I don’t know if I have any better answer than what my friend said, “a tumblr sexyman is a well dressed thin guy who may or may not be human but he’s also a little pathetic” - is the millennial equivalent a scene kid? 🤔

Good job! There’s some references to LGBTQ+ history/figures in two of the questions, so I’m happy you got those.
As for the birthday suit question… [spoilers]
…I think it takes a discerning adult to know when and when not to show up naked to a party. (That and, I wanted to draw a rabbit celebrating a birthday)
1. Non-serious answer: as many tries as you feel like you need to F.F.A.R.T. -- Serious answer: it usually takes most people around 10 tries to complete it.
2. Nothing interesting in the washrooms besides a toilet...if they'd actually let you in there without an ID.
3. I am very curious about what art you'd like added! It's my first time getting a request from someone.
I am so, so thankful for all the work you’ve done. You helped me with my first sales of Terranova. I can say that without a doubt, the game would not have reached the people it did had it not been for you.
I started organizing bundles for 18+, kinky queer work after seeing what organizing could do.
I am so grateful to have been a part of this community. Thank you, thank you.
To the game developer,
I am so proud of you! I played through the entire game and won, but it was VERY challenging and VERY fun. Making a game that is fun is very hard, I think. So you did a great job.
My favorite level: the doppelganger level.
Sending you lots of love and I hope I get to play another when you are inspired!

Normally, this wouldn't be so, but @mabbees has implemented some black magic sorcery in the form of spritesheet tricks.
He just put up a devlog about it here: https://mabbees.neocities.org/posts/018-spritesheet-tricks/
I replayed this multiple times just so I could leave the MC on a happy ending. Because he deserved a happy ending. I wasn’t disappointed.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
The emotional honesty snuck up on me - I grew up in a feminist household, prided myself on being a feminist and recently have been (disappointed? confused? exhausted?) with the way people I respect and care about have used the empowering women as a thin veil to cover their own unaddressed gender essentialism.
On a brighter note, Xinyu calling himself “old” made me chuckle. Don’t call me out like that!
Read it on your blog but I figured I’d comment here.
It’s really easy to compare to other people who might be more well-resourced, both in time and mental energy, but I think you did really well.
To reframe, in a week’s time, no signal made what Terranova made in its first year. It made more than most indie games do on Steam in their lifetime.
I think this was a solid release! I’m looking forward to you keeping the momentum.
I'm sorry about that. Let me see if I can help troubleshoot.
- What's your operating system and version (Windows/Mac/Linux)?
- Did you download it through the itch.io app or directly from the web?
- Do you have a copy of the error message I can check out?
