Some of you might be wondering where I've been. The answer is, obviously, right here, watching you. As for why I'm quiet:
Controversial take: godspeed missed its mark by a mile and suffers because of it
we (read: I) made exactly the same mistake we did in Divinus and made an advanced game under the pretence of being something else
it might not even be possible to make an actually low-effort Divinus-esque game
Divinus as a rules system is basically built to support a collection of consecutive excerpts and short stories, not a conventional play-by-post roleplay
and that's what we do
trying to mash it into Free is a forced hybridisation that was never meant to be
It would be pretty unfair to you all to say I'm still strongly invested in Godspeed at this point. I launched into the project because I saw an opportunity to turn the lackluster Divinus system into something better and more entertaining. In the end, being stupid, I got exactly what I was trying to make: a newer, better Divinus.
And that's fine. It's been fun.
At the same time, it's not what I set out to actually play. It's a heavy system and I was looking for something light. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking, running a Divinus game and expecting something other than Divinus, but I did it, and now I'm playing Divinus 4.0, which I'm not even sure I have the energy for.
I'm still here. I'm behind on posts, but I'll stick around until I'm either needed or have energy, and I can still do collabs.
No big announcement or anything. This is just where I'm at right now, in case anyone was wondering. Feel free to keep playing, you don't really need me for much.
1x Thank
