nathaniel, they/them or he/him. artist, writer, gamedev. right now I make WHODUNNIT. i'm bad at being online https://gyrium.neocities.org/ https://gyrium.itch.io/
once I get to a good spot in spanish I wanna go back to latin and reawaken the four years I spent on that. then probably italian, but eventually I gotta get over to chinese, and some time after that ill have to become some sort of lich king so I can learn every other language too
i can't help but get so frustrated about how learning another language is treated in the US- unnecessary, unusual. simple curiosity in another way of life is eclipsed by a cultural emblem of nationalistic ignorance.

i think one of the worst things about being in today's generations is how often we feel expected to have something to say before we've had the time to learn anything at all. if you're 20 you're not gonna have the most nuanced takes and, like, that's okay? go live and see what happens
there's a couple negative reviews on whodunnit for not being like ediction, and im starting to mentally prepare for the future because. well. hoo boy, none of my game ideas are the same vibe at All

going plump on a flying whale with your sail set in a foggy squall is the height of a whaleman’s discretion
Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal
Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · last mo.Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

since the last side project was a puzzle game im feeling the pendulum swing back to wanting to do a vn for a jam or something... hrm...
Okay... I get it... I've only been writing for games for a little while but the ellipsis is so alluring... Why not have a little pause...? Trail off mysteriously... before changing thoughts... ...or even picking the thought back up. Try it sometime... but watch out..........!
eating an actual fresh, local mango is life changing quite frankly
ive been learning so much spanish. spanish speakers your posts will not be safe from me... im already reading them as we speak...

one of the funniest things mauri and i say to each other while working on something is "so why is no one playing this yet."
one thing about both comedy and mystery is that they are hard to write. and i sure decided to do both at the same time

i think any discussion of getting into games needs to acknowledge the difference between pursuing game making as a craft vs game making as an industry
