#sunless skies
Note
Now I honestly expect you not to have an answer one way or the other, but I've been hyperfixating on Sunless Skies again, and with that comes my foolish endeavour to try and somehow figure out how the Locomotives might work, and look. And the main question I come up against is, how "locomotive-esque" are the locomotives actually.
Or well pretty much, is the large cylindrical structure an actual full size boiler with crew space delegated to the "cab"in the back, or is it more like a submarine zubmarine, and the cylinder is a hollow space with room for habitation inside? Because both options seem, possible (even tho the first is more interesting in my eyes).
But yeah I don't know if there is an answer, but if anyone does know, it's probably you guys. And if not, I'll gladly just keep throwing vaguely accurate engineering at it until it starts to sound believable myself.
Yeah, the locos are more like a zubmarine, with a boiler but also crew quarters!

God is dead, and we didn’t kill him. We beat down the doors of heaven and just found him like this. Not above taking credit for it and using it as the basis for a legitimizing mythology for our incipient space-faring empire though

I feel like we need a better name for the “Victorian London has been relocated to a slightly more miserable place than normal and now you gotta resource manage” genre of game.
#fallen london#sunless sea#sunless skies#frostpunk#i can't believe it took me this long to realize fl and frostpunk are basically the same formula with WILDLY different tones#one is 'london is underground and now there are cosmic horrors#also you can bang a squid'#and the other is 'the world is an icy hellhole survival is all that matters and humanity sucks'#it's like the 'someone will die of fun' meme#but in game format

The Fallen London/Sunless series would actually be the perfect place for like, anime cat girls to exist, because no one would care. They'd be as miserable and gritty like everyone else.
Like: "Me mate Kevin went to go ponder the Orb That Turns You Into Jellied Eels.... nya" but in the meanest Irish accent you've ever heard

Sunless Skies is this delightful text adventure/roguelike that's as elegant as it is surprisingly unpretentious, like if you took Lovecraft and Burroughs and removed the collective ugly sticks from their rectums and replaced them with pretty prisms of the entire gender spectrum. It's a little eldritch but not in an edgelord sort of way, and it should really be called Space Choo-choo because that's what I tell everyone I'm playing

any games you'd recommend? could be for any reason! (similarity to fallen london, you know the people who made it, you just think it's neat, etc.) besides your own, of course, I already own all of those :)
Yes, here's a list of all of the games we talked about in our newsletter last year:
Birth: an adventure puzzle game about constructing a creature from spare bones & organs.
Scarlet Hollow: an immersive, episodic horror-mystery.
Egypt: Old Kingdom: a strategy simulator of the Great Pyramids period.
The Past Within is a fun, eerie way to spend an hour with a friend.
The Pale Beyond: high stakes on the frozen wastes, Sunless Sea feelings.
King of the Castle: medieval monarch party game.
Stray Gods: an urban fantasy, musical visual novel featuring the gods of Greek myth.
Vampire Survivors: so moreish.
Knotwords: extremely satisfying crossword-anagram-puzzle game.
The Banished Vault: so gorgeous it actually makes us a bit cross.
Astronaut the Best: an anarchic comedy about assembling a team of hapless astronauts.
El Paso, Elsewhere: supernatural neo-noir shooter, in which you must destroy the villain you loved - even if it means dying yourself.
Thank Goodness You're Here: may be the only game that’s more British than the ones we make.
The Fabulous Fear Machine: pulpy horror narrative strategy.
WORLD OF HORROR: Junji Ito-adjacent roguelike.
Lies of P: tickles your Fromsoft fancy.
The Lamplighters League: essentially 1930s supernatural XCOM
Tails Noir (formerly known as Backbone): gorgeous, bleak, compelling and unsatisfying in equal measure.
Mediterrea Inferno: a spicy story about finding yourself after isolation.
DotAGE: manage a village where the Village Elder has helpfully precise visions of the future.
Slay the Princess: the princess is very bad and you have to kill her.
VR remake of The 7th Guest: very fun, silly and far less punishing than the original.
Astrea: Six-sided Oracles: interesting dice-and-deckbuilding system.
Return of the Obra Dinn: truly a modern classic.

Just noticed I never posted my entry for the Neath to Reach zine (which is excellent and gorgeous, go check it out)
I just feel like sitting on a piece of drifting rock in the ruins of a long forgotten palace and watching a horrible all-devouring hole in the sky would be neat
