Planet Zoo: Casualia Parks - Chapter 1

Image
  Grrrreetings, dear readers! Welcome to our new project! Casualia Parks! That's right! We were looking for some inspiration to write about, and Steam threw us an animal-themed sale, which obviously included all the DLC for Planet Zoo! We didn't have all of them yet, and we still don't, but we bought a few more. And indeed, got the idea to start a fresh new game in franchise mode, taking you, our dear readers, along for the ride! Just for some quick info: Planet Zoo is, unsurprisingly, a Zoo-builder game. Very much a modern take on classics like Zoo Tycoon or Wildlife Park. In fact, it's made by Frontier, the devs behind Planet Coaster, which did the same thing for fans of Rollercoaster Tycoon! So, we'll be starting a new game in franchise mode. Here are our settings for this little adventure: Our (first?) Zoo is going to be right were we live, in central Europe. The game difficulty is gonna be set to "hard", because Planet Zoo is, by in large, a really fo...

Status Report #18: 30th of November, 2025

  Hmm. Things went quite wrong, here. Morning guys and guyettes, it's Amalia here, bringing you another Status report! So, let's hop into it and talk about our... Active Projects! Well, the big, obvious one is that we've released our new single, Filettatura di Scarto! It went alright, all things considered. It's gotta be said, these last couple of releases, we didn't do any direct, paid marketing, and as a result we're pulling in very tiny numbers of listeners, but frankly, our thoughts regarding this can be summed up as "Eh, we're having fun." And hey, the tune is actually featured in some playlists by Radio Armazém , and Visual Atelier 8  wrote a piece on it! So that's actually quite cool and encouraging.😀 We already have an idea and inspiration for our next tune, too. Probably gonna take a week or two until we start getting to work on that in earnest, but it's good to have a plan. Also, on this very blog, you shall, within a few days, ...

Facets of Tulpamancy - Michael's perspective

Image
Just gonna sprinkle some of Amalia's pictures throughout. She likes making these.   Greetelings, Misters and Mistresses! Michael here. So, it's occurred to Amalia and me that despite having "Tulpa" in the name of the blog, and despite being largely open about being plural, we haven't actually wrote any dedicated blog posts about the topic. So we figured we might want to catch up on that a bit. We decided that each of us would write a post where we'd go through some of the various aspects of plural life. That way, you get a look at a range of topics, some of them from her perspective, some from mine. Before we get started with that, though, i suppose we might want to give a quick crash-course to those of you who might be reading this with no knowledge of what a Tulpa actually is (Or worse, the internet taught you that it's some kind of occult or supernatural creepypasta nonsense!). So, let's give you a little.... Part 1: -Crash course on tulpas and plur...

Production log #3: Filettatura di Scarto!

Image
  It's time, folks! Time for another song release! And this time, it's kind of a funny one, with Italian lyrics and zero synthesizers!  "But Captain!" we hear you asking. "Why is thing do that?" Well, you see, thing is do that because Filettatura di Scarto came about through a bit of unique inspiration. It all started one day at work. We're employed as an industrial fitter, working at a plant producing LPG fittings, burners, regulators and the like. So, one day, we got a shipment of ball valves from an italian parts  supplier, with threads in 'em. As in, the ones you screw stuff into. Which we attempted to do, but much to our chagrin, the threads were pretty badly cut, meaning we could barely fit anything into there. That then lead to us having to do a bunch of extra work, recutting those threads, making a mess of filings and generally taking a bunch of extra time for an otherwise simple work order. So, in jest, we said that we should call our next s...
