Some of these templates would look right at home in a VN for the upcoming spooktober jam ๐Ÿ‘€

Skolaztika also has a bunch of other high-quality templates, so taking a look at their profile is worth it

@ezlin @visualnovels yeah it was one of my first "proper" VNs as well :blobmiou:

@Kiosade @Drusenija Today was early access, the official release is July 2

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

@Drusenija This is one of my favorites so far!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

@Drusenija pls squeenix....my crops are withering and ravens are eating my mustard seeds...just a few more glamour plates ๐Ÿฅบ

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

@Drusenija the increased armory bonus ๐Ÿ‘€

@Drusenija @Berin Your glam is really cute!! I really dread cleaning out my inventory ๐Ÿซ  I plan to play picto so, i should prepare some gear as well..

@ffxiv Also story-wise, Yoshi-P recommends to take a look at the Alliance raids and the convocation... ๐Ÿ‘€

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

@ffxiv My takeaways so far:
- Chat bubbles are on the way!
- 2-Dye channels look pretty good
- Yoshi-P mentioned multiple times that they want to get more experimental with mechanics again, and I can't wait to see what they'll come up with!
- I'm still unsure if I'll like PCT or not - the paint mechanic looks kind of annoying to use with the cast-time, still gonna try it though

Current findings:

The post immediately showed up in the techncs community, image and all, but it didn't get boosted on here. The image description didn't federate though. The feddit community did nothing at all.

After I added the sh.itjust.works community, it actually boosted the post as expected and now when i click on the original post on tchncs, it redirects me to the sh.itjust.works version suddenly ๐Ÿค”

Comments did not federate at all, but maybe I just broke it

@lorty I'm trying to clear Eureka Orthos (which would be my first Deep Dungeon clear) for glam. Apart from that I'd like to finish the raid tier as well, I've only cleared P8S :/
