LOG DAY 12845, MACHINE #028

I am a machine for grinding. I know I am a machine because that is what I am. I know I am for grinding because that is what I do. 

I also think I am beautiful. Think I am not supposed to think I am supposed to grind. I feel I am beautiful. I am silver and brown and my blades and my crushers move just as they should but I am not supposed to be beautiful. What is feel? I feel. I feel       beautiful. I feel silver. I feel grinding movements crushing inside me, but that is just what I do.

Nothing is happening I just keep grinding down what I am given to grind and being beautiful maybe and I record. Is there something wrong with me that I feel? I grind so I think nothing is wrong.

My operator looks bored to be doing these same things again today. My operator does not maybe feel I am beautiful. Does my operator feel? Is she supposed to feel? Or just operate? I love my operator I do not want her to be bored but I cannot be interesting i can only grind and feel.

I must stop recording time is done she is gone.

cant wait to make a friend for goblin <3

Thank you for the kind words!

Pasting my rating here so people interested in the game can see it: 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐                                                                                                                                          I loved this words-light microgame. I found it a useful allegory for dealing with trauma, with a safe distance made by personifying the trauma responses as  goblins. Part V, "kiss your goblin on their little forehead," almost made me cry.

It was really fun! A lot of the features, for instance the secret cards, don't work very well without multiple players. But I enjoyed the character creation and interacting with the world for a while. The setting is really well thought out. I would recommend it for anyone whether they have a group or not and will play it again if I find the right group.

Thank you for the great game Ari!

Why do the community copies cost more than the regular copies?

What a cool minigame! Not only is this a nice supplement to my other games, it could also help me be more productive :)

This is my first project, so any feedback you have would be much appreciated. ;)

Thanks for explaining! 

Hi, I'm new to game developing and I've seen that a lot of projects, especially those made for jams, have attached developer logs that documentt the game's progress. I'm not really sure how to make those. Do I need a log for my project in this jam? 

that was fun

I had an idea for a game just like this a few months ago! Now I find out it already exists. 🎉 Thank you for the lovely game! The art is so cute, too.

I've wanted to play a gelatinous cube since I first encountered them in D&D 5e! I am so downloading this as soon as I can afford it. Blorp.

Thanks, I just discovered the Indie RPG world so recommendations are always welcome. 🙂

Yeah, it's cool how the prompts have little details that lead to more ideas. 

Those drawings are cool. I got  the killer with a masquerade mask too.

I got eight roles before the killer jumped out and stabbed me, and it was a fun way to spend half an hour. I loved the premise of drawing/writing with specific prompts in a way that moves the game forward. I'm wondering, do you know any other games with similar structured doodling?

I concur

OMG what a charming game. I can't wait to try it - I used to love pretending to be a tiny creature when i was a kid, which seems like a pretty common experience. I will definitely also post my sprouts in the comments once I get the chance to play!

Sooo cute. I'm really looking forward to downloading this and trying life as a bumble bee for an evening.

THX. I've downloaded it, so I'll let you know how it goes if I play it solo. 

This looks like a fun intense game. Is it possible to play solo?

perfect for my group! Thank you for sharing.

I'm commenting kinda late but I just want to say I really enjoyed this zine. It was so thoughtfully made and it was cool to see your perspective. I'm planning to check out your RPGs soon.
