LIDVN (Large Inter-Dimensional Visual Novel) will have a selection of animated visual novels per layer, with room to expand into new layers. I went with a surreal, digital papercut style that employs lots of collage. It'll be a home for all my stories, with interactive lead-ins and lots of choice.

You ever think about how a lot of really cool paintings are basically cheesy political newspaper cartoons that are just too stylized to ever be looked at like that?

Well hidden underneath a gigantic pile of slop, you might encounter The House Before during Steam Next Fest. If you come across it, maybe try the demo? Or give it a wishlist? Or dig deeper into the slop in search of trash an treasures. Up to you! #gamedev #indiegames #steamnextfest

Goddamit I LOVE seeing real human art on my timeline. More of that please.

May game is in Next Fest!😊🙌🏼 store.steampowered.c...

Dear artists: Sorry for the 50 notifications. When I see an art I like, I am honor bound to stalk your media tab for at least 20 minutes liking things.

Feel like I should be posting more about the upcoming Forbidden Solitaire DLC. So here's a screenshot! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/...

Funerama is beautifully unsettling. Play it here: thibault-rivera.itch.io/funerama

i know a lot of people have chosen to leave the poison swamp that inflicts constant tick damage but since the Plague Baron stopped casting Rain of Putrefaction so often its gotten way better. plus all of the important conversations about rot and pestilence are happening there

Happy #internationallesbianday 🧡🤍🩷

My son actually showed me one of the techniques I use most frequently in my art. We were playing around with gamma values in Procreate together and he did something I never thought of: crossing the lines. It made an effect I've called gamma-fry ever since. This was the first one. #LIDVN #artfamily

Idk if I'll ever forget the time I went to Ulta to pick up some black liquid lipstick and the cashiers just stared at me and said, "What's... That for?" And looked at me dubiously like I wouldn't know how to use it. Goth since 2002, idk ladies

Dreamed I went to the most insane indie dev con... I could see people's UI floating in the air and everyone's trailers were going nonstop on a drive-in theater screen

It dawns on me that now that I have a laser cutter, even tho I can't do clear acrylic, there are still other Star Trek replicas I can make with other acrylic materials, especially when it will also be painted: Running today:
