join that discord you can also find me and DM me if you wanna pick my brain apart more! (If you prefer other means of communication, I have those listed on my website)

an absolutely commanding piece of art, I really really liked the characters, and the messaging. it felt good

Aaaaa thank you for playing! Reading your thoughts means so much to me :3

And I totally believe in you being able to create art that emotionally resonates with others. Wordvomit into a text document and see where it grows to. Even if it doesn't land, you'll still have learned things to sharpen your chops for another go the next time around >:3

Join a jam and get writing, I would love to see what you make of this spark!

that is a delightful compliment, thank you so much <3

holy fuck

absolutely sobering

aw cute!!

FLAGBURNER IS SO FUCKING GOOD THIS IS LOVELY VIOLENCE

(also I wanted to check out hollow steel but found it restricted :c)

Hi! I was one of the the noise jam hosts half a year ago and your submission immediately caught my eye but I only now found the time to actually check it out and I am so sad I didn't earlier, this fucking rules

The everything of it all is so nice. You open with graphics settings, all the interaction UIs are so fun and smooth, the graphical style itself fucking shreds!!!

I didn't expect something this interactive and comprehensive for the jam ngl? and entire dungeon crawler??? I loved the Psychopomp-style HUD and how you put it on in the beginning.

The environment design is lovely. The 3d environments and landscape features are so fucking cool, the smoke rising is really intuitive open world design, the delivery animations are so cute

this is an abslutely delightful little experience :3

Thank you for playing!!!!

minimalist flappy bird in 2026 holy shit

had a few chill minutes with this :3

aaaa hi gwen!! I'm so glad you enjoy it hehehehe

heh

that is insane and absolutely wonderful to read <3

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST VNS I'VE EVER READ

The proper nouns for Layer, Terrain, Machine, etc fuck immensely

59FTM hooks directly into your most primal understandings of the world. You don't need to know why 59 climbs the canyon in the beginning, but climbing a rock wall is a pretty human thing to do

The sex was so good. The defiance in it all.

THE FUCKING VISUALS. holy shit, I am fucking speechless at the presentation, the amount of bespoke art in this feels surreal to find in this density and this runtime. THE STYLE OF IT ALL. FUCK.

This is one of those cases of "I think I'd have a different body of work now if I played this a few years ago.". Truly transformative and lovely. Fuck I need to play more of your work.

hii :3 can be a physical game!!

I FINALLY PLAYED DOGS OF CHERNOBYL

I DID NOT EXPECT UNITY LMAO

the noise in the intro alone fucks so hard. the visuals are haunting

this is rough in an endearing way, and it makes me feel weirdly inspired in a way I haven't felt much this year. it's raw and unapologetic

this is really good. this feels like art I would've made 3 years ago, and I mean this in an absolutely positive way because I know where those first few bits of groundwork have led me now, 3 years past that point.

I AM SO HAPPY I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO PLAYING THIS!!!!

the main menu track slaps and THE INTRO IS SO GOOD SO UNIQUE FOR RENPY ESPECIALLY!! THIS HAD ME SEATED FROM THE WORD GO. The artwork also worked so hard here, it is a delightful aesthetic and color palette and the slightly off-kilter proportions and stylizations give this a crap ton of character. Dodie feels like she could be from strange french cartoons from my childhood in the best way possible

The shitty apartment shower and curtain mold sufferingvibe is incredibly accurate; the delirous late night cleaning focus that's disproportionaltely eroding your body. the feeling a bit shitty about it but it not being a worldending catastrophe, just a notch in a life that's a little dogshit sometimes.

AND OF COURSE;; VERA IS ADORABLE!!! the script and character interactions precious and delightful. The use of emoticons and how Dodie and Vera chat amongst each other and warm up each other's language is deeply seeped with affection and care. SNAILSHELL manages to capture a type of mundane down-to-earth display of mutual care in such accurate and striking detail and efficacy that it just makes me feel a little warm inside and that the ways I and my friends care for each other when things are just a little more shit than usual are nothing more than the sweet morsels they need to be. Thank you for making this!! Absolute delight hehehe

aaaa <3

aaa niss!! I'm so happy ou want to persevere with the combat! I am really happy that we've seem to struck a balance of a game where you can actually get better

also thank you for the camera compliments, the folow logic is my precious little baby >.<

thanks so much for playing!!!!

this deserves to be played in a half-construction site basement just out of town to an audience of 20 weirdos that all have relinquished all grasp on traditional forms of art

the soundscape and visuals felt like choking me out

the "i love you too", and the chapter that followed, felt like a gut punch (good)

the mirroring of how the text in limacina open seasons unfolds between the whole-word angels and flowy humans forms a lovely metanarrative throughline! really reframes what angels can even be in this world!

the line of Her hand gliding over entrails almost made me tear up

I am HEAVILY biased but the backgrounds are fantastic, I really liked the limited palette

there's a visceral undreamline quality to them, especially when accopanied by the droning of the background music

