Djinn tells the story of a young woman looking into her long lost grandmother’s past as a concubine in a harem in the 19th century. The series is beautifully illustrated by Ana Miralles and written by Jean Defaux. This video shows her working her magic, creating the beautiful watercolor art for the comic in her studio. Enjoy ;)

    Sorry, Wolfie, for this absurdly-late reply. The last few weeks for me have been… hooh boy.

    I try to avoid commercial games, or at least big studio produced ones, as much as I can. I play mostly indie games from itch.io or from GOG (not a fan of the Steam monopoly).

    Haha, I love those sites, along with the fun little projects at Lexaloffle’s Pico08 project, which deliberately imposes a bunch of restrictions on modern carts in order to get with the spirit of early 8-bit consoles. Such a glorious project IMO:

    Anyways, I agree with pretty-much all you just said in that last reply. And I like these discussions (and not just because you and I seemingly happen to agree 'pon a range of stuff), but I think it’s nice to branch out a bit in talk & interests from simply ‘BD.’ For example, maybe a lounge-area, and even a list of fun webgames is also on my radar O’Reilly.

      No worries! I’m right there with you. I’ve been juggling a lot lately.

      Pico-8 is fantastic! One of my favorite projects on itch. I just beat the Pico-8 version of Celeste, and Celeste 2 as well. There’s so many great hidden gems on Pico. My favs are Celeste (of course) Pinballvania, Stabbycrabby, Driplogic and Puzzles of the Paladin. I’m always finding interesting stuff through the random section with splore. I’m thinking about learning lua and fiddling around with making a game on Pico someday.

      Definitely! It’s always nice to meet like-minded folks, especially across a range of interests. I’m also into tabletop roleplaying (actually created a new community for one shot rpgs here: https://lemmy.ml/c/Every_Post_Is_An_RPG) and love reading (literary stuff, but also genre stuff at times, reading a Discoworld novel by Pratchett currently called The Truth).

      Maybe you can sticky a general discussion thread, even if it’s seldom used, at least it can facilitate some discussion, especially if there is bandes dessinees chat that isn’t thread worthy.
