I would love to play a story in a Harvest Moon or Stardew setting! Maybe with a more set plot, so the player can’t just sleep all year, but with farming and coziness.
Today is my birthday! And I have a few hours free, so I can write. Could I ask for more? Probably not! Write hard, folks!
That’s pretty amazing!
happy birthday:)
Happy birthday
Tanti auguri!
Wow! You speak Italian! Amazing!
Just a few words and phrases. I would love to learn more.
Happy birthday, may your writing be as happy as your birthday! (that sounds positive right?)
@AletheiaKnights if you want I can teach you. We can make an online Italian class. Anybody here is welcome. Let me know
Sign me up!
The only thing I know in Italian is: Amo la pasta.
Just a shameless promo, you could try Italian for the jam. Sounds fun
I know Italian music terms. Da capo al fine!
I’m wondering if I could post in the Feedback Exchange thread about my Master’s Thesis research project… I still need test subjects.
What’s it about?
It’s a short IF game, but unfortunately it needs to be downloaded and requires microphone.
(I need people to play it and then fill a questionnaire.)
So, @AletheiaKnights , @love4tae , @LiliArch and @poison_mara , are you ready to join the online Italian students group? Any other volunteers?
Nah, I’m not joining, I have enough language studies on my plate as it is.
In other news: I wrote the opening verses for my diversity jam game and it feels so good. (On the other hand… the feeling when you’re inspired by an old line of yours you want to include somewhere, you write a scene for that, and… realize you didn’t actually use the line because it doesn’t fit. )
I’m good, French is already taking my time! Maybe next time!
So, I’m also working on two IF’s with a schedule that was already packed XD My best advice are these:
-
Turn off the internet when you write. I literally have a 12 year old laptop that my sister used to use that’s so banged up, it’s a miracle it works XD I pressed the button which turns off the internet and then took out the button entirely to make me focus.
-
Use focus sessions: The human mind can only focus for 20 minutes, and it’s always good to have a 20-30 minute break. There are times when my focus exceeds the time I alotted myself to focus,
-
Read. Read in a way that you learn something. You like something? Read it over 10 times and try to ingrain it in your brain, and then write it yourself.
I’ve read King killer chronicles (The two books) about 4 times now because that’s the only book that I loved to the point it made me want to write and every time I read it, ideas start to pop into my mind. I’m trying my best to Immitate Patrick Rothfuss’s style and have written thousands of sentences from his book to practice how he writes XD
Apparently, I forgot to press enter sooo sorry
I love this idea. I have no time to join, but my kids are learning Italian from my mother as part of their homeschooling program and I’m picking up a bit by overhearing them. My mom learned it later in life (part of our heritage) so I didn’t learn it growing up, but I’m really glad my kids are learning Italian. We’re hoping to take a trip there to visit relatives in Sicily in a couple of years.
Buon compleanno!
