Didn't reach 100 reviews before its birthday, but chances are we can get to 100 before end of 2024 😁

The Abandoned Planet on Steam A throw-back, retro-inspired, point and click adventure with chunky and beautiful pixel art

sure (and yes, for this game, they used a fixed scene UI - not my favorite, but absolutely not bad and it fits well the game tune) - you can find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/2014470/...

Today is the day to reveal the Mesektet store page! You'll find new information and a bunch of new screenshots from the game. 👇

By the way, this amazing cover wouldn't have been possible without @encomplotgames.bsky.social and @postmodernadv.bsky.social

ingame scene of The Abandoned Planet

I bought #DexterTeamGames #TheAbandonedPlanet as soon as it was released but I've had the chance to play it only these days - IMHO a great #pixelart #scifi game with gorgeous low-res graphics and animations - just a bit too puzzle-filled for my taste (even if everything is logical and in-theme)

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is a point & click urban thriller set in 1998 featuring a badass biker detective chasing a serial killer 🔪🩸

However, between the grisly stuff, you will also realign your chakra 🧘‍♀️

As always, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com has excellent advice.

I'm curious, on which console will you play Inspector Waffles Early Days?
#gbstudio #gbdev

thank you so much :)

thanks :-) - well, I'm old - and I've worked with pixels since I was a kid - but I think I'd still need ages to reach the quality levels I've seen around. I'm anyway happy about some of my latest works (at least for some aspects)

I'm a huge fan of Postmodern Adventures games and I've really liked An English Haunting. This game is rich in horror literature vibes&references and its early 1900 English setting (that includes having also Conan Doyle as a character) is cozy and well-designed

Everything is ready! I will be able to announce a release date very soon!

Remember that you can try the demo and that the game will be available on Steam, GOG and Itch.io. It will be available in English, German, French and Spanish with music by Michael Lückgen.

Let's have a look at the AGS game Cedric and the Revolution (2005) by @origamihero.bsky.social!

I'm impressed by the graphics, which remind me of a mix of Simon the Sorcerer and Sam & Max Hit the Road!

Since a game I loved, The Queen's Footsteps by Davide Bucci, was recently released under GPL 3.0 I had fun studying its code and making a conversion for StoryTllr64, my interactive fiction engine for the C64.

The last work (at least for now) I had planned for #NesterinTrail (#C64 text/gfx adventure game) was to release also a Win version, identical but for image colors (#StoryTllr will probably have also a Linux/Mac similar player) Added now on the same page: marcogiorgini.itch.io/nesterin-trail

Nesterin Trail [C64] by Marco Giorgini fantasy graphic text adventure for C64

Nesterin Trail (my #C64 graphic/text #adventure game) is now not only available on its official itchio page (marcogiorgini.itch.io/nesterin-trail) but also (as buildable storytllr source code) on GitHub github.com/MGProduction... (under a MIT licence) #8bit #interactivefiction #textadventuregame

30 of the best fantasy novels of all time Not all those who wander are lost

A really interesting list, and not the usual click bait. I think.

you too kind to me - but thanks :-)

My January, spent mostly in the remote Nesterin town, let me finish this #C64 text-graphic #adventure game in time to be featured in the latest ZZap64 Covermount Madness :-) - but of course, I'm too humble to brag about that :-D

I've discovered today that in Europe there's a problem with copyright laws that force authors to explict out-out if they don't want their work to be used for training in generative AI. That's so absurd that I can't even formulate how outraged I am about it. Do whatever you want, but go fuck yourself

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

This book has never been out of print and has been translated into 174 languages

Its narrative and characters have had widespread influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre

I was *really* curious to check how voice cloning worked with MY voice. I've tried several services and this one (HeyGen) and Descript seem to work well enough even with the free version and with less than a minute of voice recording as a sample.
