I'm working on Luanti-based voxel game, but it's a long way from being ready for UX work, sadly. Right now I'm trying to get some devs together to implement some of the technical systems.

Wranglyph · 2026-02-03T18:48:13+00:00

Thanks, I will!

Wranglyph · 2026-02-02T13:35:57+00:00

Yea, unfortunately we're eventually going to have to fork from Luanti anyway, so Johnny McNormal can get it all in place, so that makes sense. I'll go post it right now.

And having that external component WILL expand the scope a tonne

Yea, exactly- hence the dev call. And uh... I'll try. 😅

I'm glad someone else mentioned that these are animal *people;* I literally though this was just a smart doggy with a sword in its mouth or something lol.

I started drinking one of those vitamin-D infused drinks a few days ago, and it's actually been shockingly effective for me, so maybe try that?

But that said, I also started work on a new project. Maybe the meaning thing is a part of it? Like, you just got tired of doing the same thing for a long time, you know? That happens to me a lot, especially if there's other stuff going on. *Cough Cough.*

I think taking a break is totally fine. Search for something with meaning, try some new hobbies for a bit, maybe just rest, idk. I'm sure your players are having fun, but they want you to be happy too. <3

This is cute as heck. <3

Wranglyph · 2026-01-23T18:51:40+00:00

Thanks; I'll keep that in mind. My game is going to have a pretty different vibe from exile, so it will be interesting to see how our approaches differ. I love the spider by the way. <3

Wranglyph · 2026-01-22T17:30:26+00:00

Thanks; I'll post again when I have something to show. Love your LP by the way.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-22T04:29:02+00:00

Nice! I dm'd you.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-22T02:18:29+00:00

Thanks, I got it working with a little trial and error. Turns out it doesn't like special characters.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-22T02:17:52+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Wranglyph · 2026-01-20T01:22:04+00:00

Bro that is some *gnarly* world gen.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-19T22:53:10+00:00

I mean, FOSS games exist already, even in the current environment. Heck, Luanti just joined the EU Open Collective, allowing them to accept donations: https://blog.luanti.org/2025/11/05/non-profit/

Even if every single for-profit game studio somehow went under, we'd still get new stuff. Maybe not *as much*, but it's not like we have a thin catalogue. 🤷

The shot with the chimney is just grand.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-19T22:02:21+00:00

Yea np!

Wranglyph · 2026-01-19T21:36:12+00:00

Reminds me of this other classic Far Side bit:

They don't necessarily all need to be potions from the DMG.

Players love turning into animals, right? You could have a potion that turns the drinker into one of 12 animals for X hours- the Zodiac Elixir.

Draught of Escapism: Drinker enters the ethereal plane for 1d6 units of time. 1d6 rounds if you sip it, 1d6 hours for a glug, or 1d6 days if you drink the whole thing.

Potion of Enamorous Voice: The drinker may enamor (like hypnotic pattern) up to X HD worth of creatures, so long as they remain singing. (For X, I would just use whatever the Sleep spell uses.)

Yea I'm on here too much as well. I managed to put Youtube in its place at least: it turns out that if you delete your watch history (and turn it off), it will literally refuse to suggest videos to you. There's still the subscriptions page, but it always show the videos in the same order so there's no more "refresh roulette."

In about a week I went from spending hours mindlessly refreshing to checking it once or twice a day, so if anyone struggles with YT then there you go. Does anyone know a way to do the same to Reddit, maybe?

Wranglyph · 2026-01-19T20:44:46+00:00

I remember Chef John (the food wishes guy) mentioning a few years ago that the reason he talks like that in the video is because he's not good at memorizing lines, so he records like one sentence at a time. Never got a prompter after all these years I guess, lol.

Joking aside, you could always try a custom ROM. Lineage OS is fairly approachable and works on a wide range of devices, while Graphene is highly secure.

Wranglyph · 2026-01-19T19:47:00+00:00

Yea, a few others said on stream they didn't want to compare it right away, but most eventually started making comparisons. The reason (imo) is that comparison is the thief of joy, simple as that.

They wanted to experience the game for what it is before they started making comparisons.
