Hi, I'm Cala, a game designer who supports sex workers, furries, accessibility, trans rights, LGBTQIA+, and the right to choose what you do with your body.

I like stories and puns. I play RPG games like FFXIV, Legend of Heroes, and Assassin's Creed.

I also read a lot of web novels.

Lettuce chat.

Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm Dan Mapplethorpe.
I make LUSTY - nsfw fantasy comics and art about a sexy elf adventurer!

lustycomic.com

Lusty and the Big Bad Werewolf - page 42. This comic is about Lusty and her werewolf boyfriend Badru. In this scene, Lusty is wearing a furry bikini top and a collar and leash. Badru tugs on her leash, rubbing the chain links against her pussy, and growls in her ear. Read online at Lustycomic dot com

Lusty and the Mermaid - page 18. This comic is about Lusty and her witch girlfriend Lilya meeting the mermaid Rongo under the sea. In this scene the three women are having sex, with lots of kissing. Read online at Lustycomic dot com.

PriDEMONth 2 - This is a one page comic and a sequel to PriDEMONth (Pride Month is spelled with the letters in the middle of the two words capitalised to spell out DEMON). The comic stars Lusty, Thicc Witch (real name Ho Linh), and Ashmodai the nonbinary demon girl. The three women have sex, including penetrative sex with Ashmodai's cock. Lusty and Thicc Witch are exhausted and filled with cum, but Ashmodai wants to keep going.

Lusty and the Gorgon Queen - A one page comic. Our favourite auburn-haired elf Lusty dance for the Gorgon Queen Smaragda, and gains her eye. The two women have sex, with Queen Smaragda immediately taking a dominant role and tearing off Lusty's outfit. It ends with Lusty's breasts covered in lipstick kisses and her face dripping with pussy juice. She looks very pleased with herself.

Mhm. In part why I'm always making skeets about Village of the Ages. No marketing budget, and if I don't talk about it, who will?

So far, people have enjoyed the game. It's got some bugs, sure, and we'll fix those, but people enjoy it all the same.

In the midst of NextFest - I would like to reiterate... Please help indies that do not have marketing budgets or marketing teams. You are OUR ONLY HOPE!

Reviews (please give feedback if you have it!) even on the demo helps.

Wishlists ALSO make the steam algo pop you up to the top of lists.

Kim Acuff Steiner @emberdione.bsky.social · 1d

Things that cost nothing - but is a HUGE help for any and all indie devs:

Wishlisting - it gives games data to show publishers there is interest.

Leave a Review - ESPECIALLY if you liked the game. Reviews on steam lead to the algo serving you up to others.

Reposting - it's an attention economy.

Eastern Era especially is my cup of tea. The English translation needs some work, but thematically, it is exactly my type of game. It's a cultivation / martial arts game, similar in vibe to Amazing Cultivation Simulator, a game I've got about 1k hours in.

It's been fun to check out the various demos for Next Fest. Especially playtimes. I can speedrun my team's demo in 10 min. I spent about an hour in Skate Story's demo (didn't like it as much as I hoped). I spent 3.8 hours in Eastern Era, a game I hadn't heard about before this.

If you haven't already, adding related words to the block or mute filters in the moderation settings can help avoid accidental exposure.

Cala @calastorylord.bsky.social · 1d

Unfortunate. I know there are plans to make a build for Mac, so you'll have a chance to try it eventually, but I'm not sure on the exact timeline for it.

If you're looking for a game to try when browsing #NextFest demos, I'd love it if y'all took a look at the game my team has been working on, Village of the Ages.

Believe old game devs when we tell you: burnout is real, it's painful. Be honest with yourself, take the breaks when you need them.
I've been burnt out for so long, I only just realized how long. I went from crunch at Iridium into crunch at Giant Squid with no break. About 3 years. It was too long.

Added alt text.

More people need to read and understand this, and know that for all we experience as Americans, It Doesn't Have To Be This Way.

Gender identity and expression:
Since June 2008, qualifying Cubans have been able to have free sex reassignment surgeries under Resolución 126 ("Resolution 126"). The resolution consisted of 11 articles that outlined the ways in which the Cuban Government aimed to improve their treatment of the trans community. Article 5 explicitly states, that the state should provide comprehensive health care to "all transsexual citizens" and it is also relevant to note that "one of the articles contains a glossary that defines various terms associated with health care for transsexual and transgender persons."

As many scholars suggest, the Cuban Government treats trans rights and sex reassignment surgeries as a health issue. Cuba operates under the idea that healthcare is a right to all, allowing trans people access to public health care.

In 1979, the Ministry of Public Health (MIN-SAP) established the Multidisciplinary Commission for Attention to Transsexuals to provide both specialized health care and social services. Mariela Castro Espin describes it: "specialists in the care of transsexual persons, and ... adopted internationally approved diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, which were incorporated as services offered free of charge by the [National Public Health System], along with courses to train sex therapists."

In July 2025, the National Assembly passed a law allowing people to change their gender and surnames in the national civil registry without reassignment surgery. The law also gave legal recognition to common-law marriages.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I'm obviously very biased with this one, as I'm one of the developers for the game and demo, but I will recommend Village of the Ages.

Beyond that, I have my eye on Legend of Khiimori and Tavern Keeper. I'll be trying their demos out soon.

Are you looking for other demos (as in, can I rec one), or just observing the state of things and seeing how it goes?

Cala @calastorylord.bsky.social · 2d

Ooooh, y'all look great. This is a lovely pic.

Cala @calastorylord.bsky.social · 2d

I mean.. if you're just trying to get rid of them, I imagine a driving range might be a route.

Or, just.. the internet? One of the various marketplaces?

ok hear me out, we know that gamer chairs are basically repurposed car seats and that it's much better for your desk posture to use a herman miller (clone) or something similar

but what if we replace car seats inside cars with proper desk chairs too huh, imagine the ergonomic benefits

Adding alt text to what I'm sure is just a description of Portland, and possibly Seattle area.

reluctant friend: puppy dog city is a myth, we should turn back.

grizzled mercenary: it's getting dark, keep moving.

The crop tool symbol is based on this actual physical tool, sometimes called an adjustable enlarging easel. Its a piece of equipment you might find in the dark room of an actual photo shop.

Adding alt text.

Also, per Google Translate, it says this: China requires its influencers to demonstrate education or certifications before discussing professional topics.

The Asian giant imposes limits on influencers: they can only discuss certain topics if they have formal training.
