Giveaway: Enter to Win the ‘Life Is Strange’ Season Pass

We recently broke 2,000 followers on Tumblr, 1,600 on Twitter, and 100 subscribers on YouTube. Not too shabby for a new gaming space, eh? To celebrate welcoming so many new friends to our humble little abode over here, we’d like to offer you the opportunity to join us in our constant trash-worthy squeeing (hence, the image above). This is your chance to win the Life Is Strange season pass! If you haven’t played the game yet and want to know what we’ve raving about all the time, here’s your chance—and it’s totally free to enter. Hella cool, right? ✌

Now is the perfect time for you (or someone you know!) to be introduced to all the shit going down in Arcadia Bay. Dontnod Entertainment has been consistently delivering incredible gameplay that we just can’t get enough of. Whether we’re identifying with certain characters, celebrating queer representation, or even taking the time out to critically analyze a few missteps, Life Is Strange has been keeping us up at night since it dropped.

As the latest and, sadly, last installment in this particular series is allegedly slated for sometime in September, you still have time to catch up before then! Keep moving after the jump for our giveaway guidelines if you want to win five episodes of a hipster game.

Important news for VN developers and fans who are attending AnimeFest in Dallas, TX.

Devs: Previously, I posted that AnimeFest had indicated that they want to help promote visual novels and developers at their convention this year. One of their events is a “visual novel showcase” panel where devs will get a chance to show off recently released or upcoming games. Any devs with a trailer for a VN they want to promote are welcome to join. Note this is an all-ages panel, so no 18+ games. Devs who will be attending AnimeFest will receive priority, as it would be way cooler if you could present your VN in person. Email me at soymilk.pudding@gmail.com (deadline: August 31).

Players: For those of you who prefer playing over making, we’ve got a table in Artist’s Alley this year (not the dealer’s room as in previous years), and we’ll be selling VNs and giving away free art cards as usual. Also be sure to stop by our Visual Novel Showcase panel to get a sneak peek at upcoming games, pick up some free swag, and win fun prizes.

Future Devs: Come to our Making Visual Novels panel! We’ll talk about making visual novels! (Duh.) It’ll be fun.

NSFW because you’re not allowed to cry at work.

Rethinking our villains

The past weeks or so, I’ve been working on improving the antagonist’s backstory, their plot, motives, and means. The result is much more simple than what I’ve had before, but also much more relateable for the reader. In addition, I’ve also added another villain to the story, who will expand upon the setting, and add a moral grayness to the conflict that was not possible with the other villain. I really think readers will like them a lot. I can’t write too much in this post, since I shouldn’t spoil. But there are multiple villains in Bells, and each of them have their own agendas, which they are trying to fulfill. Fans of Lovecraft should keep an eye out for hints about this new villain I’ve added to the story.

Pixel Brush

Hey guys! A lot of you are asking about my recent textures and how to do them. I’m normally a cardboard-photo-texture-set-to-overlay-on-a-layer-above-your-drawing kinda gal, but lately I’ve been messing around with new grittier stuff.

so here’s my hard pixel airbrush made in photoshop. It’s super fun.

(THE FULL IMAGE SIZE IS HERE. USE THAT)

Load the image in photoshop. Select the whole canvas and go to Edit> Define Brush Preset. Select this brush from your brush menu.

Now go to brush settings and use these settings:

I would just upload the brush file itself but I don’t know how to do that. I ain’t a wizard. I don’t know how all the world works! Whatever! Learn how to make brushes yourself!! It’s very useful!

This brush is best used in high resolution (always work in high res!) It looks like soft grit when zoomed out, but when you get up close, you can see all the hard pixels.

As promised, we’re doing a big giveaway at the moment with a sharing contest and a fanart contest to get cool merchandise for free!

Those contests are open to everyone, and you can enter both at the same time too. So don’t be shy and try your luck ;).

Having some of those myself, I can say they are super cool, go get them!

They are more than super cool! They did a great job, these are top-notch goodies!

You guys are unbelivable XD. But I really appreciate the intent, thanks a lot !

Cyber harassment study reveals the unsurprising!

It still amazes me that I talk to guys who still think they get harassed just as much as women online. Like even from people who aren’t clearly and totally gross dumbasses. It kinda makes me think that, even in the best cases, it might be hard to really understand the sheer difference in frequency. You see a woman get harassed on a game and you go “Oh well I’ve been harassed” without understanding that there is seldom a session for her where that doesn’t happen or understanding what her inbox might look like…

Hey, we’ll be giving away these lovely goodies this weekend ! As well as hard copies of our visual novel. Interested :) ? Let us know!

(Look at those posters, aren’t they gorgeous? And that music album is nice too. I know you want them. You want them, right?)

Omg merchandise

Yep, those are some remaining merchandises from a convention we attended this summer. And if you’re lucky, they’ll be all yours ;).
