Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do… the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.

Spending too much time on descriptions. Cool to learn about the art. Trying to find fun facts, be a lil irreverent…

But Modigliani's story is SO sad
-infamous for staggering drunk thru cafés
-died of meningitis @ 35
-the day after, his 21yo preg lover jumped out a window killing herself + child

Yup—got safeguards against malicious users. And will consider no connections.

BUT I appreciate the reminder. It made me look into how to tighten things up even further. 👍

Sloppy Forgeries @sloppyforgeries.bsky.social · 14d

As a dev (esp solo) it's often the case that there's nothing visually interesting to show for the work you're doing.

It may look boring, but I'm excited to save paintings from the game into the cloud. This'll make high scores w/paintings next to them possible.

🖼️ New Painting

Self-Portrait with Julie by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun

French painter who specialized in portraits in late 18th c. Wonderful painting to stare at. Folds are hard, but also big swaths of color.

Nice! Hi! 👋

Thanks so much. Glad u like the Steam page! Wasn’t sure how it was being received

How’d u hear about the game?

Sloppy Forgeries @sloppyforgeries.bsky.social · 29d

Thx! 🙏

Sloppy Forgeries @sloppyforgeries.bsky.social · 29d

Ah! Already done! Super cool

Sloppy Forgeries @sloppyforgeries.bsky.social · 29d

I love it generally, but somewhat a valid concern. Maybe they cycle on/off so not ALL are moving at once.

Sloppy Forgeries @sloppyforgeries.bsky.social · 29d

Looks great. Love the tree sway
