I'm a bit burnt out from writing the first six chapters – it was a lot in a short time. But there isn't a day I don't think about #GodfleshRPG and how excited I am about this game. We'll start working on the map at the beginning of February, really looking forward to seeing the result.

Three creators working within Lancer's creative ecosystem told @newmadras.bsky.social that the mech RPG's large fan community isn't just dedicated -- they're indispensable collaborators.
Lancer is a brain worm, and 50,000 people have it
What is the community doing over there? A lot, apparently!

How hard is it to make a good detective video game? The story behind the excellent The Seance of Blake Manor, whose developers were changing integral parts of the design six months before release, might help answer that question.

Meet the playbooks!

Driven by hidden knowledge and an urge to shed light on the truth, the Anointed carries the burden of a destiny not their own.
THE ANOINTED No mere bystander, you bear the chilling weight of secrets glimpsed beyond the mortal veil. Driven to unearth truths others fear to speak, you pierce hidden realities, forever marked by the burden of a destiny not your own. Remember, ignorance may seem like bliss, but the knowledge you wield is a double-edged sword. Choose wisely, Anointed. The logo for the Anointed is a golden goblet with light emanating around it, rendered in stained-glass style

Besides the fact that Aviv and Eran achieved an amazing milestone by having this book published, I have followed Up to Four Players since its inception and I adore everything about it.

I found out about a #GodotEngine add-on called Phantom Camera. It seems especially useful if you want to make a game with fixed camera angles, or an on-rails camera.

Saw a TikTok discussing #DungeonCrawlerCarl. The creator claimed people find Princess Donut annoying when she starts talking because of misogyny.
