After a long time of working on the game on-and-off, it's finally crash landed on Kickstarter!

(edit cuz the post keeps getting bumps!) We successfully funded in Oct 2024! So Violet Core is currently my full time job and things are currently looking good for the planned release in Nov 2025! Progress is going well and I post public updates on the KS every month (and usually here and on my blusky as well) or so if you'd like to follow along :3

the rest of the post is unchanged for archival purposes💜...

Violet Core is a sapphic focused ttrpg about sad space lesbians dueling each other and making out while stranded in space. Drawing inspiration from the absolutely wonderful visual novel Heaven Will Be Mine as well as GunBuster, Zone of the Enders and Knights of Sidonia. It focuses the dramatic tension between friends, rivals and comrades. It's a game whose beating heart is deeply lesbian in a way that is a touch tricky to put into words...its indelibly infused. It's a game preoccupied with a looming horizon of destruction and what we do in the face of calamity.

Wish me luck! And if it looks cool and/or sweet to you, please share it around! My platform is tiny and sucks unlike the game which is huge and rad.

(edit...omg the tags. I'm blown away TT u TT my heart is doing a thing)

Big Pile of Sketches mostly related to Violet Core from that last month and a bit :'3

Kestrel rework!

Ogress rework!

this one is an unfinished take on the Gorgon, it's a bit too much like a transformer though

messing around with the designs a bit more, more boxy and stoic + various 'true face' takes

Asura, Mermaid and Silhouette (probable rename for the Stiletto) sketches

a take on the Siren

I like this super pointy version of the Siren better

(unrelated) designs that I might turn into patches for my vest?

a new take on the Hag, the thought process was 'the game needs a big titty goth girlfriend robot'

some scene thumbnails

They'll have the preview soon.

how soon?

As of typing this, they could have had it yesterday! You could totally play it with them. There is a public kickstarter update that goes over the current state of the game and lists a bunch of the changes and added stuff as well as talking about some of the stuff to look forward too! you can read it here

A crew of villainous queer furries are going to be running a Violet Core stream this month!!! Kos (that kobold you know) is taking the reigns as the Celestial Mistress, guiding her crew of sapphic disaster misfit pilot punks who will confront the repercussions of an ill-fated mission and recovering a lost friend.

(art by Kos)

The stream is scheduled for the 30th of August (2025) 5pm Eastern/2pm Pacific the Digital Villainy Summit (vol.7) is a +18 online event. There is a consent policy that can be viewed on the DVS website for the con as a whole but each event on the timetable has it's own bespoke cws listed.

Their Violet Core stream will be a touch more general and only lists a cw for Fictional Violence!

Heya, if you've been following along with Violet Core's development I just posted a big ass update over on kickstarter! I've made a buncha progress and have been really inspired which has been very energizing and helpin' get some real good work done :'3 You can check out the update post >>> here
