Hi, I'm Bobby Schroeder (she/her), an indie dev, writer, and furry artist from Florida. You may know me as the creator of Super Lesbian Animal RPG, or as the writer behind the Sonic blog Thanks Ken Penders. This blog is the home for my more formal writing—typically longform reviews of video games and TV shows and whatnot, with the occasional post about my work as well. Enjoy!
My work is supported via my Patreon, where you can also read a bunch of behind-the-scenes deep dives about my game dev work.
