I had to give her a bath at 4am because she got an upset stomach from a french fry (she's fine)

This ends at noon tomorrow and I'm currently watching @bripolarbear.bsky.social write an entire (NSFW) fanfic based on her Spores of Marrow playthrough last minute, ADHD style She's roasting her character as the narrator in between paragraphs and keeps adding footnotes just to make jokes #VekariRB

That'd be, what, 7 years of #VekariRB? Our main story might wrap up by then and I might be able to start compiling it all into a physical novel/art book thing you can hold and flip through and keep on your shelf. Be cool to have that record of your adventures if you participate! vekari.net

Where do you see your writing career in five years? I really really hope there’s a published novel in my future—way sooner than five years #writingq #WritingCommunity

Writing 4 character perspectives in the same story at once, with a constantly shifting world and storyline based on how every player interacts with the game over time. Making a combat system out of terminal windows and adding not just commands but possible phrases players may type is also up there.

Indie game devs, what is something your game does that is way harder than people think? For me, it's that my card game is stack based. Most people don't realize that instant speed interaction in a card game makes everything 1000x more complicated and difficult. This is exactly why nobody copies MTG

Quick, before something else comes up in my life 😭 Today is the actual last day to vote on part 11 of the story, part 12 will be up soon along with a few other updates. This is one of many ways you can guide where the story goes next! vekari.net/story.php

Welcome to all the new people who showed up I'm Inkus. I'm a game dev and artist with crippling C-PTSD, and I make art about grappling with trauma and fear. Sometimes I include a maladaptive daydream or three. vekari.net compiles all of this into a (free) fantasy world that anyone can influence

Comic-y cover art for Vekari: Remote Bypass, an online virtual world/RPG/ARG/novel/puzzle game... or in short, a strange portal to another world entirely.
The game is found at vekari.net and created by Inkus Alters. The art features Iliana, Acro, and Enoch using their combined abilities to save Kori from falling into a bottomless pit in a glitched warehouse as she impulsively jumps from the ceiling atop a combo PC/aquarium onto a glitched creature below.

Readers may choose to only read and vote on story parts. Players may explore the world, interact with the characters, complete quests. Both make important decisions about the story going forward. Where do you fit in?
