All my projects: GEAR-SHIFT, Cycle of Violence, and the LISA x Undertale mod are currently on pause until I'm done with this, more info under the cut
"RPG Maker lets you create games without knowing how to program!" is both technically a true statement and a trap.
beta server stress test going on so we are now the beatles
Since tlou part 3 has been announced this is a reminder that neil druckmann is a massive zionist, and this isnt even something you can say “oh but we can seperate art from the artist!11!!!!” Bec he has talked about how the narrative and story of part 2 was inspired by his need to “get revenge” on palestinians. He actively donates to the IOF and buying his games is funding genocide. If i see it on my dash im blocking you.
I mean this is a game in which ellie’s notable line is “i’m going to find and kill every last one of them” which. Yeah. But in case you needed any more incentive:
Games for Gaza is a collection of 256 games on itchio, which you can grab for only TEN DOLLARS, with all profits going toward Medical Aid for Palestinians. these are the 10 games I'll probably play myself:
- Neurocracy 2049 is a mystery game, in which you solve a murder by sifting through an in-game 'wikipedia' for clues
2. Multiplicity is a short cosmic horror game, with a retro aesthetic and interesting art direction
3. Slasher U is a horror-comedy dating sim with 18+ content and very fun visuals
4. Mysteries Under Lake Ophelia is a fishing sim that looks rather peaceful.... but is it? there might be something unsettling, waiting to be found beneath the water
5. The Corridor is a short meta game about the experience of playing games. more specifically, about the experience of walking down a corridor. what does that mean? I don't know.
6. Nuts is an eerie narrative game about.......watching squirrels?! and it doesn't disappoint, there are a large number of squirrels. the world you can walk through looks gorgeous, with stylized surreal colours.
7. Brassica - A Marry Tale is a gay dating sim with a charming art style
8. Orchids to Dusk is a short wandering game about an astronaut on an alien planet with only a few minutes left to live
9. Extreme MeatPunks Forever is a hybrid visual novel/ brawling sim, following the lives of a handful of gay mech pilots
10. Evolution is a game where you build lifeforms, and help them evolve to perform tasks
and that's just 10 out of 256! there's plenty to appreciate, so check out the bundle yourself
Resolve to unused video game characters
it really isnt fair to Endless Ocean Blue World to never grace the light of day again. Endless Ocean could do so much on these consoles. I miss them. Where else would I have a video game about being a diver where the plot included dracula vampires, sort-of-atlantis, forgotten amazonian submerged jungle ruins, aliens, and dragons
someone else knows this game?! I was just thinking yesterday how much I missed this game. Though. I must confess I don’t recall the vampires or aliens.
You salvage up UFO parts and the Valka Castle portion is extremely heavily implied to be Vlad Dracula's castle and the spooky black manta ray you find in the throne room after you escape the megalodon god of death is named Phantom

My favourite was a note from Toady as he was developing Jumping, where due to a math(?) error he jumped, rocketed forwards at 30mph, hit a cliff and instagibbed.

A history of the names by which the Donkey Kong-themed puzzle game “Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers” by Rare went throughout development:
Top: in 2000, the game was conceptualized and called “Animal Crackers for Gameboy Advance”. The Donkey Kong theme was not decided upon yet.
Middle left: later in 2000, the Donkey Kong theme was authorized and the game was renamed to “Donkey Kong Puzzle Paint”.
Middle right: in 2001, it was renamed to “Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers”. In this form, it was shown at E3 2001 to the public. Due to the purchase of Rare by Microsoft in 2002, development was halted for several years and the license to use Donkey Kong was lost.
Bottom: finally, in 2004, the game was finished without a Donkey Kong theme and released as “It’s Mr. Pants”.
