Iris by the goo goo dolls

[dawnnightfall]

Makes me think even more about a server I wanna make with just this demographic... Society can be overbearing and supressing, so having a place where we can all interact instead of just going into small little mole holes while the storm settles would be nice.

[dawnnightfall]

Recently, I've felt nothing but misery in terms of my own sense of self. Like nobody looks my way, nobody cares for me for who I am, but for what I can give.

I was tired of being used when I genuinely am just a weird person with an intense love for their own world. A person who hoped others would have enough interest to ask, but nobody does.

I've been lost since my closest friends have departed a bit. Not fully, but without them it all feels empty. And even then, I felt cheated out of connection I truly was working for to keep, just for them to turn to others more easily because I'm just too intense and caring. I did too much and I suffer for it.

So this is my final cry for help. Something I made in a moment of desperation, a moment where I didn't want to feel alone.

Some will find what I have to show as just some cute romantic snippet: if you understand it as such, then perhaps you don't quite understand me either, and that's fine.

But if you do understand and relate, I just wanna let you know that, I'm just as weird, ok? And I too wish people would be honest and commit as much as we do. It may seem hopeless to talk to someone who may not see/exist here. But giving up is not part of my dictionary.

This is the first ever text U made with these underlying themes, but the point of it is to see who will be able to pick apart and understand the characters and look past simple care and love for each other.

<< Nest of Love: A short story

I'm not panicking or anything but… Ok maybe I am panicking! What should I do? They… are so beautiful… To think I'd fall for the very thing my Nemesis is named after… oh my god what will I say??? They have only seen me in this form! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why am I so sensitive and never prepared! Focus Dawn, this is finally your chance to co-exist with… people! And… stuff! 

This dim lit dinner was not lit by any normal candle. It was lit by a beautiful phoenix. I knew they were hiding it, my mind is too strong to be unable to see such a form. 

Awkwardly it went on, until I couldn't keep myself quiet. 

“I have to tell you something very important… I'm not actually-”

“You're a Dragon, yes. I am very much aware.”

“... You do…? Haha… uhm… I should also admit I know what you are too.”

“I know! It's awkward, right? You run around with a form that is pleasant to humans just to not be hunted down by every hunter, museum and mythos enthusiast. It becomes… Tiring.”

“I just didn't want to crash the party… I wanted to keep it a secret so it could all be a normal night out.”

“Hmm… Normal… I agree. It is… too normal. I have an idea. Come outside. I have an idea.”

Outside… 

“What are we doing, exactly?”

“You're a dragon right?”

“And you're a Phoenix, yes. “

“So, you know what that means, right?”

“Uh-”

“The skies belong to us.”

“What are you… saying?”

“C’mon! Stop being scared and just come fly with me!”

“I-I can't… there are still some problems with my form… I can't quite remember my life as a dragon yet… So I can't do it at will.”

“Well, the skies say otherwise”

The moon slowly comes alive, showing it is a full moon. 

“Is that…”

“A full moon. Its shine reveals the true form of all who gaze upon it. So? Are you ready?”

“What? N-no!”

“That's ok. We don't need to be ready to fly. All we need is a burning heart to take to the skies.”

The elytrian esc form of the Phoenix is replaced with a true Phoenix, shining its brilliant wings. I… slowly looking upon the moon, began changing too. 

“Meet you in the night sky.”

After it was over, a soothing moonlit force gave me my true form and we soared through the skies. For the first time in my life, I saw the small little world below with someone who felt just as outcasted as me. I slowly soothed my wings and let myself be taken by the night winds, and soared across the city. It was one of the greatest nights of my life. >>

Vent - Feeling lost a demotivated about my passion

If I'm gonna be totally honest with myself, I really, really have a passion for this world that's been piling up in my head for 3 years.

Thing is, my brain craves an audience for my work, it craves to be seen. But most of what I do is based on how much people care. And once some people disappeared from this part of my life, I lost that motivation. It's not that I don't have good ideas. I think I do. I think my story is worth telling. Part of me says this story and world would be a smash hit for my dream game. But again.

