In other news, as a little side project I've been working on a #gravityrush inspired #platformer and it's looking pretty ⭐✨

Hey soo... My #witch #fantasy #ttrpg ITMP has been updated! it's all colourful now and I've added a bunch of refinements to the combat flow, updates for animal cards, hunting & most of all how wards work next to be worked on is a proper downloadable list of cards, aiming for 30 as a starting deck

sure 😊, it was quite a while ago so take any specifics with a grain of salt, but since I was using a d20 system back then the probability curve was more of a probability triangle which caused some problems with balancing, especially with if I remember correctly earlygame power scaling and damage

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Promise I'm not dead, just got distracted, ttrpgs are super fun but I miss being able to mess around in a game engine ↓↓ updates for ITMP coming soon with balance fixes to omens & wards, taking a little from the Dishonored chaos system also expect some clarification tweaks to healing & combat

playtests for ITMP going well lots of useful data on what to fix for the next update, SNS too gotten distracted with #gamedev though, making a 3rd person #gravityrush style platformer 😅 the character's coming out really cool tho I think #indiegame #scificharacter #concept #model #sci-fi #gravity

as things continue with ITMP, the introduction of cards for the main slot on the character sheet is an interesting idea I'm tackling 🤔 Oh the gameplay possibilities when you can't use magic, because you're carrying an object of power~ #cards #cardgame #ttrpg #items #mystery #cardcollecting

I've revamped my #ttrpg ITMP, new visuals, a little bit of spring cleaning & it's finally public Way more #occult & solid than it was the #charactersheet is now interactive! If you like the idea of role-playing as #witch give it a look on #itch.io ✨⛧𓃵🦇☽𓁿 kubota-productions.itch.io/into-the-mid...

yeah customisation can really hold a game together for the long term, marathon characters hold zero weight for me other than looking cool

honestly I'm just salty we didn't get this version of marathon, I want to customise my own sekiguchi shell!! 😭

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
I think they started making weird choices as soon as they switched into making the game a hero shooter, like don't get me wrong what we got was fantastic but yeah I think whomever started pulling the strings after cross got booted really doesn't know what they're doing

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
Thinking of adding something like the manse from #cultistsimulator to my witch ttrpg, humans need some more fun magics to fiddle with for the boring folks who'd play as a human in a #Witch #ttrpg Nobody does it better than Cultist sim writing wise tho, idk if I'd be able to evoke the same feeling 🤔

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
they've made alot of weird decisions that cut out the casual player, like no skill based matchmaking?? crazy, even I've started playing less, and I love the game to bits

💯 defo, secret rolls are amazing for that sort of thing, always a good tactic to use a player's own imagination against them

#mörkborg #ttrpg work: Explaining my Sanity stat for the game. I LOVE how Insight works in Bloodborne, so having a secondary stat to track it in the game makes sense. Not shown here: you can regain Psyche by processing what you've been through, leveling up.
Players have a Psyche that starts at 20. They roll intellect tests versus the current number when they deal with Eldritch nonsense, then lower their Psyche by d2. Gnosis give you wide character choices, or you can cash them in for their Value to gain vertical character choices.

Slowly tweaking & modifying the #trifold #charactersheet that I commission from @taliautsch.bsky.social, printed it out several times now it's so nicee having something physical that only existed digitally 😊 Will pop this up on the itch page soon so peeps can have a go with it 🫡 💯 #biopunk #ui #ux

does feel true to me, justification really is the crux of the issue for me at least hard to hand wave without running into Arthur C. Clarke's third law and then it's like what's even the point 🥲

awh thanks, 2.0 is coming together slowly but surely a beastiary of creatures is on the list definitely 😁

A note to anyone downloading SNS from itch.io, I've uploaded the in development version of SNS 2.0 there for playtesting purposes If you're wanting the previous polished version, 1.8 can be still be downloaded from drivetrurpg.com, remember it's free! #biopunk #ttrpg #tabletop #wip #ttrpgdev #rpg

*Crawls back into the light after weeks away* I've updated the #charactersheet portrait to landscape since I'm changing the game from #classbased to #skillbased hopefully, once I've worked through my loop of starting, panicking about the changes and reversing course it'll be out :) Stay tuned!

You can use these lives to keep a character alive in a situation they would normally die in, or accept that death and be able to transfer these lives to your next character. There'll be some extra tweaks and specifics to my implementation, but what do you think? know of anything that works better?
000
Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Question is, if you've read this far 👀 there's got to be a better way right?? Currently I'm thinking about making it so you get a limited amount of irreplaceable campaign locked extra lives. And by that I mean... ↓

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Currently my system uses 3 count D2 death saves, with 3(1s) fails being death, and 3(2s) being a success. Where the player is rendered unconscious until combats end and can be woken by their teammates or can wake themselves. There are ancillary systems that can be used to change the outcome.

Fractals @kubotaproductions.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Currently thinking about wounds, death and how I'm tackling them for the next update to my #biopunk #ttrpg near-death moments are so good and full of juicy story potential and tension, need to figure out some more tricks to inject some more of that into the game, or at least in the early parts.

Some earlier WIP sculpts of the race, once I got the body where I wanted it was mostly the head that changed. I still might want a tail or something, but for now I'm happy I still need to do a male version, but fat is so incredibly hard to sculpt 😅 took me absolutely ages, starting over & over

So I was thinking about the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy while I was at work, and there's that creature in the book the The Restaurant at the End of the Universe that offers their meat to the main cast... needless to say, inspiring so I've come up with a new playable race for my #ttrpg SNS ↓↓↓

I re-did the materials for the Hellion :) red skin really suits them more I think, since I'm going for the whole demon vibe for this race sucks that I have to make all the other models this level of quality tho 😅 #demon #devil #biopunk #imp #red #tabletop #ttrpgdev #notdnd #indiettrpg #demongirl

Coming up with the two new Species/Races for the 1.9 update to my #ttrpg has been a real pain, I kind of get now why people default to the elves/dwarves or weird bug creature for fantasy n #sci-fi Anyway here's one I've been working on, essentially a #bird #centaur, a birdtaur if you will.

I'm trying something new, more colour so I can get across an iridescent drenched in neon aesthetic. Defo aping the #Morkborg & #Cy_borg vibe Blood won't look like blood when it's neon yellow🤔 right? #ttrpg #neon #biopunk #tabletop #scifi #graphicdesign #indierpg #poster #indiettrpg #notdnd

It is a very tricky line to pin down, at least without ending up in the realm of hard sci-fi/super crunchy systems like traveller n the like

I'd like to suggest the expanse ttrpg maybe, I haven't read through the rules in a long while but if I remember correctly, from the books it was a pretty distinctly pure sci-fi setting, but you can still do some pretty wild things :)
