The whole 'launching a new less-mainstream PC gaming site' thing is experimental. Help me make it work

Ah the bogged down in coffee cream mousse status effect. It's one of my favourites in gameplay. (I'm being humourous your stuff is great as always)

13. Dragon Ruins: youtu.be/UzdH4jW7NNA Very short, only about 2 hours. Which is satisfying enough for reusing those dungeon-crawler mental muscles, really. The character art by Torio (toriotto?) is the most atmospheric part, and it was a great fit to use. I should play more bite-sized games.

I forgot to post these, but months ago I did some tests for stylized dialogue in POTBRR. My goal is to make this visual novel feel as much like reading a 70's Showa-era manga as possible! 🖤

Chihiro having dramatic inner monologue, "She can have the role... over my dead body!" with spiky text balloon.

Chihiro being shocked agaisnt a black background with a white shock shape behind her. The black, drippy text box reads, "No... it's not possible!"

Chihiro in her dressing room, looking neutral. Her cloud-shaped word balloon reads, "Finally. Some nice, calm, normal dialogue"

I've been mocking up in #Godot some UI for a silly idea. A trading stock simulator à la paper please. The gameplay and jokes would only land for very few people I guess!

I've tried out the demo of The Hollowing and it's looking really good. It mixes Plane Sim, Megastructures and Horror. The voice acting is fantastic, it makes me think of cool podcasts like NightVale/Archive81 or Black Tapes. store.steampowered.com/app/4882000/...

It's happening! Even Goblins Fall In Love has been accepted to MIVS (MAGFest Indie Videogame Showcase) for MAGFest in January! It's been a couple years since I've had the opportunity to show my work at MIVS. I am SOOOOOOO pumped for this opportunity!

The message says "Welcome to the Indie Showcase!" and shows that the game accepted for MIVS (the MAGFest Indie Videogame Showcase) is Even Goblins Fall In Love.

I spent more time than I should've yesterday making a graph view of my enemy's behavior. I'll probably expand that, but it's awesome that Godot lets you create your own panels and editor views. The system is basically FFV. I'll link a post below. #gamedev #godot #ui #rpg

In Paradox Tower some monsters get stronger with adjacent monsters. Isolating such monsters is a wise tactic!
