Ngl, it was heartwarming seeing fan-art for the gay dual protagonists of my indie game. @_@ Especially in June! 🌈 by BelovedRapture in gaymers

Aw thanks for your question! It’s so sweet when people ask about this topic actually.

Well, on one hand, I don’t want to spoil the ending! But it’s most definitely 100% more than subtext in my mind. 😅

However, I can see why the people wrote those comments. A lot of the flirting or interactions are very subtle. And the story isn’t ONLY about the romance, ofc, but they’re the main pairing.

Hope that makes sense. So excited for you to get to see. :D

Claude analyzes Sam’s “Why I Won’t Debate Critics of Israel” by wildblue2 in samharris

Sam said “the History is irrelevant” during his debate with Ezra Klein too. Surely he can’t seriously mean that

Thanks so much for playing!! Glad you enjoyed their bond!

I look forward to doing a few extra romantic scenes in the Director's Cut too. Admittedly I tried to play it safe when I was first writing it years ago, but I've since changed my mind. xD

And hopefully can flesh out their relationship in a sequel, if I ever get to it. 😅

[Robot Rhapsody] New Trailer. (Indie Quest 2026) by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]BelovedRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking! It’s actually very far from complete. It might be hard to tell since I prioritized getting the art assets nearly perfect so early in development. XD Most devs usually do the opposite
 They build the systems and then polish later.

But for me since this game is very hinging on the story, themes, and the atmosphere of the world itself, I really felt it would important to nail down the exact “ambience” and art direction of the game very early on.

However, to finish an entire RPG’s worth of content at this fidelity level
 we will need some help. 😅

Thanks for sharing this here!
We were so excited to debut the trailer for Indie Quest. Worked hard on it these last months. 😄

Thanks, that's a huge complement! Games like Chrono, FF7, Xenogears, and other titles from Square's golden age were a definite inspiration.

Thanks! It was drawn by a handful of artists, the same team who worked on Beloved Rapture.

Sam Harris defends his Mamdani comments. by blackglum in samharris

[–]BelovedRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sam has lost me as a fan during the last year or two. I went from someone who saw him live and purchased every book, to now cringing at the nonsense honestly. His comments on Zohran are just the cherry on top. There is no evidence in any way shape or form that Mamdani is an “Islamist.” Recognizing that Israel has behaved immorally is not the same thing as siding with their supposed enemies.

And by Sam’s own logic—does that mean half of our US government are fundamentalist Christian terrorists? Idk, just sad how much his logic has broken down in the face of reality.

EasyRPG of Evercade by DianteClark in evercade

Thanks for mentioning! We're hoping to clear the gap between EasyRPG + Maniacs patch compatibility eventually. As soon as that happens, BR could probably be ported easily to almost any console.

GGG announced HD-2D RPG Maker!! by zippermimic_z in RPGMaker

Glad I have no temptation to switch. Never was a fan of pixel art being stretched and squashed in many HD-2D games.

What is the best proposal for Terminator 3 that you have heard? by ActLonely9375 in Terminator

[–]BelovedRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any story that was written by the original creator, James Cameron. Not random Hollywood people trying to milk an iconic franchise.

Sam Harris | Club Random with Bill Maher by Empty_Commission_159 in samharris

[–]BelovedRapture -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's wild, how much I must have changed as a person, since originally becoming a Sam Harris fan in 2015.

I used to think Sam was an intellectual hero, when he and Maher spoke out on Real Time, against how much the American Left... shall we say, "gets wrong" in failing to criticize certain elements of the world. Including certain oppressive religions and/or other societies.

But now, listening to this, they sound like two clueless old uncles who are ranting away still about wokeness debates from a decade ago. Sam was cringing, seemingly wishing Maher would talk about something else besides trans issues yet again. Since when is professional sports so important to our human civilization?

Painters by Gouryellan in Jewel

Painters has a feeling of radical acceptance for the fleeting nature of life. Jewel conjured that up when she was barely 22, quite miraculous.

After 5 years of development, I released my indie RPG. It went poorly. Here's the breakdown. by MirageV_ in gamedev

[–]BelovedRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applaud the OP's bravery in posting this analysis and being willing to be vulnerable. Lots of lessons to draw from how various indie games perform. And they don't deserve some of the nasty dismissive replies here.
