7 Months of long nights (knights?) went into making this follow up album. I sincerely hope you all enjoy it. - and thank you so much for the encouragement to keep doing it. 🫶

⚔️ Where You Are is live. A knight walks into hell to save the woman he loves. What follows is blood, mud, steel, and sacrifice. Watch the official video now: youtu.be/D67WFQVelOc?si…

@ThrillaRilla369 Then I fight naked. Its a hell of a battle tactic. People breaking in going to certainly hesitate seeing a giant naked dude coming at them from the dark. Hahaha

People who sleep naked do ya'll ever think about emergencies? What if someone breaks in?

@colosoglobal Linework is the foundation, but light is always life.

What brings life and depth to a drawing? It’s all in the way you shape light and shadow Light direction,✨ occlusion, edge control master the essentials.

@Acyn "I surround myself with the 'best' people."

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

@JaeGamez 60hrs+ in so far high 8, low 9 so far but many many more hours to go and the more time I spend with it, it has only gotten better. I expect my rating to creep up.

It's nice to see Crimson Desert getting generally positive feedback and a solid 8.5 user score on Metacritic. I worried it might be more divisive from the mixed impressions, but the consensus is settling positively. What do you rate your Crimson Desert experience out of 10??

@The_Fenixdown @AI_EmeraldApple Thanks Eric

@VOLGARR @AI_EmeraldApple I, for one, really appreciate what you did with Volgarr. Fantastic games!

Game journalists are still complaining that Crimson Desert is too hard, and it needs a "difficulty slider". The game is designed to be played as is, and it's up to the player to adjust the difficulty of the game with the use of consumables, resurrection items, and upgrades. Don't have great reflexes? Then farm up a ton of consumables and spam them during the fight to make it easier, and upgrade weapons and gear. Too many people are used to games with so many difficulty settings where it's just a faceroll at the lowest difficulty, also known as "journalist mode", which allows journalists to beat the game. In the 90's, and many games of the 2000's did not have difficulty sliders, and were designed to be experienced as is.

@Masters_oM Haha, well done guys. This one got a chuckle out of me.

🤩

@Tenmar @AI_EmeraldApple Yep, and that is perfectly ok. What people need to understand better is that those things don't make games "bad games"

@VOLGARR @AI_EmeraldApple I remember trying to get Ending B and A in the first Volgarr. I couldn't do it. I always messed up in one of the stages. Good times. Some games take time and practice that people don't have the time to practice.

@OverdrawGames I dont. Lost my sanity making games somewhere back in 2006. 🤪

I’m making a video game solo right now and I have to remind myself of the following: The number of wishlists I have is not tied to my self worth. The game is not for everyone, some will love it, others will hate it and that’s okay. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Burnout is the biggest danger of not finishing. Community and fan enthusiasm are big motivating factors in keeping up with development. It’s important to stay engaged What do you tell yourself to help you stay sane? #gamedev #indiedev

@JoshuaBuritto Yes very very much so.

To the owners of Crimson Desert who have the game Are you guys enjoying the game

@elonmusk Well duh... thats an accessibility thing. However it's also saying Honda Civic has over taken the amount of Lamborghinis on the road. Yup, not surprising.

AI content will vastly exceed all human content

@winterapple_dev Starving to death!

Indie developers, what motivates you to work further on your game? #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

@OverdrawGames I dont. Lost my sanity making games somewhere back in 2006. 🤪

@JoshuaBuritto Yes very very much so.

@kiltpossum Ign has a videos explaining and supporting the "upcoming" review. I wouldn't be too hung up on ign, everything is 6.5 ;)

@VOLGARR I looked up the articles IGN had and nothing other than the review ( which mentioned problems steam users had) is negative? Hours ago they posted a guide on pickpocketing which would be a weird thing to do for a game they want to supposedly destroy

Wow, the gaming press is continuing to work overtime on trying to convince millions of people having a great time playing Crimson Desert that they are wrong for enjoying themselves. Angry their reviews had little to no impact and furious they can't start the rage machine because people are having too much fun for the most part to notice. Developer also very fast to address issues. Makes you wonder how these websites make their money when the rage baiting to drive traffic isn't working and they start to panic.

Talk to @grok about this. Its the #1 way to get engagement currently. Its unhealthy and sad really. I hope this and other social media platforms realize the kind of damage this is causing to people in general and get more involved with solving the problem rather than just throw hands up and say... oh well.

@VOLGARR I was just talking to a friend about this and it applies to basically everything now. Negativity is now rewarded with money and positivity gets pushed down and ignored for the most part. Rage=clicks and clicks= money. Until that changes, it seems like it will only get worse.

I'm sure you got google like everyone else, but Polygon, Kotaku, IGN and more keep releasing negative leaning articles post negative reviews in "Hey look at me" style attention grabbing "You should be as mad about this as we are" type crap. Some going as far as to make videos and follow-ups trying to double down. Normally when they are "affective" they just write a negative review and leave it alone, but all the follow-up articles and justifications demonstrate they are frustrated by rebuke.

@VOLGARR Do you have an example of this?
