Hey folks, haven't been quite active here for few months (most probably forgot where they have last seen my name) due to some life stuff. Anyways, I'm doing a little name rebrand from Marz -> Vineta, and I'm super excited to participate in the community again!

One of the things I say at work is that a lot of ideas are only bad because they're in the wrong place, and simply moving them around can make them pop. Think of it like a flip book that's out of order. It's nonsense. But if the images are arranged well? animation quality isn't found in isolation

A quote from Hyperion: “You said seventy million were planned,” I said. “Yeah, well, we changed our minds after Transline’s resident AI read it.” I slumped lower in the flowfoam. “Even the AI hated it?” “The AI loved it,” said Tyrena. “That’s when we knew for sure that people were going to hate it.”

This is exactly how I feel about it. We’re free to use the concept without the organization. I was never attached to the month of November as a way to complete a large project anyway. Yesterday marked a new month. We can do this and find community somewhere else, like here.

if you want to write a novel in a month, you can. if you want to do it a different month, you can. if you want to set yourself arbitrary word count aims, you can. if you want to find other writers who fool around in the same genres and subgenres you do, you can. let yourself be free

Do you love building characters to play in video games & TTRPGs? Does it make you think about how the game mechanics interact with character? I've started a blog series called THE MARKUS PROJECT, where I build the same character archetype in a bunch of TTRPGs: rjlackie.wordpress.com/2024/08/25/t...

You start a new project and think it won’t be *that* much work, and then, very quickly, you are all “but I need to do this PROPERLY”, and, before you know it, you are reading a 3 volume maritime history of Britain since the Middle Ages and have organized a research trip to Wales.

I hate to be posting a bad take from a dumb person but the People in Game Dev group on LinkedIn regularly features this one idiot named Kasey North who is regularly posting stuff like this. I honestly can’t imagine having such a poisonous worldview and sharing it with the industry at large.

Recently did the GMTK game jam after a long time of doing none, it was so much fun and went great! My bf and I both worked on the artwork, and two other friends did the rest. Slavic embroidery has long been a favorite of mine and is easy to translate in pixel art. panzerr.itch.io/crossstitched
A slavic embroidery style repeatable pattern, done in pixel art in red, black and off-white. In the center there is a complex cross and squares motif, on the edges a black flowering plant, and in the corners large red alkonosts.Splash art of the game with the same color palette. On the right is the title in a fancy slavic inspired font (Cross Stitched), next to it a large Baba yaga house on chicken feet walks. a red bird flies nearby and a woman in a white and red dress holds little red flames in her hands. In the foreground an alkonost watchesA screenshot of the game showing the protagonist (the little house on chicken feet) near a border made up of the previous pattern, getting hit with little red projectiles

I used to be guilty of this, but now I just ask myself Marie Condo-esque questions: Is this really needed for such a small project? Can this niche thing just be explained to the other person? Do we really need more databases for a team of two? Does this spark joy?
