“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food
with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country?
Why
does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before
it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards?
Because a
universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place.
Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats,
let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also
be hope.
It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but
let us know that we do not live in vain.”
Terry Pratchett,
A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction
This. Always this.
We are writers. Yes, we write of death and broken dreams and horrors beyond human comprehension, because all of those are parts of life.
But the greatest part of life is hope. That all will not be lost. That we can do better.
Hey guys! I wanted to bring in some new content here this year. i’ve wanted to create a series of tips to help new (and maybe old) coders that may struggle with the design side. The goal here is for everyone to be able to create designs that are easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
I just wanted to open here BIG note, that everyone one will have different tastes when it comes to anything, especially design and skins. Some may be more minimalistic, others maximalists and there is nothing wrong with that! The purpose here is to give you guys some tips to help bring out the best of your strengths :)
Today, I just wanted to share a masterlist of my favourite resource websites to share with everyone! Please check it out below:
“D’Artagnan glances up as a man and woman come in. Renard is about 40, with beautiful clothes and a haughty look; his female companion is simply ravishing, with a regal beauty that quickens the pulse and numbs the senses.”
Our programmer Shawna has released the entire custom pronoun system from OL: N&F for anyone to use in their own Ren'Py projects!
I know having this kind of set-up was too complicated for me to do in the first Our Life, even though it would’ve been ideal. It’s been wonderful having it in the second OL after Shawna put it together. Hopefully having the framework out there will help make it possible for even more stories to include such an in-depth system.
