Art Progress: "For Thee, My Kingdom"

Hello everyone! From time to time we'll be making posts documenting our progress regarding the art (and a lot of other changes and updates) of our game "For Thee, My Kingdom"

Today, we present to you the best weapon we've made until today:

THE STICK! (No doubt better than bacon) And also, we made other weapons not as impressive like:

The weapon's art will be implemented in the next update, so stay tuned!

Happy last day of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! Going to do the same thing on Tumblr as I did last year and take the opportunity to introduce the game I currently have in development, away in the woods!

You can read the full post here, but here's a TLDR for tumblr: away in the woods is going to be a non-combat RPG Maker XP game based on exploration and item collection. In it, play as a woman who lives alone in the woods, and spend three days in her life, each 25 years apart, watching as the woods around her change.

The reason I keep talking about this game for aro week is because it's based very heavily on the life I grew up wanting for myself as an aromantic kid who didn't know how to express that: happily alone, and ideally tucked away in the woods. It's inspired by all of the media that made me feel like that was an option - which was hard to find, but always worth it, and intersected heavily with the "old woman in the woods" archetypes from high fantasy. Now that I'm an aromantic adult in a committed partnership, that idea of expressing myself by being alone but not lonely isn't something I want anymore, but still feel a strong connection to. I decided to express it with a video game!

development for this game got a little derailed by Inn Need, but once Build B is finished this will get back to being my primary game dev focus and I'm looking forward to it. I hope you are, too!

(Also, credit to heckosart for the lovely title screen!)

Wasn't in the mood for sprite work the past couple of days, and needed to work on stuff that I could share here, so here we have an Iris ref sheet! Still a WIP, but I've put a lot of work into it so far.

The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handling the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.

Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.

Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.

But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.

My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!

Just this week in games:

- EA laid off 700 workers

- Sony laid of 900 workers

- Rockstar announces in-person work mandates for all employees (a 'soft layoff' that will force some staff to quit, which likely means that actual layoffs are forthcoming)

In 2023 6,000 games workers were laid off. Now in 2024 over 10,000 workers have been laid off, and there's still 10 months to go.

Not to be hyperbolic, but I think this is perhaps the worst year for video games ever if we're measuring by number of layoffs.

I want to make a dating sim. Should I?

I am still working on the characters, but I have no idea how to code and might change it into a story on Quotev where you pick who you are going for, but that would be a mess. The main character, named Suger, would look like a stand-in for anyone to see themself in. We got 15 datable characters and 8 characters done, with only 5 that I think got what they should look like, but it will be updated.

The game takes place in a baking school called Cofi Cup Cafe School. You are new to the school along with the 15 others.

I will start sharing my progress if you guys want me to. So, my question is...

I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.

I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)

genuinely, i think we're heading for another video game crash. Triple A games are continually abusing workers while putting out lower and lower quality games at higher and higher price points. Consoles and gaming pcs are approaching the same price as a used car, for games that take up 90% of the memory because they're so poorly optimized.

the constant grind for new games or new content for previous games is quickly becoming annoying and underwhelming, we already have constant complaints about the new day one patch system every game release seems to come with. more and more games are just endless remasters and franchise sequels instead of anything new.

and now unity wants to charge developers for every install
