I put up a goal on my ko-fi because I want to help my parents pay for my matriculation fees.

My mom lost her full-time job so my dad has taken on most of our expenses.

Any amount will help immensely! If you can't give anything, even sharing this around will help, too.

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.

They are stories deeply intertwined with mountains, with human nature, with sacrifice and longing, and it has been a long time since I've climbed the road leading up towards the peak.

Hades 2 has been stirring an itch I've not felt in a while.

one of my most controversial art opinions, but i do not think you need to finish a book to be an author. lots of talk on 'WHEN do you become a REAL writer? 10000 words? 1000 word?' personally i think it takes ZERO words to be a valid writer. john cage would still be a musician if he only wrote 4'33

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Like a game? Comment away!

I haven't mentioned my games in a while but if you don't have it, you can grab a copy of MORIAH here at: urania-games.itch.io/moriah

I say this because for the Folklore jam I'm planning to write a couple of new roads based on the tales of Maria Makiling and Ibong Adarna solely for use with MORIAH.

MORIAH by Urania Games

A game of sacrifice and redemption.

hey it'd be cool if you bought some zines because shit ain't going so great no more

writing's become unsustainable & I gotta shift my focus and the use of my very limited spoons.

fuck, y'all, writing's been my dream job since the 2nd season of xena first came out. 🤷‍♀️it worked for a while there.

I only happened upon it because I like reading light novels, and it's available in the same marketplaces as those. They're wonderfully pulp sci-fi and your partner has good taste!
