Genuinely think I have peaked with these two designs... Not sure if it'll ever get better than this
skeb.
I don't care about making money; I just want to be seen. I want to create without fear. I've hardly made progress on anything since the deindexing because it is so difficult to find motivation to. My art is the only thing I have. Is asking for a single answer in 200 days that outlandish???
Both games have been posted about on itchio's xitter account! And then they deindex them without warning, reason, or response to a single email? What do you want from me!!! What do you want me to do!!! How much longer am I going to be ignored?

Day 200 of being deindexed without any sort of response. How many more emails do I have to send to be heard? How many forum posts do I have to make? How much longer do I have to wait? The games are entirely free. They do not feature any content that would break TOS. In what world is this acceptable?

I was so foolishly naรฏve.
A closeup of the anxious man in the previous screenshot.
i need him to stop staring at me like that
A screenshot of a canvas in clip studio paint. Two characters stand waist up on a grey background. On the left is a man with long, messy purple hair that reaches his hips. He wears a tattered black and red scarf, and a dark green coat with bright red buttons. He wears fingerless gloves and white pants. He looks to the camera with an anxious, shark-toothed smile. He's tugging at his scarf with his left hand while his red is held half-up, uncertain. Little doodles float around him, depicting flowers, tears, a teddy bear, a button, and stitches. On the right is a boy with black messy hair and bright teal eyes. He clutches his left shoulder protectively, smiling, but appearing tired. He wears a hospital gown. Surrounding him are doodles of an error screen, a mouse cursor, fireworks, a cross, a butterfly, and a broken egg.
it's 4 am...

fun fact: i used the wrong lineart brush for this cg. thankfully this is the last cg that needs lots of edits/fixes for the update... (I'll get it out eventually I swear)
evolution..... #ToMyDarling_vn
so often i come up with ideas for writing as i try to sleep, and then it keeps me up...... but then when morning comes, i can hardly get a word down. such is life........... x_x
the fact that i can't draw, write, and sleep all at once is criminal....... i just want to create.......
I'll never get over how stunning this is ;w; Thank you so much for your hard work!!! ๐ซถ
Promo art I drew of Nikki from To My Darling: Rewritten
Thank you @ixkyu.bsky.social for the opportunity!
Go check the game out :D
#visualnovel
To My Darling's default price was $3.05 (30/5, May 30) while Rewritten was $4.14 (4/14, April 14). Genuinely one of my favorite little details that no longer exists.....
if they do end up reindexing the games, maybe i can add them back??? Who knows... @-@
One of the sadder things about the de-indexing (still haven't responded to my emails haha...) is that because itchio has been weird with payment, I took off the "pay what you want" feature on both games...
But the default payment prices were little easter eggs ;w; both being Mimiko/Kin's birthdays
sometimes people ask me (particularly irl) what my biggest inspiration is for storytelling.... and i struggle to tell them that it's the bird dating sim. but that game has genuinely changed my life and continues to inspire me ;w; i need to draw some characters eventually aaaa ;w;
stayed up until 6am replaying hatoful boyfriend holiday star (again)... i think everyone should play hatoful boyfriend. i don't know how many games have reduced me to tears like that series has.

Happy two-year anniversary to "To My Darling" ๐

Trans Joy Jam a game jam about creating a brighter future
Creating a better future starts with imagining that one can exist โ and to work towards that, Trans Joy Jam is returning this year! ๐
Make a game or piece of media dedicated to trans or gender-queer joy. Sign up here: itch.io/jam/trans-jo...
a sketch drawing of two characters on a grey background. One is colored in primarily blue while the other is colored in primarily pink. The blue girl is holding the small pink girl in one hand. In Blue Girl's other hand is a can of pest spray. She looks down at the Pink Girl with disgust on her face. Her hair is messy, and she wears a baggy hoodie. The Pink Girl has abnormally large and fluffy hair. She looks up at the Blue Girl with a smile and hearts swirling around her. She holds her hands together in excitement. The art style is vageuly reminiscent of the "moe" art style.
7 - Do you ship your OCs with anyone else's?
Something like that.......
For example, Kin's writing in TMD Rewritten was heavily inspired by Kairiki Bear's "Darling Dance"!!
My spotify is full to the brim with OC playlists, which I'd usually listen to as I write scripts... I recently canceled my premium though, so I need to rebuild those playlists elsewhere ;w;"
