Nice one. Highlight the ending frame. I forgot why this game was really so horrifying.

Deep Pixel Melancholy on Steam Deep Pixel Melancholy is a visual novel about being stuck in a time loop inside a gray, soulless city. Unravel the mystery, and decide whether escaping is really worth it.

This looks worth checking out #DeepPixelMelancholy and another narrative adventure game with more serious vibes. Came across on a Blender channel. For a while and still am wanting to get back into similar workflows for pixel art with help of Blender. store.steampowered.com/app/3694190/...

I need to play either of them yet. Assuming theyโ€™ll be right up my alley though.

Great review. So often I was mesmerized just watching the charactersโ€™ mouths move. Overall you get a sense of so much emotion, atmosphere, etc. despite the limited detail

Speaking as someone who tested the Drifter before release and has followed the game throughout its development, I highly recommend everyone buys and plays this passion project by @dave.powerhoof.com and team. itโ€™s a unique adventure that will have you on edge. The gameplay and art are supercharged!

Forgot to mention this game features some cool retro music and sound pack by @megahammerstudios.bsky.social โ€ฆ i think I successfully utilized all the slower paced stuff suitable for an adventure game โ€ฆunless I add a space invaders mini game or something ๐Ÿ˜„

Outside game development, I enjoy using Python and have a lot web development experience. Not much Godot experience yet but GDScript is nice for the similarities. I still have never used C++ .. maybe something with that or unreal someday.

Rust interests me just because Iโ€™m a Neil Young fan! I might checkout Bevy sometime just to get a feel for it. Curious if people have other thoughts on whatโ€™s worth diving into these days.

05.07.2025 20:02 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The #Popochui plugin for Godot is another fine choice. What I like about both of these tools is the scripting focus and extensibly with their engines. For the time investment, itโ€™s good to get some transferable knowledge as well as flexibility to do more with it when youโ€™re ready.

For adventure game curious, I canโ€™t recommend #PowerQuest enough for both the engine and the small community led by @dave.powerhoof.com Although I had neither experience in Unity or C#, it was easy to use as a pane of glass over Unity.

Mervin Pissaro and the Martian Menticide by Succulent Bacon Part I of a short adventure game comedy

Happy #PointNClickFriday and thanks for hosting!

I just updated a free game I made a couple years ago. This one is in the style of 9 verb games by LucasArts. There are a couple of nods to Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Hope you play and enjoy it!
