*Follows along* That is a better description than most I gleaned. No need to apologize. Get me into an info dump and it'll be about 40 pages. XD
I am definitely a builder. I do not move fast, I do not see well, I get easily lost and overwhelmed. I am just a slow plodder for the most part. Give me creative mode, worldedit, and time and I will remake the universe.
Though turn-based RPGs, I am amongst the fastest. I don't play anything with timed battles, just pure turn-based. Once I process the game, I can divert to muscle memory mode and fly through encounters. One time when I was a young teen, we ran a test between me and a couple friends. We had Aki on FF7 (ATB), me on FF1 (turn based), and Paul on I think it was Tsuki no Baju (action). We played for one hour while the others kept score of how many battles and levels we went up. I plowed through about 150 battles and three levels, Aki got through 35 or 36 battles and one level, and Paul got through 40 or 41 battles and no leveling up. My favorite battle system was FFX's, because it was turn-based with initiative/speed shifts so it was like the best of all systems.
I'm glad I was easy to follow! ^-^ I love love building games, which is why I loved fortnite when it was in alpha, and again shortly after launch(before they added pvp and got popular) It started out as a tower defense game essentially, third person waves of enemies and barriers to slow and divert them. Loved it, played the crud out of it, and came up with my favorite defensive strats. Then they added the new mode, and I lost interest. They redirected to focusing mainly on it shortly after that. Good choice for them cause that's where all their money comes from, bad for me cause I hate it .-.
I follow a youtuber that talks about accessibility in games wether it be pacing visuals or sound. This is definitely an interesting topic to me, and for the game I want to build I've been compiling a list of features and modes. Perhaps a turn based mode would be possible for it. *goes into deep thought* A turn based mode in mine may look a bit more like xcom honestly.
I haven't played turn based in a while, but I've heard Octopath Traveler was really good. Chrono Trigger was my favorite turn based game, donno if I've mentioned that yet.

It got worse today.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that. .-. The next time a bird poops nearby may it land upon their head. ^-^

Super-spiff. xd
Fantastic! heart Also, loving the summoned demon look ^-^ I might try another human form next, the last one I did gave me extra BNA vibes so I'm on a bit of a kick now I think ^-^

I played anno online and robot eternity until they put in PVP and nerfed the hell out of the carrying capacity. Both are now gone though, since where the money is in in a playable game. They might not make good games, but they should be playable games.

I have considered Octopath Traveler. Maybe if I get that PC, I will try it. Chrono Trigger uses the ATB system, so I have never completed it, makes it just too sluggish and difficult. ATB for me is "Hurry up and wait to fail at entering commands." I only finished FF5 and FF6 by the judicious use of cheats — cheats that I literally had to patch the code of the game for with a third-party modifier app.
I got in an argument on youtube once over the auto-jump in minecraft. Everybody was in unity on hating it and I was arguing that for people like me, it makes traversing the terrain a lot easier because of dexterity problems — I can only hit the space bar reliably with my right hand which is operating the mouse. In turn, I got a lot of backlash that basically I am a cripple and should just not play it then. There definitely seems to be a trend of spiteful ableism in video games and 3d software interfacing, that if you want accessibility, you can just @#$% right off.

Thanks. The problem is that I keep trying to make a knight/fighter and end up elsewhere. I need to get that off the checklist. xd

That's heavily frustrating, but lol "the money is in a playable game" That's a solid quote! ^-^

I did not know that about Chrono Trigger ^-^ Auto jump in minecraft sounds brilliant, I doubt it would be that hard for them to program in either. The youtuber is Laura K Buzz She covers accessibility in gaming or at least that's her most recent type of videos. One of them covers the last of us 2 it's got a crazy amount of accessibility features apparently. Though, I'm sure it's probably not your style game, it's a really cool step forward in that sense. ^-^

I just kind of flail wildly in my wardrobe until some items stick, or at least that's how it feels. Either way, all your elsewhere directions so far are fantastic! ^-^
So, I've been on my laptop today which is why I'm trying a hybrid of your response style. Let me know if it's a pain. Also, my screen is doing some weird color shift nonsense, had to fix that real quick. @_@ Updating my softwares and gonna try to find my missing cables for my draw tab tomorrow. Thank you again for the encouragement ^-^

Autojump exists in the game as of I think v.1.11. It's just turned off by default and the people were clamoring to remove it entirely. Because to them, having an accessibility feature that is off by default and they never have to acknowledge is just too much and pisses them off.

If it is a pain for you, that is what matters. If you do not like the labor, you do not strain yourself for it.
Not your best work, buuut makes me think of some type of like stone guardian knight that animates to defeat intruders, so I like it.
Here's my current mess, think I'll stick to jackalope stuff xD
You have a knack for jackaloprosity.
Oooo, love the mage summonery look! >.<
I was trying an old color composition technique where you take saturation straight across a direction and then a crossed arc of color across that perpendicularly. So I have white to black, purple to blue, gold to brown and gold to brown. It came out okay, the pants would have been better a slightly greyish pale khaki though.

Hey off brand CB! ^-^ Sorry, I've been buried deeep in a game called Spiritfarer, which I don't remember if I mentioned playing. It's adorable and just a bit dark, but still cute! ^-^ Also playing around with the idea of modeling my gaia avi for practice. ^-^
Hope folks are doing well! ^-^ yum_coffeeyum_donutyum_coffee

It looks like an interesting game.
I got word that two more of my applications are dropping mac support, so I have decided that i guess i have to go to PC. sad So maybe i will try it since games will be more accessible. neutral
I need to change my avatar.

It's fantastic, I have encountered a few visual bugs though. It might be the way I've placed my buildings, but the left side of the screen has started doing this strobing effect when I go to use the cabin... It gives me a headache, I can only imagine what it would do to anyone who has as strobe triggered seizures.
If I don't win this last giveaway I'm gonna have to just go for it and get a pc built. .-. So many things are dropping mac support or are dropping support for older software. My cs5 is barely usable on my current macbook due to terrible backwards compatibility. @_@
I'm still fluxing through avi options, but as always will eagerly await your next avi design ^-^

*Takes the game back off the list.* Not going to find out on that one. gonk

Yeah, we need Steve Wozniak back to just have him bring the spirit of Mac back. I am pretty much devastated. I don't like feeling like my choices are made for me. It's one thing to not have an option, it's another to have the option taken away by arbitrary, corporate ******** class="quote">

I ended up aborting a development when I figured out a way to make floating glasses with a pseudoglitch.

Yeah, it's something that requires warning and hopefully gets patched. @_@
Down with corpo shinanigans!
I've feel that I find one item I like mid build and it shifts the whole look xD
