Currently making my precious RPG, among other things. Also writing a book.

At my current rate, my book will pass 500 pages easily. Of course, this is just the first draft. But… score?

So I’m getting into BL manga. Anyone have any suggestions?
I started with Punks Triangle by Yuho Okita. It’s very sweet and well written, among other things. Haven’t finished it yet, but of course I spoiled it.

I’m feeling crazy. I’ve written hundreds of pages in the last few weeks. I’m sleeping poorly. I’m chugging coffee and staying up late and getting up early. I wonder if this is a problem?

I’m writing a book. A regular one, not an RPG. I will not say what genre. I’m 105 pages in. Feels good.

I woke up this morning, cold sweat, harsh realization crawling up my spine: I need to play SO MANY more games.
It’s like weaponized imposter syndrome. “You don’t know enough. You haven’t experienced enough.” Yikes.

I’m in the buying-every-game-I-see period of my midstream game development. I’m deep in the paint. Gearing up for a playtest so I can do it all over again.

i recommend you do not do this until the cut they take is lower, basically. if you want to know about having a shopify store and connecting it with a fulfillment partner hmu and i'll tell you what we did. it is easy

I enjoyed Dead or Alive, Itagaki, jiggle physics be damned. I beat your challenging take on Ninja Gaiden. It was the first truly difficult game I committed to, my first feeling of triumph with a game when I finally bested it. Thank you! RIP.

Working on early playtest materials today. As often as I can, I want to playtest. Been told that’s important or something.

Designers are waiting weeks, and in some cases months, for payouts from itch as sympathy for the indie game platform's mounting problems wears thin.
Game designers are experiencing persistent payout issues from itch.io
The indie platform’s payout delays are a symptom of a bigger issue.

Here’s a post stating that I am still working on my game, daily and with wavering diligence. Stating this is more for my benefit than yours, dear reader. I am still making this thing.
