Yes I know, I’m late and I dunno if I’ll be able to made the next days, but It’s like from last year that I really want to participate to the OFFtober suggested by @brainplaguerewind

Day 1: Draw that huge ass whale (Here we go)

Day 2: Your favorite burnt (The valzong burnt is my bae)

Day 3: Draw Zacharie with his wings and sword (I like the  headcanon that are his tree add-ones)

Day 4: Your favorite moment from the park (like what he was expected? And then he doesn’t want to wear it like he’s disappointed)

Day 5: Draw The Batter with a different weapon (A mf katana)

Day 6: Draw the moment when you realized something was “off” about this game (it’s not an negative moment, and hearing Zack start to break the fourth wall made me ring a bell on my little head)

Eh, I’m late again for the OFFtober by @brainplaguerewind. Oh well here the second part:

Day 7: Dedan at his office in Shachihata (This man really looks like he’s smoking like a chimney every hours of every day)

Day 8: Japhet on top of the Great Library (watching in silence his zone in which nobody remember him)

Day 9: Enoch chasing the Batter (honestly, one of the funniest part of the game)

Day 10: The terrifying or the elegant Vader Eloha (I choose elegant, frightfully elegant)

Day 11: Draw some OFF characters happy and having fun for a change (Sugar and Hugo have fun reading “Panic in Ballville” together)

Day 12: Zacharie in his shopping mall (what can I say? Every place is good for him to make cash)

Day 13: The Judge with his brother Valerie (they play to chase each other in zone 0)

Day 15: Zacharie and Sucre together (man, I love these two)

Day 16: Draw Hugo and Dedan (on theyr way to rule zone 1)

Day 17: Draw The Batter with all of his add-ons (I like think the add-ons communicate making sounds using the morse language)

📚 A List Of Useful Websites When Making An RPG 📚

My timeloop RPG In Stars and Time is done! Which means I can clear all my ISAT gamedev related bookmarks. But I figured I would show them here, in case they can be useful to someone. These range from "useful to write a story/characters/world" to "these are SUPER rpgmaker focused and will help with the terrible math that comes with making a game".

This is what I used to make my RPG game, but it could be useful for writers, game devs of all genres, DMs, artists, what have you. YIPPEE

Writing (Names)

Behind The Name - Why don't you have this bookmarked already. Search for names and their meanings from all over the world!

Medieval Names Archive - Medieval names. Useful. For ME

City and Town Name Generator - Create "fake" names for cities, generated from datasets from any country you desire! I used those for the couple city names in ISAT. I say "fake" in quotes because some of them do end up being actual city names, especially for french generated ones. Don't forget to double check you're not 1. just taking a real city name or 2. using a word that's like, Very Bad, especially if you don't know the country you're taking inspiration from! Don't want to end up with Poopaville, USA

Writing (Words)

Onym - A website full of websites that are full of words. And by that I mean dictionaries, thesauruses, translators, glossaries, ways to mix up words, and way more. HIGHLY recommend checking this website out!!!

Moby Thesaurus - My thesaurus of choice!

Rhyme Zone - Find words that rhyme with others. Perfect for poets, lyricists, punmasters.

In Different Languages - Search for a word, have it translated in MANY different languages in one page.

ASSETS

In general, I will say: just look up what you want on itch.io. There are SO MANY assets for you to buy on itch.io. You want a font? You want a background? You want a sound effect? You want a plugin? A pixel base? An attack animation? A cool UI?!?!?! JUST GO ON ITCH.IO!!!!!!

Visual Assets (General)

Creative Market - Shop for all kinds of assets, from fonts to mockups to templates to brushes to WHATEVER YOU WANT

Velvetyne - Cool and weird fonts

Chevy Ray's Pixel Fonts - They're good fonts.

Contrast Checker - Stop making your text white when your background is lime green no one can read that shit babe!!!!!!

Visual Assets (Game Focused)

Interface In Game - Screenshots of UI (User Interfaces) from SO MANY GAMES. Shows you everything and you can just look at what every single menu in a game looks like. You can also sort them by game genre! GREAT reference!

Game UI Database - Same as above!

Sound Assets

Zapsplat, Freesound - There are many sound effect websites out there but those are the ones I saved. Royalty free!

Shapeforms - Paid packs for music and sounds and stuff.

Other

CloudConvert - Convert files into other files. MAKE THAT .AVI A .MOV

EZGifs - Make those gifs bigger. Smaller. Optimize them. Take a video and make it a gif. The Sky Is The Limit

Marketing

Press Kitty - Did not end up needing this- this will help with creating a press kit! Useful for ANY indie dev. Yes, even if you're making a tiny game, you should have a press kit. You never know!!!

presskit() - Same as above, but a different one.

Itch.io Page Image Guide and Templates - Make your project pages on itch.io look nice.

MOOMANiBE's IGF post - If you're making indie games, you might wanna try and submit your game to the Independent Game Festival at some point. Here are some tips on how, and why you should.

Game Design (General)

An insightful thread where game developers discuss hidden mechanics designed to make games feel more interesting - Title says it all. Check those comments too.

Game Design (RPGs)

Yanfly "Let's Make a Game" Comics - INCREDIBLY useful tips on how to make RPGs, going from dungeons to towns to enemy stats!!!!

Attack Patterns - A nice post on enemy attack patterns, and what attacks you should give your enemies to make them challenging (but not TOO challenging!) A very good starting point.

How To Balance An RPG - Twitter thread on how to balance player stats VS enemy stats.

Nobody Cares About It But It’s The Only Thing That Matters: Pacing And Level Design In JRPGs - a Good Post.

Game Design (Visual Novels)

Feniks Renpy Tutorials - They're good tutorials.

I played over 100 visual novels in one month and here’s my advice to devs. - General VN advice. Also highly recommend this whole blog for help on marketing your games.

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

evil lesbian kitty oc be upon ye. her name is midnight nightsky and she's a very op sorceress trying to take over a kingdom because her boss (who she indirectly killed by fabricating a prophecy and planting it in a local oracle's crystal ball) was all talk and no action and she got bored of it.

In the beginning of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Peach is cursed to have her voice turn into bombs whenever she speaks*. The bombs cause explosions and shake the ground upon falling.

The prototype version of the game also adds Toads falling from the ceiling when Peach's voice bombs explode, which was removed from the finished version of the game.

*this situation is more complex than it appears at that point in the game, but a more detailed explanation of the events is omitted to reduce spoilers for those who have not yet played it.

"being queer is about love" hmm actually being queer is about defying societal norms about gender and sexuality and does not depend on feeling love at all

The world puts barriers on trans women everywhere we try to go. They want to make being a trans woman not worth it, and they will never succeed. Being a trans woman is the greatest thing in the world.