Nobody really has looked at me and said "Yeah, I'd love that to be a real thing that's out there". Even if it takes years, I've wanted incentive to grow. As an ADHD 17 year old in college, it's made even harder. And then when I end up scrolling away yet again, my nights are filled with the thoughts of the effort I could be putting towards building a community... Yet I don't quite know how to do that.

Especially when I look at people infamous within their communities and feel "I wanna have the impact that person has", just to wake up to my current reality.

I know this is a very analytical venting post but...

I'd wager it is better for my brain's messy thoughts to be out there so I can feel like I at least did something to help myself.

To tell people that yes. I'm lost. I'm demotivated. And I admit it. But I don't wanna be ignored, I want to be helped, I want people to ask questions. I want people to be excited for what I do one day.

One day. And it burns my insides every day, because to me that is my purpose in life and being unable to work towarda a goal because you are tied to close support from peers that left you... Hurts. I didn't ask for this. I would do it alone if I could... But I can't.

And now all I can do is scream my struggles into a vacuum in hopes of feeling better and getting advice.

Sorry. Maybe this isn't what you want from a world building and ocs post. But it's the closest community I could find that... Could enjoy my own projects, without the entire dream game thing.

[dawnnightfall]

I just... Have no motivation. To do anything. With the stuff I have. It sucks so much.

I feel the need to express that, I long for a person that is able to fill the role of someone who is there to support me, my project, criticize my art, help me learn, be interested in my projects... I just want that one thing...

But who am I kidding. I'm screaming into a void. It's not like one post is gonna magically make a person perfect for me and my project appear...

[aspdzai]

Being otherkin is crazy like…

What are you doing in this situation

[theron-kin]

me when the other students don't understand how taproots work

[dawnnightfall]

Alright. Let me say it. I'm currently going through busy and tough times. Juggling college, gaming and building my world. All alone. And I...

I crave that support ok? I wanted someone who would be really invested in my dream project. Someone who would ask me instead of me asking everyone else and poking dms. Someone who was there for me when I felt lazy. Someone who genuinely cared.

I made this account trying to fill a void that well... Tried filling with small little pieces. I have a ton in my mind but barely any energy to go express it because I don't feel like people care. I feel stuck. And I fantasize about the person that is out there waiting for someone like me to show up in their lives and be best buds.

It's the truth. It's very unrealistic, but it's the truth. And I need to throw it out there. Because I can't take the feeling of loneliness I have felt ever since I was left to work on my dream world and game alone. To the point where my energy went poof.

I know you're out there... Even if it may be a stretch... I got so desperate I made a scene in my world to mirror my feelings on the matter, just way more extreme.

That's how much it has gotten to me. It's midnight here. I'm anxious, I'm burning for motivation. I'm burning for the people who will care about my project, and the one person who will be special and care like no other.

No matter how far fetched, I wanna believe you're out there.

I love you guys. Seriously, these communities have been nothing but joy, but I can't scroll my art channels without feeling envious. I can't stand still without thinking about writing.

I tell myself "You suck, you should post more stuff if you really want attention you moron, you're just lazy".

I need that help. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. But I still believe in that person.

60k+ Word Worldbuilding Masterpost

This is the masterpost of my worldbuilding series. I originally created this document in 2022 for personal use, and have since decided to make it publicly available for others who may find it useful. :P

The material is extensive and intentionally thorough. Rather than attempting to absorb everything at once, I highly recommend approaching it selectively; focus on the sections most relevant to your current project and build outward from there. Worldbuilding is not a checklist to complete, but a framework to support your creative work.

If there are additional topics you would like to see explored, you are welcome (and encouraged!) to reach out. I regularly expand and refine these guides, and suggestions are always considered. New guides are made weekly. Make sure to check back often!

Thinking about following this as a guideline after the worldbuilding post didn't get much attention. I hope to talk more about it soon!

