Going by the name of Fin for my artistic endeavours, I'm a musician, author, world builder and (ttrpg) game designer on the beginning of my career.
The last few years I released a few Noise albums under the name Wise 0855-0714. The project has a mascot called Violet, and I decided to create a whole world for her to thrive in.
That is what my main project, "Celestial Neighbours" is all about: games and stories about space and music. It's currently still in the works, but there is much to come this year!
Currently also working on the game "Desert Birds", a community, crafting and exploration based post-apocalyptic, cosmic horror TTRPG for children and anyone else (suitable for ages 10+). It's about children thriving in a world that seems otherwise hopeless.
Other than creating, I also enjoy stuff. Playing video games as well as ttrpg games, learning all kinds of stuff like languages and coding, and also watching a variety of shows, mostly animated.
Got myself a corn snake roommate that I care for ever since her old human couldn't care for her any longer. I love her and I will probably talk quite a bit about her!
I just opensourced the game I made for my gf, I hope it helps someone trying to learn Godot or trying to create a simple Zelda-like game 👍 ✨ : https://github.com/gynura/to_you
I love only-player-rolls-for-actions systems. Something is always happening on a roll, good or ill. There's no "nothing happens" whiffing on a miss. I also love the sense of conflict/struggle it evokes.
What about you? Where do you fall? What do you like?
Kitsune Tails has a release date! As just announced on Wholesome Direct, our Mario-like featuring queer fox girls will be coming to Steam and itch.io (Windows, Linux) on August 1st, 2024!
Re last boost: please do share the @MAMG introduction post widely if you're in or adjacent to the history/gamedev parts of Mastodon :) It's very much the sort of project/conference we should want the Fediverse to be a supportive place for, and I'd really like to be able to show other people in my research fields that Fedi is a viable place for engagement, discovery, and curiosity about the world and its past.
Happy #SelfPromoSaturday. Hi, I’m Sarah a Concept artist from Scotland, I work for Heart Machine, freelance in the TTRPG space and self-publish my own small D&D adventures! I previously worked on things like Death's Door, Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns, Spyro Reignited trilogy and a whole lot more. :) https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/24444/brave-robyn-art
The game I secretly worked on for the past two years finally has a trailer and the attention it got exceeded all my expectations 😭
Please whishlist if you can 🧡🧡🧡
Ahhhhhh that's satisfying. Just optimised the living shit out of my virtual text rendering code.
Dungeons of Freeport SDL version now runs at the right speed. Was an easy fix too.
I'd done the text rendering in a QUICK and nasty way just to ensure it worked. It re-rendered each character every frame, which is adding and removing a LOT Of sprite nodes.
