one thing I like about Tumblr is, in 2019 I reblogged a piece of art from 2017 of a book written in 2015 and Yesterday in 2022 someone liked it, and this is how this website is supposed to work, I have art made this week in my queue next to stuff from 2014, 2013, 2012, hell even 2011, sometimes I post 10-11 year old fan art from accounts that haven't been active since before One Direction broke up. Nothing is ever truly dead and gone on here, you can always dust off an old treasure and say "hey gang look at this!" other social media isn't set up like that, if you wonder why it feels like The Batman was released 100 years ago, its because corporate media wants you to move on! go to the NEW THING! BUY! etc but hey guess what I have fan art of Battinson being emo in my queue. So if you're a fan artist, writer, gif maker, or just fan who wants to gush, guess what, here, here we're still spreading around old art, gif sets and someone will be happy you made something new in the tag

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone's having a good weekend so far Unfortunately for me I'm stuck at my day job for another 5 hours but while I'm on break I just wanted to share some stuff I've been working on.
Earlier this year I began work on making my very own horror game. My therapist is actually the one who's been pushing me along and encouraging me to chase this dream of mine. She wanted me to start Journaling about the things we talk about in our sessions but I asked her what she thought about using game dev for that purpose. She was actually delighted by that idea and told me to go for it. Thusly, Diary of Broken Dreams was born.
So what exactly is Diary of Broken Dreams? Well, to put it simply, it's psychological horror game with a strong focus on narrative and puzzle-solving. I'm deriving a lot of inspiration from the art direction of the first four Silent Hill games as well as from their sound design. What sets this game apart from others like it though is two things, first it's artistically autobiographical which means that for better or worse the subject material in the game is based upon my own life experiences. Second, I'm not making it to scare people but rather to make them feel uncomfortable emotions as they pertain to painful memories.
Currently, I have a short 30-minute long demo available people can play or download here: https://dreamchasergames.itch.io/diary-of-broken-dreams
I'm still working on some fixes and changes that I hope to update the game with before the end of the month but beyond that, I've also begun work on the game's next area. That area is the middle school where most of my depression began for me, it's a place of a lot of mental trauma for me that I'm still working through despite being 31 years old now. It's not going to be an easy part of the game for me to develop but I'm excited to do it nonetheless.
Unfortunately, I can't recall the school's entire layout from memory aside from specific rooms and locations. That's alright though, it allows me to be more creative. What I'm doing to compensate for that is I'm mixing my memories with the layout of Midwhich Elementary from the first Silent Hill game. Doing this is working quite well and the more progress I make the more I'm remembering about my old school. There's more than just pain in these memories which makes it fun. I've been able to recount all the R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike books I used to read back then as well as all the places in the school I would hide just to read them. Some of those books were really good, I might even go back and reread them sometime.
Anyway, I just wanted to talk for a bit about what I've been up to lately. If you read this far and are interested in playing my demo or want to just follow my progress for now please be sure to give me a follow and let me know your thoughts. Believe it or not, this is actually my first game so I'm very grateful for any critique or compliments anyone has to give. Thanks for reading though and I hope you have a fabulous rest of your weekend!
