Hi I do art mostly but also do games.

Please read my comic, Patchwork and Lace. It's about a Lovecraftian Disney Princess dark mage and her superpowered undead partner hunting monsters and being bad at communication.

What do guinea pigs dream about? Probably not this, but just roll with it.

I don't think the theme is broad enough. Perhaps next time, your theme should be "fun" or even "game."

RMN pixel quilt calendar

Ahahaha that's the second pixel quilt where Hokusai's wave shows up! :D

Pixel Quilt: Logo Edition!

OK, officially claiming K since nobody cried out in protest at my taking it.

ETA: Done! That was hella fun!

RMN pixel quilt calendar

Neat! :D

Yay March is getting more squares!

WYRM WARRIORS! The Legend Must Go On!

Please volunteer your characters if this sounds like fun! If I don't get enough volunteers, I'll decide the missing positions in the lineup by myself. Thanks everyone! ^_^


I'll volunteer Jolanta for either position. She's healytank, so IDK if she'd be good for a starting character, but she's def. down with destroying the baddies!

[Poll] M.O.G. Multipart Event - pared down?

author=Addit
It’s a good idea on paper, though, but I feel that this might be something targeted towards more of the experienced / veteran members of the site who have already finished a numerous amount of projects, maybe even creating some of their own resources for them, and are looking to earn some extra makerscore / do it for the challenge of it.


Yeah, I'm already going out of my comfort zone by TRYING to do gam mak. (Just don't have much to show for it yet because I'm going in backwards. >_> )

Pixel Quilt: Logo Edition!

OK since it looks like the claims for the first go-round have dried up a bit, I'm officially allowing people who've done a chunk to come in for seconds!

Also if nobody else wants it, I'm inclined to go after K, so if you've been eyeing that bit, now's the time to speak up!

World map or not?

author=LockeZ
speaking from a very different perspective, it's also weird as hell when a game has all the maps directly connected to each-other, but then has a desert, a snow area, a forest and a volcano all seemingly within walking distance of each-other


I feel like having a world map can help a setting feel absolutely huge- like, "there is so much unexciting wilderness here that we're just skipping past it, bar a few random encounters to give a sense of what all is living there." Rather like how a road trip movie will only show the cool or interesting bits of the trip, instead of miles of trees/corn/desert full of nothing forever.

If you want a smaller, more "intimate" world, I think an entirely interconnected game map is fine.

I wouldn't reject either option out of hand; it's all about how you want to present your world and what pace you want the story to have.

I'd be much more down with this is the tutorial/primer things were there, definitely.

Choicemaking: Character Relationships

I come from a totally non-interactive writing background, so my primary focus is on character relationship and characterization.

I'm never as comfortable with sandboxy "blank slate" games, because even with the emphasis of "YOU CALL THE SHOTS!" there's always a "right" and "wrong" answer, and no real sense of subtlety or control in terms of relationship building. I don't feel that a total lack of choices is that great, but acknowledging that there's never going to be a truly free-choice relationship system in a game is necessary.

(And, of course, there's never REALLY any such thing as a blank slate character, because a writer is going to include and exclude certain options just by inherent human bias.)
