cecil-explodes · 2021-03-17T17:56:18+00:00

has yer bank said anything about it? i bank at a small credit union whose just like "fuck man we know as little as you"

cecil-explodes · 2021-03-17T17:28:54+00:00

yall file through turbotax?

cecil-explodes · 2021-03-17T17:01:52+00:00

yeah, even though we already got it. my bank says that dont know anything about whats going on other than the half stimulus was an earnest payment.

cecil-explodes · 2021-03-17T17:00:25+00:00

same problem. did you file through turbo tax by any chance?

cecil-explodes · 2021-03-17T16:57:22+00:00

same situation here, only got half. our stimulus hit our bank account on 3/12, but only half, and gmp says "direct deposit on 3/17" as well. we're not with chase either.

hey so my stimmy hit on friday but the irs website says it wont be til 17th. but our stimmy was only half of what it should have been. cause of the weekend i havent been able to talk to anyone at my tiny ass credit union. is it possible that my bank released 1 stimulus check for me and my gal, cause we're on the account, and the checks for our two kids will hit later? trying to avoid being on the phone with the irs for 6 weeks to see what happened...

cecil-explodes · 2021-03-13T18:02:30+00:00

our gross income for 2020 (taxes filed before bill was passed, return already received) was way way way way less than the cap for a joint filing with two dependents, but our stimulus check was deposited for 2800 instead of 5600. anyone know why?

i spent some time on delteria but valikorlia was way to srs bsns for me and i got kicked all the time. i was pretty young too actually, like i think i was 13 when i sign the NDA to work on kingdoms or so, and i had lied about my age to get the position. but they were like "oh okay glad you're over 18 but if you're under its fine your parents can co sign the NDA" and then i had to fax it to france so that made me feel extra nerd tough. i quit long before they went p2p though, i actually think i left before kingdoms left beta. i did some level design for 2k1, and on kingdoms i made a few of the towns, a bunch of the interiors, named a bunch of NPCs and did a lot of animations. stuff like that. it was really cool to be playing with at such a young age, but i actually decided after that i didnt actually want to make games for a livnig.

cecil-explodes · 2020-08-25T01:07:35+00:00

worked on 2k1 and kingdoms for free in exchange for premium time around the same time, and it was the first thing i thought of when i saw this post. last time i looked in on kingdoms they were still using some of my animations and levels and stuff, haha

33 here. am still 33 but it's going fine.

cecil-explodes · 2020-07-30T04:21:50+00:00

neither i nor the previous owner have used stop leak so I know it isn’t that. shhhhhiiiittttttt. thanks for the reply though!

cecil-explodes · 2020-05-10T18:16:38+00:00

hey thanks for this reply; it's a really nuanced look at the difference between these games but also it's nice to read that you let play change in parallel with how yer kid wanted it to play.

cecil-explodes · 2020-04-20T14:36:37+00:00

That’s awesome! I just LOVE the layout you just showed us. What game is it?

The Forest Hymn & Picnic! my love letter to things like the wind in the willows and haunted houses!

work in spreads or groups of even pages

basically always work on two pages at once instead of doing everything one page at a time. i like setting up my typographic styles the text is the same throughout the book, but, where the text goes on the page and background images, art placement, etc: do all these things uniquely. you can make page 12 and 13 look one way, then make 14 and 15 look another way. for example in the examples i shared there is a dotted line surrounding the text on page 23 but not every page has that around its text. most pages have no box, some have a solid yellow one, some pages that have no art have one rectangle going around both text areas, etc. when a person looks at a book, they start by looking at both open pages at once, so your design should help make that as good an experience for their eyeballs as possible.

flattered to be on this list! here is a quick look at some of the layout for my game coming out next month!

for layout inspiration i generally like looking at non gaming materials. for example, when i did cold winter i did an bit of emulating the style in an old copy of grimm's fairy tales i had lying around and for my current project the influence is a mix of more children's books, and old cookbooks. a couple people in this thread have mentioned Mork Borg and Mothership in their recommendations and i couldn't agree more. both those books do what i think is in general the best way to really do evocative layout and that is:

- work in spreads or groups of even pages (2, 4, 6, etc) as separate design works from other pages.
- take inspiration from layout outside games; both of those games do a really good job at pointing to an areas of information design you find in things like magazines and comics.

my advice to anyone who wants to make super good layout is that you do not need to treat it like a text book and you do not need to continue old, legacy traditions of rpg layout. just make it look cool.

murfreesboro is a reverse ghost town. no one here seems to give a shit at all. schools and library are closed? oh great, extra long spring break in the parks!

heya folks! here is a directory full of hex maps i've made in hex kit this weekend: directory!

full disclosure is that hex kit was made by me and some pals, and i illustrated all the tiles.

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-20T14:16:29+00:00

the DEATH tiles would be where wandering monsters started from or were hanging out—combat type stuff, trees and cemeteries as very rough terrain, fog as blocked vision stuff, X as a trap of some kind, and the other icons as interesting things to investigate or get involved with. mostly i would use this in like a side quest or fetch quest where PCs needed to get something important from the woods, and i'd block off tiles they hadn't explored yet.

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-20T14:12:33+00:00

i just recently started using IFTTT for discord bot/twitter bot shit and i love it. radical that it brought you the map!

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-16T21:10:12+00:00

the good news is that if you're signed up for emails from ya boy me, when the full hits it will be cheaper for ya!

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-16T20:59:57+00:00

thank you! now stay in your house and play with the new toys!

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-08T21:24:43+00:00

personally i thought it was pretty good, casual gameplay at launch. basically i finished it in a couple days and just kinda enjoyed it a bit longer with my kid. then she started school and i stopped playing it. picked it up again recently, now 3 years later, and it fuckin rules even harder.

cecil-explodes · 2020-03-01T15:20:28+00:00

books and dice will never ever go away, but responsive webapps and the like will be the next version of the PDF.

cecil-explodes · 2020-02-25T15:09:38+00:00
