Hi! I don't know if self-advertisement is ok in this community, please tell me if it isn't and I'll delete this post. This is a game I've been working on for the last week and I'm not fully certain it'll go anywhere, but it has a small community already, so I figured its worth showing it here

Moloch is a very hard platforming roguelike where health is not health points, and instead, it consists of several conditions that are somewhat simulated and that can result either in a softlock or a death. Yes, being soft locked due to being hurt is part of the experience. It borders the line that separates rage games from the rest.

My idea for the project is to make it be frustrating because of how easy it is to die, and not because of how hard it is to use the controls. I tried my best to make the controls as responsive and smooth as I could, so that the game feels good to get good at.

It is inspired by Noita and Rain World, the former being the one that inspired the roguelike elements and the wands, and the latter being the one that inspired the way I'm handling the difficulty and health.

In any system optimizing for X, the opportunity arises to throw any other value under the bus for optimized X

Thing I did as a test for a possible webcomic I may start.

To do numbers like 10 and up, I use the other hand for the dozens place

I'm experimenting with Godot shaders. This runs pretty smoothly even on my shitty computer that can't even run Minecraft. What do you think?

We have made a space for the Laiqbun community, with a room for the language itself, a room for off-topic conversation and a room for discussion about the fictional culture.

It tries to explain most of Laiqbun basic grammar quickly, and I think it's best used when people can explain you what things are supposed to mean (which are what the discord server and matrix room are there for). I'm pretty proud of it.

I tried out the Searx search engine and searched for laiqbun and found this. I have no idea who made it nor how does it work, but it's pretty cool

I've been working on this thing for a while, and yesterday it reached 100 pages. I copy the format that MSPA uses, since MSPA format is, to me, iconic of extremely convoluted plots that don't make sense at first and escalate a lot

I try to keep the text on each panel short. That way the story doesn't become hard to read. It's got a RSS feed too, to make it easier to follow updates

Updates are usually 6-12 pages, but there have been cases with more or less than that

During the last week, a Mysterious Benefactor paid someone to make an official font for Laiqbun. Making a font for the original Laiqbun script (Raiaqbun) was near-impossible, due to the huge amount of glyphs. So what he did is creating a new writing system that he could actually make a font for. I have called it Raiaqsuq, from the roots reiaq (x₁ is a writing) and seq (x₁ is new).

!

The script is typed slightly different than the romanization and is very different from Raiaqbun, but it still keeps the vibe that Laiqbun is going for. Eschar really did a good job while making this font.

I hope people have as much fun using it as I have.

Man these are fun to make

I've always loved this kinda images, so I'll prolly do some with more complex sentences. That'd be fun
