Work very hard on the thumbnail and whatever gets seen in the promotional sections of Kickstarter. Pay extra for a good piece of art if you need it. One that looks good at small size AND tells everyone with one image what they're getting.

I didn't quite follow the rules of the game, but it's a thoroughly great theme for a story. Somewhat like, but also entirely unlike, Company of Wolves.

Can we call these posts 'Tweets'?

I like the idea of the spirit of Twitter 2010s surviving the death of the originating platform.

I like the idea of keeping Tweets for all social platforms, so the spirit of 2010s Twitter lives on.

Show me your cats with a cat fact bluesky. Gomez here has no meow, he just sort of whispers.

If you watch Aliens and Titanic, some would say they're not "Like" each other. Film students might say they're very much the same, compered to a Gerwig film.

It depends on what aspects of "Disco Elysium" you think matter. For you it's the story, but I noticed the music and art more. Sorry!

I'd gently push back on this. For some that's true. For others, the painting art style and music by Sea Power make it DE, and you could have those things in the new game.

Short comic I wrote and illustrated, based on the β€œstick salesman” concept art trope. I gave him an origin story, which takes place in unimaginably stereotypical landscapes from sci-fi and fantasy. It is very Sandman / @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com inspired in the tone.Β  - 🧡1/4

Love the comic. But here to represent the pixel art gang. 'reduced' indeed!

Anyone got any questions about marketing?

My experience includes working for Opera, Google, indie gaming, Hollywood screenwriting, and LotR IP.

It's slow to load, light on users and a bit unstable, but... by Jupiter, it's nice here compared to Xitter.

Just come here to feel better after another unwise visit to the X.

It feels like one of those pubs where a lot of fights break out, whilst this is a cafe with cats to pet.

Dracula turns into a bat to avoid detection or for selfish personal travel purposes, whereas I would turn into a bat to pollinate local plants and help balance our precious ecosystem. Just one of several ways that I am morally superior to Dracula.
