Three weeks to release! 😱 It's not appearing on "Popular Upcoming" yet, but I'm optimistic and there's still time left: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Without a Dawn is a highly unique and atmospheric game that deserves a fair chance of success! ☺️ #gamedev #visualnovel #indiegame #steam

Recently been writing about the fantasy languages in Everveil, and how Norwegian has directly inspired its direction. I love conlangs, so at some point I will do a thread about the languages in Everveil fully. But for now, I want to talk about why I even bother making them?

I wanted to share something with #gamedev before I get back to work. If there is one thing I can offer as advice, both as an always learning student of game design, and as someone who plays games regularly... don't just study what the player is doing in game: Study HOW they are playing it. [1/2]

As I am back in my hometown at the moment, I am thinking about what inspires us. Our environment can inspire us both by what it is, and what it is not. I always thought of what this place was not. I never noticed how much it inspired me. The old architecture, the people, the sleepy port town vibes.

Sometimes the best approach is not the most elegant one, it night be a messy one.

Been working on our UX system in Elemarum recently, reslly excited with how extensible it is. I will maybe do a dev log on it at some point.