[dawnnightfall]

It seems word building has won! Since I don't really have a big thing to talk about, but I have most answers in hand, I'd like to make this a little AMA of sorts.

Ask me anything about the world of Project Rebel!

[theron-kin]

Q: Do you have a set world map? If so, how does the climate work? (Thinking about weather patterns, crazy storms, geomagnetic events, solar storms from an orbiting star, etc!)

Also - not sure if you meant to do this, would have left some questions in replies but it might be a privacy setting. Hope you do not mind reblogged inquiries!

[dawnnightfall]

Currently, the world map isn't very far in, but it is like this:

Earth: It's around the same geographically, but certain areas are more flooded due to the Atlantis creatures rebelling. This means every border is pushed inward. There is also the Island of Avalon, home to the Avalorian species, which is currently destroyed because of its home tree which held the island together collapsing, and also being scalped for goods. Russia is also done for, as a nuclear war took out all their territory, forcing the survivors to move to old allies and enemies, which caused a lot of controversy and stir in politics.

As for Theia, the moon, it is divided into elemental kingdoms which are managed by the Proviciads of Dractera, who are also war lords and those who give and negotiate territories. Despite being a safe haven for magic, similar problems to the earth dwellers in terms of history have appeared, which has led the group to expedition on earth in secret to gather more info and knowledge on how to get through the crisis, but there is also a tension within the dragons who run it of discrimination against wyverns and non true european based dragons, as well as tensions of war from humans. A lot of things to manage and may unfold in the story itself, depending on what each leader and member does, as well as the kingdoms' kings/queens and their people.

Voting ended onMar 17

[dawnnightfall]

Alright, the poll is not over yet, but I'd say Gameplay is winning by a landslide so let me lay out how this game works, bit by bit!

Part 2 - Gameplay (PvP and PvE)

Project Rebel has quite a different take on how a team shooter operates. It is still a work in progress, so feedback would be appreciated!

2.1 - Format

The game's format is 7v7. Not 5v5, not 6v6...7v7. Revolutionary, I know, but I felt like this decision would help with solidifying its identity. I'm also thinking about making it similar to Deadlock and removing mirror matchups. In my honest opinion, mirror matchups are boring, so matching players into interesting combinations would definitely feel better. I cannot really confirm this because, due to the initial size of the roster, I'm not sure if that would make matchmaking too long.

2.2 - Maps and objectives

Maps in this game are very interesting, because unlike mobas and hero shooters, each map has a decent amount of space, fit for bigger characters to pass through, as well as more cover than normal which helps out in navigating and positioning without needing your team all the time. There are also overall less sightlines into other map sites, making long range engagements harder to set up, encouraging active gameplay. The maps consist of 3 zones with a terminal. These terminals are like small bomb site zones, that work like zone flips. You go there to hack them back into your team to capture them and gain points, and then have to defend them for a bit while they flip. This sets a standard for the game: individual impact is higher on offense whilst the team efforts are more impactful whilst defending the terminal. 2 zones start belonging each side, with extra zones on the sides if mid. Mid is a more exposed area of the map that has those zones that unlock later and nets 2x times the points per second, but also takes twice as long to hack. Teamplay to take this zone is very important, but if you send too many people, the other 4 zones are exposed, so teamplay is very encouraged in this event. There are also various crystal shards that spawn across the map that we will talk about later, but they are a very important part of the game.

2.3 - Abilities and economy

Abilities work a bit differently from most games. Ever played warframe? You know how abilities cost a set amount of energy? Well, here, something similar occurs! Each character has a stamina bar that can be used to cast different types of abilities:

Primary fire: Their main weapon. Doesn't cost any stamina.

Secondary fire: Either an alternate weapon fire or an ability. If it is an ability, it costs stamina.

Ability 1 and 2: Cost stamina below 50.

