Hey, so it's Creator Day on itch, which means if you buy my book, I get every single cent of its sale. If you love big mechs and memorable characters trying to act normal in absurd situations, you'll love In Golden Flame!

Recent events have gotten me thinking about how I've started to call the process of categorizing broad ideas of play (narrativist/gameist/simulationist to name a few) as "Gamer Astrology" or "Gamer Phrenology" if i'm being unkind.

I think these labels suck and are not useful

My name is John Sega and let me tell you about how you’ll need to buy my epic new "fixed" game now

Do you want unnecessary cutscenes that add nothing to the game beyond a bit of fluff and they look out of place too? That new version is for you then

If you find an indie game you like, PLEASE talk about it on social media. You can make a developer go from being completely unknown to actually able to make money just by spreading the word.
The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.

It can literally be a life changing events.

When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

The Bullet Dancer focuses on area denial thanks to its unique mechanic: placing delayed AOEs which only go off when it starts its next turn, better start matching its tempo if you don't want to be riddled with bullets.

Something I think gets missed is that because the choice of sparing is there, the game forces you to confront making a choice, you cannot simply say you picked execution for optimization reasons, that's now a character choice, they now both have narrative weight and resonance, ideally.
can't believe i have to point to the sign in CAIN all the time lol

I don't know if this is just my perception but sometimes it feels like it's getting harder over time to communicate subtext through games. Too many nerds are so brain-broken by hypercapitalist "efficiency" grindset shit that they become incapable of questioning the systems they live within
writing an important and tense point of character decision making into the game only to have people dismiss the empathetic option as pointless, thereby completely affirming the entire point of this decision being in the game.

the first public version of my maps are in there, you can find them as the ones made by dunya.kat
Enjoy and don't forget to tell me how they felt in play, they're only instant action for now.

Also wow its a map design kinda day for me isn't it.
New Lancer Tactics build!

Highlights:
- First pass of *all* NPCs classes, sans optionals
- Upload and download other player's maps via an in-game mod.io modal
- Got mac & linux builds working again

Adding to that a very different part of this made making these even harder, and its a simple "most people don't really pay attention to tactical maps much at all" in terms of feedback.

You can have tons of feedback on narrative, mechanics heck even encounter NPCs, but maps? Rarely
Having discussions and thinking about it, and I am not joking when I say that I think the maps for Shadow of the Wolf remain the best TTRPG maps I have ever seen bar none. I'm serious.

Now, you might be thinking "oh what about X map artist" or "these OSR dungeons were cool". Stay with me on this.
