It feels like 90% of the time, a romance conflict is about whether someone is "faithful," rather than whether two people have a good relationship. Non-monogamy would resolve so many Hollywood romances 👀

Ever since I became non-monogamous, I am in constant amazement at how often mainstream media leans on toxic aspects of monogamy to create conflict in romantic stories. Just sayin'

There are dozens of ways to do it but going out of your way to support black creators does not mean your work has less value. If you feel like doing so jeopardizes your opportunities then take a moment to realize you did not care about equality.
You cared about advantage.

Super cool to meet the dev duo behind and see their #UE4 driven narrative title showing at .

Last weekend we got together with some friends and made a silly FMV game for the Global Game Jam. It has bad acting, a ghost, and people getting way too excited about watching Bandersnatch. globalgamejam.org/2019/games/my-

I'm very excited to reveal this trailer! I drew like a mad-woman to get all the CGs done in time

While searching for reference photos of people kissing/embracing for drawings, I've noticed something unsettling: about 99% of photos I find assume the male perspective, making the woman the object of desire and visually central
In our latest Dev Update for patrons, we discuss the decisions we faced while planning the next Crimson Spires trailer, and how to make a fictional town seem familiar... #crimsonSpires #gamedev #vndev ow.ly/4UTX30mOPfl

I think I just coded the epitome of a Visual Novel Framework: there's a set of cycling choices (player can keep repeating the choice loop), and it contains a choice that is conditional (appears based on a variable), and within THAT there's another nested choice!! PHEW #gamedev