Ultimate: Generally cost 50 or more + an ultimate charge that charges with player activity. Once used, stamina regeneration is briefly buffed to compensate. This is meant to make ultimates feel like these big, powerful exhausting abilities, without making the player completely worthless afterwards.

Each player also has a character based passive as well as 2 classes out of 10 total, which give them extra buffs to play around their archetypes. The class based nature of these characters is meant to challenge the traditional 3 way system of dps, support, tank, and aim for a more "Pick whichever fist your playstyle". I aim to make team comps less important and team play just as important with these features in place.

This also means you can cast multiple of the same ability one after another, in quick succession, after a short cooldown. But, if you do it too much (say, you try to use a small ability like 4 or 5 times or a big one 2 or 3 times), you may get exhausted, which doubles the cost of your next abilities for a set amount of time. This means you can't just waste your whole stamina bar at once spamming one specific ability, whilst opening up plays never possible with a cooldown system.

Each player also chooses an item before the match starts, but it can be swapped mid match. It is meant to be a customization option to help certain characters fight against others. For example, a side arm item to deal with flier while playing melee. The only caveat is that these items have long traditional cooldowns, so be careful with their usage.

As well as an item, each player can hold up to 2 crystal shards. These shards spawn around the map and have an elemental effect. There are ten in total. Each of them can be used as a mini ability, or upgraded by fusing it with another crystal, creating a more powerful and thematically appropriate item. I like to call this battle artificery.

It is one of the main themes of the game's narrative and the power source to many things in both Earth and Theia, so it just made sense to keep everything on theme.

2.3.5 - Quick melee, parry and flight

Depending on the type of character, they may have one or more of these 3 things:

Quick melee - Everyone has one. It does nice quick damage to finish someone off.

Parry - Melee only. Stops attacks from projectiles and melee weapons from damaging the player. This one is more complex than the others, having many caveats that make it high risk high reward that cannot be really shown in text.

Flight - Small qol like liftoffs into flight, glides and flights that cost stamina or not depending on the character.

2.4 - Modifiers

This is one of our latest additions: Modifiers. They are small buffs to characters that you can build before starting a game and make the character fit a slightly more appropriate playstyle catered to you, or just make something silly.

3.preview - PvE

Our main goal is to not only make a great PvP, but also a great PvE. In PvP, your goal is to get a bunch of points, and other game modes may be made, but that one PvP gamemode is our multiplayer PvP focus.

PvE, which will receive just around the same focus, is going to use the same heroes and systems such as shards and mods, and place you in missions around the world, following a big overarching story where various tyrants threaten the very balance of Earth as well as Theia. Right now, the story is more based on the game's characters, so I will discuss PvE as well more during the characters part, so stay tuned for that.

I hope everyone liked my brief (lie) presentation! I am very passionate about this project and I truly believe this will bring a breath of fresh air to the shooter genre, whilst keeping essential familiar gameplay tropes and focusing on lore and character Integration that makes the fight feel real.

Thank you for reading! If you have any questions, I have all day and night, just comment down below and I'll answer! I hope y'all can help me make this a real thing one day!

Also, I'd like to know if anyone wants me to do some concept images for something they are interested in, perhaps? I'm not sure how much impact art would have in my visibility but I'm open to it!

[dawnnightfall]

Whenever I go to sleep, I always stay up thinking about something at night. I'm always the most motivated when I have people I can share things with and feel a connection in the things we discuss.

The past few days I've moved forward and I'm happy I did. But I feel like I keep trying to move away from real interaction. Because I'm scared I won't find the people who would actually be interested in this to a deeper level.

Because part of my mind says people will, look at it and think "Another hero shooter like game? We already have enough of those!", but I know that I have iterated on ideas and innovated enough for it to be classified as a genre mix, which makes it even harder to find the people it really clicks with.

That and my entire identity thing makes me always wonder if I'm making the right decision... So I decided, I'm done letting my mind dictate what is comfortable and safe.

I advise getting contextualized with who I am and my recent appearance on the site before answering, but I'll leave it to you tumblr.

