Hey, so there’s another TUG update I’m really excited over! (what else is new….) 

Part of the freedom that comes with independently funding a game is not being beholden to anyone who would try to tell us that our target demographic will only buy games with a white male muscle-bound lunkhead or a scantily clad woman on the box. And we at Nerd Kingdom are committed to representing diversity in TUG… after all, what kind of social scientists would we be if we weren’t interested in pushing that envelope as well?

So, what are some things we’ll do our best to make sure you won’t see in TUG? 

  • Armors that have a drastically different appearance on different genders 
  • Overly sexualized “feminine” animations for female characters
  • Damsels in distress (which isn’t to say you won’t find some NPCs in sticky situations… we just won’t discriminate!)
  • Stylized stereotypical representations of different races and cultures
  • White males being portrayed as “default” or “generic”

What you CAN expect to see:

  • Seeds of different genders and colors, both among player characters and NPCs
  • A variety of hairstyles and hair types for Seeds
  • Different and realistic body type progressions for male and female Seeds

 

Redrew some old art because how could you get tired of one otp cosplaying another

Whoops I wanted all of these in one post :x

Probably the last one of these I’ll get done before fanime but I had to draw my favorite girls <3

New Tech video! Most of it goes over my head, but you can briefly see the anvil I designed :D 

There’s only 12 days left in the kickstarter so if you chose to pledge or signal boost it is greatly appreciated! 

More Dangan Ronpas&#8230; I didn&#8217;t get any suggestions so I drew my favorite couple XD ngl, the first time I saw their designs I was expecting fanservice and transphobic jokes, and instead got the most heartbreaking friendship between girls bonding over athletics and not fitting into the feminine norm. Basically when I recommend playing DR or watching a let&#8217;s play, it is at least 50% because of these two and you won&#8217;t even realize until it&#8217;s too late.

Oh man, looks like we got some international coverage?? That is way cool. (Unfortunately I only know a handful of Norwegian words from listening to too much Kaizers Orchestra in college XD)

If you come across any posts like this please let me know! We’re really excited to track what kind of press we get and what communities take interest :)

This is the opposite of what I should be doing but my favorite fic updated and

The TUG kickstarter just hit 50%!  We’ve added some digital-only tiers that were requested in the comments, and a link to our facebook page!

There’s also an update about sound design if anyone is into that sort of thing :)

So the homestuck chat inspires great and terrible things and my contribution has been mostly centipedestuck and drew a mothergrub cuddling her larvae because seriously how cute is this
