Hero's Adventure is 50% OFF: store.steampowered.com/app/1948980/... One of the best RPGs I ever played, got over 130 hours in it. It's an open-world martial arts RPG with unparallel levels of freedom - join or destroy any faction, siege / save towns, become emperor, hunt secret arts, marry, etc...

Jordan Mechner's favorite port/version of Prince of Persia. Loved the game when I played it back a couple decades. Really interesting to see all the ports discussed www.jordanmechner.com/en/latest-ne...

This Day of the Tentacle intro remake is really spectacular! youtu.be/2LYPfMBie9Y #adventuregames

Recently, I stumbled upon Magic 8 Ball, the newest release by Norwegian prog band Gazpacho. This isn't usually my jam, but damn, this stuck in my ears, can't stop listening to it. Thankfully this one is on Bandcamp, so you can check it out for free gazpachoband.bandcamp.com/album/magic-...

Metroid is a fascinating study of fandoms vs shifting official presentation, clashing visions of what and who a character is, and also of a franchise that is way more popular overseas than it is in its home country.

GLITCH PRODUCTIONS paid me to rebrand Bloodborne Kart A SECOND TIME into the mini game GLITCH KARTS!!! im serious. its real. i made multiple cutscenes with their characters and everything. lol. play the game here: glitchkarts.com/474c49544348... check out the whole video here: youtu.be/pZsMHnTDytg

Of course - slop begets slop.

I've just put the last finishing touches on a Beta version of Castlevania II for the SNES. A big part of the last couple weeks were getting this intro scene from the Enhanced Romhack working on the SNES:

I'm bringing you all the newest information on advanced water simulation technology in dungeon crawlers

Added subtle movement to the water/liquids in DR2A. store.steampowered.com/app/3819770/...

Working on some mind-bogglingly realistic water simluation. #gamedev #pixelart #crpg #dungeoncrawler #blobber

Ooh, some new Hibernaculum gameplay footage. And it looks - and I say this as the highest praise possible - like the kind of fake game that Plastiboo would make an art-book about.

No idea what this is, but it looks cool as hell

#WishlistWednesday is for people who get excited about accidental immolation Wishlist Chronicles IV on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3919080/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #roguelike #ultima #steam

Factory 95 is an automation game set in Windows 95 where you make PowerPoint Factories #pitchyagame

I really love the visuals, there's just something about these kind of minimalist graphics that I love (or it might be just a case of nostalgia)

I'm ready to spore

The new game from @sinclairstrange.bsky.social looks fantastic! Giving Wonderboy vibes for sure! store.steampowered.com/app/628360/S...

TWO WEEKS UNTIL DEMONSCHOOL

New dungeon crawler out on Steam. There's a demo if you wanna try out first (or get the DRM-free version on itch.io midnightspiregames.itch.io/minerva-laby...) store.steampowered.com/app/3520970/...

If you're on the Switch and like to play a cool Ultima-like, Moonring comes out on the 20th of November. Highly recommended game (though if you want you can play for free right now on Steam) www.youtube.com/watch?v=csmY...

Highly recommend checking this out. Absolutely crushes it with the pixel art, and the gameplay seems to be quashing all the complaints I heard about their previous MV title (which, for the record, I really liked).

Not every game is for everyone and it's all subjective. I personally am glad for games that strike a chord very well with specific players rather than always trying broadly appeal to everyone. Means I won't be able to get into some, but the tradeoff is I'll be able to really get into certain others.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

Resident Evil Gaiden (2001, Game Boy Color)

New release: Dinosaur Resurrection (2002 - Win) - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dinosaur-resurrection-yxm #abandonware

I made a map of La-Mulana! I've tried to hand-draw every nook and cranny of the ruins. There are still a couple things to touch up, and I'm sure I made some mistakes; let me know if you notice any. 💕 drive.google.com/file/d/16JoM...

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

Hi, CEO of I Made It Games LLC, here. We're looking for viral indie games with a cool aesthetic that have a proven gameplay loop, narrative hook, the interest of top 1% streamers, and are 80-90% complete. In exchange for 50% of your profits we'll let you put our name on the Publisher field in Steam.

Oh, sweet - after some drama (early WIP versions had some kind of DRM to prevent leaks), the expanded, modded version of the Mega Man X8 Demake is out, with Axl & Zero playable. Released a few months back but I missed it due to... *gestures expansively* www.reddit.com/r/Megaman/co...

AAA pricing got you down? Why not play a free (updated!) game to piss you off instead: LONG ROAD TO HECK, a globe-trotting RPG with 20 dungeons to conquer and tons of loot to collect! The catch? You only have 60 minutes to reach level 99 and defeat the dark lord. crazetex.itch.io/long-road-to...

Playing bad games doesn't ruin your credibility, it actually makes you learn about what you like. You start noticing effort, weird ideas, stuff that polished games smooth over. Play more broken, weird, and ambitious trash; it’s good for your taste and good for your brain. #blog #gaming

the key to game design is to imagine the target audience for your game and then imagine how you would make them the most upset

Finally got around to playing the JAM version of Dragon Ruins entropypump.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/d...

Listened to two Re-Animator commentaries to play to this point, since running back to town to heal is a bit exhausting, and while the most music is good, I needed some variety in the end

Missing Sir Terry this morning. GNU.

just an image to show the game itself

This crawler looks pretty cool. Planned to release in Early Access, but from what they say sounds like the game is pretty much finished and its more like bugtesting than anything else. Hopefully that's true store.steampowered.com/app/4022710/...

Will be interesting to see which games he cites and/or looks at as at this point its all precursors as the genre doesn't really exists yet

PopoloCrois Monogatari II (PS1) English patch new update 1.3+1.31 is out now by zenskren. the change as to following fixed some untranslated left,etc and manual booklet is in HQ scans! patch available here: romhackplaza.org/translations...

Sorry I didn't have any Steam sale recommendations, but just before it ends, this ASTRO PORT bundle should be worth a look for shmup and mech fans. Big fan of Gigantic Army myself! store.steampowered.com/bundle/12969...

And available for everyone is this article on The Dark Spire! "...it really understands that Wizardry is more than a dungeon crawling icon; it’s [...] worthy of being played for its own sake, fame and age deemed irrelevant. " kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/10/06/t...

As we get into the spoopy season this week for #RandomGameSaturday we have Full Quiet, a new (ish) horror sidescroller for the NES! The game has a large contiguous world, a day/night cycle (don't get caught out at night!) and does a lot with Morse code.

Yeah, I was thinking about the Ultima IP, but nothing that will come out of there will be better than recent gems like Caves of Lore & Moonring. Just play those instead - two bangers, one free store.steampowered.com/app/2373630/... , one on sale: store.steampowered.com/app/2227130/...
