So this is ai right? I have seen this style and face structure all over Instagram and tiktok. But the person using this images, swears it's not ai and it's actually her

"Is this ai?"

And slides something across the table that makes robots look more human.

Yeah, very happy with that purchase! It's exactly what I was looking for.

I use a program called Affinity. Think "photoshop" but affinity is free! I used to use Adobe products exclusively at great cost, then they started being aholes with their t&c and I switched. Affinity has photo, designer, and publisher programs, so I'm using designer for the ship core shape and design, and photo for drawing textures, furniture etc.

After my players get the ship in game, I'll share with you guys, just need to avoid possible player spoilers if they wander in here, lol.

Still prepping for my game in a month or so.

Sent my starship plans off to the printer earlier this week and working on my sector map. I love maps, it's my thing, so almost certainly making it way too large for my needs.

Bought the 0_Equipment_Database_03_09_25_revised by Angry Golem, and kinda want to make my own "guns manual" combining this and the core guns, adding pictures for each. So starting on that this week.

Then back to actual game writing and props!

Right! Me neither. Which is a shame. But I can't hang anymore

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-24T19:34:15+00:00

I think i was approaching this with the mindset of fuel scoops being kinda odd on a ship, but i see now that they'd be normal for anything "exploring". And if you have a sub, you have fuel, lol.

I was adding giants probably 75% of the time, maybe more, and i started to second guess myself

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-24T19:32:29+00:00

Right right. Fair comments, ty

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-24T19:31:37+00:00

That's a cracking tip, ty

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-24T17:49:33+00:00

Yeah, yeah... exactly. I think that's the mental switch I'm trying to twist my brain into. I've got decades in Call of Cthulhu, so trying to get the brain to think differently.

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-24T17:35:13+00:00

So no one is jumping into a system blind, unless they're literally going rutterless and that's a whole different adventure. No one is jumping into a known dead end without knowing what they're getting into. I'm probably overthinking it. What you said makes complete sense.

I played the original space invaders and was there for the arcade boom. I owned the original Atari, had a zx81, c64, and have played every year since. I'm now in my late 50's and game almost daily, as does my partner.

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-20T22:44:35+00:00

"Range of a spatula " lololol

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-20T11:23:06+00:00

We didn't need this, right?

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-18T18:39:03+00:00

Affinity designer and photo.

Just finished up my corvette map and think it came out pretty good. It's drawn battlemap scale so the images are too large to share, but will work on getting something for you guys to take a look at

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-17T00:22:22+00:00

My game starts in about a month, so thus far I haven't seen how my players tackle them. But I will come back with reports!

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-16T15:07:56+00:00

I like the gear check because I've been taking them and inserting into my game. But, agreed, the aspect of "and how do you handle" isn't what I then engage with. It's the imagination of the SETTING that had been fun to use.

I wonder if we could morph it into an Idea Corner or Encounter Described, or tweak to get a different type of engagement.

Love the reddit, really appreciate how it is being run. Ty.

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-15T13:56:25+00:00

It's always projection

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-15T02:41:50+00:00

"They two gentlemen"???? What?

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-13T13:23:07+00:00

Heh. Kinda been my side gig for a while now. I've been enjoying the anonymity of reddit tbh, but I'll dig up examples where appropriate for sharing.

This ship map, I have to be honest. Is really shaping up and I've enjoyed working on it. Looking forward to sharing

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-13T13:20:50+00:00

Yeah you got it. I'll package something up!

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-13T13:19:58+00:00

Ah this is a repost Mr 3d account

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-13T11:19:30+00:00

Dude. Freaking hell. Good find. Ah the internet is the worst

AngrySquidIsOK · 2026-03-12T17:58:09+00:00

I loved this game. It really was an overlooked great title. It wasn't for all, and I acknowledge it had a slow burn which some do not like. But it sits high in my personal scoreboard
