I miss the days of weird little desktop software toys, so I made this video about The Simpsons Screen Saver collection from 1994. My favorite is "Homer Eats," where Homer walks around your desktop eating icons. Watch here: youtu.be/yhq2Bym5kTY (If you enjoy it, a like or a share goes a long way!)

New SFX repack for the 1993 DOS game Dinopark Tycoon. A business sim with some chill background music that was hard to appreciate because of the wildly loud sound samples. gamedevjeff.pixelturkey.com/dinopark/SND... (DOS . exe only, runs under DOSBox after unzipping in the game's directory)

NEW VIDEO: "Oh haha, a game made by an insurance company called The Blobjob must just be a stupid little thing." Yes, but you have NO IDEA just how stupid this story gets. youtu.be/ENXeNGt7L9I

先週東京インディーズで『Super MIDI Pak Collab』とスーパーファミコンのドット絵の作り方と実装やオプティマイズについてプレゼンテーションを行いました！ プレゼンを公開したので、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします I talked Super MIDI Pak Collab and making pixel art graphics work on the SNES at Tokyo Indies last week! If you missed it, here are the slides (日本語)! docs.google.com/presentation...

currently doing a test bake & decorate of a golf-course cake design using a carrot cake mix for the base & icing, wish me luck (or reply with a memorable golf game)

You can tell me Bluesky is dead, irrelevant and actively hostile, but you have NO IDEA how many point & click adventure games I've played.

agreed, it's why my 10 minute adventure game I made for the ann arbor district library has a bookshelf where each book is a different reference to the city of Ann Arbor michael-klamerus.itch.io/dr-chase

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats o'er pedestals and plinths When all at once I saw a crowd A host of Roman hyacinths (thinks) nah that's not it

Transfer Point is now available! It’s a point-and-click adventure game about regret, forgiveness, and email. It was made in World Builder, a Mac app from 1986. You can play it free in your web browser. InvisiClues are available if you need a hint! robotspacer.software/transfer-poi... #MARCHintosh

Good fake ads are an important part of game design craft

Transfer Point will be available this Friday, March 27. You’ll be able to play it free in your browser at robotspacer.software. A downloadable version will be available for $5 on robotspacer.itch.io to play on your own classic Mac or emulator. The download includes a PDF of the illustrated manual.

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

Shinji Kimura did a mountain of production design (usually a couple of these drawings each day) and we started storyboarding as soon as he was finished designing. #Tekkon #鉄コン #AmerBeton #木村真二 #anime

Finally had a chance to spend more time painting today. Made some good progress! I might even finish this in time for the game launch next week?

Adventure game memories! These games felt "open world" to me, and it was exhilarating. ❤️‍🔥

I just want to put this out into the universe again. If you are a homebrew game dev of a system that runs on MiSTer (GB, NES,MD, etc) with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to include it in SuperStation’s Season 1 Homebrew DLC Pack. forms.gle/aAja7HEZQnga...

Happy 37th Birthday to Fujitsu's FM Towns, a computer that pushed the limits of what was possible in 1989. These are the two that I've restored - the UX Towns II in 2020, and the HG Tower in 2023, both for NEON Retrofest. 💿 #retrogaming

Still having some peripheral vision issues in one eye since mid last week, it's maybe improved a little and comes and goes, but it's been disruptive 😔 I was hoping I wouldn't have to increase my expenses with an optometrist visit, but I'm going to get it checked out.

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
