I’ve been reading your comics for the past few days and seriously enjoying them. The story you’ve crafted is compelling, complex, and complicated, making it incredibly fun to chew on. I’m a big fan of Liam and Niko’s push-and-pull relationship, with all the conflict and tension that comes from being werewolf and vampire, and also themselves. There are so many emotions between whatever they have going on, the UST is through the roof. 

The other characters are all interesting in their own right, too. Bug is a true ride-or-die friend, and I was fascinated by Lucia and Kaspar’s codependent relationship with Niko (which makes me wonder how sustainable it is long-term). I’m also looking forward to seeing more of Mr. Gallo and Kat, from what you’ve shown of them! Hopefully I’m not missing anyone else… Seeing Liam and Niko interact with others in their orbit was both fun and enriching to their characters. 

Not to mention, your art perfectly complements the story—I love the variety in character designs (everyone is a fashion icon FR) and the intense expressions they make. Whenever Liam goes like >:( or >:) or maybe even >:D, I go like :) 

I also liked the use of black inks, dramatic shadows, and red blood for impact—and also the texture effect in the backgrounds. It creates this rough, gritty atmosphere that works great with the darkness of the world. I’ve never been to LA but got a strong sense of place from your comic, which made the characters feel situated and alive. Also, everything just looks really cool! 

Of course, I can’t not comment on the NSFW scenes, which were a delicious combination of gore and porn and quite possibly rewired my brain. My eyes were opened to the possibilities of gorn. Each moment adds to the violent, erotic dynamic between Liam and Niko, creating danger but also thrill. Not to mention, the sex highlights their inhuman aspects in the best ways, making the reader reckon with the fact that they’re creatures of the night. 

Awash in Blood hit hard. I read it, then reread it, and enjoyed the second reading even more. Thank you for making this! 

Thank you for your kind words! Sol and Chet are going to live happily ever after. I hope you had fun playing and especially making a video about it! 

Totally.

I enjoyed the main character’s narrative voice, which made him really feel like a cynical college student. There was an interesting push and pull between him and Lucas, and I could see how Reito was both drawn to and disturbed by him. I would’ve loved to see more choices to flesh out the cause and effects of Reito’s actions, but overall, this was a neat game!

Everyone really is, and I love them for it. Thank you for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed! 

This was an intriguing and fun game! I enjoyed the mystery of the story, as well as how the different endings tied together. The CGs and backgrounds were beautifully done as well, with my favourite being the Mask Room.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m touched to hear that the story moved you :’) 

Hey! There are lots of great LGBTQ+ games on Itch, and I'm happy to share the ones that have stuck with me. They're all visual novels because I'm a VN fan, haha.

• AFTER SCHOOL - a slice of life, coming of age story
• Heaven Will Be Mine - queer science fiction mecha pilots
• Starry Flowers - two witch boys falling in love
• Good Lord! Everyone at the Reunion For My Religious All-Girls School Is a Trans Man... And They're Hot?! - the title says it all

Yaoi Game Jam and Trans Representation Jam are recent jams with LGBTQ+ games as well. Yuri Game Jam is happening in October.

All of my games are LGBTQ+ too, and I recently released Ambition Plot 2 about wicked gay office workers having an affair. If you end up playing, let me know your thoughts!

Hope you find something you like!

Thank you! Evil concerns me too…

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m always glad to hear that you enjoyed the Evil games. I want Evil to be happy too, but it might be a while yet :”D 

Thank you also for your comment on the Ambition Plot sequel devlog! I never got to reply, but I really appreciated your encouragement. Hope you’ll enjoy the game when it’s out!

Thank you! Don’t let HartEvil sink, they’re still the best office workers 🥺 I’m glad you like EvilZoomer too, though :D

Thank you! The O2A2s keep on happening, and I’m glad to hear this is your favourite one yet! Who knows when they’ll get their happy low life… 

That's an odd issue, thanks for letting me know! It might be that the version of Ren'py used to make this game is outdated on newer OS. I've tried re-building the game through Ren'py 8.2, so hopefully it'll be more compatible with Windows 11. 

