Those games (Roblox, Fortnite, etc.) were honestly so far from my radar that I didn't think of them. I don't encourage those sorts of games-where-you-make-games--where the original platform keeps for itself what you have created. What I'm advocating for here are games where what you create is kept by you and only you (a painting or a poem or a Twine game that lives in your files (or on your itch page!)).

smash 'em togther (not fixing that), and watch the world and art that abound! oh lovely lovely! manifesto!

this is how we keep art pieces alive. this is how art lives--through direct lines of inspiration. Lord of the Rings is a descendent of Beowulf. art lineages!

this form of actual play (actual dream?) is very compelling and is something i would want to watch!

thank you so much! ive been thinking about making more of these recently.

Eeeeeee thank you!! I really like the idea of somehow including this in a proper narrative format (maybe even where the characters are rolling dice in game??).

I very much enjoyed this! I won't spoil the surprises, but wow there are some cool turns in there. I wrote a poem titled:

becoming animal

don't overmix 

I'm high on spiced, fruity air; 

WHICH IS 45% OF THE 1.6g DAILY VALUE 

the thought of pie. The breeze is a child, shy 

The coffee that's 

someone moving in. 

the smell of oil on 

Whole Pools of it —

BAKING SODA NEUTRALIZES ACID

I'm a hawk.

Hiya! I made 29 templates (with plans to add more over time) for the notetaking program Obsidian (though they can be used in any markdown program). They're purposefully overdetailed to give a plethora of options and inspirations while making worlds for novels, campaigns, and games :). And so you can make your own templates if you so wish.

Here's the link to the page.

Here's the overview and guide video: 

i enjoyed the creativity! gender!

A thoughtful take on grief and on angels that I quite enjoyed! That first page is such an interesting way to start! I also really liked a guy named Abel having a dog named Cain, it's really sweet :).

Very fun take on twine poetry! I just discovered this jam over five years too late, and am diving into the entries.

My version:

I have politicized

the ducklings

that were in

Forgive me

they were fluorescent

so sharp

and so learned

omg look at him go! life is so strange and awesome!

It's such an experience to see tiny cells moving around, but to see human cells doing that must be WILD. Very cool!

Thank you so much!!

Read this, and want to find the time to try these out! They look real cool!

that's so real on fixing something, breaking something else, lol. and of course, i hope your day is swell!

Real cool concept! The characters are interesting, and I liked the mini-twist towards the end, but I shan't spoil it for others reading. The prose itself looks like it wants editing, but I know this is a work-in-progress, so I understand. I value worldbuilding and story more than prose anyways, and from what I've read here, those are on solid bases.

Yes! This message, all the way to the ends of the universe and back!
