Wurm did survive the last session of book three of blood lords, so that means new fit going into book four!
Coloured drawing of a fleshwarp woman. Her right arm is covered a mass of fleshy centipdes crawling all up to also make up her hair, her face is left untouched and the top of it is covered by a large black brimmed hat. She wears a large cape with a frilled end, that she holds open with her left arm, showing her outfit consisting of a white top and bright red leggins covered in black diamonds. Most notable though is the vast amount of clutter of equipment around her waist hanging from several belts.

WORF: Captain, an unidentified vessel is on an intercept course.
PICARD: Send a hail, Mr. Data.
DATA: Yes sir.
DATA:
DATA: Sir, the vessel has left us on read.
PICARD: Hail them again.
DATA: The vessel has turned off read receipts, Captain. However, our sensors indicate they are still communicating with other vessels.
WORF: Outrageous! Arm photon torpedoes!
PICARD: Belay that order.
WORF: But Captain! This is a great dishonor! We can clearly see them posting but they do not respond to our hails!
PICARD: They do not owe us the emotional labor of a response, Mr. Worf.
RIKER: Mr. Data, can you check if they've made any wideband subspace vagueposts since we hailed them?
DATA: There has been one vaguepost, sir, referring to a "rando" vessel that is "obsessed" with them.
PICARD: Arm photon torpedoes.

Wolverine's GPS Trail and Sonar UI stuff feels like accessibility features that could be super useful to disabled gamers, I wonder why they keep it on by default? Is there even the option to turn it off? Bizarre.

A little collection of dollhouses I drew recently.
The image shows a two-floor building with open walls. On the first floor there's a dining hall. There's a large table and a skeleton sitting at the table. There's a mural with a skeleton and an angel at the back and some arches with candles. On the right, there are two rooms: one is the reception with an arched window and a table behind the window, sofa in front of the window and a large human statue. A ragdoll cat is walking towards the door. Next room is a bedroom. The door to the bedroom has a lock on it. The bride is floating above the bed and a skeleton is looking at her from above the bed frame. In the center, there's a wedding ceremony hall with skeletons sitting on benches, a skeleton standing on a platform in the center reading a book and a groom waiting at the altar. There are murals on the walls with people and skeletons and a big statue of a crying angel. On the second floor, on the left side there are two rooms. At the very left side, there's a room with a broken wall. Birds are flying from an open cage, there's a shelf and some paintings on the wall. A skeleton is popping out of one of the paintings. In the next room, a skeleton is sitting on a chair and a cat is looking at it through a small secret door from the next room. There's a sculpture of an angel behind it. On the right side, there's a dressing room. The bride is sitting at the vanity table looking at her reflection but she sees herself as a skeleton. The room at the far right side extends to the roof. It has two large murals: one shows the groom and the shadow of the bride dancing and another one shows the bride holding a bird with 4 skeletons behind her. There are broken stairs leading upstairs. The wall is broken and there's a large skeleton climbing the wall. Upstairs shows the bride ringing the bells and a large skeleton behind the roof looking at her. Birds are flying in the sky and ribbons and cascading around the roofs. There's a horse on the left and a skeleton with angel wings. The artwork shows a house in the woods. The house is placed in the center and has three floors. It’s surrounded by pines on both sides. There’s a gazebo on the left and a girl is sitting on a blanket near the gazebo offering a squirrel a fruit.

They are laying on the floor. In the right there’s a living room connected to kitchen. A woman is sitting on a sofa holding her sleeping son. On the left side there’s a room with stairs leading upstairs. A young lady is walking up the stairs. On the second floor theres a library that extends to the third floor. The library has a mural of a woman on the wall and a ladder. Next to the library there’s a hall with a large mural of a woman with blonde hair. There’s a little nook next to the hall with sofas and a cat sitting on a sofa. Then there’s a bedroom with a bathroom. Upstairs, there’s a patio with a large crooked pine tree and a peacock sitting on a balcony boarder. Then there’s a tea room with floor pillows that leads to an art studio. A boy is playing a flute while sitting on a roof. Herons are flying left above him in the sky. The artwork is mostly neutral in color with much brown, green and beige.

Some people believe that we are collectively suffering from an ‘eclipse hangover’ and that the overwhelming, crushing physical discomfort in your chest is actually just your skeleton trying to shift back to its natural feral shape. The only cure is Lycanthropy. Good luck, babe

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a  pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

So grateful for every positive review our demo has received 🌹😭 If you enjoyed playing our medical horror RPG Flesh Blossom, then please consider leaving us a Steam review ❤️ Want to see what all the hype is about?! GO PLAY FLESH BLOSSOM ON STEAM 👀 #rpg #indiegame #horrorgame #bodyhorror #indiedev
A positive Steam review reading: "I found this to be a very interesting combination of serene and disturbing. One scene will really bring you into the peaceful spring day, where the colors and art feel warm and comforting, then the subject matter really hits in a more shocking way. There is a mystery here I am invested in and look forward to see where it goes or what's behind it. Music choices were very good, also adding to the opposing scenes and themes: Operations feel like there is a ticking clock adding urgency and the peaceful atmospheres feel like a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The brief artwork of a broken mirror at the end gave me goosebumps. Can't wait to see it 'fleshed' out more!"

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.
