My DnD char (a bard) casting the spell psychic lance, or how I imagine it would look like.

Animation testing / practice. Quite rough and unfinished, but it's too tedious to really draw out and color all 27 frames, plus I feel like the charge-up and blast could have had some better impact.

@ant_games thank you! The link might be broken though...? It leads me nowhere

Made this a while ago as practice. There must have been a photo reference but I don't have it anymore.
It's nothing special, but for some reason I like how it's missing a subject, haha :yes_cat:

Hi, I'm here to talk about games, movies and whatnot, post my drawings, fanart, comics etc. and see your creations or ideas.

Interested in video game history & trivia, and lesser known / obscure titles that stand out in some way.
Also thinking waaay too much about what makes things fun, or not so fun, and what if, and why, why not and so on...

Some of the open world features that are new in remind me a lot of Ragnarok Online, an MMO that predated WoW and, when it came out, felt like Diablo 2 in a shared, open world.

RO had no real quests, pure grind, but players created their own events or just fooled around more. No general world chat meant that players / guilds hung out in certain spots, etc.
Perhaps due to limitations like these, it felt more like an "online society" than any later game I know.

@britt is there a way to see what instances our instance blocks? Also if we block an instance and there’s a user on that instance that we want to follow still is that possible or is it a no go because their instance is blocked? Hasn’t happened yet but curious how it works!

@iambubbaq @COMPU73E @britt
that's an astonishingly long list, and it makes me wonder how things work on a technical level. So everyone can create a server, but how would it come into contact with this one?

I've been wondering about this in regards to the federated timeline as well. A server "knows" other servers, but is this transitive, that is, if A knows B and B knows C, does A automatically know C as well?

I'm kinda obsessed with Rogue and roguelike games in general (and weird monsters). I was reading this great article from 2016 about their history that I boosted yesterday (thanks to @WoodooProd for alerting me to it).

As I read and poked around the web to check out these early roguelikes, I loved these two screens from a SUPER early roguelike (Pedit5, from 1975).

Monsters loading! 🤣

@jake4480 @WoodooProd it's funny, this pedit5 predates even Rogue (from 1980, right?) so it's been retroactively categorized as rogue like.
Anyways, one of my favorites is dungeon crawl stone soup, or dass for short
