I'm not a Camus fan, but this quote of his is worth thinking about in relation to game design.

Personally, I disagree that we should be content with an endless grind. I don't like games that offer just that. I want "katharsis", an ending, a sense of completion!

Absurdist Games Celebration is coming to Steam and YouTube December 10 - 17!
Our first category: Sisyphean Struggle

“The struggle itself is enough to fill a human heart”, says Camus. What is the main struggle in your game?

Hubert has already come to terms with the idea of his untimely death, but you can still try to save him 🐢

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

You can finally save Hubert IRL 🐢

Great Lucky Tower fan art by yudtheartist!

@thatonemikeguy1 Haha, correct! That one went places.

My character design of Sobu, the cunning sage.

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

My first sketch of Sobu, done digitally. As you can see, not much changed afterwards. I usually like my first ideas best...

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

Unlike the god, Sobu is a drunk geezer who makes up prophecies that only come to fruition through sheer randomness. Still, he can be right once or twice a day.

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

The character was inspired by the Japanese kappa creatures, albeit without the evil shenanigans.

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

My favorite character design in Lucky Tower is Hubert, the friendly tortoise.

He is a sweet guy, but if you treat him badly he turns sad, angry and finally postal.

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

My first notebook sketch of Hubert.

⚔️ After over 5 years of work, Lucky Tower Ultimate 1.0 is OUT NOW on Steam/Epic/Switch ⚔️

[Anselm Pyta 🖤 Studio Seufz @AnselmPyta]

After over five years of work, our new game is finished and set to release on Thursday. Fortunately, after two projects like this, I still haven’t gone crazy.

So over the next few weeks, I’ll be talking about my favorite graphic and game design from Lucky Tower Ultimate!

[Lucky Tower Ultimate @LuckyTowerGame]

Lucky Tower Ultimate will leave Early Access on April 16th!⚔️

@DAVID_FIRTH Given that a cracked Flash CS6 still runs on modern machines, I presume Animate will last longer than Adobe might think.

I'm proud to say that we now have a bundle with Samorost 3, one of my favorite games from @amanitadesign 🌚

In case you already have The Longing, you can get Samorost 3 at a reduced price with this bundle:

@userIands It's very aptly named. Fittingly, I'm also stuck there. I thought it'd be nice if you could let players choose upon death whether they want to start from the very beginning of the level or spend some of the "currency" to respawn at certain checkpoints.

Congrats on the game!
