This organism has found a new way to emit ululations

You know the Sun gets all the credit but we wouldn't be here without the Void either - often overlooked

Ryan Spangler@prismofeverything.bsky.social · 4w agoOkay today's organism: floating over lava world, staying cool
And we are funded! Thanks so much to everyone.... words cannot express. ORGANISM is born

Ever since the other site I've had nowhere to emit strange thoughts in the middle of the night - did this thing ever work out do you want to hear thoughts

Ryan Spangler@prismofeverything.bsky.social · 4w agoAll right swapping my pfp out with strange hand-drawn organisms everyday until the campaign is complete (today is a floating rainbow eyeball):

Someone convinced me to believe in infinity today and now I am absolutely drunk with power
Hey all! I made a gameplay video for ORGANISM - it is the first gameplay video I have ever made! It was actually more fun than I thought - does this make any sense: youtu.be/TP9DXc1MiBU?...
ORGANISM - gameplay!

Coming soon: ORGANISM
ORGANISM is a board game of growth, exploration, survival, and reproduction! with simple rules and boundless potential
kickstarter.com
If we are limited by our imagination, be unlimited
The boundary between existence and non-existence is a surface of awareness
Just because the lesson seems obvious doesn't mean you have learned it
Look around your house and ask, how much of this is because of fire?
How many bricks do you need to put in a pile before it becomes conscious?
The Ship of Theseus is not just a curiosity but an essential blueprint for survival
Hey Marcy thank you so much for the shout out! You were an essential part of how the game turned out and I couldn't be happier to finally bring it to life now : ) the time for ORGANISM has come
Marceline is Racing Dinos@marcelineleiman.bsky.social · last yr.Super duper excited to see the game I was a developer for ORGANISM come together after years and years of anticipation!! I describe ORGANISM as “Go, by way of Twilight Imperium”—and that’s exactly what it feels like. Super elegant, interactive, and deep! Go follow the KS page now!!
Sometimes you need to be defensive about things that are worth defending
Imagination guides building, and building catalyzes imagination. They're each remarkable on their own, but together form a virtuous cycle of evolving creation
The story is composed of all the parts we couldn't leave out
