Finally caught up with @hprshredder.bsky.social's Doki Doki Panic in-depth review. To play on the video title: don't take such well-produced and thoughtful videos for granted! Very refreshing to see someone approach these games as a curious and open-minded newcomer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syie...

Whoa, The Legendary Axe fan art from snakepixel! Not expecting that. It's true - enemy designs from old games have an unhinged "spark" and I love seeing a skilled redraw. I always thought the auto-charging strength meter in this and Astyanax/The Lord of King (great name) was interesting, too.

Here's all of the new content that I managed to add since the demo released at the end of last May -- this is starting to feel like a real game! [Sound On] 🔊 MADHOUSE goes into Steam Early Access on 10/01 🎃 #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #horrorgame #rpg

I was lucky enough to make my favorite weirdo Mooncat from UFO 50 for this art collab! Be sure to go check out everyone else's work!

Ideally, a boss runback maintains some of the initial tension of encountering the boss, and also offers some space to think and strategize. Respawning right in front of a boss means no time to think and therefore no time to adapt, encouraging a "beat head against wall" approach to play.

Might be the only person to beat every official Castlevania video game, including the Tiger handheld games, the light gun arcade game, and the mobile games.

UFO 50 for Nintendo Switch is set to release in New Zealand on September 25. Thanks for your patience!

IT'S OUR NINTH BIRTHDAY 🎉 So we're launching a brand new channel - dedicated to discovering new games that push our industry forward, previews of exciting new titles and reporting on the issues that face gaming today. welcome to noclip_2 TRAILER: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7lf...

Our first update for UFO 50 on Switch is out now (v1.7.8.30)! - Icon changed - Optimizations to address slowdown (more planned) - Pixel perfect scaling option added - Button swapping added - Addressed crash when copying Empty Profile - Global language setting now saves properly

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

This one took me a while but got another big Castlevania retrospective up on YouTube today! This one covers the GBA/PS2/DS games, and a few java janksterpieces too. Enjoy! youtu.be/cPpyzs-WPJ0 Spreading the word is much appreciated as always :)

Our UFO 50 Deluxe Edition is built around a 100+ page guidebook designed to take you deeper into the world of UFO 50 (and, like any classic game mag, provide a bunch of tips and tricks you can tell friends you discovered yourself) Preorders are open now: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

thought this was really beautiful

we finally have a release date! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhxm...

Cooperative turn-based roguelikes are rare, so I'm really excited about this one - doubly so because it's coming from Tyriq (who was on the UFO 50 team) and Stevie! Love the theme, too - I got my eye on that Frothbarian class!

The Coin Journals (月刊コインジャーナル) have hit Canadian soil! Thank you to everyone who donated to help make this happen. pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2025/05/coin... I do not envy the task ahead of our remarkable preservationist @detchibe.bsky.social but I am grateful the mags are in their capable hands.

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.
