I make visual novels! Also play them sometimes. Wish I had time for more of both. I also do a podcast and LPs, because I don't know how to stop myself.

I'm going to post various links and such you can use to find me after this. But I want to suggest you do more than just click follow on a new site (that odds are one of us won't stick with). Reach out with a message, DM me, add me on discord. I don't really mind if you just want to say a quick thing or want to ask something. I can't promise I'll be equipped to answer it but I'll say something!

One thing I'm sitting with as the site closes is that I want to be more intentional and interactive with people. I think the worst habit social media enforces is passive consumption. Clicking like instead of ever saying anything of value to another person. And there's a reason for that, because active engagement takes more energy, effort and spoons. But also a big part of what always makes me not do this is a very silly thought:

"Oh they don't want me to bother them."

I tend to assume this, overly much. Erring on the side of assuming people don't want to hear from me even if it's something like simply complimentary like "Hey this thing you made is sick."

So I'm categorically giving you (yes you reading this) permission to bother me with whatever it is you want. I have the bandwidth to be able to say "ah, I don't really know, sorry!" if I need to. But I would much rather people try shoot that shot than not.

Also asks here are open, fire off anything there too while you still can.

I have a newsletter now:
https://buttondown.com/SuperBiasedGary

That is where I'll be focusing my long form updates, news about new releases and development chat. Some of that will be about previous games (I want to do a "year of com__et" one at the end of October), but I'll be talking a lot about my next game Ravel the Frays - a sci fi mystery puzzle game. Enjoy a deeply exclusively sneak peek of some art:

Besides that itch.io is the best central location for my work, though you can get com__et on Steam and eventually Ravel will appear there too.

Other places you can find me trying to make things work are still twitter, bsky and mastodon. I have made a neocities I'd like to tinker with.

I'm on discord with this same username, you can also email me if you want to reach out and chat! garydos AT hotmail.com
