Well… Yeah, it kind of is. A city where you have all your amenities within 15 minutes of walking/biking. Where you have some stores, café’s, shops, a cinema, parks, and supermarkets, etc. All without the need to drive anywhere. Come visit Utrecht. :)

It often comes down to how far you can stretch the inner logic of the world without breaking it. It’s a combination of worldbuilding, genre, style etc. And it will probably never work for everyone, it doesn’t even have to. I believe a story is a success when it made the writer happy to write it. :)

Hello 👀 After quietly rigging Live2D models for the last two years, I have finally begun on the last model for our vampire game Red Kiss, and I want to document the creation process here. Been really looking forward to rigging them ever since designing them 4 (!!) years ago.

For the most part yes, but it’s almost unavoidable to take a step back and actually treat it like a product during the tail end of production. Because if you can’t do this, you might end up never releasing it. This is the harsh reality of running a sustainable business in the creative industry.

Hahaha, I get it. I’m more talking from a game design perspective maybe. I think I can take criticism pretty well, but I am aghast when a motivation for criticism is ultimately just “lazy devs”. I just feel bad when people say that about any game. It’s just such a strange thing to say.

WispRoy @wisproy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
True, but in this case it does matter whether the criticism is in good faith. Because some people are bad at giving criticism that isn’t styled as a personal attack. I think it’s also on everyone to keep things somewhat civil.

The thing about ADHD I feel is odd is that, if 10% of people have it, is it even appropriate to call it a “disorder”. To me that sounds similar to calling homosexuality a disease. It’s so common that it almost seems like a natural variance. Society doesn’t fit these people, not the other way around.

I miss limitations to #media consumption. Having to go to a library or rental place for games/movies. Reading the TV guide to find new shows to watch. Browsing the web for obscure anime on weird websites. Not having everything available was really part of the fun. How to recreate this anticipation?

WispRoy @wisproy.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
People often forget, or basically just don’t know, that narrative designers carefully craft the spectrum of choices the player has. If they can do and say everything, nobody is telling you a story. It just becomes an undirected mess without a good tension arc. Boundaries make the whole thing work.

I don’t get why this movie is seen as woke… I left the theatre thinking it could have been woker! 😂 I mean, it was good, but where were my flaming drag gods? My sweaty Greek soldiers fawning over eachother? I want the version where Calypso and Oddysseus have femdom sex for 7 years! Go Elon, do it! 🤣

All Trump touches gets corrupted and if it was already corrupted he tries his best to try and one-up it in the amount of corruption he can possibly add to it. It’s like this guy is trying to break every record on this particular subject. I guess it’s a historical “win” for him in that department.

It now is an established genre of music too, but it’s actually a broader term from the 80’s. Coined in the Anglosphere to describe cosmopolitan European elites who moves to the USA and were perceived as affluent but somewhat elitist and too stylish. :p

Yes, or just give us ‘Eurotrash’ at least. I think I even identify more with that than with ‘gay’. 🫣

I’ve seen comments on our Red Kiss trailer posted on various platforms claiming our animation is #AI. Just wanted to clarify that all the frame by frame #animation was done by hand and the in-game shots are Live2D. We don’t use genAI @wispfire.com, not a second of that trailer contains AI. #indiedev

Throwback to the first design I did for Red Kiss, astutely called vampdaddy.png. Somehow "Daddy" didn't change much at all, just more refined and a sharper fashion sense.
