i've recently learned that it used to be called "rap genius", and was gradually gentrified by users submitting non-rap lyrics until the site was renamed, which is upsetting in its own way,
but hey, at least the site gives us deep wisdom!
like this (song being described is "still" by black midi):

most of the Blanksword team is taking a break until 2026 begins, in order to recuperate from the stress of the Kickstarter hustle.
i'm also trying to take it easier - mostly not working and doing for-fun art like guitar covers - but i did shake out this map earlier: "Slightly Damaged Living Space"

as for "when" - BLANK's very first drawing ever, in 2022, had the brain outline already:
in 2015, i had a game idea called "radon: a vapor play". that game's protag was a gaudy gold picture frame whose painting was missing, and had to be collected in parts across several surreal worlds.
the visible brain-outline was a continuation of that same idea, of a void as part of a design.

i'm committing the cardinal tech-writing sin of writing the intro before the first actual installment of the tutorial-- but i've got notes, i've got a plan, and maybe, if things go well, in 8-10 months, i'll slap you all with a tutorial on how to make turn-based combat in Game Maker!

i think the most damning thing i've realized today is that this painting of a house that adolf hitler painted ~a century ago (which i have nicknamed "Hitler-Haus") is about on par with a good 95% of all AI pictures out there.
it truly is the world's shittiest picture puzzle every time.

an edutainment and train-manager-inspired game that @emceeprophit.bsky.social was supposed to voice the tutorial character in. abandoned because making a level-editor is rough, + its message lost its strength after i got disillusioned with an author i alluded to in its writing.

sequel to "An Outcry". took place in a mountain town in Carinthia, Austria. a little bit "Chulip", a little bit "Papers, Please", a little bit "An Outcry".
shelved because 2 projects of this magnitude simultaneously would've killed me, and i couldn't find strong enough characters for it.
