Just smudgeing my grimoire.. I can’t wait to paint the cover.

I watched Heathers the musical recently and I fell in love with it, JD and Veronica are so perfect!😍

Another Inception fanart, this is kind of beginning to be an addiction! I love the scene when Fischer is in the vault with is father so much and it is so sad! I mean this is beautiful but knowing that it's all fake breaks my heart!

A fanart of two of my favorite youtubers : Markiplier and Jacksepticeye! I really like how happy and enthusiastic they are most of the time! When I am sad, watching their videos warms my heart! About the sentence, this is something I learned from them, especially in Mark's videos when he says that he believes in us, it really helps me in my everyday life^^. I did a Speedpaint of this picture, if you want to see it : youtu.be/k9tiviz2bog

After some initial playtesting of the first chapter of the prologue, we decided to take another look at the structuring of the final confrontation to ensure we had some interesting choices and consequences lined up, so we went back to our dialogue mapping software of choice to plan it out. We have been using Articy:Draft since the start of this project, this is a piece of software often used by RPG devs (Shout out to ZA/UM, makers of Disco Elysium) to help keep track of dialogue trees. Using this tool allows us to make comprehensive and nested maps of all the interactions and choices we have planned and ensure they make sense and have a driving motivation behind them. However, a challenge approached as we started writing... Character-based writing in an IF is really hard to plan coldly for, sometimes you kinda just find a choice set that needs to happen otherwise you break with a player agency too much. An example is that sniper, many players would likely just teleport up to him if they knew where he was, so we either had to make a whole branch just for that or change it up. (We chose to change it up... for now) I would still say planning the story out like this is super important, but like any other plan, it rarely survives contact with the enemy. For those needing assistance in planning their IF, I highly recommend checking out Articy:Draft!
