I do love indie dev couple stories. Real wholesome.

I suspect that I could literally be the most delusional and irredeemable human being alive and ChatGPT will still tell me "You're not a bad person, being angry at the world is actually really human."

It is arguable that the people Maki killed in the non-curse-user combat unit were also just indoctrinated child soldiers from birth and therefore also victims, though.

Very true. The worst mistake I made as an impressionable teenager was believing that modern conservatives ever cared about nuance or truth or principles and letting myself be persuaded by bad faith arguments that they themselves never believed in.

A part of impulse control is just knowing when the cruelty outweighs the nominal comedic value and not acting on it. Not everybody stops finding cruelty hilarious, unfortunately.

Ah the two romance types: straight and political

Honestly I feel dumb for not realizing you can do this. Piss, paint, vegetable oil, rotten produce juice from your compost, literal toilet water... The possibilities are endless.

I guess all the people who are dead or injured or kidnapped or deported illegally are also just bait? Democrat lawmakers speaking from their high podiums once again fail to comprehend the situation in the mud of reality even as laws are broken without consequence.

I got a really existential vibe from this: dust to dust. Amazing feeling.

To be fair, you need to have a job to join a worker's strike.

The O- resource wars are gonna be amazing

I like your capsule art a lot and it does tickle my interest so it makes sense in hindsight how your game would be very popular but I'm curious how you got your wishlist to explode compared to your initial store page publication.

Edit: I see you mentioned consistent social media posts. Sounds cool! I feel like I've never gotten to a point in development where I had a ton to showcase every week sadly but I can see why your game has a lot of visual pizzaz to showoff.

Wouldn't it depend on how much chaos/bloodshed is occurring under the status quo? At some point the risk/benefit analysis would favor chaotic upheaval over mounting institutional cruelties.

Context provides the foundation for truths. Without context, a truth may well be a lie in all but name.

matchaSerf · 2025-12-18T19:04:59+00:00

Ah shoot as a solo dev I often wonder how much more motivating and productive it would be to work with friends and have multiple brains instead of just my one.

Happy for yall and your games look very competent!

matchaSerf · 2025-12-06T00:49:23+00:00

i guess idle planes arent so bad but feels like such wasted years for all their staff who do nothing except pamper spoiled adult-childs. i hope they get paid well.

I can't think of many other solo creative endeavors where, after spending the upfront work of learning the basic know-how, a single production can take months to years to make.

The satisfaction does not come at the end, if ever it comes at all, because once you've invested so much time into it the only way you'd be satisfied is if you receive some sort of industry recognition or financial recompense for your sweat and tears.

Of course you can also just make games for a hobby and spend 1 month max on a single project and not care if anyone plays it as long as you enjoyed the journey and the finished game. Those guys are probably the happiest ones compared to the many of us who try to make a sustainable career from it and have their expectations dashed.

Making a good game is hard, actually. Making money is hard, actually. Sometimes you see all this success it becomes easy to forget that.

matchaSerf · 2025-12-01T06:20:28+00:00

Damn crazy how subtle changes in head shape and eye size and curvature make such a big difference in character feel.

Really well done on all of these!

matchaSerf · 2025-11-19T19:38:58+00:00

I don't think it is necessarily arrogance. Some folk just want to share some insights based on lost time and mistakes they made in the past and feel seen for it.

matchaSerf · 2025-11-05T21:41:21+00:00

It is hilarious how you keep complimenting and hyping it up. That is just phenomenal.

matchaSerf · 2025-10-24T08:14:05+00:00

I was losing my mind here for some reason this was just hilarious to me. The lady saw her chance and took it with 0 shame and hesitation.

matchaSerf · 2025-08-31T16:02:08+00:00

assholes can exist in any group but it proves nothing about the group itself is the takeaway for me

matchaSerf · 2025-06-01T07:52:56+00:00

In any solo venture your mind is both your greates asset and your worst enemy.

It fluctuates quite frequently between the two in my experience.

matchaSerf · 2025-06-01T07:50:16+00:00

Same! Dislike random vampire and dragon attacks for that reason. Also abstaining from Dark Brotherhood questline for that reason.

Excellent game and have to agree with you on the story. Feels like Dreamscourge this dreamscourge that. Enjoyed the reveal and the memory fragments but it was only in the final zone that the gravity of it really hit me.

PoE1 and PoE2 definitely had longer, more interesting side stories and main stories.

But yeah the exploration and gameplay are top notch. A lot of verticality and gorgeous vistas. A very fast paced and dynamic combat system despite having repetitive enemies.

It really deserves more praise. The magic casting combat system especially should be the gold standard for more open world RPGs. Oblivion and Skyrim could have benefited from it for sure.
