I just realized... I have had a dream of making my own game since I was 7. And I'm 27 now. So....

🎵It's been TWENTY YEARS and I still have no game 🎵(to the tune of that one line in legendary from epic the musical)

It's been a long time since I last wrote on this blog. Back then I had a job, I lived alone, and I had indie video game projects. It turns out I moved in with my partner and this is my new setup, which I bought when I was laid off from the company I worked for for 5 and a half years. Now I'm creating a web development portfolio on my GitHub because I can't publish my work from my previous company under my own name. Right now, I'm counting daily calories because I'm trying to lose 20 kilos this year ( I must eat less than 1800 calories per day in order to achieve it), and I've also enrolled in a 50-plus-week full-stack development bootcamp.

I can't sleep well because not having a job is really affecting me (I've been laid off since January 28th. I really didn't want to continue there, but I also didn't want to not have a job). And I'm trying to maintain a Ballet Fit routine to avoid sitting still. So this is my third blog start, focusing on personal and web development (lol), and food tracking. You could say it's a general habit tracker.

For anyone reading this for the first time, hello, I'm "bandit", 32 years old, interested in learning languages (I speak english, spanish, portuguese and a really basic russian), and just switched from the arts to development, among other things. I enjoy metal music, anime, and TV shows. I'm rebuilding my collection of manga, magazines, and books that I lost after moving so much in my youth. I hope to find more people on studyblr. 💕

tumblr community: made

i made a tumblr community for people who make interactive fiction, visual novels, and any type of game that falls into that sort of category! im not making a big fancy official post about it yet, but if you want in, contact me <3 Edit: Am making this community 18+ for moderation comfort. By joining, you do agree that you are an adult.

Web devs need to understand that adding type attribute of button or link tag is important. Specially when those are in a form. I have been banging my head for this one issue that whenever I clicked on button the page reloads which should not be the behavior. I was fixated on the this idea that it has to be some buggy JavaScript added which reloads it because another library was being used. But just now saw that no type attribute was added to any of buttons, and after adding the type, it worked fine without any issue. 😎

Guys,

Does it look like a t-shirt pattern?

I thought of something for Starbourne as a game. The Fiends could have names, making it harder for some people to bring themselves to kill them. Because 1001 is a holy number in Starbourne, I'm thinking 7 first names, 11 middle names, and 13 last names. That way I only have to come up with 31 names in order to make the 1001 different combinations. That way it's possible for someone to meet two fiends with the same exact name. Since fiends come back after dying, people could imagine they're the same fiend.

Thinking about going a little crazy and doing a WIP intro for the story of the video game project I'm working on. The only issue is that, well, I'm not doing a lot of writing it at the moment, since I'm doing a lot of working setting up the core game. Since I have little experience working with game engines, though, it's a slow process that is as much learning as it is doing. My current plan is to get the game's bare minimum core mechanics done, and then from there add writing to the mixture of development. The reason is I have 0 experience writing a script for a game, so I need to have a basis to work with and experiment how to incorporate the story. Things like "how long should dialogue be," "how often should a cutscene play," "how long are the item descriptions," "how much can I show using animation or environmental storytelling that I don't have to explicitly say." I cannot overstate how excited I am to tackle these questions, but I also recognize it's going to be some time until I get to that point. And until then, any actual snippets will be sparse at best.

To be clear, this is going to remain a writeblr and not a codeblr/devblr (?), so I won't delve too much into the game as a whole. I'm just not entirely sure if I should hold off on introducing the WIP of the wtory until a little later.

If you ever take a look at some of your old work and cringe because my god how did I not notice how bad this was, then that's a good thing, because it means you're getting better at whatever it is you're doing.

Send me things you would like me to include in my indie game.

Either reply, reblog, or ask, it doesn't matter.

Things that will be included regardless:

Game will take place in the future, in an alternate universe to my story, Starbourne.

The game will feature a space-time wizard's apprentice as the protagonist.

The protagonist's objective will be to save his brother from a monster who may or may not be a minion of Teneber, the main villain of Starbourne.

There will be turn based combat, friendly NPCs, and little quests, but I want this to be the Undertale to Starbourne's Deltarune, so it should be small.

Things I might consider adding:

Your OCs

Headcanons for my OCs (since the game is an AU, after all)

Fictional planets (though Saturn Robe will have a lot less planet hopping than Starbourne due to how small it will be)

Enemy types (I may tweak them a tad so they fit in my multiverse)

Things I will NOT add:

NSFW art

Copyrighted characters

Your takes on religion (I'm an atheist and I will only use fictional religions of my own creation)

A price (This game will be a fun passion project that I will be giving away for free... I hope I don't regret this)

If writeblr is a community for writers, what is the game dev tumblr community called? Devblr? Surely it wouldn't be gameblr, would it? Where are my fellow game devs so I can follow you and be inspired by your process?

If I Lost My Memory, What Would You Tell Me?

Based on that TikTok trend

Lucifer

"That would be troublesome. I refuse to picture a world where you aren't aware of how I feel about you. I suppose it can't be helped, I'd just have to remind you, and keep reminding you until it's burned into your very soul. Never forget how I adore you, MC."

Mammon

"I'd remind you of the 2k Grimm you owe me." I don't owe you any Grimm... "You wouldn't know that."

Leviathan

"I'd make you replay Final Phantasia XV, WITHOUT GETTING THE REVEAL SPOILED! IT'S SO IMPACTFUL AND YOU WERE ROBBED! STAY OFF DEVBLR THIS TIME!"

Satan

"I'd read you all of your favourite books, so you can relive them anew, reminding you of how much I love you after every chapter."

Asmodeus

"I'd remind you of how much you love me, of course ♡! Then, I'd remind you that you're a bad bitch, and that you have the hearts of the Devildom in the palm of your hand, including mine, obviously. You'd better not actually forget me, though ♡"

Beelzebub

"I'd teach you to cook your favourite meals. Mine too, but I'd love to watch you taste all your favourites for the first time. I like seeing you smile when you eat something tasty."

Belphegor

"I wouldn't say a thing. You could do with a fresh start."
