The dungeon’s popularity is plummeting! Only the Slime can make it fun again. Lots of magic sodas are needed to get the job done.
Had a ton of fun researching gameplay since May. At the time when we were planning it, the goal of this video was to showcase some gameplay elements I had in mind, weaved together to demonstrate the tone promise of the game. No one could plan these ‘ideas’ on paper. I had to make it real. And now you know.
It was intended to be in much shorter forms. Unsurprisingly, I feature creeped it into a different dimension, and my movie-maker persona also co-took the wheel. Very proud of the small story in the end.
This is not the most promotion-efficient format but I have an artistic responsibility to do whatever I like 🙂 Numbers are terrible on twitter rn (v.s. the effort), but getting a million views on bilibili for its more content-friendly algorithm. Feels fitting.
Edit: It had been a slow climb, but this video turned out to be one of my most recognized piece. It became All-site Hottest Top 1 and Weekly Rank Top 1 video on BiliBili, putting me at 90k followers. It also kickstarted my Youtube channel ( +20k subs in a month and I only had 10k to begin with). It’s sad that twitter is indeed in a dying state. It was the only platform I felt comfortable chatting about the more technical side (besides discord). The cycle of stuff dying. What can you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at latinovista kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at profitnexus produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at greenharvest did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at growthfollowsfocus continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at nexoravision confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at digitalclicks kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at momentumdesign extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at intentionalvelocity carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at buildclearprogress continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at brightvertex earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at growthnavigationpath confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at growthpilothub added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at velvettress confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at progressengine reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at growthwithoutfriction reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at urbanmarket did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at vibrantstage added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at actionclaritylab kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at claritybeforevelocity continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at intentionalvelocity extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at urbanriders reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at forwardthinkingcore maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at actionfeedsprogress kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at glowharbor continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at winterhaven explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at expertvoyager extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at progresswithclarity added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at growththroughmotion extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at ideasneedmotion continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at rapidcourier extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at actioncreatestraction extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at focusacceleration continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at clarityshift extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at progressengineon reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at intentionalvelocity kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at artistneedle kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at momentumworkflow similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at stellarchoice keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at signalcreatesmovement added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at festiveglow confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at radiantderma continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.
Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at mysticvoyage reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at clarityturnsideas reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at facthorizon produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at buildvelocitycleanly produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after growthfindsclarity I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at progresswithcontrol continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at ideaprogression reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at signalthefuture continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at strategyfocus reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
