one no longer invincible, the other no longer a princess; both ready to have a long-overdue heart to heart

and neither quite prepared for the other's reaction

Her Majesty The Prince
6 – The Person Inside

“Loulou, you stopped her. You stopped the spell.”

“What?” She shook her head. “No I didn’t. Look at me. Look at you!”

“You interrupted it before it took effect. You diverted it. And you stopped her.”

“…I did? She didn’t get away?”

“No,” the Prince said, chuckling in disbelief, “she very much did not.”

“Well then why didn’t you reverse it? Why didn’t you have your… magic friends fix this?”

The Prince steepled his fingers. “Loulou, you need to understand,” he said, speaking softly and methodically, “you killed that witch really hard. Even the nice witches, the ones who don’t want to steal my body, are very scared now. I don’t think any of them will ever come near us again.”

btw, I just want to note for other indies who do cons that the way this went down is that I walked by the table at the con, was too busy to stop, saw a giant "play the demo on steam" QR code and used it to add the demo to my steam library then walked on & played the demo 3 weeks later in my own time

finally got around to playing the demo of this today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.

HELLO GAME DEVELOPERS

if i want to have a really small amount of data stored on the internet that my game can ask for information about and push information to, what are my options? it'd be really nice if i didn't have to set up a server somewhere or anything

oh, tactical nexus

Until now, I believed that encountering enemies that couldn't be damaged or collecting items was a fun experience in itself, and automating this would make the game dull and not very good.

However, in Mystic Gate and Last Inflator, there were many instances where a slight mistake in procedure meant having to rewind about 500 moves to clear enemies. The strain on my fingers was immense, and all 241 fingers that had grown on my body vanished.

Statistics from TacticalNexus show that 80% of players, like us, play TacticalNexus using tentacles or psychokinesis. However, this discriminatory specification against non-soft-bodied players is unacceptable in the 21st century.
