It's taken three tries to get its hooks on me, but I've been playing Roadwarden for a week now, and let me tell you: it is one of the best narrative games I have ever played in my life and brilliantly shows what you can make on Ren'py. Absolutely delightful lore and character writing FOR 3 BUCKS

Hey folks; I don't have a job opportunity to share YET but: anyone have any narrative designers to recommend who specifically have experience with surreal, fantastical settings AND working with small teams?

There's exactly one week before my 30th birthday, and though there's not been great change this decade, from 20 to 30 I've gotten wiser, cleverer, more cynical of some and more trusting for others, and overall I wonder what the fuck was wrong with the 40 year old guys who were friends with a 20 yo

Actually slept 8 hours thanks to the power of allergy medicines, I am now blessed with infinite wisdom and motivation

Long shot but does anyone remember a series of videos that was something like "unlocking the prehistoric technology tree IRL"? It was on my recommended videos a million years ago when I watched a lot of primitive survival, but I've not been able to find them since

> Play a narrative game just 4 hours > I've already seen more than almost 90% of the players on steam hoo boy

This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

In Spain we have a saying that translates to "Small town, big hell" and it's just always so true lol Looking back I can see why all my friends were immigrants growing up. I could only get along with people who hadn't grown in this suffocating culture where how you're perceived is everything

I'mma be a little hater and say that I can't believe they landed on the most generic pretty boy design for Jinu having so many good ones on the artbook jhfjdsfhsdf

Please check out this cool story created, written, and drawn by Maxi Molina!! Lots of cool characters all fully voice acted!! (My voice ~may~ be in there as well. Totally not biased)

Totally not!Social links part of Chapter 5, translated into Spanish! That means I managed to do 1/5 of the whole chapter in 20 days. If I can finish another 2/5 in December while Alex finishes their first pass of their 2/5, the end of February deadline seems totally doable!

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Save me Percy and Leeds Barbarous. Save me.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!

it's free to read you should read it www.johnnywander.com

please read my comic about slutty wizards with personality problems

"How do I find my art style?" I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get. They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies. This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

Ya boy has been offered a chance to make a radical but tangential career change and, if it were to pan out, I'd finally be in a position to do what I've always wanted: enable others to make their projects It's a long-term thing, but I wanted to write this for self reference

ANIMATORS‼️ PAID WORK‼️ Looking for animators with experience making their own animations start to finish (boards, rough animation, cleanup) for a personal project (not far-fetched related!). Link your work below.

Therapy is great because I can now identify that attachment to others works on an irrational, emotional level, and that when I feel like "I want to bite them" it's just something totally irrational that my extremely traumatized brain has associated with love and doesn't need to MAKE sense

I try to be honest with people who ask me about what it’s like to be a freelancer. While there’s lots of benefits to it, there’s also things that make it hard. What are some things you hate about freelancing? #freelancing

My first singing teacher ever told me, 8 years ago, "let's get rid of that silly vibrato thing you do at the end of every sentence" and I have been unable to hear just how many professional singers do the same due to inadequate voice support since ;w;

:D

Maxi ha sido responsable del casting y la dirección vocal de La Leyenda del Videojuego y es fantástico. No necesita notas, lo borda de manera instintiva y, mientras pueda pagarle, seguiré contando con su trabajo.

Yo sólo digo que el doblaje más impresionante que he escuchado últimamente es el del CryptMaster, y lo ha dirigido él. Denle trabajo!

AHHH Thank you so so much for all the support!! 🥹💜 We hope people want to try making a Guilmon plush . It's not as difficult as it seems, and ALL the embroideries fit in a 4x4 inch hoop!

Still good. Sweet. In that case, a weird question but I know I have a lot of moots in Vancouver - if I were to take like a 5-day trip there in February/March, anyone got a couch I could crash on for the duration? (or at least part of it?)

Hey #gamedev ! I'm available to take on voice direction roles in English, Spanish, Japanese and Catalan With 8 years of experience, I'm not only committed to obtaining the best performance possible, but making sure the voice actors have the time of their life recording too! Contact details below!

Energy and passion are great, but patience will make or break your career. You still bragged to the bosses? You will now spend that hour doing the job of 4 people for the price of 1. Every single time. Until you burnout because the rush wears off and you're overtaxing yourself. Ask me how I know

I only have one piece of advice to juniors: don't go showing off how fast you are It's amazing that you can do in 15 minutes what takes others 1 hour! Good for you! Spend those extra 55 minutes resting or pretending. Don't tell higher ups. You're setting up expectations for you and everyone.

I released chapter 4 of The Hayseed Knight back in February 1st 2023 and this scene only got more and more relevant with every month since #thehayseedknight

sigh roll the Hayseed Knight clip again bsky.app/profile/maxi...

It's been a very The Autistic Experience In A Nutshell couple of weeks and I'm really over it. I need to get better at getting mad for myself. #ventart

"What about [character]?" Yes them too, all of them. store.steampowered.com/app/1332990/...

Come play #TheHayseedKnight , the only game where 100% of the cast is Autistic, probably.

I think I probably ate something I was allergic to today and then mentally disappeared from 5 to 8pm. Yep this is a thing allergy can do to you. You just... cease to be able to think. If you suffer from recurrent unexplainable brain fog and sleepiness it's worth looking into allergies!!

I'm awake like 3 hours later than usual because I went to a meetup and now I don't know how the hell I've ever been up at this hour before, I feel like someone had set my inner clock wrong >:I

Me: I want to bite people My friends, trying to be helpful: you can bite me as long as you don't draw blood! Me, sullen: then vhat's the point hisssss

Every day I translate a little, so I'm almost done translating 140 pages... of the 600 page translation for chapter 5 of The Hayseed Knight! BOY OH BOY WHO MADE ME WRITE THIS MUCH. WHO. IT COULDN'T BE ME NO WHY WOULD I EVER WRITE 220K WORDS FOR A VISUAL NOVEL.

My brain is so fried beyond redemption that I saw the LRT and thought "me and who"

I just had two different "Maxi, you need to leave this town, it is killing you" conversations in the span of 5 minutes ;w; If anyone needs a roommate in a city... I need to run like a hare again, lol

Everyone said I had no talent for art so I got really mad and practiced really hard and I got a job in comics at 17 yo. I literally starved, so I worked so hard that I fucked up my wrist at 21 yo. Then I started The Hayseed Knight and it was so good that I became a writer, art and voice director

I'll say one thing and no more on this: if I'd known how expensive and clunky it is to get divorced in Spain I'd just have never gotten married. It must be done in person, in front of a lawyer AND a notary, even without children or property to speak of. It's ridiculous.

Close enough, welcome back Endwalker Grapes
