Reflecting on my earlier thesis notes I'm realizing I have a lot to say now about imposter syndrome.

"This world has given you every last thing that you have, including the very breath in your lungs.

Would you abandon it?"

From the Hawthorn wiki: "The Psychopomps are the major guides who rule over their individual realms within the Beyond. They are referred to in-game as “Archons”. The Archons of the Beyond are Nebel, Lughan, Maere, Fount, Loku, Draum, and Mab, the High Archon of the Hiddenfolk."

CW: experiment project design

From the chapter "A Journey to Halflight" from my thesis project experimental game.

BTW, the helmed customer's name is Lord Edgg. I'm very pleased with myself.

re: thesis project

Marshmallow McLuhan x Lugh x Mega Man x Kafka's Metamorphosis = this weirdo. I had intended to make him much more humanoid but you know in the commercial version I just may keep the man/cybernetic system/beetle mashup because it suits the character and chapter theme so well.

WIP: My worthless masterpiece, etc.

Finally, my years accruing useless knowledge about archaeology and folklore are paying off, though. Mostly hammering out the logic is the thing for me, I have to resist the urge to flesh out the game at this stage since it's not important to the study. It will pay off when I analyze the data.

I'm going to attempt to do something kind of different with my thesis; people will be able to go through it as an interactive experiment. If you'd like to muck around in the unknown for research, I'll be putting out a call for study participants this fall if all goes to plan. In the meantime, I'd like to put this out into the world: Hawthorn, my thesis' big idea translated into a game.
