Dirgesinger Dice || On Long Rest!

Looking at streaming some video editing and just hanging out on my Youtube channel tomorrow around 2pm (CST).

If you are interested in watching it live and asking question about the editing process (Davinci) or just hanging, I'll update this post tomorrow with specifics.

A cropped screenshot from CIPHER ZERO's Suburb's level, done in minimalist designs, soft colors, and paper-like textures. An elevated, covered train track runs across the bottom, a couple of squared off tree tops in front, various shades of green. The sky is a smattering of green, blue, pink, orange, and golds. A waxing moon is in the center of the sky, a geometric glitch haze around it.

Join Annie (@nyanfood.bsky.social) and Saul (@saulamander.bsky.social) in how they brought the moon — a constant, ever-shifting presence during your journey — to life in the sky above CIPHER ZERO's worlds.

A wide screenshot from CIPHER ZERO. A telescope sits in a barren area, a greyed out bicycle nearby it, as well as squared off ruins. The sky is littered with stars as a star trail runs along the left hand side. In the center of the sky is the Earth, the telescope pointed at it.

Against a wealth of advice to chase fads and virality, we set out to create a highly-polished experience that invisibly led a player through a challenging, solitary experience.

A yellow fire hydrant in the middle of a grey, rocky, barren area, with tiny star flower plants nearby it. A dark starry sky is seen in the back, the sides are littered with glowing thumbs up, and across the top center says "THANK YOU!"

A huge thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to leave a review for CIPHER ZERO! We're sitting at Very Positive on Steam thanks to you!

If you’ve played but haven’t left a review yet, we’d love to know what you thought!

I don’t talk publicly about my previous job for a lot of reasons. But the people that know me, know that it became a primary source of anguish for me.

I’m glad someone is finally talking about what it was like for us:

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO done in minimal style, a varied color palette, and layered in textures. Inside a train, a booth's table is littered with random objects, such as a lava lamp, a camera with film next to it, an open CD players, an old school monitor with blue text. In the background, out the window, the background of a city and its pier can be seen.

"Were we overly-ambitious? For sure. [...] We wanted our soundtrack to be dynamic in a unique way... and I think we succeeded."

Join Ian in how he wove the sounds of CIPHER ZERO into its dynamic score.

A screenshot of CIPHER ZERO's opening area, Lake, done in a minimalist design and colors. A grey and lonely lake, vague shapes of mountains in the distance, multiple phases of the moon is seen in the grey sky.. Rocks of hard edges jut out of the water's surface, as sunbeams cast themselves over one of the rocks. A green train races across the surface and continues on off screen. A telescope sits in the foreground, aimed out towards the open lake.

A screenshot of CIPHER ZERO's Powerplant, done in a minimalist design and colors. Fields of wheat are colored yellow and gold, diamond patterns in the wheat. Stray strands of wheat stand just in front of the mian fields. In the background, a dilapidated observatory is seen, parts of a dome missing panels while parts are replaced with thin scaffolding. A dark billboard is just in front of it. The CIPHER ZERO logo sits in the bottom right corner.

A screenshot of a school set in a suburb area. The school is decorated in a skyscrapper motif with a rainbow running down one side. The windows run a large length of this portion, showing an empty cafeteria inside. An open stairwell is seen to the right. An apartment building is seen on the left in the foreground with a parking lot next to it. The moon hangs in the sky nearly full. The CIPHER ZERO logo sits in the corner in white.

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO's City level, done in a minimalist design. A large apartment building sits center of the view, a large blue and faint orange sign with illegible text. Below that is an empty restaurant and bar. A covered train track runs behind it, as more skyscrapers are seen in the background with various billboards.

It's #ScreenshotSaturday!

goblins are SO hot right now

A pair of gold and silver polymer clay cathedral windows with glittery transparent “glass” with stars and moons inside, surrounded by empty window frames and resting on a fake flower.

The final gothic cathedral windows (for now)!

Calling these ones my Wizard Tower variant. I think they’re my fave out of the bunch, but I’m partial to celestial themes lol

Non-Persona Cowl Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement) A completely unremarkable white tunic is paired with a vest and hood in a boring shade of blue that the eye passes over easily. The vest comes adorned with a patch that emphatically introduces itself in common above ever-shifting runes that are impossible to read. The hood comes with a built in mask that offers a confident smile while revealing nothing of the face underneath. While attuned to this item, you gain a +2 bonus to Persuasion and Deception skill checks made during part of an ongoing conversation. Once per day while wearing this cowl, you can use a bonus action to utter the command words “How can I assist you?” to a creature that is not hostile to you and can understand a language you speak. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by you for the next 10 minutes. While they are charmed, they will generally be helpful to you and try to answer your questions so long as they do not think you mean them harm. At the end of their charmed condition, you can choose to make them forget the finer details of you and any conversations you had while they were charmed, causing them to think of it as a nice discussion with a polite, but forgettable person. If the target succeeds on their saving throw they are not charmed, but they are not aware that you attempted to charm them.

Non-Persona Cowl

Make them forget that whole thing even happened with our latest #DnD magic item. You'll be as forgettable as you want to be in no time. If you enjoy these free items, drop us a follow or share this post. We make new ones every week!

This is why my imposter syndrome is going into that kiln. No one can say anything to me anymore.

A hand model with long nails holding a blue and red coin that has a woman's silhouette as the logo. Gold stars decorate the face.

A coin for your thoughts?

"What if people don't like it?" What if they do? What if that thing you're scared to share is exactly what someone needed today? You'll never know until you hit publish. Fear is just your brain trying to keep you safe from imaginary dangers.

The biggest thing I've had to teach myself: Post for myself. Not for engagement, not for clout, just for myself.

If someone sees my rant, my picture, or a link to something important to me and they go "hell yeah" — dudes will see this and think "hell yeah" — then that's just icing on the cake.
