a thousand miles of sky @athousandmilesofsky - Tumblr Blog

Initial Post

I’m taking a page out of some of my fellow IF game creator’s books and starting a Tumblr for my little space project. This will be a place for updates, answering questions, and throwing up any art I make for the game. I like @thenickelportrust‘s Fun Fact Fridays, I will most likely shamelessly copy the concept.

Play the demo here!

Read more about the game here!

‘the protagonist should be endearing and relatable’ the protagonist should make the audience scream and start banging on the one-way glass of the fourth wall. the protagonist should burn their entire life down and make the world’s worst sandcastle from the ashes. if they aren’t the cause of at least 50% of their own problems what are we doing here

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space

Yes, that’s. That’s where we are.

Objects as spaceships, by Eric Geusz

My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.

It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!

He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D

The kitty herself, Ginger!

He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!

Check out his website, which includes an area to buy prints

You can see more of his work in general on Instagram

And buy T-Shirts too!

God yeah I will hype him every chance I get lol!

Memes shared by kids who grew up on starships I think they should have sea scout/land scout beef with kids that grew up on Starbases

This is legitimately one of the best things I've ever seen on the internet, and it made me intensely happy.

Dashingdon closure and new ChoiceScript WIP site

Dashingdon is closing soon and if you have a WIP hosted there, you have a few options:

Add it to cogdemos.ink, the Dashingdon successor with an updated codebase

Compile it and upload to itchio (make sure it's listed under "no payments" under pricing)

Compile it and share on google drive

Compile it and share on the Choice of Games forum if you have a WIP thread there

hpowellsmith

Please share - I'm going through a ton of WIP threads on the forum this morning to let authors know about this, but there's no guarantee they'll see and it's best that it's as widely known as possible!

#working on getting mine up elsewhere #probably at cogsdemos

Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.

Hi! I don't know if you'll see this but I wanted to ask if you would consider moving the demo for A Thousand Miles of Sky over to a different hosting site since dashingdon is sadly shutting down. Even if the story isn't being worked on anymore, I and others still love to revisit the demo and it would be really sad if it was lost forever. Thanks, and I hope that you're doing well!

Hi @fairylightfairlybright, thank you for the excellent question and well wishes! I'm in the process of moving the demo to the new site, once I've tested it to make sure everything is hooked up right, I'll post a link here and update the original post with the new link.

It really means a lot to me that you're still interested in the game, even though I haven't updated it in years. I can't make any promises about any future updates, but this game is always on my mind and I hope to return to it soon.

Thanks again for the ask!
