ehehehe. Thanks @noodleawesome.bsky.social so much for the sweet surprise mention in your video love letter to pixel art! @frankcifaldi.bsky.social of @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social took a few screenshots of The Crimson Diamond using the same tech used by magazines back in the day. I love how it looks.

My 10 most most listened to bands on #Tidal in 2025 Judas Priest will always take the top spot, while other favorites, like Thy Catafalque, Devin Townsend, and Helloween will always make an appearance on monthly/annual recaps #TidalRewind #TidalRewind2025 #Metal #HeavyMetal #BlackMetal #PowerMetal

I've played this and it RULES. And it will cost you a whopping zero buckazoids to experience it for yourself!!

In #BeyondShadowgate you encounter The Gatekeeper within Gatekeeper Mountain It's an Elder being with omniscient-like vision that violates the aesthetic distance My design was taken directly from the box art to the original '87 #Macintosh release of #Shadowgate #PointAndClickAdventure #PixelArt

I've made 21 #MegaMan levels in #MegaManMaker, from traditional levels, to a couple of mini-Metroidvanias, and even a remake of the DOS game. Check out this awesome MMM fan site, and try out my levels. I'd love to hear what you think of them @megamanmaker.com megamaker.webmeka.io/user-profile...

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

For fun, I put together a proof of concept of what a Sherlock Holmes game would look like in the NESventure style of Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and The Uninvited #SherlockHolmes #Shadowgate #PointAndClickAdventure #ConceptArt #PixelArt #pixel

My most anticipated games of 2026: DragonQuest is my favorite VG franchise. Nioh 2 was a PERFECT masterpiece. Storm, my Goddess, is my favorite comic book character / character, period. As much as I LOVE Souls-likes, I respect Capcom for not caving and making the upcoming Onimusha into one.

Thanks, AI

An amazing review of our game #BeyondShadowgate from last year by Dennis Fleaman of @retrolike.bsky.social I get chocked up when I read flattering reviews of our games, cause I love sharing my passion for #RetroGames, #PointAndClickAdventure games, and #Shadowgate retrolike.net/2024/10/17/b...

I've made over 20 #MegaMan levels using the brilliant #MegaManMaker, by @megamanmaker.com I've also made #NintendoPower style guides for each one, like these four examples, as well as playthroughs of a bunch of them on my YouTube channel, @ GrahfMetalGames megamaker.webmeka.io/user-profile...

In #BeyondShadowgate, the four jewels on the bottom shelf in the treasury are the jewels you collect in Wizard on #C64 Wizard was an important part of my childhood as it made me fall in love with level design with it's level editor mode #Shadowgate #IndieGame #PointAndClickAdventure #PixelArt

🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 Here's my #OC, Kauline, dressed up as Terra from #FFVI (My favorite VG character), Taarna from #HeavyMetal, V from #Cyberpunk2077, and Ayla from #ChronoTrigger, all drawn beautifully by @lamacchiarto.bsky.social #Halloween #HalloweenArt #BlackOC #TransOC #OCart #DigitalArt

When making #BeyondShadowgate, writer @thechrism.bsky.social would sometimes send me pics of his literal napkin doodles to show me his ideas as inspiration struck #Shadowgate #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #PointAndClickAdventure #PixelArt #Pixel

I'm new to animation, but I have made several animations for InfestedX, and #TheUninvited2 will have some as well Here's a test animation I made with my #OC, Kauline, speaking in the style of a #16-bit 90s Point & Click Adventure game dialogue pop-up #Pixel #PixelArt #InternationalAnimationDay

10 Games to get to know me

I remade every Judas Priest album cover in pixel art. I limited myself to standard icon size [32 x 32 px] and 14 colors. #JudasPriest #Metal #HeavyMetal #PixelArt #Pixel #MSPaint

AMAZING art of my #OC Kauline, as a witch, drawn beautifully by the wickedly talented @lamacchiarto.bsky.social #Halloween #HalloweenArt #BlackOC #TransOC #OCart #DigitalArt #AnimeStyle

I made some #mockup #Metal Album covers and track lists for some of the areas in #EldenRing Limgrave = Heavy Metal Liurnia = Prog. Metal Caelid = Death Metal Ainsel River = Black Metal Leyndell = Power Metal Mountaintops = Folk Metal Elphael = Doom Metal Farum Azula = Symphonic Metal

I use MS Paint for all of my #pixelart, including the art for Infested, Spectacle, #BeyondShadowgate, and now #TheUninvited2. There's something cozy about using a program with very limited tools. I even downloaded a much older version #MSPaint, cause the newer versions are too fancy. Yeah, I'm weird

A couple years ago we were making a game, Themeire, an unofficial spin-off to #Shadowgate, when SG co-creator, Dave Marsh, reached out to us to work on #BeyondShadowgate In Themeire there was a mansion in which antagonist Talimar grew up. We wound up using that in BSG, along with most of the UI

In #BeyondShadowgate The "Gangster Skull" death screen is a reference to the title screen for Deja Vu on the NES, while the Wraith death screen is a reference to a production photo of a ghost from Raiders of the Lost Ark #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #PointAndClickAdventure #PixelArt #Shadowgate

Here's my Top 10 Video Game tracks that put me in the Halloween Mood 🎃 What are some of your favorites? 👻 #Halloween #VGmusic #Top10 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The box art for Beyond Shadowgate [2024] was drawn by the late, great Stephen Peringer. He was the artist who gave us the iconic box art for the NES ports of Shadowgate and Deja Vu, among MANY other game covers. He sadly passed away last year, but his legacy lives on through his legenday art.
