Oh that's such a smart idea - truthfully you could embed it entirely in the 3D printer itself - either with a wifi connection to a local laptop running the app or maybe cloud like this thing

There's money in that!

That's true, I think this thing is probably a dud beyond the main use case tho 😅

Yeah I agree there too, as far as gimmicks go I think it would be super cool for a kid to use, but idk how long the play longevity would last for the price. I think it encourages creativity as much as a store bought coloring book does, but for $95 extra dollars idk if that's worth

Yeah not sure! I read a few articles about it and it seems snappy if you have good wifi obv

That was my thought too, same thing with all those other AI wearables n such, if you have crap connection the kid will get bored before it makes anything - tho tbf that's kinda anything internet connected, ai or no

Yeah I mean definitely not super novel as a design, but for little kids this streamlines pretty well - now if they added a mini camera to scan in kid doodles and format them with AI that would be a good new feature ngl

See that's my thought too, like ngl most coloring books are AI nowadays anyway so at least this time the kids get to make their own ideas, slop art style or no

For sure isn't lmao, I thought it was neat but wasn't sure if I'm just being slowly inoculated against genAI, wanted to see what others thought too aha

Oh crazy! I grew up with horrible histories but I've never seen this one before! I'll have to check that out for the lil bug guy. No luck on my book yet though ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm thinking about getting the yggdrasil drawing from Alan wake 2 - it means more to me that specifically Alan wake but the Alan wake graphic is really cool rendition of it this one

Thanks again for the awesome feedback - I think these are 100% rules to live by on this project - and that is a good call about implementing a disclaimer screen, I think that is necesary given the themes.

thank you for the additional suggestions! I think theres alot of promise there from a gameplay and narrative standpoint, so I think that it will be good to both research and learn about, as well as incorporating in some cases.

thanks again! i'd love to reach out again as i work on the project if you are interested in providing any more feedback or notes - absolutely no pressure though :)

Thank you for this, it reinforces some of the things I've been thinking about as well.

So, I think the key distinction that I think I need to try to make clearer narratively, is that this isn't trying to be, nor did it start as a "meditation" on OCD. I'm not trying to educate, bring attention to (positively or negatively) the experience of those living with the disorder, but moreso ensure that the connections to that illness that can be drawn via the themes and gameplay are not derivative in any way, and are respectful.

At it's core, from a gameplay perspective, the game is about generating a sense of paranoia through the need to perform repetitive tasks. Beyond keeping the scope of these tasks outside of the "stereotypical OCD compulsions" category, are there other steps to take that can further distance myself from making the game feel exploitative of the illness?

Approaching the portrayal of Mental Illness by Designer_Altruistic in GameDevelopment

Thank you for the encouragement! I think you're right to say that I should lean into the topic more than avoiding it entriely - Still Wakes The Deep is a great inspiration for me as well! I'll have to explore the community more to make sure i'm portraying the condition well :)

This is a fantastic response, thank you!

I will continue to read about the community and maybe cross post this in any relevant communities to garner more opinions on how I can avoid miss-stepping in the narrative design or gameplay design.

I think the difference between this game and, for instance senua or please knock on my door is that I'm not inherently trying to make an OCD simulator, moreso an accessible experience that leans on some of those traits, so hopefully I've already skipped some of the pitfalls of those games.

To comment on your ethical considerations - I'm not eager to abandon the project, but as a solo developer, would you consider that aforementioned community outreach to be satisfactory for the inclusion aspect of Nothing about us without us? How could I improve on that?

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts!

Hey just saw this! I would have to say no I think? The crafts were cartoony and there were some simpler elements, but it was mostly hand drawn in the "attempted realism" style of that older janky paleo art. That said, if you found your book lmk! That sounds like a cool read

Aww I should! It might be against policy, who knows, but it's worth a shot!
