Quest reward! by Vale Blackwood
A game about asking for help and building community.
gorepunk.itch.io
Released a new game! gorepunk.itch.io/quest-reward
Quest reward is all about trying to encourage asking for help in an effort to destigmatise the act and to build community between your friends. It's small and simple, but means a lot to me and reflects a lot of what's been on my mind lately.

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.
It can literally be a life changing events.
When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.
This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past.
I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?
The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.
Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

For my sanity I'm dedicating next week's work hours to art, so if you want to grab a sketch slot, I will be gnawing at my queue very soon ✍️
I'm now offering simple sketch commissions !! 🤍✏️ These have a much quicker turnaround than my rendered pieces, and they're best suited for design concepts and thumbnails.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.
It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.
Embrace your passion.
