Sorry the stream ended rather abruptly. I got a BSOD (again). It happened the last time I streamed, too, and I didn't want to restart the stream in case it just happened again. The crack team of nerds on my Discord are helping me diagnose but my computer is very old so it might just need replacing.

I'll be going live with Universe, the second and final adventure game from Core Design, in a few minutes. I'm playing the original Amiga version. Come watch: Twitch: twitch.tv/spacequesthi... YouTube: youtube.com/spacequesthi...

Fuck off, Twitch.

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

Five years ago I made a video about Core Design's non-verbal comic book adventure game, Curse of Enchantia, but never released it... until today. youtu.be/P_RS7rXU_TE

Launched a game publishing label with 3 friends today!!! Get at us, attack our inbox (with pitches) Really exciting to start something new with folks that have all my trust in the world and I'm looking forward to lending a helping hand to devs and their projects!

Got this in my email today: a re-release of a pretty batshit Myst clone, Drowned God. Had a look at the Steam reviews to see what I might be in for. Every review mentions unfixed bugs, despite devs' claims to the contrary, and a game guide plagiarized from Balmoral's walkthrough. Pretty scummy.

NEW VIDEO: Let's have a look inside the big, beautiful cardboard containers that Space Quests 2-6 came in: youtu.be/_LFyxTJFj9o (Why not SQ1? Well, I already did a video on that: youtu.be/7B26Gvn2AwY) Big box porn! 🤤🤤🤤 #adventuregames

I made another silly music video for a song i used parts of to make an intro for @spacequesthistorian.com Song used: "Verdensrommet" - Space Quest 3 ReMix by faRk ocremix.org/remix/OCR04323

The box for the Space Quest Collectors Edition is packed full. I am no longer saying I am close to being done. The work on this one is just insane, but sooooo worth it.

YouTube: Fucking things up for everyone since 2005.

My son: "Dad, can I play Minecraft on your computer?" Me, proud that my son is taking his first steps into learning WASD movement and mouselook: "Of course, my boy!" My son: Immediately spawns a dozen creatures and sets them all on fire.

Our friend (and self-appointed manager of Error 47) @seanthedandy.bsky.social is going live on Twitch now to commemorate the end of our Kickstarter campaign. Join us as he flopsweats through some of E47's greatest hits from Gabriel Knight, The 7th Guest, and more — RIGHT NOW: twitch.tv/seanthedandy

The search is over! Thanks to @moomanibe.bsky.social, I am now in touch with the writer of Black Dahlia! Oh, this is going to be fun...

This is an extreme long shot, but would anyone know how to get in touch with a dude named Patrick Freeman who worked at Take 2 Interactive and wrote the screenplay for the game Black Dahlia? I would really like to interview him. His Mobygames profile: www.mobygames.com/person/11927...

We did a special cover of Erana's Peace (from Quest for Glory I) in memory of Roberta Vaughan, featuring Sarah Kelley singing Roberta's sibling Ames' lyrics. youtu.be/_t9pvYSE13M Please make our tribute concert happen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sea... Check the replies for a special surprise. 👇

A while ago, I asked people what adventure game puzzles pissed them off the most. I got quite a few good responses and made them into a video: youtu.be/KqgYJ6V_Xjk Feat. @oneshorteye.bsky.social, @adventuregamegeek.bsky.social, @princess-pearl.bsky.social, and @thephantomfellows.bsky.social.

My friend and composer of my favorite game soundtrack (Space Quest IV), Ken Allen, has a little something to say about a certain campaign you may have heard of. We're about half-way funded, so please support the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sea... #adventuregames #livemusic

George Sanger, composer of The 7th Guest and about a million other classic game soundtracks, has a message for you. We've hit the typical midway slump so please, now more than ever, please share our Kickstarter and support if you can: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sea... ❤️❤️❤️

This is an excellent event to honor an amazing, kind, and influential person. Roberta helped make sure my book became a reality, and I hope I get to see everyone at this concert who can make it (and if you can't, please consider chipping in!)

Today I was reminded of this comment on my King's Quest V video about just how big of an idiot Cedric is. (And me for saying that eating snake venom would be poisonous.)

