Hi to all the new followers! I'm Maxi, and I'm a Spanish trans masc game director, voice director, art director and writer freelancing for several teams in English, Spanish, Japanese and Catalan (hire me!)

I'm better known for being the solo developer of The Hayseed Knight though! (Buy it!)

I really do think that it's either people who are too afraid of themselves, which I understand, or people with something to gain from no violence ever who always say that kind of thing
maximjdev.bsky.social
Violence is not a inherently evil thing. It's something every human is capable of, it's aggression we have because we are animals, and there are ways to let it out consensually with people who need to satisfy the same pulsions. Such is life that we all have needs, and kinks, and upsetting feelings.
maximjdev.bsky.social
I have lived my whole life in violence. Violence has been done upon me my entire life, against my will. Violence is something I understand, when gentler feelings are terrifying because I don't feel they should be directed at me.

I can talk this out in a session, therapy or BDSM, and be free
maximjdev.bsky.social
I shouldn't need to explain to people that BDSM exist and that trauma makes some of us want to hurt others and be hurt, but bluesky people really are special like that goddamn

Then have a good one, bye. Leave people alone when you don't know a thing about their lives next time.

I want a world where I didn't get raped as a toddler and abused my entire life until I was kicked out of my home, but that's not the world we live in and so I crave violence. Kindly go fuck yourself. If you're going to try to preach to me again I will block you and be done with it.
maximjdev.bsky.social
Again, you're talking to someone you don't know about something you don't know anything about. There are violent people abound and ways people let violence out consensually, and my therapist knows. You may as well tell someone not to have sex again, for all that's worth.
maximjdev.bsky.social
Jamie, you're not my therapist, and I am not yours. I'm not going to give you a pat on the back for talking to me about something you have no knowledge of.
maximjdev.bsky.social
I have a great imagination and it haunts me often already and in many disturbing ways; I don't want more of that, which is what scares me
maximjdev.bsky.social
I have lived through many horrors and I'm afraid of what I'll awaken within myself if I put pen to paper about them

Actual violence just starts and stops at it :')
maximjdev.bsky.social
My therapist: you should draw the violence you crave
Me: I'd rather do actual violence
Her: that's not productive, Maxi!
Me:
Me: but I want 1 violence

Simon was clearly very loved throughout his life. I'm sorry, Jett

Glitch Productions has partnered with the ’Lackadaisy’ team to produce a TV show.

More episodes, minutes and music will be included in the show, which will be co-produced by them.

I call that being a tinkerer, and yeah external stimuli always help lol. I struggle to do things for myself, but I never miss a day of work if someone else is *ordering* me to do it.

I'm very nonlinear in conversation but I can't apply that to a story because "THIS is the story" no changes allowed
maximjdev.bsky.social
Would it help if you approached this as a setting instead, and then zoomed in where you need to? That way you can convey you know your world just through the quests without going out of the way to talk about it
maximjdev.bsky.social
That's a common exercise, but I don't want to start by taking what is already out there and end up with something purposefully derivative. I want to make my own things as originally as I can, always
maximjdev.bsky.social
Which part of it overwhelms you? For me, I'm afraid of just thinking of the amount of things I'd have to keep track of if I add any mechanics in
maximjdev.bsky.social
I hate that I'm not able to think nonlinearly. I hate that the games I can make lack anything other than people talking because I suffer trying to imagine mechanics, I'm only happy tinkering with the base someone else built.

I'm here like "who WOULD play this" as I write
maximjdev.bsky.social
Like, I know it can be done. That's literally the job I do as a writer and occasionally narrative designer. People give me what amounts to their studio OC headcanon folder and I wrangle a cohesive story out of it

I'm just too ambitious for my own projects, I want it all so I can't do anything
maximjdev.bsky.social
After 2024, I really am burned out beyond belief for my own projects. I am plagued by concepts of ideas, of vague general plot threads and cool "what if we made x" but thinking of the specifics feels like someone's stomping on my brain

I wish someone could just make the things happen instead

Little known fact by this point: the Game of Thrones comic was my first job ever for the American comic market at 18 years old. I only ever watched the series because of it.

I'd need to know if this one is any less bleak lol
