how do you guys get back into the groove of creating again after a long break? I have been experiencing pretty bad art block recently and I haven't been drawing really at all. it feels almost awkward to draw and I kinda hate that. im trying to get my skills back, as well as develop my artstyle, as I kinda forgot what mine was before.
any tips pls?
guys what do I do? they've been making me sign in quite often with my account and password as ive been playing offline. it was always fine, but this time they want to send a verification email, even though I have the correct password and gmail, problem is I dont have access to this email as I deleted it like a year ago. (I forgot it was connected to this account) idk what to do, can someone pls help me, ive been playing this game for like 3 years I dont wanna lose all my progress and families please PLEASE help!
pls guys, help a girl out, I wanna know what you think ab this.
a little background:
im a college student and throughout my life i've struggled with screen addiction, and ive probably spent a combined time of like 5+ years on my devices. I have ofc wanted to stop this addiction, but ive found its become something of a coping mechanism for me, and I do it without thinking. I noticed ive started feeling stupider lately, for lack of a better word, and my brain just feels less clear nd stuff. ive watched countless videos on dopamine detoxing and quitting social media, and ive tried doing it and failed multiple times. its something I still struggle with, and I figured im not alone, so I wanted to make a project that will help gain back the braincells ive lost. I also wanted to build a website thats truly for teens. I want it to feel like a community of people who want to improve, and do better. (THIS ISNT AN AD, it doesnt exist yet)
I have had an idea for a little while but I wanted to hear from other youth/teens about what you think.
Actual idea:
I want to develop a website that has games that combat brainrot by building the skills that we lose from excessive screen use. ik there are a couple apps that do a similar thing already, but I disliked the vibe and format of the site. and also the games were kinda boring. it seemed like very corporate and sterile, lowkey ai vibes.
I wanted to create something that has youth in mind and has more charm. I want the site to be an experience. like you have entered another world or storybook. the characters won't just be a mascot, but characters with depth. the games will further the lore of the characters, just so its not just aimless. and I want it to have a community aspect, so if you're stuck with something, the ghosts of explorers of the site before you can guide your path. I also want it to have a cute, more hand drawn, personal vibe. (also I was thinking all the characters should be obscure animals, instead of humans, what do u think?)
initially it would have 3 games: each focusing on a skill.
the first one one is like daily or weekly challenge. (strengthens attention, deep thinking/reasoning)
you would read a letter from a character and notice whats wrong with it, if there were mistakes, or what those mistakes infer, basically collect clues and decipher what happened to the character, where they went. the readings would all fit together into a greater story or lore. kind of like an on-site scavenger hunt, a little mystery. (maybe you can leave comments or notes, on the margins, of clues for the next person)
the second is a logic game (strengthens logic skills, obvi),
I don't have as a concrete plan for this one but the concept is a game that is strategic, with an over arching goal and ending. I want it to be a flat board game esque game, so it's not 3d or anything. and its a logic game so its not that it has level that gets more difficult, but as you play it you will discover more rules/ways to play etc. (think smth like chess)
the last game is an observation game. (to strengthen focus/concentration.)
basically you will be in a scene, and there will be a bunch of things, audio and visual, and you have to list or select the amount of things that you notice, or hear/see. it sounds basic but this is the one im most excited to make, and ofc it will also have lore embedded into it, so maybe you're in someones bedroom, what do you notice, what do you hear outside their window? etc, etc. you can discover more facts about the characters this way,
thanks for reading to the end, please let me know how you feel about it HONESTLY.
this idea has been on my heart for a while so im really excited to share it with you all. I really want to improve it and bring it to life so PLEASE dont feel shy to share your feedback good or bad, if its boring please say so and tell me which parts you don't like, so I can improve. you can share what you think or add to the idea, im looking forward to it, this account is to document my journey with this project. thanks again for reading!!

looking for a sub to post this in, please and thank youu, (it keeps getting taken down):
I wanna make a platform that has games that build the skills that we lose by scrolling on TikTok/reels, and I would love know what you think ab this, and also generate a discussion around the prevelence of social media in society, and the loss of those old internet spaces/sites.