Ever wondered what was actually upstairs in Sam & Max: Hit the Road? Thanks to @changis.bsky.social, now we know, and it's... disturbing. #SamAndMax #adventuregames

The clusterfuck that was my Pandora Directive stream this evening is now up here: youtu.be/R_A5qXgFcg8 Aaron Conners joins about 1 hour into the stream. #adventuregames #TexMurphy

Just got bluescreened not once but twice during my Pandora livestream, so it ended on a rather abrupt note. I'm stitching together the restarts into a single VOD which I'll upload to my 2nd channel. Apologies for the new depths of unprofessionalism I've plumbed. I had fun while it worked, though. :)

Going live with The Pandora Directive on Hard Mode now! twitch.tv/spacequesthi...

As per usual, I did some remixes and reorchestrations of the music in The Pandora Directive for my video. Come for the smooth jazz of "Tex's Office"; stay for the metal banger in "Autotech" and the EDM dance party in Mr. Wright's cabin. spacequesthistorian.bandcamp.com/album/tex-mu...

I briefly mentioned the Under A Killing Moon remaster in my video, but it turns out it's actually a lot closer than you might think. It was a fan project but now Mat Van Rhoon and Doug Vandegrift are helping out, so it's getting more and more official. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVRj... #adventuregame

My Fair & Balanced Retrospective of Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive premieres live in 10 minutes! Come hang out and let's watch it together. youtu.be/wwhXmIx3I84 #adventuregames #TexMurphy

Under A Killing Moon with WASD controls running on an arcade cabinet using Steam Deck. The future is now. youtu.be/vFcKFqxbGsI #adventuregames #TexMurphy

Our next episode will be on the game, Old Skies, by Wadjet Eye Games. If you are looking for something to get you excited about the game, look no further than this fantastic interview with Sally Beaumont, the voice actress for Fia.

I had to make a quick video about @moralrecordings.bsky.social's patch for UAKM/Pandora because a) I've got Tex Murphy on my brain these days, and b) this NEEDS to be seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY1b... #adventuregames #TexMurphy

Join me tonight @ 9PM CEST for the live premiere of my Fair & Balanced Retrospective of The Pandora Directive on YouTube (youtu.be/wwhXmIx3I84). Then tomorrow @ 9PM CEST, I'll be playing the game on "hard mode" with writer Aaron Conners on Twitch (twitch.tv/spacequesthi...). #adventuregames

My video on the 4th #TexMurphy game, The Pandora Directive, is up in Early Access for my Patreon supporters: www.patreon.com/posts/early-... #adventuregames #fmvgames

A shout-out to the game developers whose characters I drew for this year's @adventurex.bsky.social 🧵

Mark Crowe was on Matt Chat... and namedropped my dumb ass out of the blue within the first 20 minutes. 15 year old me is gushing. 😍 youtu.be/IdVnM9UNgpA

Today on #FragmentsofSilicon we welcome @spacequesthistorian.com to the program to talk about #AdventureGames, #Youtube and yes #SpaceQuest live beginning at 11 AM ET! www.twitch.tv/fragmentsofs... #Gamedev #Indiedev #Indiegamedev #Indiedevhour

Presenting this year's characters representing AdventureX & recent adventure/narrative games! Art by the wonderful (who worked VERY quickly!) @avivor.com! Tickets for #AdvX25 are nearly 50% sold out after 8 hours, so we highly recommend getting yours ASAP before we sell out! www.adventurexpo.org

Also, the soundtrack to The Drifter is really, really, REALLY good.

New Back Seat Designers episode! We invited @dave.powerhoof.com to discuss horror in adventure games — and if it's even possible to do a scary game that doesn't devolve into tedium by the third time you've died to a timer puzzle. Links to an RSS feed and Apple Podcasts in the reply below. 👇

It's always been the rule that there's no lock sophisticated enough to keep a determined teenager out.

Did anyone ever actually think this age verification horseshit was going to work?

At long last you can play The Colonel's Bequest the way Roberta Williams intended...on a television with an Xbox controller? This is bad. Utterly, indescribably, unbelievably bad.

So so so Close to finishing the #SpaceQuest Collectors edition. I can't wait to finish it. Progress so far.

Got one of my favorite records of all time on vinyl yesterday. But, uh... can we please stop shipping records in these plain paper sleeves? Surely anti-static poly-sleeves can't impact production costs *that* much?
