cool 😎🆒 the electric zine maker got a mention in the irish times! i like the term gen-zine 🆒
https://www.irishtimes.com/life-style/people/2026/03/08/gen-zine-young-people-are-ditching-digital-for-home-made-publications-and-community/
it’s really 🆒 to see EZM brought up in places like this. it seems established as part of zine making! like you can do zines this way or this way or use ezm or this way~🆒

another beautiful comment to “she danced in the wind like a holographic dream”
✨
“Your ability to write words both painful yet healing is the most breathtaking part of this game poem.”
omg 🙏🥹💕

still very touched by people’s responses to my latest game, “before the world died”, whenever i go lurking on various let’s plays of it.

i’m relieved to see it out in the world and feel extremely blessed to have been able to make it. it’s very close to my heart ❤️‍🩹

The OST for my latest game "she danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died" is here!
https://alienmelon.itch.io/flower/devlog/1413944/the-ambience-ost-for-before-the-world-died
"Although the project uses a lot of procedurally generated audio, there's also classic ambience work that can be turned into an OST of sorts."

“she danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died” is coming to Steam March 4th! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4430780/she_danced_in_the_wind_like_a_holographic_dream_before_the_world_died/
it passed all inspection 🎉
i will also release the soundtrack (the non procedural parts) because it’s beautiful ambience and i’m sure some will enjoy it.

lol i am enjoying seeing the response of some more gamerly gamer types find out that this is about reading (interactive literature) and discovering that they like it.
poetry in video games works! 💕

"I'm not sure there will even be the bridge building and discussions needed, between gamers and developers, to create something better. You can't have that if it's always turned into an "us VS them" argument."

“how dare you call me out on my racist sexist comment. here’s more racist sexist harassment to punish you.”
i will never understand why gamers frame gaming as this type of angry violent thing, where they will defend any and all abuse.

i’m about to publish my new game to Steam but please for the love of god start supporting other storefronts by buying games elsewhere too. devs get more money for barely a fraction of the abuse in other places.

in my uphill battle of releasing a video game (it's never done even when it's done) i fixed a bunch more bugs! but also i have a silent playthrough of it on my youtube now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReNNwg5nlzA
i'm preparing to make a trailer! and also my youtube hit over 800 subscribers so i feel like today is the day of celebrating tiny victories. 😌

update to the new game:
the blinking main menu bug is fixed now...
https://alienmelon.itch.io/flower/devlog/1379934/bug-fixes-no-more-blinking-main-menu
i intend to also do a long form blog post where i talk about the technical things that went into it. i think my experience with procedural content generation will be interesting to talk about...

this playthrough was touching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs49GubRbSA
there's something incredibly cathartic about seeing a person play the part where i included real comments of online hate i got about my SA, and the player being appalled by the things people say.
this entire thing was meaningful to see!

RE: @alienmelon@mastodon.social

just gonna add that…
i hope you all enjoy it. i put ALL of myself in this.
while i made it, it was just me art-venting about what i survived… but now it’s relevant with all the discussions about abuse, predators, and power going on.

🤯 omg “she danced in the wind like a holographic dream” is already nearly there to fund a steam release!!! thank you SO MUCH @ everyone that played it, shared it, and paid for it. i still have to properly announce this game (im resting), but the reception means a lot.
someone “called it life altering” 😭 omg 🙏💕

it already got featured on itch and warpdoor https://warpdoor.com/2026/02/13/she-danced-in-the-wind-like-a-holographic-dream-before-the-world-died/

do the math on how much money they are voluntarily, intentionally losing here. how disconnected from the industry that your tools are catering to do you need to be to think this is a good move??
