it really feels like conversations that would happen in a dream

"Friction" is nothing without "sincerity" behind it.... So, if you are a game designer who loves friction, keep cultivating and developing your taste in frictions.

all the ways in which i "failed" to serve the player improve these games' adherence to my vision. which isn't to say my vision is the best thing the games could have ever become, but it's what i wanted to make and what i'm proud of having achieved

kaleidoscope and impossible scuba scramble have major secrets that the games never tell you about but are actually the entire point of them. touhou sudden wing syndrome was too hard for a game jam game, but i wanted it to be challenging to make victory meaningful. also monitorium... lol

this is the role i play every few months when i send my friend a video from a game development youtuber who causes them physical pain

i thought this was a joke because the game isn’t out yet and only just now remembered there’s a demo

i had so many pick 3s... but i still blew it...

i can do better (i can't do better)

i went infinite

after reading these posts i think i have a good idea of what you're going for, so i think a blog post that gives anyone who reads it the same idea would help (or at least make people feel like they don't have to ask questions you're just gonna say yes to anyway)

i mean, even just having a blog post saying this will encourage a good share of normal people to feel safer about it. what kinds of use cases are you intending for this btw? people putting this on free games they don’t mind being redistributed? modifications like i wanna be the guy fangames?

also, what do you intend to do if someone violates that mutual trust?

are you familiar with the ZUN's guidelines for touhou fan works (touhou-project.news/guidelines_en/)? i feel like a (not necessarily as formal) blog post like this would make more sense than a stand-in for a typical license

in gen 3 Fondoo would evolve into Cheeslurp instead which would be purple and bigger but not really mean more just dopey looking. oh and in gen 4 they'd get an evolution called Dayreesoup that evolves from female Fondoo using a Noon Stone

in gen 2 it would be Fondour and Fondoom which would be pretty much the same, but in gen 6 we'd get Mega Fondoom which would be even bigger and meaner and redder
