Not gonna tag this as anything, but lately I've been having some fears about this new game I'm working on; Veins Like Tapeworms popped off so well for a lot of people, so now I'm kind of worried about living up to that same potential. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder, y'know?

You ever just get so fed up with programming you start doing shitty MS Paint mockups of actual CGs just so you don't have to stare at the engine 24/7?

I'm gonna announce this new project soon, I swear, I just want to at least get the script for Act 1 fully done. I'm still debating if I want to make Act 1 alone the demo or make it Act 1 & 2, but for now it's just words on the doc and some very rough assets.

Uh. 80% done now. Sorry.

"It's just gonna be a short little point-n-click experience," I say as I get the idea for my next game. "Won't be more than 14k words total!"

Yeah uh. I'm maybe halfway done with Act 1 out of 5 right now. My bad.

Not ready to go too in-depth about this new project just yet, but I've been working on something behind the scenes for a few weeks now 👀 Can't wait to tell you more about it when I get something substantial!

The writing in this game easily goes toe to toe with my fave VN, Slay The Princess. It's dark, brooding, and the horror is deeply uncomfortable as Demian tries to navigate their life. This game is a beautiful piece of literature that deserves to become a classic. Literal 10/10 game, no notes.

Hey, how come no one ever talks about Godot's assistant, Guillermo M. Acchiato? I thought their dynamic with Godot was really fun, and I'm glad they were there to explain where he got the coffee during a trial.

Meet my new #aceattorney OC, a genius artisan barista on a liquid diet!

from that one meme
#VLT #veinsliketapeworms #comic
redraw of the comic by cutbu: Demian and Miriam from the VN Veins Like Tapeworms stand in a white space. Miriam begins to say: "I..." then "I...I...!" then Demian starts to continue the alphabet. "...J, K, L, M, N, O, P..." Demian looks at Miriam, "Q, R, S, T, U, V..." Miriam smiles at Demian and continues. "W, X, Y, and Z." Followed by a panel of the two of them holding hands and floating in the air with flower petals. at the bottom, we see it's just a dream of Miriam's, embarrassed and sweating nervously while the real Demian is picking up a container of instant noodles from the shelf.

fanart of Demian from VLT (Veins Like Tapeworms). They sit in a heavily edited photo of a bathtub with bubbles. Several png items are included, some with bad jpeg artifacting including a back scrubber, a rubber ducky and a bottle of Mr. Bubble Bubble Bath. Text says BATH Time ^u^ (About the crash tf out) Demian looks less than pleased about being fully clothed in a tub. (They are pissed)

rough digital sketch of a hand plucking a flower petal. It's petals fall and it soon becomes dead and limp. At the bottom, a lone child cries helplessly.

#VLT #veinsliketapeworms #fanart #visualnovel #comic
A fan comic for VLT (Veins Like Tapeworms). An arm is waving from around the corner to another room. Their disembodied voice says: "Hey xxx(their deadname is crossed out). All ready for school? That's my xxx (agab censored), always a go getter." Demian looks distraught, eyes wide: "That's not how he talks to me. That's not him. That's not him. Who are you? Why? Why are you using his voice? He's never said those words to me. Never." Their "father" continues: "But xxx, isn't this what you've always wanted? You want him to love you, right? Don't you think you should be grateful?" Continuing, now with Demian standing looking ahead at their "father"'s arm. "Father": No, you could never really be happy, could you? You're such a parasite. Don't make me laugh. Love? is that what you want? Love? (written in red). And what makes you think you deserve something like that? Are you crazy? Things like you don't get to feel wants. You're nothing but a burden. Longing for someone who was never really there in the first place." Now missing from the ever darkening room in the distance, their "father" continues: "It's fitting, isn't it? You've always wanted to be left alone." (written in red): "So, why aren't you happy?" Demian is drawn squeezing their eyes shut, face wrinkled, contorted in sorrow as they sob hard. Lots of tears and snot drip from their reddened face, hurt and lonely. And angry.
