I am a lamia who makes videogames and plays a bunch of retro stuff! You've heard of a rattlesnake, now here’s a BATTLESNAKE!

About

Panel Content
Hello! I am Kiri, a *totally normal* Lamia girl who *definitely does not* regularly stalk and devour humans for sport. (Any rumors to the contrary should be dismissed as hearsay and my lawyer says I shouldn't say anything else about it.) I play games, I make videogames, and I draw stuff! I love talking about game tech, especially graphics engineering. Feel free to ask about that stuff anytime, especially if you're curious about how something I'm currently playing might work! I also do some retro games and retro game dev, so that all includes some serious nitty gritty about DOS programming. That's my favorite topic!

Model Info

Made by myself entirely in Blender over the holiday break between 2021 and 2022. (Not a professional 3D modeler, just too dumb to give up!) Currently using SnekStudio (my work-in-progress VTuber software) for rendering.

Art Setup

Software: - Blender - Krita - Aseprite Hardware: - Huion Kamvas 12

Game Dev Tools

- Godot - Emacs - Unreal Engine - Valgrind - Clang - GCC - Git - Autotools, because I like pain - Probably a ton of other random stuff

Professional Work

I've worked professionally on these games and game-related tech: - Champions Online - Star Trek Online - Neverwinter - Rift - NeoFur Most recently at Cryptic Studios doing graphics programming, but all opinions expressed here are my own and not approved or related to my work at Cryptic. Currently looking for work as a graphics programmer. 14 years industry experience with multiple shipped titles, middleware, and a platform. While I might be willing to chat about my professional experience a bit, I'm not a support line for any of the games I've worked on. Having said that, if you've played something I've worked on, I'd love to know!

FAQ

Q: Can popsicles expire? A: Yes. If they're left out they will obviously go bad. Even if stored in the freezer, they can also suffer from freezer burn, in which case the crystalline structure changes in a way that alters the texture in an unpleasant way. Q: Are you a popsicle? A: Nope. It's just an online handle. Q: Can lamias or snakes kick? A: Yes. There's an anime about this called "Jashin-chan Dropkick". Q: Are you open to commissions? A: Usually not. Sorry. Q: What Linux distro is that? A: Debian stable. Q: Who made your emotes? A: Sabine, my partner. Q: Who made your model, background, and overlay? A: I did! Q: What VTuber software do you use? A: SnekStudio, a program I made in Godot. It'll be open-source eventually. It relies on MediaPipe for tracking. Q: Have you played MyHouse.wad? A: Yup. Q: Can I see your feet? A: You really don't have any idea what a lamia is, do you? Q: Are you a dragon? A: Nope. I am a lamia. Q: But you have horns. A: Those just come free with being a monstergirl. Q: <Literally any question about lamia anatomy, biology, or evolution> A: Lamia, in Greek mythology, was turned into a monster, not born as one. Same goes for me. Evolutionary biology doesn't play a part in this. Q: Favorite color? A: Purple. Q: Favorite food? A: Paneer tikka masala over rice.

Doomsday Charity Stream! (2023)

Panel Content
Hey! Guess what! December 10th is the 30th anniversary of the launch of the shareware version of Doom! I'm gonna do a charity stream to celebrate! We're going to play Hideous Destructor and shoot, bleed, crawl, and die our way through almost every single official classic Doom game over the course of this week, plus Sigil and Sigil 2 (which just released on the 9th!). Donate to cause in-game effects. Spawn monsters, steal our weapons, or just annoy us. You can also help by spawning allies! I'll be matching the first $1024 (USD) of donations out of my own pocket! Today we start episode 1: Knee Deep in the Dead! Donate here! https://tiltify.com/@expiredpopsicle/kiris-doomsday-stream-for-charity/preview
