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)_/¯
Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at ideasgainmotion earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after actionplanner I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at shadowbeast continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at forwardthinkingcore 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.
Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at clarityfuel added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at executeideasfast added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at littlebloomhub continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at actionremovesfriction continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at actionshapessuccess continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to urbanfashion I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at oceanvoyagerhub extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at buildmomentumintelligently continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at forwardtractionhub confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at quantumharbor only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at growthpipeline earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at buildmomentumwisely prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at focusforwardpath confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.
Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at nexustower kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at forwardthinkingcore reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at focusunlockspotential extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at focusandexecute extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at claritysimplifiesprogress produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at silkstrandly confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at clarityoveractivity extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at actiondrive continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at claritydrivesmotion kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at momentumdesign added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at nexoravision pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at forwardenergyflow continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at claritypowersresults extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at intentionalmovement maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at focusfirstapproach continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to broadcastnova kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at progressengine kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at growthwithoutnoise continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at signaldrivengrowth keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at modernhavens kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at infonexushub gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.
Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to focuspowersmovement kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at progressneedsstructure maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at directionbeforeforce 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.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at brightcapture confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at focusacceleration extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at directionsharpensfocus confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at executeplansnow closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at urbanriders cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at growththroughdesign reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at moveideasforwardclean extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at focusoverforce continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at clarityroute added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
