Been bouncing back and forth between Beyond Good & Evil on the PS3 and the new anniversary edition. The game on PS3 retains a lot of the audio effects such a reverb etc., which seem to unfortunately be absent in the new version, which is a big shame.

i've been working on parsing the file groups in the ps3 build of the orange box and found a couple things exclusive to the copy of portal on it - Windows server.dll build from 2 months before the game released on PC - this dark and griddy background art

Thank you so much to those that have donated so far! For those that missed it, our cat has been diagnosed with cancer and we're struggling a bit with the payment. If you're able to either donate or spread the word, it'd be really appreciated! ❤️ gofund.me/b07d82d3f

Hi everyone, first time I've had to resort to something like this but our cat will be receiving cancer treatment and we may need help paying for it. If you can provide anything, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you ❤️ gofund.me/02f73e2d7

Can finally cross Zootropolis 2 off my list. It was very good! 🦊

It only took me four years to get round to it.

Uploaded a new video for the channel. Checking out an old fan project that aimed to create a sequel to Outcast. Hopefully they enjoyed the official sequel we got so many years later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUWV...

I'm a little late, but it's really great to see a couple of pre-release builds of New Vegas turn up. hiddenpalace.org/News/A_Mojav... Looking forward to see what the modding community does with it all, and the preservation community document what's there.

I've discovered that the Taxi 3 collector DVD contains a handful of Rayman content on its bonus disc! This includes a PC demo of Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, the game's opening with Madder by Groove Armada, and the prelease versions of three Wanna Kick Rayman animations! youtu.be/wsFTbQ2N6-Y (Archive ⬇️)

Was playing Ghosthunter yesterday. This is the funniest glitch I've seen in a while. Wish I'd had my microphone on.

We've added a collection of Max Payne marketing CDs to the site, thanks to a user named Dr. Proton for donating them. archive.thedatadungeon.com/max_payne_20...

We were working on a SNES 'Taz' game at Software Creations in about 1993/4 and all that remains of the game are these three Taz sprite frames. That may change if I uncover any other artwork. I believe these were drawn/animated by Andy Wilson ( RIP ). Andy is at the front in the photo.

Implemented some rather simple depth of field yesterday.

It's a little dumb, but I sometimes dislike playing games on PC (esp. recently) because my stupid ass brain will get caught up fiddling with the graphics settings every second trying to aim for a perfect balance between visuals and performance; but I want all the sparkly turned on.

Kinda wondering if I've burnt myself out. Motivation was kinda at a low most of this year already, but yesterday something's just clicked in my head and I'm just sort of, dead inside.

Something very special today with the release of Jeff Minter's 'Fastlife' for the ZX81 - based on Conway's 'Life', preserved for the first time by Steve Brown of the TZXVault and released by Games That Weren't today! More details and download here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/10/earl...

Couldn't help myself from setting the Crash Bandicoot "Woah" sound as the notification sound on my phone. Nothing has ever been more perfect.

Did a bit more work on the compass.

Setting properties was working for scene nodes, but not for entities as they're a special case in the engine. As of today, it now works for entities, and there's now automatic write/read for properties you set up with some basic validation. Apologies for ugly UI, it's pending a rewrite 🙃

Ah yes... Up.

Not sure why I didn't post about it earlier, but late last month I added a gradient sky effect for the game. The one that's actually in use isn't as trippy as this, it's just for demonstration purposes. Well, unless you want to make a level that way I guess. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Looks like another pre-release The Sims build has turned up! archive.org/details/the-...

Rather interesting that the American McGee's Alice port on console now seems to be available for Madness Returns without requiring a code? It's a pretty interesting port, though seems to perform terribly on the PS3. Curious if it performs any better on 360.

It's now possible to merge brushes in the engine into a single object, export it and then import it into other rooms. You can technically child the brushes to a parent node and export that but it felt a little messy rather than just doing it as one object. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with my cancer battle gofund.me/6850175a3

Are you interested in #gamehistory, #reverseengineering or #gamedev? Then this might be of interest to you.

Gradually making progress on a compass. This'll be a lot less obnoxious when I'm done. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Well that was a pain, but my engine now supports variable pitch fonts correctly. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

There are some really weird accounts on GitHub that just seem to follow and unfollow over and over? I wish GitHub had a block feature.

I'm really not even sure where to start on this as to why it's so... Wrong...

I don't know if I'm just not interesting enough for people to want to chat with or what, but whenever I try my best to reach out to people, it's always just a one-sided conversation, and they never make any effort to reach out in return.

A new Rayman 3 press kit just got dumped and it has some really nice high quality Rayman 3 GBA art! I'll post a few of them here. Press kit link: archive.org/details/R3_U... #rayman

Hi @ledbydonkeys.org, love your activism work. I've emailed and messaged you guys about it over and over, but why are you still actively contributing to Elon's Twitter and Zuck's Threads? Your Bluesky account almost has more followers than Threads, and yet you've stopped updating it.

If your placeholder assets aren't clearly placeholders, you'll forget to replace them Back in ~1999, the art director for some dollhouse game made a temporary diamond-shaped model for their character UI. By the time he realized they hadn't replaced it, it was too late and it shipped as-is. Oops!

Today I've published a rather extensive look at Haven: Call of the King, for the PlayStation 2. Not quite as extensive as I was hoping but probably long enough I'm rather doubtful many are going to manage reading the entire thing. talonbrave.info/2025/09/10/h... Do let me know what you think!

Having fun with the camera on my new phone.

I've uploaded the source code for Quantic Dream's engine (from 2006) to GitHub and archive.org per the links below. Be sure to mirror, as you never know how long things like this might last online :) github.com/data-dungeon... archive.org/details/qd-s...

Ended up buying little joystick caps for all our PS5 controllers due to how much shit seems to gradually stick to the rubber and it's always a pain to clean them off.

Uhm, am I missing something here? Why is Cisco blocking Ukrainian users? They're a US based company. Why is this not raising red flags? It looks like it's been going on for a few months now. github.com/cisco/openh2...

Really enjoyed the Rayman Alive showcase. A bit bummed out I couldn't participate this time, but it was wonderful seeing so many other great projects out there. The Ubisoft feature at the end got me a bit emotional.

So a while back I'd uploaded the source code for a pre-release version of The Darkness and the Starbreeze Engine, from a leak a few years back. The upload was taken down though. I finally got off my fat ass and mirrored them onto The Data Dungeon site. archive.thedatadungeon.com/the_darkness...

TOMORROW 8: 00 CEST RAYMAN ALIVE Don't miss the presentation of tons of Rayman fan games and other fun surprises for the 30th anniversary ❤️❤️❤️

I fucking hate this country. And this is about as much of a mess as I expected it to be; Hatred isn't blocked. Postal 2 isn't blocked. But some game called TurretGirls, which, as far as I'm aware doesn't have NSFW content, is blocked.
