Super happy to announce that @iamleyeti.bsky.social will be teaching his "Prototyping Video Game Narratives with Short Stories" course at @d6learning.bsky.social. Learn how to write short stories as narrative prototypes for videogames, starting this November. ▶️ www.d6learning.com/course/proto...
Certainly not for now then :D
Stunt Car Racer at 50fps on a C64 certainly sounds (and looks) very impressive. 🏎️ The game: csdb.dk/release/?id=... 📺 The video: youtu.be/xaCca4zCimc?...
Seems I should try and make time to play it then... Battle Brothers, I mean.
Felt the exact same thing.
<3
Oh, yes!
I imagine they really mean it's got a highly reactive and detailed world :)
Glad to hear. Also, well, wow!
Glad I did :)
XCOM-Warhammer hybrids that apparently make turn-based strategy feel like an immersive sim certainly sound intriguing. www.gamesradar.com/games/strate...
Always a pleasure dearest!
Another fine bundle of RPG books, and thus another opportunity for me to daydream about actual, printed book bundles. Anyway, here's the thing ⬇️ www.humblebundle.com/books/ultima...

Very good (so far), and very different. Just as Aliens turned the horror of Alien into action, so does Earth take horor and action and turn them into cyberpunk.
;)
And then I just realised that Alien Earth is cyberpunk done really well.

Fingers and toes are crossed.
Planescape Torment: Blizzard in Baator will soon be the first ever unoofficial DLC for Planescape Torment. 💀 www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/on...
Ahoy is, thankfully, still creating brilliant videos. Here's the latest one on 1991's arcade puzzler Brat: youtu.be/pzq_4REOABk?...
The scale of Western-backed Israeli crimes is unprecedented. Humanity will neither forget nor forgive the massacres, famine, and genocide. For now, however, we must do everything in our power to stop this horror. Helping with the Global Sumud Flotilla would be a good start: globalsumudflotilla.org
Article on virtual cities titled 'The Call of the City' from the greek version of the Computer Software magazine. From 1993!
A fantastic little book on a great artist.
Gaza is being turned into hell as we speak. End the genocide now.
Tonight, time for me to start Gobliiins by my dear friends at Coktel Vision, a series I have never really played before. What am I in for? I'm betting on... lots of French weirdness. Parbleu! Come cheer me on (or boo, that's fine too) at 9.30 PM (CET) here: www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...

The Origins of Machine Games - a brand new Noclip documentary - youtu.be/SAEdFG7_X_w?...
Makes sense.
Her, oddly.
A fair and sensible offer. Still want the cook however.

I aim to make some very concrete points and END it in a nice materialist manner <3
❤️
Yes!
You have two years to prepare. Studying is in order.
It is however fascinating one has to admit.
That she'd like to either become a philosopher or a theoretical physicist. Obviously.
I did actually use this! And then promptly explained how this led to the atomic theory, but, I lost her there...
Never knew a SNES port existed! Thanks so much for this -- it does look quite stunning indeed.
Slept late last night. My 6 years old daughter wanted to debate and bravely reject the concept of infinity.
Revisiting The Door Problem With Liz England - Game Developer Podcast www.gamedeveloper.com/design/revis...
Good memories!
And hopefully not work. I imagine it will be very tough 30 years from now.
Yeah, I'm suspecting middle age is reaching its end... Unless, of course, we live to be 100.
Ouch -- will hopefully run this once again before next summer :)
Of course it is!
🏗️
I for one was convinced.
Reposting for the timezones.
Absolutely fair.
Thanks!
Wait. What?
Yeah, they were quite amazing, weren't they?
Full Metal Jacket is one of the best movies ever shot.
You are not helping with the saving of money, but that is solid advice. Thanks!
I cannot argue with that. Excellently put I'm afraid.
Would love to play it again tbh.
Same here, but I first played Stellar 7 on a CD compilation I bought sometime ~ '94.
As this is bound to be a year with quite a bit of tabletop work, I was wondering if, well, if buying the Dragonbane Core Set would be a wise professional move, and an unavoidable expense. This set to be precise: freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/dragonb...
Loved the CPC tbh
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I am not sure how I felt about it back then. The promise was certainly mindboggling however...
I only heard it on SB Pro tbh...
Of course!
The constrains of 8-bit technology led to some clever design, tech and worldbuilding solutions when it came to creating the game cities of the '80s & early '90s. So... do discover 8-bit urbanism with my free @d6learning.bsky.social lecture this October! ➡️ www.d6learning.com/course/8bitc...

Ars Technica poses a question for the ages: 'Is The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall a good game?'. Answers inside: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...
Still not something I appreciate... Also, thanks a ton!
Since people are asking for traditional roguelike recommendations, here's mine: -Dungeons of Dredmor: lighthearted intro to the genre -One Way Heroics: Also a lighthearted intro but from Japan -DCSS: Free, complex & beginner friendly -ToME: My favorite, has great combat, secrets & difficulty options
I also downloaded the demo if I'm being honest.

I'd rather avoid Apple altogether.
I think I'll be doing this too.
Because they made it like this.
Linux and LibreOffice are good starting points.
It's certainly not easy sadly. Monopolies do force themselves into people's lives after all.
Being able to CTRL-Z something out of existence is but a simple example. Having ads on my lock-screen another.
That's a *lovely* way of looking at things!
Finishing up a small GDD on a city builder that's already in pre-production. Frankly, this thing is ridiculously exciting & ambitious.
Yeeeeeeeeees
Thanks! I think I'll probably -at the very least- add a Linux partition.
The Entire History of Horror Games, despite forgetting to mention Scratches, is a fantastic and thorough video, as well as a fascinating design lesson. Watch it here: youtu.be/-L9x-L2XQw4?...
🤩
And that is exactly where monopolies become interesting, isn't it?
I have to agree with both of you.
XP was good.
And it's OK performance-wise?
Yes. There needs to be a way around this.
Windows 11 is completely shit.
Grandma Bethlinda's Variety Box is a masterpiece. 📦 ifdb.org/viewgame?id=...
Seriously brilliant video, mind you.
Listen to @greyalien.bsky.social discuss indie games, indie survival, and Forbidden Solitaire. Then be impressed with his dev pipeline, and go wishlist the game. Here's the interview: youtu.be/eAvHGqPfYko?...
'The Sick World of Prison Tycoon Games' sounds like something I should be reading • www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-sic...
