Hope everyone has been enjoying SGDQ! In case you missed it, my game Towerbolt will be having it's GDQ debut this week on Friday 7/10 at 3:05 AM PST! ⚡ I'm so excited for the run and looking forward to supporting the run from the commentator's couch! Check it out! #SGDQ #speedrunning #indiegames

So we prototyped a family tree roguelike inspired by one of our team member's love of historical family drama - Our first one in this genre, but Pedigreed's now on Itch! pillowcastle.itch.io/pedigreed. Let us know what you think! @itch.io

AI is mainly championed by ppl who bluffed their way through life, never understanding how anything works. When AI promised to offload thinking from humans, they went "Finally, we can ALL drop the act!" only to be met with blank stares. So it's either embrace AI or admit they are failures as people.

Towerbolt is getting a free Speedrunning Update in late June! This update is focused on adding speedrunning QoL features: ⚡ Global Leaderboards for each ranked floor ⚡ Player Ghosts ⚡ Repeat Level Mode Open beta for this is out NOW on the Towerbolt discord! (link below) #indiegames #speedrunning

Trail sign improvement project. Regardless, keep away from the cliff edge! #cascadiaquest #textparser

Today on Quest Quest, @decafjedi.com and I are joined by the great and hilarious @sarajbenincasa.bsky.social to finally talk about King's Quest 4! We talk about that, the fisherman's whole marriage situation and writing for MST3K. Here or where ever you get your dang pods: zencastr.com/z/J35vdfW-

The official #DOSember Game Jam release of Quest for Erasmus is out. tacoadventure.itch.io/quest-for-er... Thanks to @thedeivore.bsky.social @invisiblespiders.com and slattstudio.com for making some of the screens for the game. The game is not complete yet and more is coming in the new year.

Tried to turn off copilot autosuggest because it just provides random garbage suggestions, and it suggested that copilot might not actually be installed (as I'm chatting with it).

"Things Left Behind", personal piece from 2019 or so. I'm always trying to remind myself to save some time for personal work like this, but I haven't been terribly effective at doing so.

Today's gamedev research

Big announcement. Find all the details from the developer himself. Ben Chandler aims to make us feel Gilt adventuregamehotspot.com/interview/55... @benchandler.bsky.social @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social #indiegame #adventuregame

I've been working on finishing Antenna Dilemma, a game I started in... 2019. 😅 It's so old that it even has a prologue page on Steam. You can try the first chapter there for free! store.steampowered.com/app/1027990/...

What other classic computers merit inclusion in Cascadia Quest?

I've always loved the title screen of the first Space Quest game (also the first #adventuregame I ever played). So I figured I'd recreate it in #blender and animate it.

Highlights: - A new Fan Games section (wiw.org/~jess/fangam...) - A new Videos section (wiw.org/~jess/videos...) - A new Publications section (wiw.org/~jess/public...) I'm especially excited about the last one, a collection of all things "SQ in print," from strategy guides to reviews to ads.

how wonderful to have a section of your source code which is fully legible sprite data

I've started working on a fan game based around the Quest for Glory series set around Erasmus' house in the original EGA game. I'm planning on use the same engine (SCI0) and I'm wondering if anyone would like to help make some art and rooms for this game. Happy to share my concept so far.

Which has the best forests?

Well this was a bad day to start a Miro board for my game.

I just realized you can't set a goal higher than $9999.99 on a sale but it would be funny to go over that, so... let's see what happens 👀 itch.io/s/158296/40-...

Country life! #cascadiaquest

It's tough getting noticed when you're an indie developer, especially when there are so many cool games out now! Help spread the word about Rosewater so it doesn't blow away into obscurity like a tumbleweed. (Did I mention it's currently 20% off on Steam?) store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

ROSEWATER has been out for nearly a month! I’m still delighted by the fantastic reception it’s gotten. If you haven’t had a chance to experience Harley Leger’s adventures across the frontier, there’s no time like the present! store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

If you threw Full Throttle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Conquests of the Longbow, and Fallout New Vegas into a blender, you'd get: ROSEWATER! A Wild West adventure, out now on Steam and GOG! grundislav.games/Rosewater.html

Not shade for for doing so, but what's the point of a silent artshare? I *want* to talk with you all more! So, share your art & ask a question or say something interesting! I'll start: this is my piece, Baldur's Gate Harbor. I don't care that it's an MTG basic, it's a top fave of mine. #artshare
