sleep don't pacify us until
daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
dizzy when we talk so fast
fields of numbers streamin' past

Ascent - The Story of the World-Binding Tower

trying to think of something meatier to say than 'this is gorgeous' and coming up short

so hello, this is gorgeous

Tristian: Lady of the Lion

oh! welcome back, and good to see you!

Virtual Grappi

grappi... I've failed you

Free Spirits

I saw the 'Before' database image and my eyes just, like, ached sympathetically

penta you are a wizard

RPG Paper Maker

anti-aliasing options would probably be a benefit here, but this looks pretty neat! if someone decides to make a game like Paper Mario with this, that's basically all I could want.

Free Spirits

oh jeez I hadn't seen much of the sprites and tiles yet! this game is really gorgeous

Unraveled: Tale of the Shipbreaker's Daughter

oh, interesting! I'll have to give this a look sometime. there's a lot here that I don't quite understand, but that's kind of a positive in and of itself, you know?

congratulations on the successful Kickstarter, and I hope the rest of development goes well!

yeah, as far as portrayal in games goes, it's kind of telling that people will mostly pass up the prospect of a female protagonist unless it's for a horror game. granted, things are a little more even here in the independent scene, since we don't have people interfering to talk about demographics and sales, but the association between girls and vulnerability is still something I'm not comfortable with. I'd much rather see a Ghibli approach to a young female protagonist -- someone who might initially seem outmatched, but who perseveres through their personal strength.

but that's kind of getting off-topic. I guess I'm watching this with the hope that the game will respect the protag's agency rather than just use her as a terrified-noise machine.

I'm sorry that you don't understand the purpose of critique and mindlessly lump all negative opinions, no matter how well-spoken or well-justified, into 'hate'.

and I'm sorry that you think being a shithead in a cutesy way somehow excuses you from the consequences.

wishing violence on somebody for stating dissatisfaction with a game is childish and awful, and damages not only yourself but the person whose game you're 'defending'. do you really want people to associate this aggressive puppy-guarding of yours with this project?

also, 'gendered violence' is a valid and widely discussed sociological concept. it didn't originate on Tumblr, and Tumblr is far from the only place it's discussed. if you really lump basic decency in with strawman social justice, you gotta read a book or something.

and hey, PM.

you remember when we said this game had certain elements in it that, intentional or not, would attract gross, venomous people?
