Disillusioned Player

I’m making a hand drawn RPG inspired by Morrowind, Disco Elysium, and the golden age of fairy tale illustration.

Yes, Dverghold is a classic dungeon crawler, but it's also quite a bit more than that. The original pitch for the game was "What if we take roster- and camp-management like in Darkest Dungeon but the dungeon delving part is a "Blobber"-crawler like Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master?" Dverghold creates a genuinely new experience from those ingredients, by combining these elements we add depth to the parts that were kept simpler in the games we drew inspiration from: - DD had proc-gen "disposable" dungeons for quick runs whereas we have one big handcrafted continuous dungeon with an unfolding story, tactical combat, puzzles etc., making that part of the game more like a full-blown traditional CRPG. - The classic dungeon crawler formula gains a new layer, encounters have deeper consequences beyond moment-to-moment gameplay. A bad fight on level 2 means a veteran benched for three days and having to take a green recruit next time. (We didn't have time to implement all of this in the free demo & mostly focused on the dungeon crawling part, but the "full package" will be in the Early Access release!) For now, play the free demo now & Wishlist on Steam, link in bio or comment below 👇

@UcheWizii @popsicle1553 Retributive justice is bad in relation to the well-being of a criminal, but good in itself. In the same way, “bad” that God ordains in history is only “bad” in relation to those experiencing it, not in its cause or end.

@UcheWizii @popsicle1553 No. As I showed above, the passage does not prove that. That two concepts can be expressed by the same word does not mean they are not still distinct concepts. For something to be “bad” *in relation to man* (what “evil” means in Is. 45) does not mean that it is bad in itself.

“How could a good God wipe out a whole society of gay, incestuous, child-sacrificing devil worshipers?”

@UcheWizii @popsicle1553 The Hebrew word ra simply means “bad,” and is used to refer both moral evil and natural calamity. Since it’s contrasted with peace (and in the context of describing the Lord’s sovereignty over historical events) it is obviously being used in the latter sense.

@Disillu_Player @popsicle1553 Isaiah 45:7____“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

@UcheWizii @popsicle1553 Does it now?

@Disillu_Player @popsicle1553 Go back to your bible. It clearly said god created evil.

@UcheWizii @popsicle1553 Evil is the privation of good. It does not have its own independent existence, but exists only as the corruption of that which was created good.

@Disillu_Player @popsicle1553 "original sin"....Who created sin?

@popsicle1553 As to the second, that’s true, as expressed in instructions concerning *ordinary* warfare in the same passage (Dt 20:13-14). But since original sin is inherited corruption of nature in all men prior to “actual sin”, the OT prefiguration of final divine judgment applied to all.

@popsicle1553 As to the first, I know what you’re referencing, but not a single element of your description is present in the text. Not worth addressing.

In the next few years legacy gaming in its entirety will be decompilated with ease and recomped into perfect PC ports using AI tools and released for free by hobbyist devs, completely stepping over the modern industry’s garbage culture of low quality remasters

Defend the peaceful orcs from the hateful Gondorians.

Was very disappointed with the lack of side missions where you get to play as a deaf, black girl in this game.

I don’t have $20 to spend on Mixtape, so I’m just going to hold a controller while watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

The closest thing we have to an illuminated manuscript of Homer is the Ambrosian Iliad from the 5th century. I know it would be a little bit anachronistic, but I think it would be fun to do an illuminated Homer edition using the Bronze Age art motifs and Mycenaean fresco style.
