it's out! https://zine.kawaiiuguu.moe/issue14.html
or https://zine.kawaiiuguu.moe/ for back issues
In this issue I have messed around a bit with Decker in order to make it look all MS-DOS-esque, as befits my upbringing! Otherwise, we have all the usual zine of millie goodness here, including overly personal weird rambly bits! Shoutout to @ahmwwmaaa for the font!
Please let me know what you think!
I really like the use of sound effects and understated transition animations, as well as the use of emoticons in the directory listing. :)
It also sounds like I've missed out on some Discourse regarding Decker. Decks can be hard to explain to people or categorize, perhaps because the notion of "multimedia" or "interactive media" has been mostly abandoned since its heyday in the 90s in favor of media platforms that share static text, images, sound, or video. I think that's too bad. As your zines themselves illustrate, there's a wonderful range of creative space for interactive things that aren't (necessarily) video games or even visual novels.
I mean I don't think there's been Discourse that I've seen, but it's entirely possible I typed something silly and don't remember it, haha, since I write these zines in a haze of Emotion and it's like 6am in the morning and I just woke up. But I definitely agree with everything you said here.
Ahh, if you mean in the ART_HUH.TXT part, the discourse in this case is mostly taking place offline and IRL where I try to explain my hobbies to people, haha.
The typing to open each file is so good!! It's so tactile! The zine tune sounds great.
I need to finish putting together my art thoughts about your art thoughts but, oh, it's definitely art.
(and I just did most of the font 🫣 thank you for helping me finish it so it was usable. I'm so happy to see it used so well omg)
you did the VAST MAJORITY of the font, I just tweaked a few pixels and helped out a bit
this is super cool and cute! what an excellent presentation method for a zine!
Thank you! The previous 13 issues are less DOS-themed but I'd love if you took a look at them too!
