I once said transgender in a youtube comment, and it was hidden from everyone else but me and the person whose video it was.

Sure! 🐈 The game runs on a Quake sourceport called FTEQW. It's a pretty cool engine! For the levels I've been using NetRadiant-custom. I've gotten fast with it over the years, so I prefer it over TrenchBroom. Thanks for asking :3

Informed consent is how it should be done everywhere. No gatekeeping.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

More progress on MeowGun's E3L5: Alien Mothership.💪

The pieces are starting to fit together and look like internal areas of a spaceship. The engine room looks pretty cool and hot. There's also a neat zero gravity "lift" at the center of the ship connecting various areas.

A view to the hangar from the zero gravity "lift".

Hot looking engine room with an energy beam connecting to the engine.

A view to the engine exhaust from outside the ship. It may be a little broken...

That LGBTQ+ radiation was in part why I became a silly lesbian trans woman, thanks Meowgun

MeowGun made me queer* due to its LGBTQ+ radiation and you should play it.

(*okay so I was already queer and gender was a fuck, but this game lets you kill 410,757,864,530 demons and has a tight as fuck Doom/Quake/Zortch vibe, it's fun as hell, give it a try!)

I was helping and meowing in the background a bit :3 🐈 This turned out pretty cool!

Ocha-! @teahouseocha.bsky.social · 16d

I am extremely normal and got an impulse to dig up my gamecube, F-Zero GX, an extra crusty scart to hdmi converter-

and spent the entire day making _this_ on a bitcrunched 240p resolution screen. You know, instead of doing anything I had scheduled.

I call it
the GENDER CLAW 🏳️‍⚧️ 😺

Working on the last few levels of MeowGun. This one is E3L5: Alien Mothership.

MeowMeow has just casually parked her spaceship inside the hangar bay and she's ready to wreck house. Aiming for a very futuristic look here. Also made some more QuakeCute vehicles with the level editor 🐈

Had fun playing a hard/dark side run of Jedi Knight 1 with @teahouseocha.bsky.social until this final boss Jerec (Jerk). I was having trouble trying to defeat him with just the lightsaber until Ocha reached further into the dark side and came up with this method: Force Sequencer Charges x15 💣

MeowGun is 24% off during the Steam Autumn sale too!

It's a cool shooty game where you're a catgirl who fights against tyranny and you can meow a lot. 🐈

If you want to upload lengthier videos with decent quality and file size, I recommend trying out an open source compression tool called HandBrake. It has helped out a _ton_ with posting gamedev stuff and such here. It's pretty powerful - you can get things even under 10mb at ok-ish quality. 🐈

Added a critical missing feature to MeowGun:
Being able to pet cats. (Robot cats, it counts!)

Summon them with yummy taiyaki, they come to boop enemies and boost morale (health) for a while.🐈

The green player (my gf) is terribly allergic to them, so she's struggling a bit. Hang in there.🙏

About to take some rockets in the face 🫠

This level sure turned out fair and balanced! 😇
(It's MeowGun's hardest secret level, partially inspired by Plutonia's Go 2 It, so you can imagine the kind of gameplay this one has.)

Here's a demo reel of some upcoming music in MeowGun: Hell Denizen! Total 14 tracks for levels in the game (9 in the vid) 💿 🎶

Made some new ones and dug up a lot from my old music archives and updated 'em for game use. I feel they turned out great, so give them a listen if you can! 🐈

MeowGun's player character, MeowMeow, got a new cuter look! :3 @teahouseocha.bsky.social sketched a new design and I promptly decided we're doing that. She also did the face textures and expressions! Turned out great 💖

New version coming up soon with this and much more!
