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)_/¯
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at velvetcloset did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at directionsetsspeed pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at forwardlogiclab extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at victorysquad confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at ideasunlockmovement continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at visionintoprocess pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at focuscreatesflow did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at focusandexecute also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at ideasneedmomentum reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at igniteforwardmotion produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at progresswithcontrol kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at clarityleadsaction confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at motionwithclarity reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at primequality kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at ideasrequiremovement kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at progresswithoutpressure only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at broadcastnova added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at wisdommentor confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at forwardlogiclab reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at expertvertex confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at progressrequiresfocus extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.
Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at momentumdesignlab kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at focusunlockspotential confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at buildclearprogress kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at forwardthinkingnow continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at growthmovesforward suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.
Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at forwardtractionhub carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.
Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at urbanhomestead similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at directionbuildsvelocity 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.
Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at focuscreatespace was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at actiondrivenshift continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at actiondrivenshift the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at brightlifestyle carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at directionbeforeforce produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at ideasintomomentum was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at happycradle extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at clarityfuelsmotion expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at ideasguidedforward suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at actionfeedsmomentum reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at strategyinplay confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at planetnexus provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at progresswithintelligence continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at actionfeedsprogress continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at claritydrivesmotion maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at moveideascleanly maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at growthpathwaynow maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at actionwithstructure reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at buildcleartraction extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at brightcurrent continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at intentionalmovement 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.
