v20.52 Sun Turn Update


Happy Solstice! Sun did bounced. Once, i lived with huge seasonal storms, now i live with drought. I miss storms. #stormdream 💤💭🌀 Tried to basket all launch nitpick micro revisions below. Also, page 64 spun out? idk it’s fine.


made like a leaf & renamed

  • class, body, back, hands, feet, head & backpack

to

  • litter, lamina, midvein, margin, stem, apex & bulb

on the character sheet.​


embraced it & made

.8. Give yourself 3 Gold.

.9. Add “took a name” to What Have I Done.

say

.8. Equip glyph table drop results as gear.

.9. Add all taken names to Who Have I Met?


refilled character sheet “Language Wraps”:

  • added check boxes to skills
  • moved skills to “What Have I Done”
  • added actual skills to Skills
  • deleted i.want
  • created stare.io

finally decided to just merge pg 38’s

blood drop emoji

mechanic into pg 53’s

storm emoji

couldn’t tell you why i thought the player side and the world side of direct damage should be different. Also, i don’t like the storm as much as the drop. (The drop is mammally subtle, in a “shriek when you see it” sort of way? nvm.) I edited the og pages mostly in the order they appear, so blood drop came first, but then the storm had more staying power. I don’t know. I’m torn. Maybe the drop is better? For a different game, then.

□ Finding yourself reaching a new biome □ Finding yourself sketching a new plant + recording 1 relation of it (which — soil? bird?) □ Finding a fauna’s strong + weak axes (do hopes here balance out? Are there more?) □ Finding a Rest pile by losing connection □ Finding a new person + greeting them.

& it made me super sad. It’s standard game design, but i hate it. I don’t want to invite people to play that game. So, i changed it to a game i do what to invite people to play:

□ Finding yourself reaching a new sun ray □ Finding yourself sketching a new mood + recording 1 relation of it (which — soil? bird?) □ Finding a hope’s strong + weak axes (do hopes here balance out? Are there more?) □ Finding a Rest pile by losing connection □ Finding a new cell + greeting them.


expanded an example from

Example: you seek a bird of moonlit feathers the forums say is on your server. Your feather dress could really use a plume. You wave 🍁8 for RNG against the plume’s 🍁20. You wave 6. The plume waves 12. You lose the psithur. You lose 6 connection.

got more specific on the humus, taking it from up here

Let’s call the horizons in your litter the humus. Each one is a memory one of you can call to, reminds you to sleep, or sets you up perfectly. Every 10 want you engulf, enter a new horizon by dropping a leaf on the box below to see how your level of connection ferments through you.

down to here

All your lost connection, either healed or lost, is here. Anything not on the Activity Log composes your humus, blind habits savoring shards of you. Every 10 want you engulf, enter a new horizon by dropping a leaf on the box below to see how your wavering connection ferments your play.
