Community Spotlight Interview: myformerselves
Those who dance appear mad only to those who can’t hear the music. Or as Rumi said it,
"You believe he is insane
because the music he dances to
cannot be grasped by your ears."

It's a good variant to play against veteran chess players. Swings some additional luck into the match :p.

Middens Review
There's a large number of creatures that plead---but I couldn't name them all by heart. I know the Felis Umbra does and the Unicorn Fetus.

I'm not sure this is my cup of tea but I thought I'd stop in and give compliments to sinister banner.

You could also compare Chess and Monopoly on the basis that they both have instruction manuals, use dice and work on a game board.
Middens Review
The Featured Game Thread
Love and War and Middens are both great choices. I think Middens might better suit the seasonal atmosphere of October however.

when all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
That's a great quote to describe the game. I think much of the meaning of Middens is pivoted on that point. For instance there's a conversation with the gun where it explicitly states that its life cycle is
rooted in the killing of other creatures. Making the Nomad a sort of parasitic host to the gun.
It also reminded me of the quote of how violence begets violence. Weapons create the need for more weapons.
My older brothers are obsessed with the Call of Duty franchise and in that the main goal is to shoot and kill hyper realistic imitations of humans. I appreciated that Middens purposely makes the player uncomfortable with killing at first but eventually the act becomes so routine that the player learns to ignore the pleading of their victims and just go in for "point blank".

Thanks Marrend, I've hidden the spoilers as you suggested.
I was able to beat the game without trying to find an ending. To me it made sense that if you're a masked man in a desert with a sinister talking gun for an ally that you're supposed to shoot creatures to progress. Actually if you walk around long enough you'll eventually have to battle monsters because a hefty portion are aggressive anyway. If I was placed in a game where the focal item was a paintbrush I'd also naturally assume I'm supposed to paint with it.
If I was Clowder though, I would probably just add a short blurb somewhere in the beginning of the game hinting at this more overtly.

I disagree. The chakra point summons are a highly inventive change from the usual party system and force inventive techniques from the player. I've never played a game like it, and yeah its turned based but it's far more radically different than the hundreds of final fantasy clones that primarily compose RPG Maker games.