The new build is MenageaTrois-1.3-PC.zip. Let me know if it works!

Hi! I'd love to try playing this game, but I'm on a Mac and can't seem to run the file :') It's an .exe currently, but Ren'Py should allow for Mac exports too!

Thank you for the feedback; I'm sorry you didn't fully enjoy the game, but I'm glad you took the time to play to the end regardless! I actually set out to write a hate/sexual relationship, although it certainly has potential to become hate/love in the future.

Your comment made me think about Sol and Chet, and then I got all nostalgic for them... They're really so cute :')

I'm glad you liked the UI! The design is one of my favourites of all the games I worked on. If I remember correctly, it took me a while to align the notepaper with the text, haha. Thank you for playing!

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the writing and character relationships, Evil is at least more successful here than he was in Like Shattered Glass. Presumably, he must've gotten to Zoomer in some way... well, he got him into a hotel, at least. Totally atmospheric and moody!

Thank you! Life was unexpectedly busy this month, so I wasn't able to reply until now. But I'm really grateful that you took the time to play and comment on my games!

I like the CG too! This was my first time trying out the camera movements, and it was worth the time learning the code. And yes, Evil and Zoomer are funny names to have... Good thing neither of them seem particularly bothered!

Thank you! You're so right about Hart... He just tries so hard </3

Thank you for the kind words (and on Meaning as well)! Your comment brightened my day with thoughts of Sol and Chet… Glad you enjoyed playing their games! 

Thank you so much for your comment! I was really happy to hear you enjoyed the Evil games so far, and him as a character. Hart too—looks sure can be deceiving 🙈 Hart and Evil… they’re perfect for each other…

Yes, this is a separate universe from the crime story with Evil and Zoomer (who is Zimmerman here). I got way too invested in an AU that became its own thing! Hopefully this won’t be the last you’ll see of them, since I'd love to keep creating their stories.

Thank you! 😭

Thank you for the wonderful comment! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game—it gives me motivation to keep creating!

Thank you! :)

Thank you for the kind comment! Sol and Chet are very dear to my heart so being able to tell their story means a lot to me. I was really touched to hear you enjoyed it :) Words like these make me glad to be a game dev and keep making games.

Sol and Chet really are the cutests, the adorablests, and the fluffyests... I agree so much! I love how you described them, it's true...

Thank you for the kind words, they brightened my day! Happy that you enjoyed playing :)

Thank you! It's quite a bizarre relationship, isn't it? :)

This reply is super late and I hope you don’t mind, but the first line of your comment has stuck with me ever since! 😂 Glad to hear your thoughts and that you liked the art. Noted about the narration, I’ll keep it in mind if I make a game in this format again :)

Thank you for playing! 

Thank you for the comment! I wasn’t able to reply until now (life has been busy :”), but I’m grateful for your words. You touched on many things I wanted to show about Evil and Zoomer, like “twisted” being a good way to describe them. Their relationship is interesting, although sometimes I wonder who has the worse taste in the other… 

Glad you liked the art too! 

Engaging game with a fun theme! I felt for both the player and the pizza delivery guy, haha. The rating system at the end was also a nice touch, first time I've seen one in a visual novel before!

I liked the dynamic between the characters and the intriguing setup it created! It was a very tight, tensely written conversation in 1000 words :)

This game instilled me with the feeling of being in a plane. The text was engaging, the visuals were polished, and the experience was overall very effective!

Interesting story and I liked the use of sprite positioning/zoom to convey movement! The art, background, and overall atmosphere is also very nice.

This game was very well made! I'll admit that I was stumped on the naming mechanic until I checked the comments, but after that, all went smoothly! I'm impressed by how many scenes were included within 1000 words :)

Thank you, I'm glad you did!

Thank you and no worries, their names amuse me as well! It was a rather bold move to call him Evil but I’ll own up to it 😤 I’m glad you enjoyed playing and I hope your friend did too!

Thank you for playing and commenting! To be honest, I was nervous about releasing this game since it's a rather dark scene. So I'm glad the narrative drew you in and was effective! The characters have a dynamic that'll probably stick in my head for a while.

As do I! Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed! :)
