Were you replacing the spring? If so where did you get the replacement from? (Ive got a typewriter i’ve been meaning to fix up for years, but those springs seem to be 100$ a pop?)

This probably referring to Aaron Swartz, who is unfortunately not in jail, or anywhere, because he killed himself. He was staring down a maximum of 35 years in prison at the time

Was that work done by the stats? I recall big time based gates though the “retry a skill check after leveling up” definitely helped that work if thats what you mean (Not disputing, its been a few years since i played)

Yeah, saying the murder mystery isnt the point is a bit misleading, probably better to say its wasnt the part that resonated most with me (though it was very good!) and felt like an on ramp for the stuff that did resonate most/felt most important

Yeah, the actual murder mystery part is not really the point of the game… most of the time but there are passive & active skill checks that open various clues/investigation routes so i think it meets the criteria

Prison Decks. Stuff that just turns off your cards or taxes them beyond belief Karn + Mycosynth Lattice. Chalice of the void. Trinisphere. Winter Orb. Ran into something like that at a friend's cube draft. I didn't even know about the archetype at the time so I still had a blast seeing it work.

Dungeon. I really need to get back to this and make more tiles and scenes :D
3D render of a tiny dungeon that appears to be made of plasticine or clay. There's a couple of goblins and slimes, scattered golden coins, spike tiles, torches and plants.

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...
A shot of an eggplant-shaped samurai helmet sitting on a wooden stand in a museum display case. It's made of darkened metal and has gold trim and accents.A closeup shot of some buttons, fasteners, and ties on a small section of a samurai armor set's front chest plate. There are various ornate patterns, complex knots, and overlapping pieces.A closeup shot of the thumb and forefinger of a European steel gauntlet inlaid with gold. It has bronze rivets and a white leather glove under the overlapping finger armor pieces.A closeup shot of an extremely ornate double barreled shotgun's firing mechanism and trigger. The hammers are shaped like squirrels holding nuts and there is floral filigree everywhere.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!
Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024

By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved

With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1

For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)

And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2

Because sometimes people need to hear this: If you want to make some art, just make it. If you're worried it's going to be bad, that's fine. Make bad art just because you want to try. You don't have to show it to anyone if you don't want to. You don't have to finish it either! Just do it for fun!

“From scratch” can include a wide range of approaches, what do mean exactly? in my case, ive rolled my own engine in c++ with some libraries compiled in. i started by following along with handmade hero, the early stuff is more generally applicable

Host is done so my progress now is: Units: 5/6 Necromancer Upgrades: 15/20 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #maleghast
Several units are arranged on an isometric tile based level.  The units are black and white with splashes of green. One unit, a half melted monstrosity (The Rotten unit type) is targetting another unit, a hunched figure covered in rats (The Host unit type).

I keep seeing people make these game dev starter packs, so I decided to make a solo dev starter pack, especially since we don't actually have a solo dev feed. If you make games mostly by yourself (say 80% or so), let me know and I can add you to the pack. go.bsky.app/J9yPvq8 #gamedev #indiegamedev

Just a cat and her pumpkins #art
a painting of a black cat with big round eyes sitting in a pumpkin patch. in the background we can see a countryside landscape with fields and a small cottage. there are chickens in the grass nearby and a wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins with a black cat sleeping on them. there's also a black cat in front of the house door in the distance. the color palette is warm oranges, pinks, yellows and muted greens.
