weirdly it's hard but its not impossible, it's really easy to keep progressing and there's a lot of levels with a lot of variety

I'm reading more into this and hating everything they suggest.

it seems people want a gameplay gif, a trailer, and a playable demo in the introduction email. It also seems like they want final art, or near final art. Also a budget. In order to really pitch, I'd probably have to get artists on board and make some concept art of the final look, and some other key art. the amount of effort to do this is basically almost what it takes to do a kickstarter. doing a kickstarter is a job in and of itself

@kai I've been working on this for about 2 years now, it's actually really unwise to work on a game out of your own pocket fulltime, because you only have so much runway and then that money is just *gone*, not a lot of people can afford to do that. Having a publisher mitigates that risk a lot.

I've been told that the instance is blocking Mastodon dot social, but there hasn't been a date posted on when it's happening, and while I know some of the reasons why it's mainly bits and pieces, so it's kind of muddy. it's hard for me to make a choice without that infoIf wanted to move to another instance to keep my relationships with the people I follow on kitty town, I want it to be under my own terms and not that of what another instance is doing.

this also seems like an ultimatum- "them or us", which I don't abide by. I've been on multiple internet platforms where this happens (Tumblr, Twitter, metafilter) and every time I try to side with someone at the expense of my own comfort to be as "unproblematic" as possible it ends in very real anxiety attacks and depression. I unfortunately had to let those people go for my own sake. it hurt, but it made being online a lot easier

I feel that instance blocking in this case sets a bad precedent, but if the users of Kitty town want that they have a right to do so. I was really worried that me being on Mastodon dot social would make me "problematic" in the eyes of some, but not for something obvious. like, if eugan was acting like J Dorsey or Lowtax, then I would absolutely have moved. I disagree with some of what Eugen does but he's one developer, he's under a lot of constraints

I don't want to think about looking for work. I refresh job pages daily and apply to relevant listings if/when they show up. I really REALLY need to keyword match my resumes before sending them and I need a way to quickly make new versions of my resume for each application. i would rather not do this ever again. like. I would almost rather try to land a game publishing deal
