PERKS OF THE JOB: TALES FROM THE WASTELAND


PERKS OF THE JOB: TALES FROM THE WASTELAND is a pair of pornographic stories written by my friend Anna Anthropy and myself about the "Cherchez la Femme" and "Confirmed Bachelor" perks in Fallout: New Vegas. Anna is hosting them on her site, so follow the link to check them out! These stories do contain violence, so be careful if you're sensitive to that.

I really enjoy writing fanfiction, and although I don't post about it on here, I do produce a lot of it on my fanfic tag on tumblr (or mirrored on my Archive of Our Own account). I actually started taking fanfic commissions today at a reasonable price ($10 per 1000 words), so if you're interested, check out that post!

Sex Cops of Tickle City & Magfest

Here's an illustration I made for my good friend Anna Anthropy and her new game, Sex Cops of Tickle City! It's a dirty text game which is pretty much what it sounds like. I also playtested the game and provided some feedback! It's really good so if you're into femdom and tickling you should definitely give it a look.

I don't think I've mentioned it on here yet (this blog is mostly dedicated to original work), but I'm also working on some video game related arts and crafts for Magfest! It's a convention being held in National Harbor, MD from January 5-8. I'll be selling stickers, masks, bookmarks, fine art prints, and I'll be taking commissions for illustrations, so please feel free to stop by my table!

Game: Starlight Club (Demo)




For Klik of the Month Klub (a 2-hour game jam on the second Sat. of every month) I sat down and burned through part of this hostess club game I’m making! 
I was looking at information for Cinderellife, Level-5's new hostess club RPG where the hostesses interview anime characters, and I was like, well, there should be a game that's a lot like this, except instead of making small talk you peg the guys. Pegging, specifically, because I like the idea of men going to a club that puts control in the hands of the ladies who entertain them, you know? So I wrote the hostess herself (whom you can name, but whose default name is Jessica) to be pretty aggressive, even when she's ostensibly being "demure."
Anyway, there’s no art yet, but there is a lecherous doctor that you can entertain--or not entertain, if you don't think he's deserved it. The full game will have three clients instead of one, so go ahead and give it a go. I’ll probably end up rewriting some of this, but hopefully you guys will enjoy it!
Play the demo of Starlight Club here! If it weren't obvious from the description, this is a pornographic game, so if that's not your thing, don't click. A bunch of other talented folks also made some really great games, so you can check those out here too!

Matryoshka More


I really wanted to do a Halloween picture but I've been HELLA BUSY so instead I sketched Bob Sparker in a formalwear version of his costume from "Matryoshka." This raises the question of whether I should refer to him as "Bob Sparker wearing a formalwear version of his Matryoshka costume" or "the character from Matryoshka, in formalwear." My thought process is the former, but I don't want the actor to overshadow the character, you know?

In any case, I've been considering doing more with Matryoshka--expanding it a little, continuing it and turning it into basically a different story, because I have some ideas for it. I'm wary of, like, invalidating peoples' interpretations of the ending and what actually happens to the girl, but I guess there's no harm in writing it anyway, since the original story functions well as a standalone piece. My hope is that people will cherrypick and interpret it how they like.

Also wow I should probably change the title away from "Matryoshka," even if I was listening to it non-stop.

THE IGF PIRATE KART & a few more of my games

So you might have heard about the IGF Pirate Kart!


It's a compilation of 300 tiny games made by people JUST LIKE YOU AND ME, collected into one huge package for the Independent Gaming Festival. I actually submitted two of my games to it: My Secret Boyfriend and Give Yourself Klikbumps! The first one is a short creepy horror story about a fun time with your boyfriend, and the second one is a campy Halloween tale for PLAYERS OF ALL AGES. They were both made in the visual game engine Ren'Py, which I have a lot of fondness for.

My Secret Boyfriend was actually mentioned briefly on Kotaku today in a post about the Pirate Kart, which makes me really happy! I'm glad people are enjoying it, and I definitely wanted to devote a post to the Pirate Kart (and to my games in general). Here are some other games I've made:

TRAGEDY STRIKES



OH NO I was busy inking this great picture of Bob Sparker and like a dummy I left a wet umbrella on top of it. I was really happy with how it was going, too. I scanned it, so I'll bite the bullet and either a) redo the whole thing on the computer, or maybe just b) paint over the bad parts and re-ink them. Life is hard.

Here's Mike being an asshole about it
