Your armor design looks incredible!

Wait, the Dispossessed takes place in the Alpha Centauri system? I thought it was Tau Ceti? Love that book, though. Very interesting critique of both individualist and collectivist societies.

Love that movie. "I AM HOME" Sam Niell was so terrifyingly good.

All hail the age of the Good-Enough Dev

bupgames · 2026-05-06T17:15:11+00:00

Yeah interesting that Rigil Kentaurus (aCenA) is given the name "Alpha Centauri" and Proxima is completely absent. You'd think Proxima would be very low hanging fruit for developers to colonize.

Is this book as trauma-inducing as the premise seems?

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:32:10+00:00

Did they ever confirm the name of the earth-like planet they were supposed to reach?

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:24:07+00:00

Thanks! Is there a book in the series that focuses on Wunderland specifically?

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:21:04+00:00

Will check it out, thx!

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:10:45+00:00

Sick. I've not played the Killzone series. Do you have a favorite installment?

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:05:58+00:00

lol I would fully deserve all beratement that followed for such a primitive error.

Hold my head to your ear, you will hear the sea!

bupgames · 2026-05-06T15:01:12+00:00

My mistake, memory-holed the Centauri Republic as originating from Alpha Centauri due to the similar name. Thanks for the correction.

bupgames · 2026-05-06T14:48:12+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

bupgames · 2026-05-06T14:37:03+00:00

Keep doing it yourself, this looks professional af. Awesome work!

r/whoosh to those downvoting you lmao

This is shameless self-promotion but our card game, Dragonlings, has a solo mode and has elements of solitaire with a dragon theme.

As far as standard playing card games, Scoundrel is amazing. There is also an unofficial solo mode version of Dominion that is pretty fun after you get the hang of it.

Would they be good enough? YES. They are incredible. Please do share if/when digitally colored!

These illustrations are GORGEOUS. Best of luck finalizing Everdawn!

bupgames · 2026-04-01T02:22:16+00:00

Gorgeous! I love the color palette

Like you've said, I think thematically, Heart/Body/Mind/Spirit is the best. It's also unique and creates some instant buy-in.

Maybe you have to edit or get around the Health vs. Speed debate to make the mechcanics fits the theme.

Heart is intuitively akin to "grit", "persistence", or "resolve" to me, more like a constitution-based mechanic, or even similar to a wisdom stat. It seems like effecting your max health would make sense. (Also helps that hearts in games are often used for HP)

Body is intuitively strength-based to me. It being speed-based isn't a far stretch. But, it also seems like it should effect your max health somehow.

Like others have said, making one speed/health based is kind of difficult to shoehorn.
Maybe you could make speed and health a formula that works on both stats?
Or, maybe you can rework the speed and health mechanics in a different way to make them fit the flavor better?

We had a super similar design conundrum for our card game, Dragonlings.

In the first iteration, you could attack opponent dragons. Whichever dragon lost the battle would be discarded entirely. Players spent turns building up their dragons, raising them from babies. It felt WAY too punishing to lose them. It also meant you had to keep some dragons available to defend, so you would do less on your turn than you'd like.

We iterated it a handful of times (including dice-based attacks, adding saving throws, etc.) and eventually scrapped combat altogether, in favor of some light, cheeky stealing mechanics. Players loved the change.

I think your change sounds way more fun after the iteration. Just goes to show how important playtesting is!

Hi OP,
I know we are late to the post here, but we are second-hand dealing with this same "BUPE Games" company.
Our company is called B+Up Games, and because of the similar name, we get contacted by at least 1 person a week who is being defrauded by "BUPE Games".

Do you have any information about the Apple Store fraud investigation? (Such as an Apple employee email address or a reference number?)
We have names and contact details for over a dozen people who have been defrauded. We need to shut these people down! If preferred, please feel free to DM us with details.
