ScummVM fixing stream! Last time we got caught in the weeds of a big refactor, but this week we can hopefully spend some quality time with Mean City and that misanthrope penguin. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

It's late and I have deadlines, let's play more Australian edutainment to skive off. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Leaving a bad review for Mean City on TripAdvisor! Warmup: noot noot twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

An Australian edutainment game, which I had fond memories of growing up, was apparently dumped very recently. Can I finish it in one sitting? Maybe! Also: writing a disassembler for the SCUMM engine to help with [redacted]! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Her Interactive released a 5-CD FMV dating sim which uses Director, so that's what we're looking at today! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

The whole point of digital preservation is capturing the humanness of its context e.g. maker, the experience and its impact. That is what future generations will care about. Once you bring AI into the mix you might as well delete it and spit in my eye.

ScummVM fixing stream! Aiming to find all of the hidden vampire scrolls in Canadian FMV vampire game GOTHOS! Warmup: "learn English or DIE!" twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Monday night stream. I've finished making my DOS adventure game. What's next? It involves a noisemaking toy, and I have maybe a 20% idea of what I'm doing twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Indie Game Roundup (September 6, 2025) virtualmoose.org/2025/09/06/i...

A big thank you to Davide Depau - who saw that Toshiba/Dynabook had a collection of laptop drivers dating back to the 1990s, and had the instinct of "I need to archive all of this right now before it rots". For that day has indeed come, and his mirror saved my bacon. toshiba-mirror.depau.gay

For the past year, I've been making an adventure game for DOS. It's been fun, but it's now ready to ship. Tonight we finish the few last-minute tasks and hit the big switch! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Appalling news about a historic and beloved publication, one which has run such powerful work on Palestine and our national debate under the stewardship of Esther Anatolitis and Eli McLean. A disturbing time for our creative and literary landscape. www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/04/m...

The DOS Game Jam starts in less than a day! We're two participants away from 100! Will you be the one to make number go up?

ScummVM fixing stream! We continue being a snarky vampire in the 3-disc FMV odyssey GOTHOS! Warmup: Oscar Wilde?? twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

One. One animation. That's all I have left to draw in this DOS adventure game project I am working on. Watch as I regret in real time not finding a cheaper way to write it out of the narrative. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Today we try out meet-n-bite vampire simulator GOTHOS! Warmup: something called mylk?? twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Tonight we look at Freak Show by the Residents! Warmup: bugs! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Quelle surprise, the Productivity Commission is advocating for the same kind of "pro-innovation regulatory environment" (i.e. no regulation, thanks) as the Tech Council and big tech companies—all based on hype and speculation www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/cu...

A new version of the Tex Murphy mouselook patch is available, which adds a new Reach key and fixes a couple of bugs. Thanks to LOADHIGH for the tipoff. github.com/moralrecordi... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Coworking stream! I know exactly how many frames of animation remain undrawn for this DOS adventure game! I regret everything! Maybe I'll intersperse the pain with some fun hacking! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Impromptu Friday stream! I feel restored today, so I am doing a bit of ScummVM Director fixing in lieu of yesterday. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

No stream tonight, not feeling super great

No adventure gamedev stream tonight; working on stuff I cannae show yet. See you on Thursday!

ScummVM fixing stream! Continuing to work on preserving Laurie Anderson's Puppet Motel! Maybe start with some Rodney Greenblat! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

A few days ago I released a patch which replaces the unhinged movement system in Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon with mouselook + WASD. Turns out the sequel is pretty much the same, so here's a mod for The Pandora Directive. Feast your eyes on this side-by-side comparison github.com/moralrecordi...

Coworking stream! Work continues on the final stages of the DOS adventure game, including (hopefully) the last OPL3 music cues we need, and some character sprites. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

I got sick of the bonkers control scheme in Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon and patched in mouselook + WASD. (This footage looks shocking if you've suffered through the normal velocity-based mouse controls, honest!) github.com/moralrecordi...

No stream tonight, trying to shake a migraine

Coworking stream! Working on my DOS adventure game... dear god we are so close to finishing, there's a single digit number of animations left. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Since last week's failed attempt, we've managed to get Laurie Anderson's Puppet Motel to show graphics and play audio in ScummVM's Director engine, so tonight we will get to explore the gallery! Warmup: Grackon's Curse! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Today we try and resuscitate Laurie Anderson's challenging interactive museum piece Puppet Motel! Warmup: birds! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Coworking stream! Once again, working on my DOS adventure game... only this time, forcing it to run inside a web browser, contravening the laws of God and man! Also I need to do more sprite drawing because I'm a sucker for peer pressure! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Last week we fixed most of the problems with Cracking the Conspiracy; all that's left is to make it to the end and learn the horrible truth about Area 51! Warmup: sailors! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Working on my DOS adventure game! Doing some music composition for the OPL3, plus forcing myself to colour in more character sprites. twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

After being tipped off by @philsalv.bsky.social I am now a member of the Pretzel Pete club. Can't wait to try out the 16-player multiplayer with all the other Pretzelheads out there

If the media (including outlets that have defined themselves as anti Trump) and countries that claim to support the “rules-based order” won’t stand up to Trump illegally bombing a country on made up evidence, they won’t stand up to him in anything. Total frauds.

ScummVM fixing stream! We continue to probe the mysteries of Area 51 as we fix Cracking the Conspiracy! Warmup: plates! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Working on my DOS adventure game and I figured out a really cheap way to add high-quality CGA graphics twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Coworking stream! Doing more pixel art for my DOS adventure game! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

ScummVM fixing stream! Continuing to work on getting bonkers FMV Area 51 break-in game "Cracking the Conspiracy" to run. Warmup: a lost child! twitch.tv/moralrecordi...

Today I learned about "The Quest", a formerly lost CD from 1995 produced by Kidsoft and animated by Cartoon Network Studios. I don't know what the brief was, but for some reason the intro is full of... Myst jokes? Was this meant to be a little something for the adults? FAO @philsalv.bsky.social

No stream tonight; most of my hardware is being used for music production in the other room and I am behind on deadlines.

No stream tonight! We'll be back Monday.
