Play this game it’s really cool!!!!

Friendship Test’s demo is out!

Follow a little robot built to be an expert on friendship as they travel an abandoned laboratory and help other robots (and experiments) with their friendship troubles as they look for their own mysterious objective.

Friendship Test is a narrative-focused RPG maker game made quite literally for me to test out how to make videogames, but developed into a bigger story that I really wanted to tell. It’s a game very inspired by games that I love, like Undertale. It’s obviously not as good as that game, but you can tell it’s made by someone that really likes that game.

The demo is only a small part of a bigger story that focuses a lot on aspec themes, from aromanticism to lovelessness, as well as neurodivergency. These topics are explored later in the game, the demo sets up the universe, characters and overall story more than the themes, although there are hints. You do not need to be an expert on aspec topics to play this game though, I hope it’s fun either way.

I have been working on this game since April 2024, a lot of progress has been made but there is still a lot to be done too. However, I wanted to at least release the first two hours of the game for now! If the development goes well, the full game release could happen later this year as well.

FT was fully tested to be playable on Windows, files for other platforms are available but not tested. Check the itch.io page for visual and content warnings.

Thanks for reading and play the demo today!

Advice for people who are new to tumblr

whenever you say hi to someone next door, make sure you’ve never ever seen them before, because we don’t say hi to people that we know. to the people we’ve alrеady met, we say hi-ho

the tuna fish here is beyond belief; we catch those tuna from the place right there, it’s a private little reef. they taste real good but don’t eat too much; it’ll make you throw right up: when it comes to tuna, a touch is enough.

don’t climb up that big old tall tree: a woman lives in there and she is not okay! I know you gonna wanna climb it, but don’t you do it, don’t you try it: again, the woman is not okay! (and not like “not okay” like there’s something wrong with her, she’s totally fine, she’s just mean. maybe evil!)

the category is: upper-middle class gremlins obsessed with status and power who end up with the inheritance of the wealthy family they’re obsessed with because no one perceived them as a threat (unlike the families in question they know how to work)

gen question, what are israelis supposed to do? where are they supposed to go?

This can’t possibly be an honest question…

[marinastansblog]

Liberals wincing at the brutality of Hamas’ attack is even more smoothbrain when you consider that the Gaza Strip is objectively the worst concentration camp in the world.

It’s the 2nd most densely populated area in the entire world, 95% of water isn’t safe, they are only given 4 hours of electricity (imagine this with the population density and Mediterranean heat), medicine and basic foodstuffs like juice are embargoed. The average age in Gaza is 19 - the old and weak die quickly as their health care system cannot get supplies and doesn’t have stable electricity. More than half of youths under 18 expressed that they have no real desire to live and contemplate suicide regularly. 45% unemployment. Children get blown up playing soccer on the beach by advanced warships. It’s probably the most surveilled and spied upon place in the world. It’s a tiny strip of land 25 miles wide that is regularly subjected to bombing.

In 2018 mass peaceful demonstrations were organized, thousands and thousands of Palestinians marched along the border wall. Israel shot 2,000 of them with live ammunition, but only killed around 200 because they deliberately aim at legs to place even more strain on the depleted medical infrastructure and make an invalid that can’t contribute as well. 36,000 Palestinians were injured peacefully protesting.

Every year the IDF invades Al-Asqa mosque, gasses the worshippers and cracks heads open, and then they leave because there’s no point aside from violent harassment. And then there’s the constant news from other occupied areas of Palestinians being evicted, homes being bulldozed, the survivors fined and harassed. Palestinian olive trees, generational in their age, bulldozed by the occupiers.

Shooting civilians wantonly might be morally dubious in a situation like Hawaii, some place where an occupation makes you disadvantaged and a second class citizen. But Gaza is just flat out a death camp. Of course the commandos went berserk with rage, of course they brought bodies back to parade in the streets - everyone has been dehumanized for their entire lives. Treat people like animals and they might just act like animals once they get their hands on you.