I'm not active at all in the ABO space, I think this is the first omegaversefic I ever read in full actually, so often the abo stuff around pheromones and claiming felt like a layer of scaffolding that wouldn't have been needed to support the story, but it's not actually something negative to me, take it more like an oursider's perspective hehe

some more feedback and critique I wrote down:

a general typographic hint: centered text is generally a bit more taxing on the eyes to read than left-bound text because the eyes have to readjust to find the new beginning of the sentence every time, instead of having one common rest position. maybe this was intentional, and it wasn't a huge issue, but a small thing I just wanted to mention

the pacing was good! a very minor point was that as the first words left alpha's voice I would've wished we got description of her tone thne, instead of a few lines later. The reveal of omega behind alpha was really well done, imo it could've cut alpha's words even short unexpectedly hehe, but yeah, genuinely really good reveal as a first CG especially

the hand degloving scene was harrowing and I loved it so much. great level of intensity and fucked-up-ness!! Alpha's toxicity and self-righteousness is horrid and disgusting and she's such a good character for it. fuck her for real, Omega deserved better-

enjoyable read over all, was the first thing to catch my eyes when I looked at the submissions as they started coming in a few weeks ago :3

holy fucking shit I am at a loss for words for your comment. this absolutely floors me to read, it washes the adrenaline and programmer headspaces I currently find myself in out of my head and makes me calm down and introspect about the intimacy of creating art. i see and love every one around me, we'll touch each other's beautiful souls with gay fucking art- there's always a life beyond your shitty family-of-origin.

thank you for your thoughtful comment <3 I am honored to have reached you :3

I absolutely encourage you to put your heart out there, people and other critters will gain something from it! start small, and always have in mind who you want to reach with it, even maybe just yourself

you touch my heart <3

the lore and themes are loosely connected across this collection!

aw thank you, I am delighted to hear that <3 feel free to reach out over bsky or discord and I can give you an overview of the project / answer more specific questions

This was so so fucking lovely. As I'm writing this, my brain is full of fog from days of mental strain and working really hard on a bunch of stuff and yet I couldn't stop reading. All 13000 words just strung me along sentence after sentence, and I never once felt out of place reading it. This is such a real and relatable portrayal of teenage trans struggles, many of these scenes reminded me of my own teen years (I sound so old lmao), and also a bunch of bullshit I went / am going through with my family.

From a narrative perspective, this was a fucking unique and striking take on an omniscient narrator, with all the different temporalities interwoven into the prose, and it always oscillating in serving as internal monologue or comment on the situation at hand. It quite directly felt like the story and world and characters were too big to contain into a neat narrative, and so their details spill out at every crevice. Absolutely fantastic writing.

Thank you so much for the comment <3

That song should be Electric mandocello drone in Gm by spurioustransients

this was so fucking grating (positive) & unique, great fucking submission to the jam :3

I fuck with this hard

waow what a fucking experience

I really really liked how you just went "and then it gets worse / more harrowing" at every turn without break. the capitalist hellscape. everyone you have any ties to is dead. the bodily alientation at the hands of the military. the anxiety of trans isolation among cis peers. the flesh mechs. the loss of other girls. feral mechs as a concept. the digestion. just sheer and utter suffering for zuri and the others and I fuck with it so hard. 

the grey and fleshy color palette was really evocative too. the obvious parallels between the big grinding nutrient paste and the war is so nice, considering how disgusting and visceral said war is.

banger

Your comment is absolutely wonderful and delightful to read, a gentle brush on so many delicate topics, and it warms me to hear you were affected in these ways. 

We fucking love intense and fucked up art out here!! I hope your art endeavors go well ehehe, love you too!!

also,, I am floored and honored that you took the time and effort and money to set up the redirect holy fucking shit!!! this is so fucking cool <3

(and if you feel like it, you can contact me if you wanna get more folks in your life to talk to loner dog about :3)

yes you are, this is the internet :3

tho I have no idea what it'll do to you then dfhjgbjdfg

I'm so glad I finally got around to reading noise girl! The visuals were so unique, I loved how busy every single screen was.

the usage of only audio + images in place of any other form of narration at certain points was so strong; visuals so noisy it was difficult to make anything out at times;; fucking amazing

the story itself had several harrowing moments that mirror many experiences across neurodivergent spectrums I think . The general scariness of just being not quite there, of failing social support systems on a societal and personal level... the fuzzy edges around your own perception of sexual assault

this felt weighty and rough in all the right places

tysm! The first music track should be Shoot-Gun by Koi-discovery

hehe thank you! I'm glad you got around to enjoying it so much ^^

I used to have donations enabled but itch.io (or payment processors rather) made it against ToS to pay for adult games, so it's just all free now. I have a patreon set up as kinda a tip jar, and anyone can still donate through my sfw projects,tho I never expect anyone to

glad to have you here :3

hehehe cisgender society crumbling beneath my paws >:3

thank you for feeling all these things and letting your body go through a bit of hell for it too

Very very happy about having shifted your perspective on life!!! Thank you so so much for your words, they're delightful to read <3

collective unconscious hug!!!!

I'm glad it resonated with you as much as it did, and that you can even boast about being in a better place now!

i love you too
