Some Tips on Making Original Characters
Oh no Draggin's gonna preach, voice opinions and give advice WATCH OUT!! (Disclaimer: Most of this stuff are things I've experienced and observed over the years and I'm just sharing my thoughts and opinions. I'm in no way a professional at character/story creation)
Also keep in mind that this is mostly advice for visual artists and not really writers. I'm not a writer so these things I'm gonna say may not apply :'D
Whenever I tell people that my original stuff is what gets the most feedback on here they always seems shocked because well, lets face it, original ideas dont get as much love on the internet than say fanart or whatever's trendin
So Good They Can't Ignore You by KupoGames, journal
So Good They Can't Ignore You
Just finished reading So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport, and his career advice mostly lines up with my personal experience.
The book's advice for finding work that you love is to build up skills through years of *deliberate practice*, until your skills are rare and valuable enough to afford you control over your work. Being good at something and having connections will give you more opportunities and make your work feel more meaningful.
It tries to debunk the idea that boldly following your passions will lead to satisfying work. That approach won't work if your skills aren't valuable enough to support you, or earn you enough auto
I picked up a lot of indie games on Steam lately, and here’s my opinions on some of them… Jamestown
Jamestown is a bullet hell shooter, so that pretty much guaranteed that I would like it. It’s got a very unique setting; it’s set in the 16th century, on Mars! The main character is fleeing from the King of England, and is fighting against the Spanish fleet and a bunch of aliens, with steampunk jetpacks things. That’s kind of cool.

Depression- share your thoughts!
Hey folks!
I'm working on enterprising teamwork project that is about "Inspirational Quality of Living" and that involves coaching work about the mindset of soul and improving the quality of live. More precisely about what's that and why, I'll write for another time. For now I just really want to ask for a few inputs from people's experience. But honestly, what I'm doing, isn't just not for the project alone but for myself mostly. And also as a part of wanting to help other people if I'm able. Or just simply I want to understand a bit better,
Here a few questions where I'd really appreciate if everybody could honestly answer if they want.

Official Crystal Chronicles Manga
wow I never thought that picture of Manga De Nam would get so many questions about the manga.
In answer to all of them, YES! YES, THERE IS A MANGA!!
I just got all my copies in the mail yesterday!!
the story of the manga doesn't follow the game's plot. (Oh come on you know I sat down and read them the instant I had them in my hands - I've actually read through them like three times already, though with limited Japanese skills. I was still able to grasp the plot though and BOY IS IT GOOD.) Instead it veers off a bit and while the main characters' goal is still to collect Myrrh, there's a new villain (and some new allies too!), and different

The Anatomy of a Group

Well...everything has kinda just...exploded under me.
First of all...you guys don't know this so to put it in perspective:
1: My father comes from a proud military background and everything I am to some degree disappoints or even enrages him. I share no common interests with him. At all. He's also one of those dad's who complains that I shut myself away and don't talk to them anymore...but when I go to spend time with them I end up being shooed out for one reason or another. My father has single-handedly controlled my life with military discipline. Anytime anyone says "But Sara you are 2(0,1,2) now. Your father can't tell you what to do any
