It looks like longstanding, thorough, and stylish Wizardry series spoiler site EMONOYA has finally gone offline. The way the landing page is laid out to imitate the Apple II original's GUI is pretty cool; take a look: web.archive.org/web/20250318...

that escalated quickly

Just when I thought the game was out of levels

dragon quest 1 is in the air lately, so please enjoy this old blog exploring the development of one of my favorite relationships with a jrpg world map tunditur-unda.neocities.org/posts/2020-0...

I like when games use regular tiles and world map tiles on the same screen to represent the foreground/background. Neat effect

Looks like the English-translated release of Wolf RPG Maker was updated last month: www.moddb.com/engines/wolf... For the longest time it was stuck on a comparatively ancient late '10s release, so this is pretty neat!

Re-sharing this because I'm starting a 'Furige Book Club' where we play a different mid-length (~8-25 hours) furige each month and then discuss it, and I'm looking for more people! A random person will pick the game each month, so I don't know what we'll be playing, but it'll probably be good.

Read my review of '08 freeware DRPG Moshimo no Meikyuu, as featured in this week's Critical Distance roundup!

Clever gimmick

broke: only one button forbidden woke: only one button allowed www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Vh...

Never seen anyone talk about SmokingWOLF's writing, probably because his only translated game is the naturally writing-light One Way Heroics, but it's consistently really funny; lots of great gags in Silfade Kenbunroku

move over LISA

Much-cloned '05 furige RPG Yukimichi just got a rerelease for modern PCs: stps.jp/mygame/mygam...

Beat '07 VIPRPG Moshimo no Meikyuu (MOSIMOの迷宮) by ksg主. Pretty good DRPG! The SMT-like leveling system where you assign one point to your choice of STR, VIT, MAG, AGI, or LUC, each with multiple effects and unlocking new skills at different thresholds, is really cool --

Opened this chest wondering what could possibly justify so much security and it turned out to be the greatest sword of all time. 1.5x EXP, and I'm pretty sure it's party-wide

There's a next Xbox?

cgp.space/blog/sqen/ Looks like CloneGameParty, host of loads of clones and semi-clones of classic RPGs, got a takedown request. Sad! I hadn't touched their library yet, but I'd certainly seen the site mentioned a lot

Moshimo no Meikyuu 9F was really not worth mapping

real mystery dungeon game confirmed

There really is a VIPRPG for every genre

long, repetitive solutions in sokoban-likes are the devil

in a just world, the humble Leg Eater would have persisted alongside the Goblin and Bomb

freaky enemy

Hell of a chest

every nes/snes action-platformer has to have the infinitely spawning flying guy who knocks you off the platform
