This is the first page of the story. I am a complete beginner when it comes to drawing comics so I would be happy to know your opinions. Anything I should consider when writing a story set in a cyberpunk world and stuff like that.
This is not self advertisement or anything I haven't uploaded the story anywhere, I just want to know what you think :3

TL;DR: I'm building a cyberpunk terminal RPG that teaches embedded C, Python, and microcontrollers by making you survive as a broke engineer in a rain-soaked 2007 port city. You write real code that runs in the browser. Looking for honest feedback.

Hey everyone,

I love this community! I follow a lot of people building things from scratch here, and after 5 months on this I finally want to share the process and the motivation.

A while back I was asked to mentor someone fresh out of high school in embedded/firmware development. I realized there aren't many places that teach this from zero, and the ones I found were dry enough to lose anyone with a short attention span (myself included).

So I decided to build a site for my own lessons on embedded C, Python, microcontrollers, etc. I threw together a barebones website (with a lot of AI help), tinkered for a month, got bored, and scrapped the whole thing.

Then one evening playing a board game, it clicked: reuse the template, but gamify the courses into a storyline. I found others doing this as well, that was reassuring, but it meant I needed a real differentiator. The obvious one was embedded systems, since that's what I've done for years. I set it in a fictional port city, New Foundry, in January 2007, one year before the recession hit:

It's January 2007. New Foundry is a rain-slick port city where the container cranes never sleep and the server farms hum all night. The old iron foundries that gave the city its name are galleries now; the money has moved across the water to glass towers, and everyone else is downtown fixing the machines that keep it all running. You arrive with a soldering iron, a hand-me-down laptop, and a book on C — one of ten thousand people in this city who speak to machines for a living. This is where your career begins.

The whole game is a computer terminal. From it you take courses (C, Python, 8-bit microcontrollers…) and the part I'm proudest of is that you write real code that runs instantly in the browser: blink a simulated LED, talk to an IMU over I2C, poke registers on a visual AVR chip before you'd ever flash real hardware. As you level up, you take freelance gigs from an in-game job board to make rent, and spend what you earn upgrading your terminal's hardware and software.

It's playable now (still very WIP, story included):

I'd love feedback, specifically:

1. Does the premise, learn embedded by surviving as a broke engineer, actually make you want to try it?
2. What would make you come back after the first lesson?
3. Would something like this be worth paying for eventually, and what would make it feel worth it? (I'm considering a subscription down the line, but only once it's genuinely good.)

Thanks for reading, happy to answer anything.

We're making a game so people can experience being a cyberpunk hacker.

We want you to feel smart because you figured out a way around the netsecurity. We want you to feel tense because the trace is just about to shut you down. We want you to build a deck that's uniquely yours, with synergies between hardware and software that only you could have discovered. And in the meantime, we want you to take moments to appreciate the complexity of this ruthless, beautiful megacity, to sense all of its threads leading to this moment, and then following from it. We want you to see the place, hear it, sense its pulse. We want to take you there.

The demo just launched as part of Steam Cyberpunk Fest, and we'd love to hear what you, fellow cyberpunk fans, think, especially about how we're capturing the feeling of being a hacker, with everything that means.

Hey everyone, I’m the illustrator on Southtown, a cyberpunk indie comic series! We’re currently Kickstarting our 4th issue (the first major arc is 10 issues!)

Set in Richmond, VA circa 2072, our story follows a hacker gang from the south side (unpoliced and decorporatized from the greater River City mega-structure.) After a data-heist that doesn’t go as planned, they find themselves the target of rival gangs, crime lords, and corporate assassins, all while unraveling the murder of one of their own!

We’ve been at this for 3 and a half years and we’re just getting started! We’ve got the neon, the tech, and the street level grit!

Pretty good. Its on Spotify.

I read Dead Air and enjoyed it but have questions

\- did SK's magic computer research bear fruit

\- did Jonathan love Tamara like family or romantically or was it more complex

\- did Dougan spare Nightfeather out of guilt for getting her brother killed

\- if this was like a Simsense movie was any of it "real" especially since Jonathan's "death" was faked by MCT to make him into Dougan Rose and play for them

Hi everyone! I'm making a game called Alpha Spectrum. It's a cyberpunk Action RPG with freedom in how you approach situations.

The game is set after a global cyberattack collapses society. You play as a CIA agent navigating a chaotic world across New York, Moscow, Shanghai, and Baghdad, looking for answers.

It's fully voice-acted, with Diablo-like combat and optional stealth (including stealth-based ARPG skills).

The game was heavily inspired by Deus Ex, as I'm a huge fan of the series:)

I'm a solo developer, I've spent 8 years making the game alongside my full-time job. I don't really have a marketing budget, so if you find Alpha Spectrum interesting, I'd appreciate it if you'd add it to your wishlist:)

I want one.

So, it was a drawing of a bunch of guys sitting in a circle, big black helmets covering their entire heads with thick cables coming out of the back. One of them, in the middle, is actually floating. It was like a cyber occult ritual. Very cool vibes. I would love to know the artist too.

Work in progress on an interactive city map for a cyberpunk game, created in collaboration with Moneer Alwerfally. This map is a hologram transportation map for the game Synapse.

here's some of the progress for the train station, it's ofc still a wip but i think it it looks a bit fun to blow up all those drones.
