Trailer for our Twine game about anticapitalist astronomy. Expand. Expand. Expand?
This final incarnation of the game features a truckload of art, three animations, a full dynamic soundtrack, minor text updates and text accessibility options. In the meantime we were also positively reviewed on the Italian Communist newspaper so that's cool.

One really cool perk of joining Cyan is that I get to capture all of the promotional shots for the new Riven.
Can't wait for y'all to play this sucker. 📚
I wish this was a real creature so I could keep it as a pet

Boycotting the Venice Biennale for Palestine so I'm retreating to my friends my good old friends the seven heavenly palaces instead.
Any recommendations for finding a journal book with myst vibes? I've been thinking about one to use while I'm camping.
What a cool idea!
I made my Relto by painting a Moleskine-like notebook with fabric paints (+ mandala in ballpoint pen), so that's an option for a simple replica! I'm on mobile or I'd post a pic - it's gotta be buried in the depths of my cosplay posts on here.
Relatedly, Uru posits that any good, sensible notebook can be a great fit for exploring Ages - a friend swears by the Leuchtturm1917 brand, for example.
For something more... classically Stranger-y, I've found all of mine at country fairs, in Tuscany, any place with some semblance of a bookbinding tradition... I suspect Italy is easy mode for this sort of thing. I hope you can find something artisanal and reasonably priced* where you are!
* last time I checked in Venice: NOT reasonably priced.

my first thought was that video of the girl describing how to draw a flower, trying to teach two cats who are totally enthralled and patiently sitting in little plastic chairs, and i had to recreate it but with this prompt in mind LOL

I'm always seeing this sentiment of "I have got to make my art weirder" or people begging for weirder art but here's the thing, Weird is not a brand. You cannot rack your brains trying to figure out the "Weird" formula. You don't get weird art by artificially forcing whatever you think is "weird." You get weird art (and I think "weird" is sometimes people groping for a way of saying non-corporatized) by figuring out what you like, deep down, even (especially) if you think it's embarrassing and wallowing in it like a pig
Imminent return.
so under the cut it goes. Here (x) on the threesentenceficathon comm
I tried the "yeet yourself into Giant's Deep" achievement and not only did I not manage to proverbially yeet myself past the current, but I got stuck between that and the bottom of an island ._.
