In the Rega game hosted by @tfttstudios.bsky.social there was Koldie! I was the Oldie half, the halfling occultist who makes friends by insisting they're his new friends. Kole, the sexiest dwarf alive, was my beau. It started with me doing the friend thing, insisting he's my bestie.

I frame every project with these questions and revisit them across the development process, including once a game is done.

While it takes so much longer to create my games and products I make I think when they do reach completion they have more purpose.

Also I cancel less!

Qs Part 3

8) What does "project finished" look like?

9) What kind of financial budget do I have for this project?

10) Under what circumstances would I cancel this project?

11) How important is this to me?

I am investigating the end of the project and how much I'll risk.

Questions continued;

5) Why do I think this is different/interesting?

6) What am I excited about? Can I highlight that?

7) What will I struggle with? How can I rework that?

This section of questions helps me determine game complexity and if I can actually finish the project.

You may not agree with this assessment or with my ideas but I really think folks forget that a Discord Community needs active engagement just as much as social media and marketing content.

The Discord server is the step after marketing and reaching new markets.

Utilize it.

I can't imagine how I would feel as a server/supporter member without social media being the last person to know every announcement.

It is unfair to the people who have already committed to your space when you prioritize marketing and reach. Make sure to include them!

Cont 🧵

Usually I have enough funds/my partners payday works out to be quiet about my financial situation but I'd rather ask now than risk homelessness again.

I'm also willing to be paid for games! My games are free to play but if you WANT and CAN tip me that's super appreciated.

In need of funding to cover medication/bills after a year unemployed, car troubles, and unexpected vet visits.

$20 prevents overdraft fees. $300 to refill my meds and ensure rent.

Art and Sketch requests heavily discounted to cover immediate needs.

Like, I lived in the best place for being HoH and Queer of the fucking USA and I MOVED?

What the fuck was I thinking.

And then I see stuff about new California laws and the whole seizing away autonomy (or life) happening there and want to scream.

It'll always be home.

There is some mightily lacking functionality for sure

We apparently can and it's beautiful
