Porpentine Heartscape
Writer, game designer
Who are you, and what do you do?
I'm Porpentine Charity Heartscape and I make art to commemorate the armistice with hell.
What hardware do you use?
E-Element Z-88 81-key mechanical keyboard because it was the cheapest tenkeyless. My typing got more precise after I switched to MECHA KEYBOARD and it has fun LED settings to keep me stimulated.
I'm most comfortable on my desktop but I have a ThinkPad 13 laptop now that I travel more. Desktops feel like a blanket.
I use a Snowball mic, a OnePlus 3T phone, and a Wacom Intuos Medium tablet. Amazon Mouse because it's soft and cheap.
Cheap colored lights off Amazon strung along my walls.
And what software?
Games/interactive stories: Twine 1.4.2 and [Game Maker][game-maker]. But I've made stuff in Unity, ShindanMaker, Google Forms, desktop folders... I'm most interested in something if it's not intended as creative software.
Linear writing: Notepad++ and Google Docs for drafting, Scrivener and OpenOffice for organizing / publishing.
Media editing: Paint.NET, Audacity, all the cutey open source things.
I love chatting and collaborating through Discord.
What would be your dream setup?
Whatever is nice. The good stuff. A big room, I guess? Running water and grass? A climate-controlled cube surrounded by 12 hours of rain and 12 hours of grass.