What should I do to build a community/find people who connect with me and my dreams?

Hello everyone. I've come to share something special. Recently, I've been feeling quite lonely, as a dragonkin who lurks online a lot... I w

[dawnnightfall]

Updated my Dawn ref with claws and bigger and spikier wings. Tryna decide on hair and parts with fur in a way that fits, thinking about doing one of those very puffy back hairs that span at least from head to wings. What do yall think?

[dawnnightfall]

Fluff, teeth and bigger limbs!

Was trying to make the body match more european because it was getting a tad too slender, and now I'm thinking of making the tail shaped/fluffy like a dream catcher! I think it would be super cute!

[dawnnightfall]

Recently, I've made the first steps to show Project Rebel and personal works of mine to the world. Now, I feel like I'm ready to start making bonds again, after such a long period of ups and downs.

For context, I've been sharing a concept I wanna make of a hero shooter with moba aspects and modern fantasy themes, with most of the cast being unique non-human characters.

I wanted to ask yall what is the best space to bond over my love for the concept? I've been scared of making a move into a discord server for a while for example because I know how dangerous it can be but I also can't sit still forever on my ideas. It's been 3 years, it is time to move along and find people who could care and be good friends.

Anyone got any recommendations on what I should do?

[dawnnightfall]

Hello everyone. I'm here to share part of the concept for Codename: Project Rebel, the modern fantasy PvE/PvP story hero shooter game I wanna develop in the future. I hope you enjoy! This will all be split into parts! So stay tuned!

Part 1: The story.

A long time ago, the moon did not orbit the earth. It was a fragment of an astral body by the name of Theia. Theia would split into many parts, creating the moon. In this universe, Theia is the holder and keeper of magic. It never truly split, instead it sent various cores, elemental keepers of magic in the shape of orbs, into the earth that inplanted magic into its soil. As humans came to be, magical creatures came to be as well and they grew along together. Before the event, humans were the dominant species by a wide margin, but as time went on, humans were outmatched by all magical races. Humans, compelled to find the secrets of the earth, explored and conquered, making many successful provinces and countries. Despite being pioneers of many expeditions and having very versatile skill sets, magic always beat them, and as time went on, they started to become obsolete. Fearing they'd eventually dwindle and go extinct, they began slowly waging war on magical creatures together. Discriminating against them, condeming them for using magic and even killing them for even existing. They were constantly tried unfairly and almost anybody even related to magic was found and killed, even humans at times. These were the times of the witch trials. Due to the trials, magicak creatures came together to fight the oppression, and humans retaliated with violence. The humans, after slowly killing magical creatures over the years, had dwindled their population and leadership enough for them to retreat and leave the earth behind for Theia, building more complex societies in different conditions there. With earth for mostly themselves, humans, along with the few magical creatures who remained began expeditions on the cores and its power sources, many of them using these weaker magical creatures as labor pawns. They'd create artifical magic from crystals underground, those who practice it now known as artificers, the only legal way of doing magic in most of the world. Skip to the 21st century. With this injustice and discrimination still seething through the cracks, as well as corrupt forces rising up from recent discoveries, a group of rebels stepped up to interrupt many operations with violence. They were no heroes, just forces of karma within society that laid justice as they saw fit, to compensate for the lack of it. They only became more relevant as time went one, recruiting more and more agents to take on missions, not just to kill, but to uncover illegal operations, corrupt higher ups and helping local societies hold themselves up to the cruel world. This was the goal of this team, as they executed their plan, known as Project Rebel. These various heroes, which are the playable characters, go on missions in teams to take down these opposing forces, as well as completing requests from allies. (By the way, 90 percent of characters are non-human! So less generic human only casts!).

And this, is the backbone of the last 3 years of my concept game. It's obviously very ambitious, but I've had amazing support over the years for the concepts here and ones I have yet to share. I hope you liked this post and make sure to comment down below which topic I should cover next!
