🔥The desert is most dangerous late at night. The harsh cold might surprise unaware travellers.🔥 🌑 Darkest hour biome: becomes accessible after you manage to collect enough coins. It only contains 3 levels but each one will prove a true test of your understanding of TRAILS' mechanics. #indiegamedev
The crucible - one of three levels of the 'darkest hour' biome. An endgame level containing 3 ships, a key, a gate, resources, villages and volatile tiles. Using a dark colour palette.

Very specific need, to make fan fictions including geo metas... Like the "hump ahead" one. If that isn't something you'd wanna include in some road trip pirate au thing... 👀 #ofmd

Really beautiful! 😍 The colours and the composition are amazing. First time I heard about the monster from the Black Lagoon was in the video game "monster sweethearts" which I played some weeks ago. So that was nice seeing this here and being reminded of that. 😄

🏜️ From concept to finished overworld map! 🏜️ You can still join our Beta Test for TRAILS: Just write us and join our puzzling journey through the desert. ⛵ #indiegamedev #gameart #conceptart
A handrawn inked folding map of a desert with height lines drawn into it. There is a dotted path with crossings going from the left to the right side of the map. There are severals numbered pins on the path marking locations. The map is folded in three parts which separate different biomes. Every part has a label. Labels from left to right are: “chrono dunes”, “graphic heights” and “center lake”. The last biome features markings of atomic radiation contamination. There is a map scale on the left lower side with the headline “desert map”. The finished in-game map. It's more colourful in a sandy yellow tone and with a brown-red background. The dotted path, height curves and atomic areas are drawn in similarly. Some of the pins outside of the path have flames surrounding them. The region descriptions are saltwind expanse, the shardlands, the spine and whispering flats.

Just being curious and it's ok if it's a no, would you be interested in either playtesting (nowish but without streaming) or streaming (once it's near release) an indie puzzle game? I follow you because of our dear pirates 💜 but I saw this and that you enjoy puzzle games, so I thought I should ask 🫣

[ID: six panels in color. Panel one: Dean Spade is saying “I’m hearing a lot of people struggling with hopelessness right now”. Beneath him a fiery landscape with birds flying in all directions. Panel two: “and I’m thinking it may be the moment to shift what we have hope and faith in“. A blue room with a figure packing a bag. The open window shows a fiery landscape with two birds flying. Panel three: “it’s actually appropriate to be letting go of the false promises of liberalism“. The image of a hand with sand running through the fingers. Panel four: “the idea that billionaires or tech solutions or legislation or court cases or elected officials will save us “. An image of trees burnt by fire, surrounded by a red sky. Panel five: “instead of recognizing that no one‘s coming to save us. That it’s on us.” An image a red bird describing birds flying from a fire to four blue birds that are surrounding and listening to them. Panel 6: “that we really only have each other in our ability to care for one another”. Five red birds soaring into a blue sky.]

I was poking around an old folder in my external hard drive and found this art I did 10 years ago when I was trying my hand at digital art. I've always been a pirate nerd, but this illustration hits me differently now 💜
Illustration in shades of green of a ship in the middle of the ocean, under a sky full of stars. There is a red moon just above the sails.

📌 Hi, I'm an aroace indie author who writes primarily fantasy centred on platonic love! 💚💜 Below is an overview of my three main series, either completed or ongoing! The best place to buy my books is on itch! claudiearseneault.itch.io
An image featuring the three first books in Claudie's series, all of which are marked as having Aromantic and asexual characters having adventures. 

City of Strife is a high fantasy with 15+ POV, all queer, about 100k-135k words per books, has "unrelenting idealism and platonic love in the face of cruelty".

Baker Thief is a fantasy with dual POV, is 105k words long, and is "Québec-inspired, has puns, and romance tropes made platonic".

Awakenings is high fantasy, has a single POV, novellas are 25k-30k, and is a queer found family road trip with games.

First chapter of a new ofmd fic that I’ve been pondering for a little while now: archiveofourown.org/works/622635... I’m going to try and make this one sort of quick and scrappy (a bit like robin!Stede) because I think that’ll make a nice change from Constellationism. If you give it a go, thank you!
A sort of header image poorly drawn by me. It says ‘Wingman’ in a scribbly style and there is a drawing of a robin.

So yeah, that was a lot and probably much more generalized and not so much focussed on the specific character. 😅 Tell me if you can see any of those things, or if you feel like there is a lot that cannot be explained by this. It's just that I am thinking about this sometimes especially with webtoon

kentern.bsky.social @kentern.bsky.social · 21/12/2024
And about all of that: I think especially in the queer and neurodivergent realms all of us have lived through that kind of hurt and partly trauma. And a lot of us have not had the chance to properly heal. And thus things can get taken harder and arguments are made way more heatedly.

kentern.bsky.social @kentern.bsky.social · 21/12/2024
...away from it for a sec and think about them as characters and a story and people who make mistakes (on both sides). And you just see the way someone hurt you sometime and then seeing a character do something that reminds you of that, you hate on that character for that.

kentern.bsky.social @kentern.bsky.social · 21/12/2024
neurodivergent characters act like. So maybe one character sees themselves a lot in Cog and when there are things that Cog as a character doesn't really get and feels lost in they might be angry at the character who made Cog feel that way. And when it's so personal to you, it can be hard to step...
