Right now, I’m working on the planning stages for a video game. I don’t know if it’ll actually go anywhere, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I haven’t told anyone except you guys, not even my wife.

    I’m probably a bit late replying, but I got banned from my previous instance for some reason, no way to contact anyone or ask what I (supposedly) did wrong. Hopefully you see my reply.

    I can’t even imagine “writing” a video game. It seems like one of those things people might think “anyone could do that”, then when they try to, they can’t.

    At the moment I’m writing songs (music and lyrics), and working on a conlang. I hope to combine the two in the future.

      Search for old username in old instance modlog, there’s probably a reason given, although it’s not always that meaningful.

        I tried looking for a modlog, but I couldn’t find it. Is there any way I can delete my old account if it’s banned?

          Shoot me your old username and I’ll check it out.
          Technically, deletion would need to be done by your old instance admins, although with federation, that content is also everywhere in the fediverse and might not be completed deleted.

            Thanks. The old username was Spitz.

            Also, the only way I can reply to people is through the website version - none of the apps are letting me reply. They show errors every time. I’m on Android. Would you have any idea why? It’s like Lemmy is fighting to reject me haha. 😔

              On which instance? Turns out there’s a few Spitz out there

                  Hmmmm, you don’t seem actually banned, but .ml probably didn’t skip 0.19.2 which had a bug that required to clear cookies and whatnot before logging in would work postupgrade.
                  Which is one of the main reasons why we hadn’t upgraded yet, fixed in 0.19.3, but I’m not sure of the behavior of you don’t skip 0.19.2.

                  Anyway, try logging into your account in a browser, in a private navigation window to be sure, I would expect it to work.

    A video game sounds cool! Are you a developer? Or are you using a drag and drop engine?

    Most of my writing is for my blog, but I’d really like to get back into working on a novel of mine. It’s just such a beast of a project, and blog posts are just so easy because of their bitesize nature. But I really miss the feeling of working on something huge…

      Will the plan is to use an existing engine to build in, depending on my requirements and the capabilities of the engine I might need to tinker around under the hood.
