side thought: I've been replaying Oracle of Ages recently I keep thinking, like... about the degree to which early zelda games embraced ambiguity. like they were deeply, deeply unafraid to show you an obstacle and NOT telegraph how its systems might be surmounted later.

randomly generated my first working dungeon. the second room had four arrow traps that shot me and knocked me into a pit, killing me instantly

making dungeons is tricky because my brain wants to make every room symmetrical but then it's super boring

i have an idea for this. i'm a bit worried it's overly complex and will feel muddy, especially since i usually adore simpler, dense game design. and yet, and yet, if it does work... it could be really really cool... wouldn't that be fun...? don't you want to die in a dungeon?

i have hijacked the vextro brand and i'm using it to spread evil rpg propaganda. please enjoy the first issue (hopefully of multiple) of our evil one-page rpg videogame bulletin, featuring 4 evil microreviews and an evil 500-word feature vextro.itch.io/darkworld

adding a ticking clock to your game is a simple way to drastically warp the experience into something new and sometimes that's really good

if i had a catchphrase, it might be, "i just thought of a great game idea!"

I’m posting a TEN year old piece of We Know the Devil ephemera to celebrate both games getting nice shiny overhauls #maxswebsite

i think it's the best when a game is irritatingly hard but then you figure out its weird rules and you learn to sort of squeeze yourself through it and it's still hard but cool and surprising in unexpected ways and then hidden underneath the gameplay you uncover a great story and it's about lesbians

i forgot how to make video games

went 1-2 at locals ;_; i gave up a set i really shouldn't have... egg on my face. no burgers for ram this month

every minute you spend debating video game remakes is a minute you spend not playing Void Stranger (2023)

shmups having auto-timed, consistent level durations means they have untapped potential that other games do not. that's right, i'm talking about musical numbers

I love you chubby Marisa EOSD
