I can't play any new games from the NextFest when I'm still catching up with my backlog of every game ever made chronologically. I'm up to this little underground game called FFIX for PS1.
How come no one told me this was so dang charming?

Godot 4.5, making dreams accessible – Godot Engine From mind-blowing effects now made possible by the stencil buffer to accessible descriptions of your GUI elements that opens up the possibility for people with disabilities to play your game — we are ...

Every time there's a new Godot release I think that's cool, but I don't need to upgrade - I've got everything I could need.
Then I look through the new features and very quickly think ooh yes I could use that.
It's a dangerous game.

I just looked for it and within 5 seconds of skimming through gameplay I heard the noise haha

haha it's iconic! And since revisiting a lot of games from 90s/00s I'm hearing that sound everywhere

Recently been working on some screen and particle effects! Does anyone recognise that swoosh sound?

Let me show you a very special prop from our game, and walk you through how it was made (please don't tell others my secret technique)

I've been doing some baking in Blender

I am currently looking for more playtesters for the next playtest round of the Engraving Demo!

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking?
Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think?

Music for this boring-ass N64 game has no right to be this funky fresh.

Which for me is about once a week when I fat finger the file explorer and move a folder into another folder and have no idea where it went

I searched for "frog with gun" on Temu and discovered this cool new character. When is he coming to Fortnite??

GDQuest is great, that's what I got started with. The paid classes are well worth it.

If you want the TLDR, I had memories of playing fun games from this CD as a kid, but now I've revisited I don't know what I was on about. Out of the 748 games there is only one worth playing.
Indie's Desktop Adventures.

I've played so many 90s shareware indie games now, my mind has been truly warped and I don't know what is "good" or "bad" any more.
At some point I'll probably write something longer about this arduous and pointless journey.

#775GamesForWindows 748: "Volutare 3D" - Bela Von Hoffman
I've got an important update. The game? It's about flipping cubes, it's not good, who cares. All this time I've been saying I was reviewing 775 games, but somehow I miscalculated and there's only 748. This is how it ends.

#775GamesForWindows 747: "Stellar Explorer" - TCI Corporation
I've played so many of these 90s spaceship OS simulators now, and they're almost all the same. The difference with this one is they take away weapons in the shareware version so it's unwinnable.

#775GamesForWindows 746: "TC Space Fighter" - Anthony Carin
I'll never know what this is because opening it immediately locks up the system. Another thumbnail-sized game, I'm sure it was great.

#775GamesForWindows 745: "Sky Maze" - AxySoft
Play as a little yellow guy collecting all the little yellow bits on a level and avoid the various bad guys running aimlessly around. There are powerups that let you kill the baddies for a short time. So it's Russian 3D Pac-Man.

#775GamesForWindows 744: "Shuffle Board 3D" - Walter A. Kuhn
Never tried shuffle board in real life, but I'm not good at this at all. Is it normal rules that if your puck is in a scoring zone but has one pixel over the boundary, it's worth 0 points??

#775GamesForWindows 743: "Pong 3D" - Jesse Johnson
Yep it's pong. You could argue it's 3D. Love the MS Paint art. The computer isn't very good at its own game, but I still think it's pretty fun.

#775GamesForWindows 742: "TC Virtual Ping Pong" - Anthony Carin
The worst case of "game for ants" yet. Had to blow up the screenshot because it plays at 256x256, of course resizing windows is a feature only for registered players. It's too small to even know if it's fun.

#775GamesForWindows 741: "NanoCore" - Paul Keet
Hey, this game is actually delivers on being 3D. It's basically a themed BreakOut in 3D space, which is cool and all but honestly it's hard to judge depth, making it worse play.

#775GamesForWindows 740: "Master of the Maze" - Spice Software
I think this was meant to be a very funny joke. That's the map under the compass. That layout means that every direction you face looks identical. There are no exits to this maze, this is shareware purgatory.

#775GamesForWindows 739: "Magic Balls" - Agentix Software
It's a match 3 game. One with a design flaw. You can only make moves on highlighted balls, and there is nothing that ever shuffles or moves the board down. This means you just go through the moves and then it's game over.

#775GamesForWindows 738: "Lunar Basketball" - P.S. Neeley
A game about shooting hoops on different planets with different gravities. Kind of a fun idea but it actually sucks and plays horribly.

#775GamesForWindows 737: "Lost in a Labyrinth" - Zane Rathwick
Looks like it might have been cool if it actually worked.

I use Dialogue Manager and you can do a lot with it. From what I gather writing in it is very similar to Ink.

#775GamesForWindows 736: "Kenopro" - Dennis Pipes
It's literally a lotto simulator. Why? Why? Why? Why was this made? Why is it included in a CD sold to kids? Why is it in the 3D category?

#775GamesForWindows 735: "Ghost Cemetery" - Albert C. Ashton
This is my final straw with Albert. I don't know how many reskins of his same shooting gallery game I've seen now. They feebly tried to justify that it's in the 3D category because the church is drawn with perspective.
