I haven't really thought about the logistics of having a girlfriend

Couple of character designs originally planned for stage 3 of my mggj12 submission, which I unfortunately ran out of time to finish. Perhaps in a post-jam update maybe? For now though, the first two stages are playable here I guess: apho.itch.io/snaky-shooting

Welp, submitted my game to #MGGJ12. Not quite as complete as I'd have liked, with only the first two stages playable for now, but it's something I guess.

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

deckbuilder alignment chart or something

A deckbuilder alignment chart, which classifies games based on definitions of "deck" and "builder".

Deck Purist: A deck must be a stack of cards from which said cards are drawn
Deck Neutral: A deck must contain cards
Deck Rebel: A deck must contain stuff

Builder Purist: A builder must require players to update builds as the run progresses
Builder Neutral: A builder must require players to make builds
Builder Rebel: Builds? What's that?

Hardline Traditionalists: Yi Xian, One Step from Eden, and Night of Fullmoon are deckbuilders
Deck Purist, Builder Neutral: 100% Orange Juice and Touhou Hisoutensoku are deckbuilders
Deck Purist, Builder Rebel: Poker cards are a deckbuilder
Deck Neutral, Builder Purist: Gacha Hell is a deckbuilder
True Neutral: Alice's Awakening is a deckbuilder
Deck Neutral, Builder Rebel: Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil is a deckbuilder
Deck Rebel, Builder Purist: Dream Magic Heroes is a deckbuilder
Deck Rebel, Builder Neutral: Heroes of the Seasons, Ascentower 2, and Tengoku 3.3: 無給人～ Café Maid in Heaven are deckbuilders
Radical Deckbuilder Anarchy: Christmas Cat-astrophe is a deckbuilder

In compliance with visa/mastercard's vague new terms of service that forbid anything "animal-related", guess I'm gonna have to change all my bosses to [REDACTED] lmao

Apho @apho.itch.io · Jul 28

yeah, no, this just looks like a non-apology and manipulative victim blaming. itch was forced to take immediate actions or risk the livelihoods of its users while under duress because of collective shout, so i'd still say collective shout is responsible.

As you may have heard, thousands of NSFW games have been removed without warning from multiple platforms over the past few days. This sets a troubling precedent for the future of games.

Apparently twitter now thinks i'm a bot, because the past 4 years i've spent "engaging with my timeline" and "connecting with others" don't count for anything anymore... thank you twitter, very cool.

A pop up from twitter accusing me of not being a human.

Apho @apho.itch.io · Jul 25

it ain't just nsfw games; quite a few sfw games were affected as well. as something of a dev myself, that's concerning.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

With post-game, however, I'm designing around built characters and knowing the game, especially for the later bosses, which should give players a worthy challenge!
