Hello! I'm Ethan and I do game design and illustration stuff! I'll probably be posting mostly about those things.
Past and current projects include gobventures, witches, magical knights, and mice fighting corrupt power systems!

Sat down to do an art today for the first time in awhile and OH BOY am I in an observation slump and being real dissatisfied with what I'm doing.

Every group who plays Elden Ring: Nightreign has the following:
1) The person who has played Elden Ring and maybe beaten it.
2) The person who has completed Elden Ring 100 times.
3) The person who has never personally interacted with a Fromsoft before.

Just finished Chants of Sennaar and what a good little mind-stretching game. Really been enjoying a lot of these language-based adventure games lately!

NO-SKIN is a dreamlike, minimalist roguelite about the world's worst apartment party. You're drunk and THE NO-SKIN MAN says that you're cursed now. Thankfully the moon thinks you're cool and gives you a knife and gun.
Unsettling vibes. Bum smokes off your friends then stab them as the story unfurls

I was just thinking about this the other day with how historically fascist systems put stock into technical mastery of art and try to belittle artistic intent.

Does anyone else get to a point pretty early on in a game design and realize "I *gotta* know what the character sheet looks like before I go any further"?
Like, I need to know what I what mechanics players to have access to before I get too deep in the whole thing.

Man, I feel like I've been in a real TTRPG slump lately but the Meat Circus Jam is really igniting some fires in my brain! I've been neglecting all the body horror that's been building up in there I guess.
Also check out the jam! I made the logo for it.
