Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

A pink and gray poster: featuring a guillotine shaded in black halftones. The words "IT ENDS HERE", and an arrow and a manicule pointing towards the head hole of the guillotine. A white star in the middle of it. at the bottom of the poster, a painting of flames in turquoise, with the words "nothing to lose" and other embelishments in pink.

Every day, exhausted indie devs are forced to do marketing, just to survive. But you can make a difference. Credit cards at the ready people, this is not a drill!

I really think this game does something special a lot of people haven't experienced in a ttrpg. A troupe of survivors of a crash now left to explore an alien world. Flash back into the past that led you here, and build your camp into a home. Maybe youll survive long enough to get... Out of Orbit.

Are tech or skill trees a thing in ttrpgs? Don't think I've seen many around, but I could be wrong. I'm trying to find a way to have societies with different technological capabilities without the linear Tech Levels of GURPS or Traveller. Right now a tech tree of tags is the best I came up with.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

One of the main reasons why my game has no HP and instead damage is a non-abstracted wound. You will die from a gunshot regardless if a toddler shot you or an experienced soldier.
