"Show me the four GAMES that influenced YOUR current game project."

So you can tell it's a J-RPG but with lots of Western influences. Also, the world-building that I've done is very reminiscent of TES and Forgotten Realms (BG3)

Had an outage from the internet today at home, thankfully my work shift was nearly over so I didn't lose anything per se. You folks are not going to believe what fixed it after I waited a few hours...

...

Yes it was "ipconfig /flushdns" 😑

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

Without downloading any new pics what's your energy going into 2025?

It's December 27 and I'm thinking whether or not I can finish something I had planned for my own game with the deadline set to... *checks notes* yep, Sep 30

I haven't been exercising ever since the end of the pandemic more or less, decided to play football (soccer) yesterday, my muscles are now screaming at me :(

Sincerely thinking about removing the skeleton of a crafting system I have in my game after this read 🤔

I already had feelings about it being a scope creep
The reason crafting is in every game now: It's like money laundering for game designers

Let me explain.

Then there's me wanting to give continuity to my novel after a 1-week break due to my company meeting then I realized just now I have 8 days to deliver the partial conclusion of my essay in my University.

Guess my creative prospects will have to wait a little longer 😔✊

Yes, I know Skyrim is NOT actually a cozy game. 🙄 For the tenth time already guys. No it’s not because I don’t know what a comfort game is. But with mods you can fight not a damned thing. And you can build houses, fish, collect, wed, and adopt. Huh, sounds like a COZY GAME to me.

As I write for two days in a row, I noticed a massive issue with my tone: My English is *very* technical, I need to do multiple passes in order to refine my texts.

The curses of being ESL and having learned the language through a technical lens many years ago.

I... I actually started working on a story, writing five pages. Not a lot but this is my first time writing a novel fully in English. I've only wrote dialogue-based pieces for my games before.

A friend of mine came to me today with the plan of making a game on an engine I haven't used before (Godot).

I still have my RPG Maker game coming and guess what the idiot here did? I accepted, for now. 🤡

So folks some update on why I was willing to show off my game, buying a new Wacom tablet and then ended up not doing it:

I got scammed a month ago and lost some substantial amount of money, shame on me, I know 😐

Had to do some contingency planning and things are slowly turning back to normal again
