It is still dumb to go to the lying machine to get them. Ask a random person off the street for an idea instead. No idea is dumb, it's how you execute the idea that makes it fun. The plagerism machine can't create anything new. Why deny yourself the starting line.

I had to train myself to be creative when I was little! It feels very strange to say, but being creative is a skill that needs to be trained (at least, it was for me) I admire a lot when people are able to have cool ideas on the fly (kids coming up with cool monsters) for that reason.

As someone who is both (though an artist instead of a dressmaker) ...yeah. This is accurate. The two sides of cozy games, haha.

Good luck!!

Congrats!

Also level design. I miss level design a lot. Bring more thoughtful, structured worlds instead of leaving everything to procedural generation.

(I keep seeing cool story based roguelikes at cons and expos, too! It hurts a lot to not play them haha)

I keep getting headaches with roguelikes. I play a lot of roguelikes that have endings! ...But I am also easily addicted to gambling, and roguelikes can easily tap into the same trap that actual gambling does to my brain.

I ban myself from playing roguelikes nowadays.

Actually, this is more accurate to what I've been doing

JESTER DESIGN! Awesome as hell!

In Japan (if I remember correctly) there was a debate about this too in the doujinshi community, which ended up causing a schism similar to the comic OP posted.
It's nice seeing this pointed out to a larger audience with this comic!

Usually at any big convention (anime con, comic con, etc) you can see them quite frequently! Original comic creators often get drowned out and ignored because people want recognizable fandom merch, especially if the con is themed around a fandom or identity

Goodbye Keezy! I have fun whenever I see you on my feed, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Good luck with your internet!

I like to think of the endings of each character as almost epilogues. If a character got run over by a goat I'd be content. Her being able to have a life of some sort is good enough for me

Yeah! I like endings that aren't necessarily happy but are the endings the character would have. I remember a few of the FEA ones made me laugh, even though they were not completely "happy endings". So long as it fits and is a satisfying end to their arc!
