GASTSPIELER: Der RPG-Maker – Das Werkzeug einer kreativen Subkultur

BLAM on Pause for now.

BLAM is going to be put on hold for the time being as scope creep took over the project. That is not to say it is gone... But for now I'll be focusing on smaller projects to improve at development. As of right now my skill set will not have BLAM done within a reasonable time frame and I wish to apologize for those who have waited for the project. Things are in the works but as of right now I wish not to promise something if I can't give a proper timeframe for it.

30 Under 30: Small Indie Teams Making Big Waves With ID@Xbox

Making games is hard. Making great games is harder. But making great games with less than thirty people is unfathomable. Which is why The Indie Informer teamed up with ID@Xbox to laud thirty indie creators who decided to take on the impossible.

With ID@Xbox — an initiative helping independent developers self-publish on Microsoft’s console — offering opportunities like the empowering Developer Acceleration Program and recently announced spotlight Indie Selects, Team Green has been building an impressive ecosystem for gaming’s greatest smaller-scale gems.

COMING NOV 22 - CATS KNOW THINGS

CATS KNOW THINGS is a light-hearted game meant to tell a humorous story of intrigue, all while pretending to be a very nosy cat. 

But you are no ordinary cat.

You are a very special feline who, through some magic you cannot explain, can communicate with your human, an individual who wishes to make their mark in society by any means necessary. The two of you decide to start a society page, (a very fancy type of tabloid newspaper dedicated to a particular location) revealing the glitz, glamour, and inner turmoil of the town’s most notable individuals. 

As the cat you will travel across town, using your stealth and wiles to listen in on the most intimate conversations and encounters. At the end of the day you return to your human to relay to them all the town’s salacious gossip for the society page. The goal is to prepare 6-8 items for the newspaper before your human sends them to the presses for the week.

CATS KNOW THINGS will be available on our Itch.io store at 9am PST on November 22!! Please reblog to get the work out! We're really excited to share this game with you!

So... 90s Kon's nightmare in YJ98 01??

Confusing. I've read a bit of Kon's 90s solo comics as well... but maybe I just don't get it?

Pls someone who's read Kon's 90s comic solo chime in. LIKE HELP.

it's supposed to be considered horrifying to Kon! He wakes up with a scream AND the box narrator is like, "The horror..." but I can't really see how this... would be horrifying in a meaningful way?

Im gonna TRY, but... it's not gonna be good.

Kon's back abruptly bursts out with fiery wings as he flies around metropolis alongside Superman.

He exclaims in confusion, only for Superman to chastise him.

It was inevitable, Superboy. That's what happens when you're so holier than thou...

....

So. According to nightmare Superman, Kon's fear is connected to being holier than thou. In comparison to who? And in what way? How does he try to prevent that fear???

And how are the wings a representation of fear? Is it using Icarus imagery? Or phoenix imagery?

It being icarus imagery is a lil weak...Because the wings are made of fire, not ON fire or melting from fire. But if it is,

Rather than a nightmare, it feels more like a weird dream for Kon but foreshadowing for the readers, especially when compared to Bart and Tim's nightmare.

With Icarus symbolism combined with the "holier than thou" expression: Kon is PLENTY prideful. He tends to think that his way is best, especially when it comes to what he considers "his specialty" when he deals with aliens and metas.

This is kept up throughout the next issues until the Apokolips—where his pride and ambition ARE LITERALLY his and his team's downfall via planetary crash. (Superboy 91, his letter to Sterling hurts so much, don't look at me)

So maybe his fear comes from confusion? Because he doesn't understand yet what this means for him.

Still... would that merit the narrator box to say, "the horror" and have Kon waking up in sweat with a shout in the next panel? CLEARLY, this dream stuff caused him horror!

Young Justice

Although... I guess his expression could also convey some confusion.

The phoenix imagery is shaky too, but maybe this one is more about his own fear of his place in the world?

He doesn't even have his own actual name yet. I'm referring to him as Kon right now, but at this time... he hasn't even been given that name yet! And in-universe, he's been in the outside world for at LEAST a year now.

He can't even age any older with him being stuck at 16.

Even more...

With pheonix being symbolism for the natural cycle of life and death... at times representing a break in that cycle by also being a symbol for immortality...

Maybe this is alluding to that one scene in "Mother of all Battles" where he half dreams slowly becoming alone with even his shadow leaving him. There he quotes peter pan, "to die would be an awfully big adventure." (Don't look at me I'm so sad)

He came to be as a replacement in the case of Clark's death. He was supposed to be the second stage of Superman, the one that comes after Clark kicked it. But Clark is alive, and Kon is here. He was Superman for a little bit, but now he'll never fulfill the purpose of a new reinvented Superman leaving him stranded outside the natural cycle of life and death, doomed to never age or change.

So what happens to someone like him stuck in limbo? What happens if he develops this holier-than-thou attitude that will keep him from relating to those around him when his existence is already SO out of the ordinary?

He'll burn. He'll be betrayed by his own attitude that is slowly becoming more and more isolating.

All that being said...

None of it FEELS RIGHT? Pull any thread here, and it ALL comes undone.

And I know it's just a comic and writing slips a lot, but I want a through line for Kon's character development in my brain. The closest to that though, would be him outgrowing his pride, i guess? I didnt read core four's Titans run fully or the issue where he dies, so I know I'm missing things here.

He seems much more careful and subdued after Apokolips, but I'm not sure if that carries into Titans/the Superboy Prime deatg.

TLDR: I dont get what Kon's nightmare means. Help.

Some more characters! For today, Athan (⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙)

♰ 𝓦𝖍𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖍𝖊𝖑𝖑 𝖎𝖘 𝓐𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓 ♰

I did speak before abt Athan but not much, so u probably don't know shit abt him (especially if ur seeing this from a repost).

But who is he in the first place? Well, Athan is one of the characters of my game Via Cruxit: Beyond Altar (currently in development, expecting a demo soon!)

He's quiet, calm and looks pretty harmless. After all he's not that strong. In fact he looks weaker than what he should be and you'd swear that he has some health issues.

(old art of him, both pics.)

And also, what the hell is someone this young doing in a place like this by himself? Well, quite obvious right. He must be just as brainwashed as the rest, I suppose? He does stand out too much tho.

♰ 𝓦𝖍𝖆𝖙'𝖘 𝖚𝖕 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖍 𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖘? ♰

Well +_+ His clothes are so extravagant and he's always well-dressed. Well, must be bcs he's expecting death soon, might aswell die looking ur best! (⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙)

(thats just a speculation, uve got no clue why tf he's dressed like that.)

ANYWAYS NO MORE BULLSHIT! Thanks for reading lmk what u think +_-

someone make this mf to cut his hair.
