More corporate thieves. Great.

Just found out about this today, and pulled all my books from Kindle. My eBooks are still available via Apple Books and Kobo (for now), and direct via my website.

Seriously weighing the pros and cons of eBook distribution at all in the age of AI.

I'm starting to get to the point where I have a lot of story plot points floating in my head, that I should be writing them down.

It will be beneficial for when the time comes to organize and structure them before writing.

I made a game about triangles and other shapes. Feel free to check it out.

It's been too long since I last sat down and worked on a lengthy piece of writing.

My game has taken priority lately but it's taking longer to get out the door than what I originally wanted.

The world itself starts as normal, but people or other entities bringing about change is what brings about abnormality.

Beings we classify as aliens invading, weaponry with advanced functionality, some form of time slip, mechanical exoskeletons... Traditional concepts, it would appear.

As a whole, the range of stories I've worked on has fallen under many different story types.

But recurring themes I often involve are various forms of sci-fi and being story-driven as opposed to character-driven.

With only one book published so far (coming out last year) I do indeed say I'm rather new to it.

I am slow to act upon a new idea. If it hangs around my head for a while, then I start feeling I should do something with it.

Here's the first trailer of a game I've been working on...

I would have expected a higher percentage to not plan on using it.

If this project style works good for you, then I don't find it weird.

Sounds like a reasonable way to go about the process.

Sounds rather intense to go through one continous story as aprocess that just keeps going.

Questions for authors who published at least one book in a planned series:

After the the first one is released, is there a set amount of time you take a break before jumping into the next one for that series?

Do you prefer to work on a project unrelated to that series then jump back later?

I understand.

I'm a terrible PR person because the vast majority of my content creation time is spent on _actually making_ the content.

Don't worry, I'm not very good at marketing either.
:S

I'm about to do the bad game developer thing and push out an update Friday afternoon.

only just today did it become a requirement for Oscars voters to *actually watch all of the nominated movies* in order to cast a vote. a rule that probably shouldve been there 96 years ago

Perhaps not "everyone"

I now need help gathering more terminology people use...

A) What do you call the attached area to the front of the house, where the front door is?

B) What do you call the space immediately inside the front door?

I have reached another game development crossroads...

A) Find a free pre-made system that handles achievement progress for me so that I can spend dev time working on other things. I'll just need to credit those who worked on it.

B) Build an entire achievement system from scratch.

It's that day of the year.

Might you be willing to make a simple graphic with the items listed? 👀

I'm the type of person who would print something like this out and physically stamp it.

I want my triangle game to have full 5.1 music support. This is the current progress.

One layer, one channel complete.

There will be five layers spread across the six channels.

The vertical title is almost meant to represent traditional Japanese that's written vertically. While working on Innocence, I had the idea in mind of "If I wrote a story that reads like an anime, what would it look like?"

From the mind of Xelanater, Innocence: A Quickwrite Story

I made my own cover, so I hope it's alright if I answer anyway.

I wanted something bright and colorful but also simple. This design fits exactly with the type of story I wanted Innocence to feel like.

It was created primarily in GIMP, with a little bit of Photoshop to polish up.

It can happen to anyone these days.
