Some shield designs. I'm currently experimenting with new shield mechanics to explore more varied combat depth.

Wow. Looks great!

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

O.O I think this qualifies as masterwork. We have witnessed the pinnacle of ascii.

How I have refined the ASCII style used in Stone Story over the last few years.

Thanks.

I'm particularly happy with the minimalistic tail animation.

This weekend I showed the game at Pax Prime for the first time. It went great. Setting up the booth by myself was surprisingly laborious and took a good 6 hours or more to get every detail correct. The chosen layout was effective and there were no technical malfunctions aside of minor software glitches like the system cursor rarely appearing on top of the DOS-style cursor. Despite some help manning the booth on the final days, after 4 days of talking non-stop I feel like my voice has evolved into its next form.

I ordered what I thought was enough marketing materials to fill the tables. If someone had told me I needed 2,000 buttons I would have called bullshit. I only ordered 500 and they were gone on the first day! 750 business cards, 750 pamphlets.. all gone. The pamphlet quality was another minor problem. I trusted Vista Print to get the job done, and they did a shitty one. The black color was all over the place, from light gray to off-black and in some of them you could even see vestiges of a previous company's print job. Quite unprofessional.

The Convention Center in Seattle is huge and confusing, with the event split between 4th floor in one building and 6th floor in another. Otherwise, it was very well organized and there was a lot to see. It felt like the entire games industry was there, except for a notable lack of mobile games. I managed to play some games but only really had fun with Dunk Lords.

10/10 would go again.
