Hello, there! My name is Amy, I am a trans game dev, and I specialize in pixel art!
I did most of the art, sprites, and backgrounds for my current game, along with help from a dozen other pixel artists and friends in the fan community. Here is some of my work 💙

Up next in Beihai Bay: Pixel can possess (supported) enemies, modifying their appearance and behavior to change things up in the stage. (Similar to Syntax's "Code Black" in FP2.)

1.5 years of HRT update 💙
- I'm stable now; no more crying fits
- Thighs thicker
- Fat in unexpected places
- Muscles grew back
- More breast growth
While I don't have erectile-dysfunction, (frequent sex) my pp recedes further into the fore skin than before. Is that your experience, trans friends?

The Petal Crash port for Game Boy Color is now at a point where all four score attack modes completely work, and you can play a whole game to its completion and get a results screen. Multiplayer is close to fully working too. There's a lot of work left but the game being fully playable is exciting.

🦊many guys every day are online thinking they're philosophical with armchair thoughts about Nintendo, but actually they're just an unholy combination of Scott the Woz and the kind of guy AVGN is parodying. Everyone knows Nintendo is way overpriced and shady right now, and you can just not engage!

I'm not exactly someone who thinks PS1 texture warping somehow improves the experience of retro gaming per se but I do think being the kind of person who makes a big deal out of it marks one out as, diplomatically, "not the target audience" and undiplomatically as "irritatingly fussy"

This always strikes me as two things converging:
A) Players who were too used to playing PS1 games on emulators before jitter was an option.
B) Players who spent $1,200 on a PC for "better graphics" but misunderstand art as a whole. All they know are AAA game sliders and fugly HD texture packs.

God I hate remaster/remake culture. Losing my mind at how many reviews/comments I've seen that complain about the vertex jitter in the new version of R-Type Delta.
"Wobbly polygons" are part of the charm, aesthetic, and visual identity of PS1 games.
Old games are *supposed to look old*.

20 years later, and Blaze is still my all-time favorite Sonic character. And the character I draw most of all the ones I admire in any series 💜 Happy birthday, Princess
In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

How is it 3 weeks in? Depression from the initial injections have gone away. Sex is more satisfying again. Skin is somehow even softer. My breasts are more sensitive, and both areolas are consistently inflated.
Maybe it's working better than the pills? We'll see with more blood tests in 3 weeks.

HRT Update: After a lot of running around last Friday, (Multiple pharmacies were out of meds!) I got my Estradiol Valerate. Promptly took my first injection the following morning, after reading for an hour.
We'll see how this works over the next six weeks. Sticking yourself is kind of scary.

HRT Update: My chest can finally fill in an A-cup bra, so guess who went shopping last week? ❤️ I smiled the whole evening.
While I had bras before, those were to support my breast forms. Now I have one for the real deals, and it hits different.

Two months after Silksong released, I'm free of the most potent productivity-killing game I ever played! What an enrapturing story and world, but y'all scare me, Team Cherry! 💙💦
This is the hardest game I have ever played. Learning to use claw line during combat was my saving grace near the end.

I'm delighted with DOSBox Pure so far. Setting up a Windows 98 SE VM hasn't been this easy before! 💙
There are some PC games that haven't played nicely with Windows since Win2000. Nor do they have recomps or fan-made patches to preserve them.
It's not nostalgia, I still want to play these games 💙

Things I wished I knew before starting HRT self-injections:
Yes, you really do need to change the injection site every single time, and keep the needle pressed in for 10-15 seconds before pulling it out.
*All* of the estradiol oozed out of the site. I had to wipe it clean and reinject elsewhere 💔

Week 2 of taking HRT injections: I'm mixed on it
Pro: My breast growth might be back on track? (They feel painful to touch again.) And my skin is even more sensitive.
Con: My anxiety gnaws at me when I'm alone at night. Two depressive episodes so far. I hope it subsides, I don't feel like myself 💔

This is the kind of thing we need more of, community spaces on the internet that aren't controlled by corperations.
I have done the impossible. I have created a forum. Self-hosted and self-administered, it's a space to discuss games, your favorite YouTube channel (ahem), and just have a good, chill time in a friendly community.
