zakthedrak is creating something💙

I suppose this article is timely considering The deal with Paramount and WB.

I'm not going to stop making art . And neither should you. Being black and queer and a mother the odds are already stacked against me..so I will carve it my own way.

Currently restructuring my portfolio+business website! (Because I will not pay Squarespace twice😤)

Send the help actions as I learn Cargo🤣 I really love the look and price but it’s NEW

Modern Harlem, magical problems. A shady corporation, a ticking clock, and a community that refuses to be pushed around.

Resistance is better when it’s collective. These are the Horns of Harlem.

New York City is a magical place with glamour salons, elixir pharmacies, and the gods in the parks after dark.

Racing to a Harlem rent party, our heroes cut through Central Park, but something is wrong. Time bends, the gods roam, and cops spoil the shortcut.

It’s 3922, and ancestral “art” is known to be real magic. On the eve of the Intergalactic Remembrance Ceremony, revisionists plan to steal Harlem Renaissance works to rewrite history. As protectors and magicians, our heroes are the last line of defense.

Me, anytime I'm explaining a game design concept from Soothwardens:

"Have you seen this anime*/animated show? It's like that"

I couldn't find the gif, but this is brought to you by me bringing up Frieren to explain "Risky Actions".

Enjoy this Castlevania gif, as this show is an huge inspo too

🤩🤩🤩🤩

Three thousand years ago, the planet looked much different. Large continents spread across vast oceans, giving shape to a wide variety of peoples, wildlife, and landscapes. Then, the Cascade came. Vibrant green meteors crashed down in overwhelming numbers across land and water. Mages, and colossal planetary guardians, called Omirim rushed out in eight directions to save what they could. While tidal waves of earth and sea crashed against their magic, they pushed, driving the land from behind them out into a ring to combat the onslaught. The dust of the shattered and burned meteors drove through their barrier, mixing with the magic and washing over them. As their gigantic forms began to petrify, the Omirim sang out in a funeral song. This song, this dirge, reshaped the world to save the small humans that were left behind. Where once were multiple continents and oceans spread across the planet, now sat a circular ring of mountain range reaching to the clouds. One ocean sat in the middle, thousands of miles wide in every direction, so that almost every bit of hospitable land rested between shore and mountainside. The surviving humans lived and rebuilt off of the space between. The Ring still managed to contain a multitude of environments, temperatures and landscapes in what was left. But the tumultuous restoration of the planet’s new shape brought on challenges for the young human population. As they built around them, they found that many of the flora and fauna from before had changed, somehow affected by the Cascade. New prey animals began to roam the land, both in herds and in solitude. With them, came new predators. But something worse than predators came as well...

A massive petrified statue of a humanoid figure called an Omirim pushing against the wall of a mountainside. Above it is the oncoming evening sky full of stars, and below it is a countryside and the far off image of a city. The city and countryside look diminutive because of the scale, and the image perspective is set from out in the ocean.

A little Soothwardens lore and visual drop, while I work on finalizing the quickstart 👀

I love this article because it talks about a simple way to reduce crunch - not announcing dates too early!

The way people have had to pivot around the chaos of this year on a dime…if you’re still out here creating anything WITHOUT AI (especially for free) crunch shouldn’t be on your radar babes😤💅
