god this is relatable. wikipedia didnt even mark my variation as being "official" until like a month ago. not to mention that the page only seems to exist to list the causes and treatments (and also calls it a malformation ._.).
It's why I started keeping a diary of dreams in the first place!! I'd had so many dreams where I was like "Damn that would be such a good story but I can't rmemeber ANYTHINGGG >:,(", but i figured that if I wrote it down as the first thing I did every day, then I'd be able to capture them!
the result of this is that I am now on my fourth dream diary :D one a year for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026!!
I've always said that I enjoy, or like, or care about people that I'm close to, because saying that I love them doesn't feel like it means anything. And likewise, being told I love you by someone else has never felt like it meant anything.
I've only ever found interest in platonic and familial relationships, but even then I wouldn't describe how I feel as love, even though I highly value my connection to them. I wasn't aware that there was a term for this kind of thing.
The colours of the game were inspired by the dream about the elf, as purple and pink were the flower colours that the all the other elves had. I remember all the elves having twigs and blossoms growing out of their hair, and when stood among the other elves, my elf's blossoms were indeniably green.
Even though the other elves did not understand the why or how of my elf being green, they couldn't deny the fact that they were green, even if they really wanted to. They asked my elf "why not choose pink or purple?" over and over at every obstacle, and every time my elf told them it would make them "less themselves" and then carry on with whatever they were doing.
It's probably why the dream stuck out so much to me after I had it, and why I can remember some of the finer details of it now. It felt less like a dream and more like looking at another version of myself.
Ive considered using wareware, but I've not had time to fiddle around with the program just yet. Its on my to-do list though! I don't have much else planned for june so I might be able to :)
Thank you very much! I've been wanting to make a game about my dreams for a while :)
The 3D hack of Bitsy is one I've shied away from due to it being rather complicated, but since it allows you to create tall characters that fit only one tile space, I decided to try it out. The room I'm most proud of is the one with the gynandromorph butterfly; each half of the butterfly has two identical wings that appear/turn invisible alternately to one another in order to get the flapping effect!
this game looks really cool, but I always end up dying during the third or fourth battle. Do you have any tips??
edit: figured out how to not die and got all the way to the end :D
the art in this game is grotesque and fantastic! I had a bit of trouble keeping myself alive during the trials but I got through the third one on my first try and beat the final boss on my second, so I got the hang of it eventually :)
Our submission to the jam must focus on at least one Intersex character. If I am making something based on my own personal thoughts and feelings about being Intersex, can that character be myself?
tysm! If i ever finished this game it would be more of the idea of turn based combat than anything (the attack options would give flavour text but they'd go to the same room with one less monster, for example).
I made the fighting scene first, but I thought adding some areas before it would make it slightly more interesting.
