I'm making a game. It's not named right now. But it involves surfing on clouds. Marshmelloy clouds.

Added building restrictions to #overcloud so you have to be careful about planning your ship out and where to place engines and helm, etc. That way you don't have the engine exhaust plowing right into the back of your ship.
On second thought... maybe I should just make materials flammable.

something people don't talk much about in this era of "publishers expecting a near-finished game before investing" is
games are being made sub-optimally in order to speed-run vertical slices/convincing demos
instead of finalising systems then building content, you have to make content alongside 1/

Quick construction of ship equipment, and a drive around the #overcloud area while sheltering from the storm in the cabin, which occludes weather audio.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I think about actions for a very long time and then sometimes do them quickly.
I make colors change on a very small number of people's computer screens and then I cry in the shower.

#OvercloudGame When exploring the world in their skyship, the player will often have to rappel down below the clouds in order to explore the Undercloud and find lost technologies and blueprints to expand their building tools.
The Undercloud is not a safe place. Getting lost can spell your doom.

In Overcloud, the player flies a skyship that they construct themselves through various landscapes, exploring and finding new ways to adapt their ship to new environments.

I've moved around a bit in the last decade and these kind of cultural differences are what makes it worth the effort.
Been in L.A. for two years and I still miss New York, but I will admit that when someone in L.A. says they had a magical experience it’s like locking eyes with a coyote under a full moon and when someone in New York says it they mean they witnessed a guy dressed as Ant-Man get kicked by a cop horse.

Added a new system 🖥️that lets the player interact with a Ship System ⛵ (helm, computer, engine, etc.) and the users controls will change based on what they are interacting with. Just looks like the players sliding into place, but its a lot more!
