I’ve never read or watched any Magical Girl stuff, but I’ve been following streams from the author of Sleepless Domain and random chats on those streams inspired me. This is not meant to be a criticism of SD, I’m just doing some nonsense
I went through my “finished games” folder to make a spreadsheet of how many games I’ve finished each year, and made a graph about the info gathered. Said folder contains a bunch of non-game programs or things that were submitted for e.g. Ludum Dare but were never really properly finished, so the results aren’t exactly 100% accurate, but it was a fun if self-indulgent pastime. One big point of inaccuracy is also that the 2006 data probably doesn’t contain some old things I thought of as finished but never put available anywhere because, well, they were terrible or I didn’t have a website yet to put them on.
I also went and included some titles I worked on but don’t keep in a personal “finished thing” folder, such as Noita or the ancient Abstractica games.
Also made an updated version later with some even earlier stuff in!
I played and 100%’d Chicory on my Switch. What a fun game! It was interesting to notice how a game about painting could to some extent inspire one to actually put effort to drawings no-one else will probably ever see; I guess it can be chalked up as a point in favour of the game’s writing that I cared enough about the characters to want to paint the entire game world (although some areas not on the map got noticeably lazier colouring).
THAT SAID, I did also paint some stuff that I thought I’d want to show others; I’ve posted them on Twitter and Cohost already, but why not here as well?? So here we go:
I’ve been participating in a Stars Without Number TTRPG campaign led by a friend, and doodling about the various things we’ve seen throughout it. I thought I had posted some earlier doodles here but I guess not. Anyway, here’s some art!
Welp, that was quite a bit of stuff. Oh well.
