Been experimenting with different things recently because I've been doing disco Elysium related things and I thought I'd mess around with the painterly style so here's a test hehe

āYāknowā¦ Character B and I are pretty close.ā āOh, yeah?ā āYeah.ā
āYou wouldnāt get it, itās an inside joke.ā
āCharacter B and I go way back.ā
When the Pick Me sees Character A somewhere they least expect it: āOh! I didnāt know you were into this kinda stuff. Usually itās just an us thing.ā (Referring to Character B and themselves)
^^^ āCharacter B invited me.ā :)
āHey bestie!~ Yup! Weāre best friends now.ā
āThatās a lot of make up. I heard it isnāt good for your skinā¦ā
āThis sweater? Well, Character B let me keep it. I just wear their clothes all the time.ā
āWhat do you mean you donāt know [obscure band name]?!ā
^^^Alternatively theyāll interrogate Character A about the topic if they do know
āI donāt think we ever introduced each other, hi Iām Character C. I donāt expect you to get to know us all, most people just leave our group within the first month lol.ā
āPeople think Character B and I are dating alllll the time itās literally so annoying.ā
When Character C is kicking or playing footsie with Character Aās love interest under the table
āWe like a little roughhousing sometimes so letās see how you handle that.ā
Sitting on Character Bās lap solely to annoy Character A
āYou probably donāt wanna get your pretty nails broken do you?ā
āCāmon Character B, this isnāt like you. Youāre seriously going to hang out with them over us??ā
āWe text all the timeš¤ā
āYouāre close with them? Thatās weird they never really mentioned you.ā
āNo seriously, youāre so brave for looking like that I could never.ā
āActually Character B prefers naturally darker/lighter hair haha.ā
āOmg Character B!~ I think I lost weight oh noā could you look at my waist to see a difference?ā
āSoā¦ how did you get Character Bās number?ā āThey asked.ā
āSure, you can be invited. But just so you know we party and drink all night. Are you sure you can handle that?ā
āTell me about magic,ā I said to the god wearing my friendās corpse.
It (I would not grant it the honor of using her name) smiled at me the way she used to smile. It looked like shit, by the way, streaked with mud and blood and slowly spinning new flesh from atmospheric carbon to patch up the bullet holes our latest acquaintances had left it.
āI know every word in your human languages and none of them suffice. How would you explain a black holeās accretion disk to a fish?ā
āI donāt know. Try.ā I didnāt bother voicing the threat but it was implicit, as it was in all of our conversations: your kind has died only once before, but it was at the hands of mine.
It sighed with the weariness of a parent about to talk down to a kid, but it signed up for this when it trapped itself on this rock with me. āItās a puzzle thatās almost been solved since forever began, a puzzle of infinite complexity worked on by the million sharpest minds to ever be, all themselves fractured into dizzying arrays of subminds in temporally upspun pocket universes, all striving to refine those secret arts of law and mastery. Itās cooperation and competition, vines of knowledge strangling each other as we reach ever upwards towards the sun, clawing at each other in our desperate want. Itās a science. Itās like breathing. Itās like love.ā
āI distinctly recall you saying that love is an idiocy reserved for us mortals, and a more efficient chemically-induced blindness than sodium hydroxide too.ā
āAnd I maintain that stance, but it gets the point across, does it not?ā It huffed with exasperation, you know, the way that she had a thousand times when we were young. An affectation? Or a bit of humanity bleeding into the monster?
āMhm. Sure.ā
It side-eyed me but kept talking. āYou donāt have the point of view it would take to truly understand magic. You never will. Even if you saw the world the way I did, you wouldnāt have the context or the time to decipher it. For you it can never be a science, only ever an art.ā
āYou say that like itās a bad thing.ā
āIn truth I envied you. With infinity at oneās proverbial fingertips, what else is there to do? The greatest possible workings have all been deduced, those most absolute and inviolable inflictions of the will upon the cosmos, and all that remains to study are the fleeting shadows of concepts beyond even us. But you humans, you tread on new ground that weāve long since mastered, internalized, and then forgotten. The best you can manage without literally blowing your own minds is a little teleportation. Youāre clueless and flawed and you fuck it all up whenever you get the chance. And I envied you.ā For a creature enamored with paradox, the idea of a god envying a mortal sure pained it.
āSo you cut it all free, cast off the godhead, and came down from on high to slum it with we mortals. I bet youāre regretting that now,ā I said, sticking my finger in the last bullet hole and giving it an experimental wiggle. It winced, but the wound closed up like it had never been as I withdrew my finger. Pain is a just a signal, it was always fond of saying. But it still cried whenever it lost a limb.
āNot in the slightest,ā said the once-god wearing my friendās corpse. āThis is the most alive Iāve felt in eons.ā

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?
To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:
SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!
Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it):
THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further
āØPros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles!
āØCons: None really <3
Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup
Twine:
Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want)
āØPros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch)
āØCons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain.
Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity
Bitsy:
Little topdown games!
āØPros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small!
āØCons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing!
Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty
RPGMaker:
To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!!
NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post.
āØPros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here!
āØCons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale!
Some games to look at: Yume Nikki, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)
engine.lol:
collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden!
NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?
āØmore advice under the cut. this is Long okāØ
ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :
Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!
GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!
Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!
BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!
-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!
-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff.
So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.
-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can evenā¦ Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.
-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.
-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!
I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye
