Today's story is technically set in the G4 universe, but set in distant outer space, aboard a run-down space vessel and starring its Captain and his somewhat less-than-friendly AI companion.
R7 is linear dynamic fiction, has horror elements and some violence, and requires no prior reading. Enjoy!

We're about to enter a new era for the stories and games of inurashii.xyz, and I'm super excited to have you all on board.
First of all, go check out the site! It's gotten some sorely-needed updates, and will be getting even more soon: http://inurashii.xyz/

Capping off the Generation 4 launch month is a standalone interactive fiction game set in the Generation 4 universe, but not on the earth's surface. This is the story of a botanist in space.
Unlike Regret, RGB is a completely independent story that requires no universe knowledge whatsoever to understand. I co-wrote it with my friend and co-author Auri, and this is h...

Introducing: the first Interactive Fiction game set in the Generation 4 universe!
"Regret" kicks off 'Season 2' of Generation 4 and introduces a brand new plotline... and with it, a new foe. The story features some of Gen4's "main characters", so it may be a little bit more confusing if you haven't read of it at all, but it should still be playable and fun...
2016-06-30 00:24:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends. If you've been paying any manner of attention, you know that I've been working in a collaborative fiction universe called Generation 4, releasing several stories set there on this very Patreon.
Well, today's an exciting day: I'm proud to announce the launch of the Generation 4 website, which currently contains over 200,000 words of content and will soon gain much, much more...

Hi friends!
My second release for May is a work of static fiction set in Cassandra Marshall's Generation IV universe, a collaborative short story that I wrote with a co-author who wishes to be credited just as 'Auri'.

2016-06-01 00:39:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends,
Thank you for your patience! It's gonna be a two-release day, and I'm happy to announce that the first one is another episode of Bloom!
In May of last year, I started writing Bloom. It's proven to be one of my most beloved stories, and one that's very close to my heart.
Thank you so much for your support, and enjoy the episode!

Hi friends! I have one more last-minute Tiny Utopia for you, this one bigger than the others and very special. This little environment for you to explore was inspired by art drawn by Carolyn VanEseltine and featured in the game, and includes a background song that I wrote for her art.
Please enjoy!
Hi friends.
I've created three tiny utopias for you, their release vaguely coinciding with the Tiny Utopia game jam that Emily Short inspired.
Each one is a single-room experience and features ambient sound and CSS. Make sure your sound is on when you play!

My first release for you today is one that I would prefer to delay not because it's not done, but because of timing issues. As a result, I'm sending it to y'all FIRST, but not announcing it publicly until next week.
This is a work of #dynfic called 'Mandatory Viewing'.

Hello lovely pledges! I am overjoyed to announce the release of a brand new episode of Bloom! :D
Our normal artist, Kiva Bay, wasn't available to do art for us this time around, so I recruited this gal I know whose art is only so-so but is a sucker for doing pro bono work on indie games. So yeah, I did the art for this one, woooo please be nice.

At a request by a vision-impaired follower, I've started a cinematic Let's Play of Toby Fox's brilliant game UNDERTALE. My spouse and I voice act each character, and I narrate actions and scenes during the playthrough.
If you haven't played this amazing game yet, please feel free to experience it with this series of videos!
I won't be taking credit for each video, by the way -- this funded post will account for the entirety of the True Pacifist playthrough.
2015-12-31 23:17:02 +0000 UTC View PostSome of you may remember the game Seeds and Solutions, a game of exploration, crafting, and stories. The second story in the Seedling Sequence is here, and it's called Seeds and Survival!
A slightly more freeform experience than the first Seeds game, you'll need to make choices about how and what to gather and create. Post your best scores here! :)

Happy Halloween! I just worked nonstop for the past week or so preparing this creepy treat for you. BASEMENT is an exploration puzzle game with a surreal horror theme.

It's been a little while since I've gotten to work with the inimitable Kiva Bay, but I'm happy to report that that's all changing! Kiva did the art for the latest keenly-anticipated episode of Bloom, which is today's release and the last-minute second release for September! As usual, you can play it here:

Please be advised that while this episode is happier and nicer to our main character than the previous two, Bloom may still be difficult for certain people with mental illness or gender dysphoria to read.
Enjoy!
