Fragments from the Vault #042: The Last Order of the Apocalypse "It would take one caustic winter and the snowmelt of an unusually balmy spring to wash bare the relic of youth, leaving a solvent-stained receipt under the vending machines to mark the last order of the apocalypse." #NightintheWoods

had such a lovely time working with an INCREDIBLE team to submit a game for this! check it out here! litchi-lovers.itch.io/celestialcur...

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Fragments from the Vault #041: The Alchemist's Progress "Beyond the rain-wrapped calderas of the Caucasus Where the sky burials await in their towers of silence, Lucid and trophic, Lie the great salt flats of the horizon..." #PrinceOfPersia

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Fragments from the Vault #040: The Catfish Cabaret "The lunge of the lunar couldn't contain me, Nor the husk of the char had a song to sustain me: What the wild weave of haunts left astray..." #SouthOfMidnight

Billionaires chasing profit, despots chasing power, without ever bothering to look up. Is this all that humanity was meant to know? Every time I play #Starfield to explore, I'm reminded of Carl Sagan's wisdom and philosophy. Evolution built us into explorers, not to enrich or enslave one another. 🌌

Fragments from the Vault #039: Clockwork Cut-Outs "Carousels and wishing wells And picnics in the park, Star maps twinkling through a lens Like lanterns in the dark..." #LuminoCity

One question I keep getting asked by readers is: Which book of yours should I read first?🤔📖 So, I made a short game to help you answer that question! Check it out: clarislamauthor.itch.io/which-books-... Happy playing (and reading)! #booksky #writesky #indieauthor #bookrecs #books

Fragments from the Vault #038: Hymn to the Boreal Star "Dreams are mirrors to alternate universes... In longing, threads of our being stretch across the dimensions Calling us home in communal song." #TheMooseman

Fragments from the Vault #035: Chaos Theory (Palimpsest) "Sometimes," I tell my friend over coffee, "I travel in my sleep. It's late August, 1984. The heat should be shimmering off the canyon, but today is different. Today is the day the oasis comes alive." #PhoenixSprings

A long time ago (pre pandemic) I wrote something about moon-sighting and Islam for a zine. It was republished for another zine in 2021. Either way, I think it’s been long enough that I can share it for anyone curious 🌙

Fragments from the Vault #034: On the Banks of the Wild Dordogne "Roughly aged her mystic secrets, past and present wrought with sorrow, The restless river stirs beneath her, and saps the knowledge of the morrow." #Dordogne

Happy weekend! 🦛 ❤️ Ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology

Here's a location from my narrative adventure #indiegame Future Ghost, finally set up as a traversable space with proper z-order and all, ready for some story and interactivity to be injected into it. The PC skips about on a longer stride due to the lower gravity on Mars, where the game is set.

"They are called the Deserters - a ragtag band of frontiers folk whose unique skills were once an asset to Edgewater - and Reed Tobson wants them back home." - Flipping the Switch: Edgewater vs. The Deserters in #TheOuterWorlds (Comes Now the Power)

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Stories from My Craft III: Shipwreck Scrapbook An unravelling of the palimpsest of time inspired by the mixed media of #WhatRemainsofEdithFinch.

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game. TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️

If you see this, post a skeleton

I've been writing music since 2001. Having a back catalog gives me the uncanny ability to time travel. Nothing is more valuable to me than being able to look back and remember where I was on each album. If you need motivation to keep going, don't worry about conquest. Time travel is more valuable.

"There’s a cathartic process that happens when you play horror games. You go through a huge spectrum of emotions: You’re afraid, stressed, relived, disgusted, filled with dread, sometimes even amused or brought to tears." - Jade Jacson - Theatre of Horrors: #Halloween Special
