problem: no way to quit back to the title screen and access the options menu if you want to adjust options mid-game
solution: "I'm the options fairy, type 'fairy' to summon me"

having a lot of spare time until your game release makes you lose your mind and start thinking deranged things like "i should add an options menu"

I can't add a demo of my game to steam next fest because all of the music is taken from different Castlevania games, which is said by some to be copyright infringement.

i don't normally watch reaction videos but i would watch one that's like "gundam 79 fan who knows nothing about gquuux and hasn't watched any of it reacts to the final episode of gquuux"

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

ohh i think part of what i didn't know is that "play" can mean "include in your deck" and not just "physically put on the playing field during a game"

i liked this post, i skimmed it at first but i was thinking about similar stuff while writing my rpg game design notes so i read it properly just now. a lot of my early design goals were about battles having more "choices" and "variety" but the final design is about more than just choicemaxxing
