Getting slowly obsessed with Minoan fashion. Chest out, no legs, all corsets, full JOJO?! youtu.be/OcrV5hc5k3U

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you

My tendency to have fun with English occasionally backfires. I just made a variable hWidth which is reasonable, however I also have a variable hwidth because it sounds funny. Having both of them is confusing so in the end: hwidth headWidth because I know where my priorities are.

I got to 3D materials tutorial in Godot, saw subsurface scattering out of the box and cried a little

I have a notion page with fun words or phrases to say. Latest addition is: "business, not casual"

Need some leads on warioware games. Specifically weird and recent. Any writing on them would be mighty welcome too. #gamedev #indiedev

10 hour commute every week sounds terrible but it's a nice train and I can read or just stare in the window with some tunes with no judgement or guilt or tempting alternatives. Amazing for my mental health. One night imagine it to suck to drive a car.

Can confirm this ancient tradition. In fact once people developed guns Chekhov's Birth became a Chekhov's Chekhov Gun. Invention of guns of course foreshadowed by a birth of a Chekhov's ancestor commonly known as Chekhov's Chekhov Senior.

Just given a student feedback to check out walking simulators and suddenly realized that that genre might be completely forgotten. Is it still alive? GoneHome-likes? EdithFinch-likes? #gamedev #narrativedesign

I've spent last couple days reading books (a whole trilogy finished). I haven't had this much leisure reading in like a decade for various reasons and I missed it so much. I don't think anything has done as much for my creative juices as this in a long while.

At the end of TA day my tired brain forgot the word sit down and produced sit up in reverse.

I fall sick only twice a year and treat each time as an opportunity to catch up on something I can't watch unless I'm forced to rest. This time it's rewatching Evangelion as an adult. I'm scared.

Five days remain until the price goes up a bit! C'mon #gamedev , #indiedev and #narrativedesign let's start new year with a damn good course!

The year is about to end and you haven't applied or told your friend about my sweet course? Seems like an oversight.

Winter has arrived. The year is done. It was full of surprise exhibitions, grave illnesses, pleasant releases and roaring kickstarters. I have no more energy left to go into details, but here's one last thing to share ....

Interactive Narratives is still accepting applications! Starting on Jan 10 this 13-week course aims to provide a comprehensive crash course into narrative design and interactive storytelling. Plus some weird shit. Apply and Share! allworms.notion.site #narrativedesign #indiedev #gamedev

I was trying to get into #NarrativeDesign & was struggling to find a starting point until I took part in Narrative Fall, which is like a shorter version of this new course. The feedback Zhenia gave really helped me making my games more weird. If you are trying to learn IF/Narrative Design, join now!

Still on a fence about my class? How about a recent talk I did? This one was given for Hands Eye Society at Superfestival and might give you insight on what the latter half of the course could be. Starts around 1:48. Price of the course goes up SOON. www.twitch.tv/videos/23111...

Month ago I finished Zhenia's Narrative Fall course - it was my most positive and creatively satisfying experience of '24. Had a chance to challenge myself delivering game a week and to meet group of wonderful people. Do not hesitate - I signed up for the wilder and longer ride. See you in January!

thumb thuuuuuuuuuumb

Big deal in the next 24 hours on awesome 3+ month interactive narrative course! Learn inky and dialogue writing with Zhenia, you will get a lot out of his methods like I did.

Cannot recommend this enough. I took two courses by Zhenia and they were such a mind-blowing introduction to IF! Plus- this discount is a steal honestly

Last weekend to get this course with a massive discount!

Please check this game out if you haven't yet, 1 year of work and 2 years of semi-regular updates went into this bad boy

I need 60 more of y'all to get my video course at 85%-off so it can reach 1,337 students www.udemy.com/course/compl... consider: -process used to finish hundreds of people's side projects -also how I do my small business products -it's super good -$65-off is exactly like getting $65 wow free money!

This massive discount expires Dec 2nd! Apply to lock the price and exploit my poor financial decisions. I always try to keep my courses as affordable as possible so that even me 10 years ago in Russia would have been able to afford it somehow. Please spread the word #gamedev #narrative #courses

The discount ends in 5 days! Don't miss this chance to claim a ridiculous price on this 13-week course all about narrative design. Basics, quality, speed, and experimentals are waiting for you in January!
