My survival RPG Duskpunk is OUT NOW on PC!!
The war left you with two assets: your life and your sanity. Keeping both will prove a challenge.

ICYMI, I just announced my "Citizen Sleeper meets Dishonored" RPG I've been working on for the last 2 years!
⚙️Survive a gritty steampunk city
💣Spark revolution!
🚩Take down the Empire...
👿...or put a new dictator in power?
God grant me the serenity to accept the loss of my entire life,
The strength to not have strength,
And the wisdom to know when to lay down and hold the fuck still.
The ME/CFS Prayer. 💙 Whitney

Good friend of mine is looking for kind testers before his solo game releases. If you are so inclined, give him a poke!
Via @begonepots "You're always talking about your illness." Because it affects everything I do. I don't bring it up for attention--I bring it up because it shapes every part of my life. From how I eat, sleep, move, work, socialize, and rest.Illness is in the background and foreground all the time. Talking about it is how I advocate for my needs, connect with others, and process what I go through. Silence doesn't make it disappear. In my shoes, imagine living with something 24/7--and being told to keep quiet about it.

Guilty Gear. Doing 3D anime is Arc System Works whole deal.
Hey, is this a paid QA job or are you trying to crowdsource early impressions?
Story does get good - IF you're not looking for a straight, linear story. It becomes more and more a nonlinear collage. I think it is a type of narrative that requires some involvement from the player. Making their own connections and interpretations. Vibing with the metaphors and art references.
Took you some time. 😁
And this type of wordplay is actually relevant to quite a few puzzles too!
Audio options if I think about it across all games. For me personally, I have to check for removing screenshake/motion blur (cognitive issues/long covid) and turning off hold button/press control stick bindings (tendonitis).
Turnaround of a player character for a game about Me/Cfs. 3 perspectives on the rainsuit that protects from the melting rain of the curselands. Dieselpunk vibes mixed with medieval armor and trench coats. A clunky mechanic arm hinting at physical disabilities.
I haven't touched my art supplies in years. Now in bed due to #MeCfs #Longcovid, I am picking up the pen again for my #gamedev project - a narrative bullet heaven about #chronicillness. This rainsuit protects mind and body against the melting precipitation of the Curselands - if intact..
Somehow I've managed to find stuff to do in #gamedev for 10 years without being able to code a single line. 😅
Now, this time has come to an end: I'm happily learning #godot. Dunno if that improves my hireability, but it feels good to finally DO stuff myself: starting a low-scope game about #me/cfs.
... a hairdrier to distribute the color outwards towards the edges.
I wouldn't know how to do that digitally, but irl i'd tape a piece if grained aquarel paper down (so it dries straight), take a dark blue, put a drop of a complementary color in it to reduce saturation, apply a film of water to the paper, put a drop of the diluted color on the water and use...
The examples from Robin Hood read to me like wet-on-wet watercolor with very diluted colors. There's a subtle gradient going on, looks like a 'broken' muted blue spread on the edges and a darker color where the gutter is.
Hits the nail on the head.
The mental load of having a chronic illness is equal to the physical burden. Anyone else relate to this? #longcovid #cfsme #chronicillness
(I hope that wasn't too preachy frommy side)
... most people just never get to learn it. And on top of that, oneself tends to overestimate how good they are at relearning things. 😁
And you can't really change people, certainly not over the internet. Might be better to learn to save your own energy.
Our brains seem to be hardwired to protect your own energy levels. Rewriting something you know is a huge energy expense, and thats probably why people react so aggressively to being 'forced' to do it.
Being able to accept that you're wrong is a SKILL that needs to be thought, and...
Oh, I get that. It's certainly frustrating to be very knowledgeable in a field, seeing someone get stuff so OBVIOUSLY wrong and the be confronted with a hostile reaction on top once you try to correct them.
But the thing is, almost everyone is naturally resistant to having to correct their view...
A desk with accommodations for working while laying down. Raised desk, reclinable chair, cushioned lap table with taped on keyboard, ample cushions and ergonomic mouse on a separate chair.
After a hefty crash I've started workplace adaptations for my Orthostatic Intolerance.
We raised the desk by 5cm so my fully reclinable chair fits under it.
Taped my keyboard to an ikea lap table and put my mouse on a chair to the side. Now I can work again! (when I can) #longcovid #mecfs #gamedev
Looks awesome in the best, most horrible way. The peek into the process is also much appreciated!
That being said, I might take fotos of things that I can't easily remember. Book titles, web pages, dates, etc. For me, it's less cognitive load to take a quick picture than to stop and write things down.
For me it is pretty much the other way round. I much prefer to be fully engaged in a talk, and if I write I find myself being focused on taking notes instead of thinking about the implications of what's been said. I also remember things better that way.
Ping! I'm in Austria!
I'd really like to be more active around here, but it's so hard to find the brainspace with MeCfs/Long Covid.
When everything is exhausting, thinking time is at a premium.
Alright. I'm not entirely sure I'm good at this whole social media thing, but new year, new steps to stumble over. I'll try and shout the (hopefully) marketable essence of my soul into the digital void.
Hello folks of the internet! Let's hope this year is a better one.
(am I doing this right?)
Darnit. Awesome. AWESOME I say!
