Fuck it, I was gonna make an intro post but.

Back around 10-12 my dreams started taking place in a noticably concrete world. Buildings maintained purpose and location, I found I could easily navigate and remembered shortcuts found in earlier dreams. A world I could escape into every time I fell asleep.

Consider this my dream journal, my vent piece, a map of my inner world. I don't really know if it'll qualify a game, but I don't really have a better term for what this is.

I've wanted to make this for literal years, I started planning this game at 19, working as a mcdonalds cashier. And finally I'm in a stable-ish enough point where I can work on it.

Oh, no. No. No, we are not doing this. 

Listen, IDK how seriously any stance I have on the matter is gonna be taken, because I am Funnee Reaction Images Guy, the gimmick blog on Tumblr. But with all sincerity, if you’re a terf in my notes, please go away. Feel free to block me if you have to, but I don’t want to engage with you, and I don’t want you to engage with me. This blog supports, and will always support, transgender people in any and all shape and form.

Reblog to let the terfs know you support the trans community!

PLEASE HELP.

My gf and i are disabled neurodivergent trans enbys who fled a red state due to not feeling safe, as well as being unable to leave the house in 110+ tempertures without fainting after covid. We made it safe to Portland and have been in a hostel her for a while, but ive drained my savings to keep us off the street. We have jobs starting soon but not soon enough to pay to stay here or find a permanent place to live, and the people that offered us somewhere to stay have been radio silent for over a week!

We need $100 a night to keep our room and I only have it booked until sunday, so ive been trying to do commissions but have not made enough for even one night! Im getting really scared, and so is she. Please help us!!

My paypal is https://paypal.me/SleepyPrince, anything helps, and ill do multiple commissions if I need to. If you cant, please at least share this around to your followers!

Heres more of my art as examples!!

Somniate build test: 11/16/2023

This is a very very early peek at the game I have been quietly working on in the background. It will essentially be a digital dream journal

Finally, a very very early peek at my dream journal- inspired game!

All art except the public domain christmas art is mine, do not repost.

Queermycelium Shop | Redbubble

Queermycelium is an independent artist creating amazing designs for great products such as t-shirts, stickers, posters, and phone cases.

Threw some of my art (a lot of it from my game I'm working on) on redbubble including Windows XP themed Pronouns windows! (If you have suggestions for pronoun windows lmk and I'll add it) Planning on making pagan stuff for it too, as well as a few other things ive had ideas about.

If you don't know me, I'm a queer autistic DID system with sciatica in both legs and a herniated disc. I am currently struggling to pay for mine and my girlfriend's food, as the corporate assholes making the rules at my job decided to slice 10+ hours from EVERY STORE NATIONWIDE every week since about mid June.

I'm working on a game thats essentially a digital dream journal, which I technically have a blog for at @somniate-game but I usually just post about in a few discord servers. Almost every design currently on the redbubble is from this game!

Supporting me and my art ensures that my gf and I can get food to eat and I can have the peace of mind to continue creating and making more art. Even if you cant buy anything, please share this around. Thank you!

I have a little bit of video, might edit it down for here!! It's just for a few assets ive assembled so far + the title screen. Still buggy and bare bones but im proud of it!

[somniate-game]

A couple bedrooms from the game assets so far, sorry for the watermarks but I'm paranoid ^^"

whats the part you are most excited about to make?

Mmmmmmokay fuck theres an old series of mines out in the mountains, you can get to them if you go up the hill from the dig sites north of town. Last time I visited there coincidentally, you were actually one of the people with me Skater /gen

Most of it is fully abandoned, overgrown, and the tunnels go on for endless miles. About 1/5th of the mine is being used and the modern area opens up to a huge five story room with walkways and an elevator shaft.

[skaterfc]

ooooo v cool it sounds super cool

Also!!! im in your dream world 🥺🥺 !!! wowowow so cool

[somniate-game]

tbh everyone Ive ever met shows up here eventually ^^ /gen

The dream specifically was that the pofg dev team decided to go explore the mines iirc, we ended up all finding a random old house that was built into the mines and then just as abandoned, and I think yall ended up camping there while I went on to check out the river.

[somniate-game]

I’m very interesting in this idea and I was wondering are you going to incorporate your systems dreams? I hope the question isn’t too personal

-L

No worries! So as far as we have been able to tell, our dreams happen in the inner world? Mostly? We often share dreams as a result, and honestly dont really care to pick out who actually had what dream. Some of us are better at remembering some areas so its possible there are areas off limits to most of us that they can remember being in in their dreams.

This is kind of a system-wide project honestly. Our work notebook is currently 90% notes and sketches rn made by various system members detailing areas they know about that havent been brought up, or trying to sketch where the previous nights dream took place.

I realize I haven't posted art other then the icon/banner but I just don't know what to share yet. Anyway wanna hear a dream?

This one's simple and being used in the tutorial section since it really wasnt more then this. I had it at 9 years old, it was an old fenced in yard with a flowerbed and old rotting wood fences. Supposedly this was a "school" I attended with people I knew from church.

After a pretty normal time in this yard, I walked past a trashcan in time to notice it move, and on closer inspection a hand reached from the can to grab me.

I ran away, trying to escape through the fence but finding no openings, and then I turned to look that way I saw a skull in the flowerbed, one is not noticed before. It's eyes glowed like there were embers inside. I don't know if it was from fear or magic or something else but I blacked out, and came to in a dark room lit by candles, frozen still in my seat, and staring straight ahead at a banner of skulls.

I'm sure you could find some way to psychoanalyze child me but honestly this dream stuck with me pretty hard. Like I was uncomfortable with red glowing eyes in skulls for years after

Thanks for following so far!! Working on an intro post!
