Reblog dis with your dragon OC/favorite character and I'll draw them with all my silly headcannons

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

Night wing! First draft if a character i guarantee i will post again, Mira!

Wheeze

what i've done for pride this month target audience: me. ft. kristen on a queer mission and a gaggle of sapphics + their favorite aroace little guy

In celebration of Brightshine Jubilee, I thought it would be fun to give away a copy of every main Brightshine apparel from 2013 through 2022, including Sunchaser Jewelry, which is now so rare that it sells for over twenty thousand gems on the auction house!

Entering is simple—reblog this post once with your username and number in the tags. Likes and follows are appreciated, but not necessary. Duplicate entries will be deleted. The giveaway will close on Friday, July 8, 2022 at 8 PM EST, and a winner will be drawn shortly afterward.

The winner will receive ten items: Sunchaser Jewelry, Sunguard Chest, Solar Blades, Luminous Legguards, Hewn Philosopher’s Veil, Luminous Sundrapes, Brightshine Raiments, Daybreak Decorations, Lustrous Mantle, and Gilded Compass.

Good luck and happy Brightshine!

Do you have any advice on developing a fictional etiquette system?

Study different cultures and etiquettes to get the feel of what you're really trying to build.

You will generally need:

How people introduce themselves (what's considered formal or casual)

How communication is handled? Who can talk to who abf in what way?

How people behave at important functions vs casual functions

How does etiquette divide classes and rank

How does etiquette dictate one's eating, dressing, hygiene and personal habits

What are the consequences of not following the etiquette

How etiquette separates the genders (if it does) and what are expectations of perfect etiquette for the genders

Angles and run poses! These are very unrefined but I love em
