my friend Gab wrote this piece for Vittles about food & having POTS vittlesmagazine.com/p/people-of-the-salt and i think it's a great bit of writing, and also i am waiting for a phone call that might give *me* a diagnosis of POTS, and also...

she made a game (or a website, whichever you like) with Downpour, a little handy reference card (or choose your own adventure) for what to do to tackle all the various symptoms of POTS downpour.games/~gdlp/people-of-the-salt/
-
it's been so good to watch the game grow over time and gain nooks & crannies. funny that the thing i have struggled through illness to make has been something someone else used to make something to help them struggle through the same illness.

cute game a friend made in Downpour: downpour.games/~ManRei/escape-the-botanical-gardens

btw, if anyone wants to tell me why Twitter link previews don't work for Downpour, that'd be appreciated

I've updated my Patreon - if you want to support Downpour development, or get early access to it, you can sign up here: patreon.com/v21

For the past 18 months or so, I've been working on Downpour, an app that lets you make games by taking photos. I'm not finished yet, but I am close enough that I'm running a private beta. Want to try it? You can sign up to my Patreon here: patreon.com/v21

it's fun and quick! here's a game I made about a drink I bought from the convenience store, that took me less time to make than it did to drink the drink downpour.games/~v/mogu-mogu-gotta-chew
-
retweets etc welcomed! also if you wanna hear when it launches properly, you can sign up here: downpour.games

@IndieGameiacs @jwaaaap thank you!

@mthvrs @algcifaldi thank you! yeah, feels like it opens up an exciting collage/hypertext/experiential space... i'm looking forward to getting it launched so i can start adding new features again, hah!
