REMEDIUM’s Tags: 

#REMdevlogs - For all the posts in which I yap about the progress on this project 

#REMartdump - When I feel silly, I may drop art for you guys to see 

#REMwritings - When I feel especially evil, I may drop story angst on your heads 

#REMPOVposts - Series of little prompts accompanied by a look into the overworld of the game 

#REMrandom - For all the stupid posts I make that aren’t particularly relevant to REMEDIUM’s development, but are still somewhat on topic.

#REMgeneral - All Remedium posts! 

WHAT IS REMEDIUM?

As I said, this project is an indie video game based on Legundo’s POV of Vampires SMP! It will be a story-driven game with combat and choices leading you to multiple paths and endings. Will the Doctor be able to help everyone? Or will you just lead him to his demise once more? 

It will be a ship free game (though, in Legundo’s words, while v!Legs and v!Owen weren’t necessarily dating, they’re sure as heck divorced by the end of it all) and content-creator friendly. There may be gore, but it all depends on my ability to draw blood. 

WHEN CAN I PLAY? 

That’s sure an ambitious question. Here’s the honest answer: I don’t know! I’m a very busy Fae and am doing this mostly on my own, so it will certainly not be out tomorrow. However, I do have a demo that I am actively working on, mostly showcasing the game’s mechanics, which should be out soon, roundabouts a few months, considering I have vowed to only post this after I’ve made considerable progress on it, which can be considered a prologue to Oakhurst. Estimated play time would be maybe around 5 minutes. 

The game as a final product  has an undetermined amount of play time. Likely over an hour, though.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT? 

That’s easy. Comment! Leave asks! Talk about it! I will not accept a single penny for this project, and money would never enrich my passion more than you guys interacting with this project! Please leave asks, comments and reblogs, I will eat them all up. They will directly influence my progress on this. 

HOW CAN I HELP IN ITS DEVELOPMENT? 

Sadly, REMEDIUM will not be opening up applications. The reason for that is the fact that I wouldn’t be able to find a way to communicate with people if I were to, that management takes a darn whole lot of time, and that I have a very specific vision for this project. However, please leave ideas for the game in whatever way you see fit, whether that be asks, comments or reblogs! They may be implemented, who knows? :D

(The decision not to open applications may be subject to change, but do not get your hopes too high up.) 

WHO IS THE ONE PULLING THE STRINGS? 

The Fae is handling this project—though you may call me (ThisWild)Zam, or Teri (or Louis, if you're feeling whimsical.). I am the main person pulling the strings, though I am helped by a few people: My very dear Foam [@seafoamwaffle] (she/her), helping me handle this very Tumblr, my beloved Cat [@cattreats4humans] (they/them) and very talented Skye [@autumnwhistles] (she/her), who will be making all the music/soundtracks for REMEDIUM, along with the wonderful Glacier[@justglacier12] (neopronouns) who is gonna be making some of the character art! There’s also Pie [@thedoomedpie] (they/them), who I suppose is not an official member of the team, but has been the guiding hand I needed to start learning code. 

I go by he/fae/neos/they (faes have also gone woke, it turns out) my tumblr is @thiswildzam , and I also work on @project-lumen ! I was originally hired as a writer in the first round of application, then found myself trying out pixel art when we turned out to be short-staffed on that front. This allowed me to envision a world where I can make projects like these myself! :D (except for the music part—I do not have a single musical bone in my body.) 

I must thank Legundo, for his subathon, his acknowledgement of my chat messages mentioning this mysterious “v!legs fanproject”, and for chat, who unknowingly supported me through this process =D 

This post has taken so long in my day to come out because I've just been having a great time. My brother came back for the first time in months to celebrate this occasion, and brought gifts. He brought our family a TTRPG game, and I will finally be able to test that out! I'm even the DM! Our neighbors and family friends stopped by and are excited to get to play with us. We're having a wildly different age demographic, the youngest player being 6 years old. Will it be difficult for her? Probably. But we were reunited by family and tradition and we'll accomodate for her!

I woke up at 7 AM this morning with my family to walk to the Mosque and saw how happy they were at the amount of muslims there was present. I was happy that they could walk around and feel proud about their religion, especially when I leave in a country that is very racist to arabs.

I wanted to make this post because it's important to me that I show my culture. And, sure, will I be posting on Easter and Christmas? maybe. I don't know!

When I first started identifying as an atheist, i thought I'd want to celebrate christmas for once. But that's not the case, because christmas doesn't mean anything to me. Sure, I like seeing my friends get excited about it and have a moment of community and family in december, but that's not that moment for me. For me, that's l'eid. That's the entirety of ramadan.

And, hey, if you really want me to stick to block man, v!Legundo is a doctor. He'll tell you how good fasting is for your body.

But for now, rest up. Have a nice day. Call your family and spend time with them! Whether you celebrate l'eid or not, I wish you the best.

This isn't about block man. This is about me celebrating my culture in a space I feel safe in. Thank you for listening.

Well. Truth is, I think I was okay at identifying a timeline for what I was planning at the time. But ever since I started Remedium, this project has only grown, and I've managed to get feedback from people. Which explains why the demo will be delayed.

Why is that? Well. I actually just got bigger and better plans for the demo! While I originally only wanted the Player to explore overworld mechanics, I decided to add a little more.

A demo is supposed to be some sort of trailer for the game. And I want to make the best trailer for you all.

In the meanwhile, I want to remind you that my asks are open! Ideas are always welcome, yapping is even more. Support is what motivates me every day.

I wish I could show you all that I've been doing. But alas, I must keep some secrets...

For now, have this.

wh... what do you mean "This isn't enough?" I've given you a screenshot of one!!! (1)!!! One whole map, now! Out of the like, 14 total in the game! (i did not actually count them. before posting this.) Don't be so greedy! I'm sorry if the cursor hides most of it, and i guess im sorry its a bit pixelated, but what more do you want from pixel art? Truly, do you not know how to appreciate art? Sillies and low quality screenshots aside... Remedium will come in time. And I hope you will all love it as much as I do. (Actually, maybe more, because i do hate it at times. Coding sucks.)
