We took the stage at Summer Game Fest today to unveil a world premiere for our upcoming game, Mina the Hollower. Leaning into Mina’s gothic horror roots, the top-down action adventure game is set to launch on 10/31/25. Play the demo NOW on Steam!

I enjoy both equally!
Sabin is such a meathead that he suplexes the train right back on onto the track. Pretty big blunder.

Peak RPG gameplay is getting to Y-flip giant boss sprites.

The *secret* feature of upscalers no one is telling you about:
Shrinking the game when your cat tries to block the tv a whole 30 minutes before their breakfast.

It is! A great action platformer released over here as “Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn”.

Anyone who says they don't remember the ending to Asteroids is a liar

I've finally found some information about Kei Furutsuki / ふるつき景, illustrator who worked on several Compile games in the late 80s. The bad news is that he died of liver cancer on 3 December 2010.

Just started Paranormasight and it sure does bolt out of the gate with the premise. Wasn’t expecting so much mechanic driven storytelling but looking forward to continuing.

A fun little arcade throwback how rough can it be? Oh no, oh nooo…

The download play multiplayer made this especially great. We regularly played big multiplayer matches during lunch breaks.

I’m glad it saw a release! Game was complete but in publisher purgatory, then the movie got pushed back a year. Was already mostly through my next project by then.

Batman Wii/DS had an animated promo featuring Batman with a Wii remote + nunchuck and Green Arrow at his DS. Which is quite great.

Four games I've worked on. Certainly learned a lot -- I'll keep at it.

Instruction manual text explaining how to transfer levels between systems with speakers and audio cables.

Another week and I am once again thinking about how Bangai-O on DS implemented level sharing on a system with wireless capabilities.

My wife recently got laid off and has been working hard to find work. If anyone has any leads, hit me up! 🙏

That's a great looking hunter/tracker motif! I only remember leveling Bard to 30 just to get a cross class ability on Machinist! Different times.

Found a fun bug in Baroque on PS2 and am now just trying to imagine a roguelike designed around this intentionally. Each hallway and room on the minimap making more of the game space viewable.

Sent one!
If they ever announce something like “Tera Raid Guild Wars” I’m out though.

Such great dungeon crawling experiences. Like The World Ends With You, so much of the execution felt crafted specifically for the DS (~3DS) platform. So I can’t help but wonder where they would go from Nexus.

Post a random game in your collection, here on Saturday.

Etrian Odyssey 3 sure did go above and beyond. Fun class refreshes and character build options on top of what already made the series great. The boat section is alright too.

I’m ready to add counters to an Umbral Calamity card.

Phew, finally beat the Shadow of Yim boss in Fantasian! Pretty tight fight with some good phases. Tan’s sweep and was more effective than I thought.

Let’s see if I can defeat Apple Arcade before the Switch release.

Fantastic series of videos and a real joy to watch! Tremendously good work to everyone involved.

Before submitting your ballot, it is recommended to save your progress to a new save file.

Upon Election Day, several cutscenes will play out in sequence.

Played this tons in our family. First just to get into fights, then only to get into shootouts, and then finally learned the main game is also really fun!
