A follow up to the Older Melody sketches I did a while ago. I think she would be in her mid 40's here!

Was Claire's design inspired by Dark Magician Girl? The color scheme and her role as the party mage had me wondering lol

Not directly, but I was definitely going for that sort of magical girl vibe. I did grow up with Yu-Gi-Oh, so I can't deny that Dark Magician Girl was probably an influence on some level. Vague Touhou vibes were also an influence, though I wouldn't actually play any Touhou games until a few years later, at which point I realized that I had basically made Claire the exact same character as Marisa lmao

Started this game recently after watching the dev. Log, then forgetting to get it for like a year. Heh. Really enjoying it so far. Just got to act two and Allison's theme song is such a bop! What were your inspirations in composing it?

Thanks for making the game, and happy day of trans visibility too!

Thanks so much! I'll have to pass the question about the music over to SLARPG composer @bumblequinn to answer in a reblog, though.

happy Trans Day of Visibility from the Super Lesbian Animal RPG crew!

HI I'm currently brainstorming my own very lesbian RPG Maker game, and as kind of a casual gamer, I'm trying to familiarize myself with what lesbian games are already out there!! SLARPG looks amazing, I have a Mac but I'm dying to play it as soon as I can get set up to. But anyway. I was wondering if you know of any other notable games focused on lesbian stories, besides visual novels(I know theres lots of those, but I'm interested in RPGs and life sims.) Was there any other sapphic game that helped to inspire SLARPG perhaps?

Hey thanks for reading my ask anyway and hope to play SLARPG soon 😊

The thing is, I can't say I was particularly inspired by other sapphic games when I started making SLARPG

For one, there just weren't nearly as many sapphic games in the early 2010s as there are today. There was, like, Life is Strange and Gone Home, and some RPGs that had some F/F romance options like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and a small handful of niche indie games like Mighty Jill Off and Lesbian Spider Queens of Mars by Anna Anthropy, but there wasn't nearly as much out there as there is today. Just to name a few, you've now got indies like Butterfly Soup, Signalis, Get in the Car Loser, certain subplots in Undertale and Deltarune, the continued existence of RPGs with F/F options like Baldur's Gate 3, and many, many more games than I can list off the top of my head. There's a lot, especially in the indie space

There are also more AAA games with sapphic characters in them now, but I wouldn't exactly pitch The Last of Us to someone looking for a queer romance story just because Ellie is gay, nor would I tell you to play Overwatch 2 just because the lore says Tracer is a lesbian. And I know Aloy has a female love interest in Horizon: Forbidden West, but I couldn't tell you how much focus that's actually given

But also, SLARPG was based more on my own experiences and feelings, as opposed to being inspired by other works of queer fiction. There was very little out there that I felt I could relate to 100% at the time, so I felt the need to go and make it myself. And, in fact, I kind of avoided playing some other queer games by my peers in the indie scene while working on SLARPG because I didn't wanna be influenced too heavily by them and accidentally rip them off. I just wanted to tell my own story

Claire and Ralsei try to solve the important questions... Like who has the larger hat to body ratio? Commission for rezblaze! Was a ton of fun to do, hope you like!

Moo Moo March 4: Claire Higsby Claire from SLARPG!! I love her so much, she is literally my girlfriend 💙

happy lovecore Claire Higsby day to those who celebrate

I'd have tried it too.

How does Ipsy have those cool sharp chompers compared to the other undead? Is she of another species (undead status aside), did she go get sharp teeth, or is there no explanation and she has them because it looks cool (which if so, valid, honestly)?

Ipsy is just an elf. I would have just said that it's a random quirk she was born with. No rule saying we can't give sharp teeth to an elf, or any other species for that matter.

However, I asked Anthony (who designed her), and he decided that it's a modification she made after her revival so that she could bite through things like wires while doing her tinkering. I like that, so that's the answer now

If melody was a neopet what species would she be? (The others feel like obvious choices of cybunny, kougra, and kau imo)

I was never a Neopets kid so don't hold me to this, but I guess since there's no foxes the closest would be a Lupe. You could also go for something that's completely the wrong animal but has a vibe closer to Melody like a Xweetok or a Bori

I found out about @ponett 's @slarpg a while ago, and it's such a cute-looking game, I had to draw the characters!

slarpy gee fanart since I beat it recently... the character design in this game goes hard as hell !!!
