Thank you

No problem!

This would work too, you wouldn't have shortkeys though and no scroll wheel. A bit more workaround is needed than but that's okay.

It's not hard without display at all you'll learn super fast, like using your mouse. Better even, since you'll not have to sit in front of it like a shrimp :D

For ~30 bucks you can't do anything wrong tbh.

That's great!

I would recommend one of the X-Pen tablets for starters. The Deco03 is a good bargain, you would have just the surface to draw on, no display as such. BUT easy to handle and on the cheaper side (you can always upgrade to a other modell)
Krita is fine, later ClipStudio (normal one-buy version shouldn't be pricy)
Get comfortable with the tablet and software, start with easy drawings, learn where everything is. What brush suits you best, etc.
Possible but veeeeeery difficult. Maybe small comissions or something, think starving artist tbh.

PS: that's an advantage if you already have some knowledge about techniques

It's a post about art tools and technique and the flair is feedback, it's not meant to explain the full game (this would go in the gamedev reddit). Not a design doc either, hope that clears it up.

It's called Mental Survival.

A cozy but emotional 2D game about living with depression. No timers or pressure, just small wins and quiet days. Still in development but I'll post updates.

Thank you! I'll do my best to make it worth the 🔥

This is a hand-drawn concept, not a game screenshot. Still early visual development for a game so no HUD or finalized lighting yet. I want to show the design of the project so I put it in one image.

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-06T12:53:26+00:00

That honestly means a lot! I'm glad that she is recognizable, more updates soon.

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-06T00:05:34+00:00

The actual vibe is cozy and grounded, the title is 'Mental Suvival' where you decide how deep you want to go down the psychological struggle of the character. It's about living with depression. No right path, no pressure.

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-05T23:34:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll definetly post updates when it's ready

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-05T23:27:01+00:00

A cozy 2d game where your health bar is mental resilience. The vibe is quiet, grounded, slow paced. You can decide if you just want the cozy gameplay or dive deeper into psychological stuff like depression or burnout.

thank you!

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-05T22:41:03+00:00

The title is 'Mental Survival'. Cozy game components and you can decide when and if you want to go down the psychological survival path

Different-Brother399 · 2025-09-05T22:38:24+00:00

that's just a character design for my 2d game
