HELP
my account got hacked yesterday - I was able to recover it, but now I'm stuck in some kind of Limited Mode that says to respond to a Discord System msg that doesn't exist!
I CAN'T enter text messages in ANY channel or DM
I CAN talk with voice?
& DO ADMIN STUFF TO SERVER?!?

Through forgotten corridors and the dim halls of memory, it has been gathering, growing — a presence older than our craft, yet hungry for creation.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmingly isolated and alone that it physically makes my bones ache.

Selfishly, my favorite thing about this is my new Splash Screen because I added a cameo from the character of this game:

Please go give it a try now!

Having a really bad time of it these last few days... weeks? And doing all I can to 'seem fine' outwardly but I'm feeling like I'm reaching the end of my limit.... alone all the time and when I have any interaction with somoene more than 2sec its an argument.

Can I tell you that I love when you review 'bad' Indie Games but still have a lot of postive things to say about them?
Or am I fan-girling too much?
I just love when someone with influence shines a light on an otherwise overlooked IG. Someone poured their ❤ into it.

When I was a kid, I thought a sycophant was a type of pachyderm that people used as an insult because it had the word 'sick' in it. Like you might call someone a 'dumb ox', 'jackass', 'silly goose', etc.

I like making "spooky" themed games that are not actually scary/gory/jumpscarey.

This spooky season, check out some of my favorites:

I just got swindled by AI slop artist for $130 :(
Here I was thinking I was supporting an actual artist and buying something ... then it turns out to just be AI generated - and of course, buried at the bottom of their Return Policy: "Use of AI is not a valid reason for a refund."

Let me know if you would like to see this expanded into a larger game with more worlds, more spells, more puzzles...

Leave a 🦖 as a comment if you would!

I changed Saurceror, the game-prototype I made back in January from $1 to FREE!

This also means you can play the game in your browser now!

ENJOY!
