Teaching early teens how to create their own game assets for #VisualNovels (and #GameDev in general) and today we were talking about using layers to speed up art creation (alpha locking, filters on layer groups), to give characters different expressions, or even create variations with multiple colours without having to redraw the whole image every time. In talking about expressions we discussed icons and why adding two diagonal lines to an orcs face immediately makes them an angry orc.
We also talked about how you always want clear visual separation between your visual focus (the orc) and the background (the corridor), lowering saturation and making sure that there's a contrast between the edge of the focus object and the background even if it isn't "realistic" - i.e. why it wouldn't work to have the corridor fade to black if we want to use filled line art with black lines.
All after doing some thumbnail sketches to work out what the problems were in the first place. Not bad for an hours work! #krita #VisualDesign #IterativeImprovements

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-11-26
I missed Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday, but I am making sure to make up for it by starting this post yesterday. 1. Uzbek Fighters in Syria Face Tensions with Al-Sharaa’s Government (Jacob Zenn for Jamestown. June 9, 2026.) Whatever disagreements the various bands of foreign jihadists have, the Uzbek fighters have good reason to figure out a way to make it work. That reason? This incident can also serve as a reminder to Central Asian states to continue developing repatriation frameworks […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-06-11-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-20-26
We are having a second consecutive 90+ degree day here in Brooklyn today's Pook-Emu Bee links are warmer than the outside temperatures. Links 1. Google Search as you know it is over (Sarah Perez for TechCrunch. May 19, 2026.) The AIfication of Google Search is concerning but NLJ has been hitting new highs in Google Search despite my disfavoring AI cawlers via .htaccess and robots, so we'll see if it has any effect on my numbers. 2. Japanese indie gay bar management sim Sodomy Fatale will […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-20-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-30-26
Work did not allow for timely Pook-Emu Bee links, but today I return with nine new links from around the web. 1 Popular WordPress redirect plugin hid dormant backdoor for years (Bill Toulas for Bleeping Computer. April 29, 2026.) Not popular enough for me to have been using it (but do attend to the issue if you happen to be running Quick Page/Post Redirect on WordPress). 2. Waylay Callais! (Josh Blackman for The Volokh Conspiracy. April 30, 2026.) After much anticipation, the Supreme […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-30-26/

Schrödinger’s Ayatollah and Umineko: When They Cry
I read a cleverly-titled article by Amit Segal titled Schrödinger’s Ayatollah: Is Mojtaba Dead or Alive? The article examines the life status, or lack thereof, of Iran's purported Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. As I read the article, I found myself thinking about the iconic Japanese visual novel, Umineko: When They Cry. Then I found myself thinking about the best of its many great music tracks, Happiness of Marionette. Then I had Happiness of Marionette playing on loop in my head. I […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/schrodingers-ayatollah-and-umineko-04-26-26/

Some shameless self-promotion for my #otomegame #visualnovel blog here.
I want to implement content warning lists for audience with triggers, considering it’s a very niche hobby and lists like those aren’t really readily accessible. (Fortunately I do enjoy darker content so I use this shitty super power to help others, I guess.)
Apart from that I’ll also be doing reviews of mainly Japanese Otome titles I’ve played and I’m trying to focus on those that have been picked up for localisation into english, so people can get a feeling for the games before making a decision to buy.
If that sounds like something you enjoy, please pay me a visit. My husband also worked hard on some polling and rating plugins considering the Wordpress landscape is a lot of subscriptions … if you like the plug-ins stay tuned because my dear 3D husband plans on making them public in the future. ♥️

We have some bite sized introduction to #ink posts for writing #interactivefiction / #visualnovels up on YouTube and I’m hoping to do a few more next week. I’ll definitely be doing a follow on about conditions (the different comparison operators and “switch” statements) and I’ll probably also do a video version of this blog post.
If you’ve got requests or ideas for other focused mini-videos let me know commenting here or over at the IntFiction forums (intfiction.org/t/ink-introdu...)

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-17-26
Today is Friday. That means it is time for our last Pook-Emu Bee link collection of the week (Saturday's links come in the Newsletter Leaf Journal). 1. Gemini adds personalized AI image generation using your preferences (Fla for AlternativeTo. April 17, 2026.) Google Gemini now enables users to generate deeply personalized images, with Nano Banana 2, by drawing on their preferences and Google Photos content.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-16-26
Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. I note this because my longest NLJ article, clocking it at more than 18,000 words, is about Otho. Fortunately, I also published some shorter Otho reading. But Otho aside, it is time for today's edition of Pook-Emu Bee links from around the web. 1. Gov. Mikie Sherrill demands FIFA foot the bill for World Cup transportation after reports NJ Transit could inflate train tickets by 775% ( Caitlin […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-16-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-14-26
I did not have much time to engage in my daily "feed reading" this morning. But I will not let that stop me from publishing my daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Justice Department Files Case to Revoke U.S. Citizenship of Mastermind Behind Multimillion-Dollar Tax Fraud Scheme (USCIS. April 13, 2026.) The marriage fraud allegations are a nice addition. It's always who you least expect. 2.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-13-26
There were no Pook-Emu Bee links on Saturday because it was newsletter day (22 links in issue 275!). There were no Pook-Emu Bee links on Sunday because I failed. But today is Monday. Monday is a fun day. I will not fail. In fact, I may even have some bonus links (either to make up for yesterday or to keep my link list under control). 1. 420 Court's Façade Takes Shape in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (Michael Young and Matt Pruznick for New York YIMBY.

Google elimina la novel·la visual Doki Doki Literature Club (PEGI +18) de Google Play per representar “temes sensibles”.
No passarà res ja que és una novel·la visual. Qualsevol dia ho comencen a fer amb llibres convencionals.
(i aprofito per afegir que si bé és innegable que banalitza i explota aquests “temes sensibles”, també té uns punts de desestigmatització que m'atreviria a defensar)

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-28-26
There was no Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday because it was newsletter day. But I am back early this Sunday morning (before I go to bed) with the first edition of the Pook-Emu Bee for the new week. 1. The Bird of Paradise you want is NOT the best one to grow in your house (Alex Calamia for News 12 Brooklyn. March 18, 2026.) My first thought was the avian bird of paradise. 2. The Vapidity of Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends (John Hinderaker for Power Line. February 9, 2026.) I concur that even […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-28-26/
