how do we feel about cajun applicants

Exactly. This matters a lot when doing slow burn horror but players don’t want to stay long in a boring gray box before the game picks up

I’m finding now that doing a narrative horror game doesn’t mix well with my past “get it running and send to testers asap” mentality.
Sure, I can give players a gray box level with some temp dialogue but they won’t get a lot from that experience. It maybe validates a few systems early at most

Not my art btw! The game’s art is made by the incredibly skilled @jomeimei.bsky.social

Still early but we’re working on a horror game that forces you to work late nights at a haunted corporate office while supernatural forces slowly take over your workspace. You also get a coding ducky.

I’ve been shilling Pantheon to people lately. It’s only 2 seasons total so it makes for a quick binge

If it isn’t clear: I really am just being a hater. There’s no theory behind it

Gonna spend the first quarter of 2025 on polish, bug fixing, and adding new content. I’m sure plenty of features are subject to change (I’m even considering a new art style) but the base is there. Still a lot left to do though!

Saw it for the first time last night and couldn’t believe how many things I’ve seen that were directly inspired by it without me ever knowing. Absolutely foundational movie

He was 82. It wasn’t a surprise but that doesn’t change how it feels. It still hurts and I just need time to know what to do with that hurt.
If you’re reading this, go visit someone you love. It’s worth it.

Please help me keep this sweet family alive. My dono receipt in reply, it’s close to payday (last day of the month for me) so I only have 5$ to spare but together we can do this, small bit by bit.
