I could probably get better outreach on my posts if I really cared about it by changing my pfp but it's so hard to do that because my pfp makes me laugh every time I see it.

PHIGHTING feels like such an anomaly among things with even small fanbases. It has a a comic that's pretty good so far with enjoyable writing and really good art, but that comic only captures a very small part of the PHIGHTING world and characters that people make fanart of.

Once again, if you care at all about writing in video games or even just writing in general I don't know if there's someone who understands the subject better than doc. Even this article's bundle of thoughts feels coherent.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...
some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

Kinda unrelated to what I usually post (not that I post much lol) but doc is a really good ass games writer and you should check his fps stuff out if you're interested in fps design.
GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine
So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

if you like my writing, this month is REALLY urgent, as I need to raise a TON of money to pay my tax bill, which the state is making me pay early because, I shit you not, I did my taxes. Apparently a change to the balance, like filing taxes/extensions is bad

paypal.me/stompsite would help a LOT
Pay Garrick Burford using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/stompsite and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

As a side note, does anyone know any horror games that have a decent amount of gameplay depth? Bonus points if it manages this without having much combat.

Figured out almost entirely by myself how to make a short fixed camera angle oldschool reisdent evil sequence in godot and I havent made anything close to as involved since. Can't seem to ever stick to an idea

I have never tried drugs in my life but im starting to think playing as boombox counts as one. This is because I have gone days without being able to play boombox and have started to feel severe negative effects as a consequence. On the plus side, deltarune tommorow!
