"Can you actually use the energy that comes from difficulty to come back stronger?"

We chatted with @jumpovertheage.com on how they draw from their own vulnerability and honesty to imbue Citizen Sleeper 2 with the energy of "bouncing back". πŸ”—β€΅οΈ

No, but the game is playable with a standard full tarot set

Nope just the boxed nature of it!

Both designed by me, with art by @blackysan.bsky.social and for CotE the expert support of @alfredvalley.bsky.social

They are authentic games in the series, with an open structure and tactility you can’t achieve in videogames.

So if you still yearn for more CS after the games this is what’s next!

I saw Amberspire right at the beginning of its life, and it’s amazing to see how far its come. The UI, the art, the vibe is gorgeous.

Can’t wait for May 6th

Deeply relate, this is always the hardest part of drawing for me. Fighting the disappointment in my own work. But I do sometimes spot a horizon beyond which there’s some promised land of satisfaction. It just keeps receding!

That moment in the Greenways really stayed with me for a long time. What a game.

I’ve never been invited! I think it’d be too much work for too few users to put together a game and sell it on their store, but being in a season could be fun.

I’ve never shown Conway’s logo in game, so again, feel free to do your own

In all honesty if you are running a TTRPG session you are the boss not me, so I’d say go with your ideas and your instincts. I’d hate to have my lore get in the way of a good one shot!

It’s definitely Essen-Arp tech but I don’t see why a visiting corporate delegation from Essen-Arp couldn’t have brought some prototype Sleepers to show off, unaware that the collapse was about to happen… if you are looking for a setup that is 😁

We've published our full trio of articles on the theme of Skyboxes - have you read them all yet?

Hm, haven’t considered the exact deployment date of Sleepers, but Essen-Arp didn’t have any presence in Helion in Solheim era. So no Sleepers there during the collapse, (unless you could think of a reason) and Sleepers may not have even been deployed anywhere yet (they are a β€œnew innovation”)

CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good

Hi! Up to interpretation, but they pulled the plug fast, executives slipping away in advance and middle managers fighting to get on the last fraction drive ships. A crash into the rim knocked a hole in the eye. Cause? Mismanagement, palladium bubble burst + legal challenges from Conway + others
