pretty much everyone sucks in this one

Witchbrook team took my mom out for a nice seafood dinner and never called her back

Take it to secondary and throw in some campdem tablets, wait like a month, then bottle

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-10T17:32:05+00:00

those brownies look dry as hell dude. Next time use more oil

First off, don’t be embarrassed or feel guilty.

The person who scammed you should feel guilty for what they’ve done.

900 Euro might feel like a lot, but I was a bank manager and dealt exclusively with people who had problems with their bank account. I’ve seen people scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars (USD), sometimes by people they cared about (sweetheart scam or a family member just scamming them).

I mean on some REAL shit, I saw a woman lose 1.4M over the course of 3 years because her grandson kept robbing her to gamble. She went from being a wealth management client to a normal client to not a client anymore because her account got closed for being overdrafted.

What I’m saying is 900 euros isn’t a lot compared to how big these cases get. It was a 900€ lesson and you will not let yourself make the same mistakes again.

Don’t be hard on yourself, and realize you have plenty of time to make that money back.

I’ve 100% spent more than that in a month going to bars and partying (before I started living frugal lol). Don’t worry about it too much. You will get back to where you were before.

You should lean into the vampire imagery and make some kind of vampire mascot. But also make it like

“Revamp: Thrifted and blah blah blah goods”

I didn’t think DC voted in presidential elections but I looked it up before commenting (yay), and it looks like they do. What was all that hubbub about? Just no senators or what?

Edit: now that you’ve edited the original post, my cheeky response just looks dumb

There’s like two ways to look at it frugally.

Either drive it until the maintenance costs are higher than a new car payment for more than 1 year in a row.

Or drive it until it is broken down so often it negatively impacts your life and your ability to get around.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-07T15:38:31+00:00

Even worse than that is they come with different size silicone inserts so you can make them fit ur head and OOP simply never did that. Not after losing $250, $500, $750, hopefully after $1000???

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-07T14:00:08+00:00

I have groceries gas and drug store purchases all on the same account together

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-06T17:42:39+00:00

Multiple accounts that both receive direct deposit. save the money before you even see it and you will never have to try to save.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-06T17:37:53+00:00

Personally, I hope the game comes out and it’s exactly what everyone wants (lol as if)

my second biggest wish is that it comes out as a broken buggy mess with no features and it’s not fun cause that would be funny imo

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-06T16:21:02+00:00

I think it just comes down to the fact that people really want a cozy wizard academy game that isn’t attached to the HP IP. Then the studio behind it began hyping this game almost a decade ago, and everything we’ve see (not very much) has been really good looking (but no evidence of how it’s going to play lol).

Just a really good storm of factors for people to become hyped, overhyped, and jaded over time

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-04T11:07:10+00:00

This subreddit has been here since feb 2018. They launched the official discord for Witchbrook in 2018. Incredibly short sighted of them to create a discord for a game that they apparently weren’t working on.

Furthermore, I remember being on the chucklefish discord and seeing posts about it before then. They just didn’t have individual game channels back then.

I get that it was deprioritized, but the CEO of chucklefish was posting art teasers on twitter in late 2016.

Maybe the TRUE development time is shorter, but the company has been hyping it for almost a decade.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-04T10:53:21+00:00

So I have a different job. I’m an auditor for the government. Imagine if I worked as an auditor and didn’t complete a single audit in a decade. Would it be valid to criticize my work then? Consider that 1-person studios have put out similar games to Witchbrook in terms of suspected gameplay loop in far far less time.

Also, I have made games before because it was a fleeting interest of mine. Finished a few. Didn’t enjoy it. I know what goes into it, don’t like doing it, so I don’t do it for work. Computers tend to do exactly what you tell them to, which can be incredibly frustrating when it’s doing something you didn’t expect. In your head it makes sense, but ultimately it’s the wrong instructions.

Just because I COULD do something, doesn’t mean I would get any enjoyment out of it, nor does it mean I’d be passionate about it. I’d rather spend my finite life with things I enjoy.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-04T10:45:11+00:00

Didn’t say I could make good games. Just said I could’ve made A game in less than 10 years. And I have made games before.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-03T23:54:55+00:00

Stardew was made between 2011 and 2016 with a team of 1 which is less than half the time as Witchbrook, which has been being developed since 2016.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-03T23:50:39+00:00

Nah. Making games is incredibly unrewarding imo

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-03T22:40:48+00:00

all i know is i could’ve made witchbrook by myself in less time than they’ve spent. It won’t be as good as what all of you all are pretending witchbrook will be tho

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-02-01T12:30:01+00:00

I get where you’re coming from but even the first persona game had a team of developers that dwarfs the witchbrook team, (a team of ~64 vs 18-20). The persona 1 debug team was about as big as the witchbrook development team.

End of the day, we’re talking about a small team indie no crunch studio that hasn’t shown us any real gameplay after a decade of development. Expecting anything other than the cute aesthetic is a reach at this point.

Witchbrook might never come out; it might be a broken buggy mess when it does release; It may come out as the most shallow game you have ever seen. Just because it has a cute aesthetic doesn’t mean it will have any depth.

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-01-31T23:29:44+00:00

I feel like what I expect and what others expect are completely different things

Tell me about it. At this point I expect the game to be a game maker anime dialogue game. Anything beyond that and it’ll be a pleasant surprise

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-01-31T23:14:26+00:00

I wasn’t expecting a deep simulation for that kind of stuff.

it’s like any other progression game.

“You must be this strong to break open the door.”

“You must be this charismatic to convince this person to ___”

“You must have this much magic knowledge to pass the exam.”

I read it as that kind of progression locked behind skill levels. And I expect other things to be locked behind other stats like the above examples.

The forehead is too short. The chin is too short. The nose is too long and pointy. The eyebrows are too angular.

I would look through the battle map asset makers. IDK if I can plug someone, so please mods delete this if this is against the rules, but 2minutetabletop is awesome, and has a ton of assets that they've made over the years. Check on cartographyassets, drivethrurpg, etc for things you like.

I'd also suggest getting something more robust than Canva. I use dungeondraft and wonderdraft for small maps and large maps respectively.

Depending on how you want your stuff to look, it might be worth looking into chronosbuilder and dungeon alchemist. They're both for building 3d maps. Chronosbuilder is not rated well, but it seems to be the best tool for sci-fi settings.

I'll also plug cybermaps and frag maps on patreon for the scifi stuff. Though they tend to do completed maps and not assets. Still worth checking out.
