Forgotten Horror: How early tabletop gaming in Japan led to a forgotten Lovecraftian game series
YouTube video by F_T_B Forgotten Horror: How early tabletop gaming in Japan led to a forgotten Lovecraftian game series

New video is up. This one took a while due to the release schedule and difficulty of the first game being higher than expected. It's about Hitoshi Yasuda and the Ghost Hunter trilogy, as well as the various behind the scenes weirdness that caused it to be forgotten.

The Story of the Takeru Vending Machine: Digital Delivery Decades Before Steam
YouTube video by F_T_B The Story of the Takeru Vending Machine: Digital Delivery Decades Before Steam

I missed this when it came out, but @ftb1979.bsky.social made an amazing deep dive video into the Takeru Vending Machines:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1_J...

These were ATM-like machines that would download & record games on disk in the 1980s/1990s. Really interesting piece of history!

Recettear is featured in the CRPG Book because of the work Andrew Dice & Carpe Fulgur did - they were pioneers in bringing Japanese games to Steam, way back in 2010. Many Japanese developers only took interest in Steam after seeing a doujin game like Recettear selling over 300k units.

Rest in Peace

The Kirkbride part is so interesting. Not new things, but it's fun to hear him talk about using Redguard's manual to set the world he wanted to explore in Morrowind, and the process of making TES lore be more like conflicting points of view.

Also nice to see Ken Rolston is alive & well!

Wizardry clean artwork by Jun Suemi featured on LOGIN Magazine, February 1986. Image depicts a small city street with some archways, flags, a tall window with a ladder next to it, and what I believe to be some shops. There's a man walking down the street staring at a person seated on the left side. Some more people can be seen standing in different spots throughout the street.

The artwork of #Wizardry by Jun Suemi featured on LOGIN Magazine, February 1986. Usual upscale/clean/retouch combo applied. A shoutout to @tadashidaiba.bsky.social for curating and sharing these and also all those involved in the scanning process. It goes a long way to get results like this!

Strategy Game Battle UI I was doing research on trends in the Strategy Game UI styles. And you can see a clear pattern that starts with simple left or right bar…

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate

They say Rome wasn't built in a day - or was it? 🤔 We sat down for a chat with some of Total War: ROME's original devs to find out!
