IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!
My first commercial game and my first game under the Ioncom brand. It's an action, roguelite, dungeon-crawler with limited lives and permadeath.
It's currently Linux exclusive, but the source code is available and you should be able to compile it for anything that SFML runs on.

I have a lot of ideas when it comes to worldbuilding. I have always been a fan of science fantasy (combining both tropes from sci-fi and fantasy), but I feel like most works haven't embraced both genres to their fullest potential. The original Phantasy Star series is probably the closest because they weren't afraid to actually call magic "magic" instead of "the force" like in Star Wars.
I plan on using these ideas for my dream game (or series), but I'm posting these worldbuilding concepts anyway just in case I never get to creating the game, and I just don't care if other people use these ideas. They most likely have already been done before (in fact I know some of these ideas have been done before). I'm using AI to generate these concepts because I suck at drawing.
Anyway let's begin. First off, I think alien worlds should combine both ancient technology, futuristic technology, and everything in between. Technological progress isn't a linear path, so you shouldn't assume that aliens go through the same technological progression as we do. They might be flying interstellar ships, but they might also still be wielding swords and bows. So you can have spaceships flying over medieval style villages or even mudhuts. Star Wars has basically already popularized this, so this should be a no-brainer, but you can always take it a step further. For example, replace lightsabers with steel swords while still having space travel.
Added a boss health bar.

Another datapoint that this is part of a greater uniparty theatre to push the financial reset through energy shortage and famine.
I think it was an intentional long-con. The hard-left/hard-right are like a quarter of the population or less. There are way more independent/libertarian/whatever in the middle. There are plenty of people who don't want Iraq Part II: The Iran Boogaloo. But fuck if they're going to stand next to pro-Biden people who want to allow hormones put in kids and mandatory experimental medication. On the other side, those people don't want "nazis" and "fascists" at their anti-war rallies either.
2016~2020 was one of the largest MKUltra-style experiments ever carried out against the world population. Even people who stand together against war can no longer stand together because of literally everything else.
The psyche of the world has been fragmented. It's a form of collective trauma that's separated the population in absolutist and totalist terms.
Think of the children nutters just won their first lawsuit against Facebook for not 'doing enough' to protect children (as if they had ANY obligation to do so in the first place!):
If you think Facebook is so dangerous because of a few bad apples then don't hand your kid an internet connected device and point them at Facebook. I've been on the internet since the internet came into existence and there have ALWAYS been bad apples on it. In fact BEFORE the internet there were also bad apples in the real world, on the school playground, and on BBSs.
The threat of the internet on children is so over exaggerated. While it's undoubtedly true you can setup fake 'child profiles' and get predators to send you inappropriate materials/messages and so on... it's hardly the typical experience. Minors are far more likely to get bullied by PEOPLE THEY ACTUALLY know from the offline when going online than be sexually harassed by the equivalent of creepy men driving 5 mph in white trucks without windows.
Statistically it's dad, mom, or someone in the family that's going to sexually abuse a child, not some creepy person on the internet.
And if the concern is algorithms... that's just pure fear mongering. There use to be this thing called parenting. If your kid was spending too much time watching TV you click the off button on the TV and told them to go play outside.
I hate to break it to you psychos who think it's always someone else's problem... but you can still tell a child no. You can still choose not to give your [at least actual children, teens will undoubtedly get around your stupid control freak parenting] 10 year old a cell phone.
To the 20 year old 'victim' take responsibility for your own choices, your 20 for christ sake.
CERN: First successful road transport of antimatter.
Fyi, I'm now accepting guest posts for the Libre Solutions Network moving forward.
Added an explosion animation for the boss when killed.
