april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/09/2026that's true lol... that first point is why "no one is going to buy your video game" has stuck with me a lot even though i never planned on selling anything i made 011
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/09/2026i would do that but i do actually want to talk to people about what i make. it's my curse to bear... 010
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/09/2026for me the anxiety is less about originality and more about "what if i make something bad and then people know me as an untalented writer/artist/game designer/whatever?" which is why i think i need to put something out there, so that i stop worrying about this lol 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/09/2026i feel similarly about wanting to make small rpgs after playing a handful of short indie rpg maker games without playing older classics. what if i make the rpg equivalent of "baby's first visual novel deconstruction"? i guess all i can do is make it and approach it earnestly! 280
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/09/2026after reading "no one is going to buy your videogame" it's made me want to make stuff again despite anxiety about said stuff sucking ass, so ive been making something small in godot. but i cannot shake the fear of writing something bad. and i guess i won't be able to shake it until i release it... 170

april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 05/09/202626) HEAVEN'S VAULT really fascinating narrative game! it feels quite ambitious and is in some senses bursting at the seams technically, sometimes for the worse, and it has some jank and weird design choices, but i enjoyed a lot of it and it gave me a lot to chew on. 010
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 01/09/2026thinking about a hypothetical "correspondence tetris". you get a letter with a tetris board and next piece, you place the piece and pick a new next piece and send it back to your opponent. whoever doesn't place the losing piece wins. i think this is the next big thing 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 30/08/2026lol i forgot to add to this for months. anyway: 25) THE SMASH PROS (rewatch) so many jokes in this are the basis of my sense of humour. except for the racist ones i forgot about? that + being a parody of the smash bros doc makes this the most unrecommendable thing ever, even if i like lots of it 110
