BLANKSWORD fact #7
Lucky-last fact! Blanksword's stand out feature is the Brain-Parts system. The different parts you find in the game not only give you new movesets to play with but it also adds new dialogue! Some parts even give you abilities that you can use on the overworld as well!

it really is... just, people eaten from the inside-out by a destructive upbringing, and eroded from the outside by punishing external systems

"the black crow" especially; that ostinato of "i look down, and i see the whole world - and it's fading, it's fading, it's fading..."

it's so much.

thinking of jason molina of "songs: ohia" and feeling a profound despair at how early his despair and addiction took him

that man knew how to dig in your heart with nothing but words and a voice.

As our Kickstarter campaign just breached 50k€, I want to give a big shoutout to @lucafisher.bsky.social for stepping up the last couple weeks in helping me managing the socials - he's the one running our fanart showcase posts among other things and he's been a very excellent trainee 🐟💙

BLANKSWORD fact #5
Ok you got me, there aren't *that* many moves in Blanksword. Only over 7 movesets with each individual move having evolutions once you use them enough in battle. You even get to pick which evolution you want! And this is just the demo!!

Congrats to @blanksword.bsky.social for passing the funding goal. I made a 3D Blank to celebrate

3D Blank from the game Blanksword, standing on a disk in a void. He is holding a sword. There's a tired, concerned look on his face.
