    After a few years of silence, I want to share two current screenshots of my long time work-in-progress C64-styled RPG "Albareth".
    It's going to be a party-based roguelike skirmish battler, in which you free procedurally generated islands from evil. I use Unity for development, because I'm not skilled enough to program on a real C64. Please expect no release in the near future. :)

    Screenshot of a partly explored world map. The yellow arrow denotes the position of the party (currently in the village). On the edge of the explored area you can spot two dungeons waiting to be explored.

    Have you used Motif? Tell me about it!
    I wanna hear about it all. Your solo plays. How you use it for low prep GMing. The ways it influenced or formed mechanics in your indie games. All of it!
    I love hearing about where people take Motif.

    I'm almost finishing my demo and the game landing page, so I want to gather some overall feedback on the idea itself (since demo is not finished)

    The game is a real-time strategy game using cards PvP, the federate part, relates most of giving the players the possibility to create their own cards and servers, and of course, playing across different servers

    Boosts are appreciated

    Playtesters loved the pregen character blocks in the "playset" in the coming new edition. Everything in condensed format with RP and play hooks. There's also some explicit guidance on how to play or approach things. What do you think?

    Deacon #8: Malavio  Name: Malavio Mistendi  Nature: Unhappy (Corrupt)  Skills: Mastered (Performer, Inventor). Focused (Bruiser, Explorer, Trickster). Unfocused (Defender, Talker, Fixer).  Stones: Favor 3, Secrets 2, Instability 1  Notes: Blames cults and heretics for their misery and the instability of The Happy Place, secretly thinks Demons and Witches are misunderstood and hold important knowledge, communicates in non-stop nearly compulsive sarcasm.  Ties: They have several friends who are just everyday citizens feeling it makes them less unhappy and believing in the importance of remaining in touch. But the same friends are often unnerved by Deacons and can be demanding.
    Deacons Deacons embody the lay priests of The Happy Place, the commonplace do-it-all troubleshooters and peacemakers. They are the main characters portrayed in playthroughs of NEVER Stop Smiling. Often doomed protagonists, but still the leads of the emerging story. Deacons create and play out Deacon characters in service to The Happy Place. They often play a single main character. Small groups of two or three players can have Deacons playing two main characters. It is also common to keep one or two secondary or “backup” characters for when the primary character is “off-screen”, or the player desires a change of pace or perspective.
    Deacons should: 1. Be fans of each other. This is a team effort, in and out of game. You are fighting together for The Happy Place. 2. Dive into their characters. It is how they interact with and experience the game. Characters have passions, goals, motivations. Explore them and their feelings about the church they serve and world they live in. 3. Embrace the mysterious and unknowable. Accept that many mysteries, such as the nature of resurrection and origin of this broken universe, are unknowable. Memory and history are slippery things here. But there is nevertheless so much to discover and much to be done. 4. Get weird with it. This is a bizarre world in a creepy smiling dystopia trying to hold it together. It’s a weird place. Explore the weirdness and strangeness, within your character’s mind and the world around you. 5. Balance comedy and horror. NEVER Stop Smiling can slide into the extremes. Stay on the same page with other players about intended tone and the ideal balance. If yo

    1️⃣ Use of a preferred platform & preferred technology makes it more likely students are more receptive to lessons learned.

    2️⃣ Interactive nature supports experiential, contextual, and discovery learning.

    3️⃣ Especially effective if you are going beyond knowledge transfer and seeking to persuade.

    Reviews like this make the blood, sweat and tears working on this adventure game while being an underpaid social worker in the US ghetto worth it. And yeah, let's make cyberpunk PUNK again!
    https://silverspook.itch.io/neofeud
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/

    Holy 90s adventure revival, Batman. Neofeud is a non stop feast of deja vues of interesting but arguably worse games from the 90s like Noctropolis, Harvester or | Have No Mouth and | Have To Scream, done mainly by a (arguably very very intelligent) guy that is from Hawaii and works as a robotics teacher in a probably difficult place - meaning, what you see in the game are things that probably he has been living there. The best part though is how he mixes all the 90s “cd rom multimedia” cyberpunk aesthetic and how he runs with it all along. And the game is very well written, very fair (for the moment at least) and has atmosphere in spades. Maybe if the references are nothing to you, you will not be able to enjoy it. But that's part of it. Neofeud is a game about empathy, about humanity, about fighting the oppressor, which is what Cyberpunk was about until it was washed out to be the bland neon aesthetic of today. | love it | love the author, and | hope to see many things from him.

    One neat thing about Motif:
    It's explicitly an oracle.
    So you can do cool things like skills start clumsy & tryhard with a high chance of strong/"and" answers, then evolve to high success/yes reflecting skill, then to expert control choosing which die is which.
