NEW POST: I played BALLxPIT. I loved BALLxPIT. But whether an attempt to upcycle a rapidly tired genre or an accidental accoutrement to the problems found within, Kenny Sun & Friends have created something brilliant that I nonetheless struggle to champion:

Lavender Birth is an expression of poetry and queer resilience created in the Doom engine. By @chariotrider.bsky.social pizzapranks.itch.io/indiepocalypse-70

1982 was very early for Japanese adventure games, with only a small number of releases. Takara Building Adventure thus is one of the earliest adventure games in Japanese, but it was not generally available... ...until today. Includes some unexpected history! bluerenga.blog/2025/10/29/t...
