No problem. I talk about my dreams every so often, because I've been having them every night for the past 3 or so years, and it's easy to forget that some people just.. don't have them? Or find ways to connect them to their waking world? It's fascinating to me. But yeah. I'm not into the whole 'dreaming of an ocean means you're looking for an adventure/change' symbolism. Not when I dream enough to recognize that it's just time for my brain to process something in the last 3 days or so.
Our brains are so weird, dude 😆
Thanks!
Electric Zine Maker is a funky little tool for sure- although I admit that sometimes I bring my pages into Photopea for some features like drop shadowing or fonts not on my machine and don't feel like hunting/downloading new ones. And layers! Ooooooh how I want EZM to have layers after a commit!
For the in brower player/preview, it's actually not something attached to EZM officially. It's a nifty ZIP file by another itch user where you essentially drop your pages into a little folder, adjust some basic JavaScript (if needed), and rezip the file. Since it's made with EZM in mind, it follows it's naming conventions for pages, but it's super easy to use it with other zine making methods because of relying on individual pages and optionally telling JavaScript where to look.
The main OS is Linux (Ubuntu) with an external hard drive running Windows (it was removed from a laptop that had screen issues some years back that has yet to be replaced or properly inspected). Decker plays pretty well with Wine from my experience.
(Quick edit to add that I started the project on the Linux drive, and earlier today I wanted to play the Sims so it was running the Windows drive. The Windows side doesn’t read the Linux drive for some reason so I switch drives on boot if I need to)
Took me a bit, but my story is all written out. I like writing with pencil and paper when I’m going through a writer’s block, and gave myself the challenge of using 10 notecards to tell the story because Decker is like a collection of notecards anyway. I think it helps with my soon-to-be text placement.
Can’t work on the Decker cards right away though -I need to switch my desktop’s OS for that- but the story is done!

Hey. I haven't 'officially' joined the jam, but I've been following for the past few days now and started work on the story and some cards yesterday.
It's my first time using Decker so nothing will be too spectacular from me- never minding the creative block that's followed me since the start of the year, lol. I'm just kinda vibing as I go. We'll see if I'm able to finish in time to submit!
