I was so excited to see gochujang but I wasn't crazy about it! I guess I just like normal old spam musubi too much to mess with the flavor of the meat.

LFG!!

Added a free character sheet zip (featuring plenty of variants) to Jump! Solo's itch page! wonderwhimsy.itch.io/jumpsolo

Launching as an unknown creator: On discoverability on itch from nothing Hey everybody! I thought I'd write a launch post-mortem for my first game, Jump! Solo . I made the decision when I started working on TTRPGs that, even though I do have a following for digital games,....

Wrote a bit about launching a new game from zero on various socials:

itch.io/blog/1170909...

𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉: Normal, family friendly
𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒂𝒔 𝑻𝒊𝒇𝒂: ThAt'S PoRnOgRaPhY

it was not to be missed if you like sorta fantasy sorta sci fi games where there is an eldritch outer god in the sky, non euclidian fractal entities abound, and humans swooshing around fighting and slashing smooth-surfaced yet angular robots. because that was the aesthetic of almost every game

I just released my first TTRPG, Jump! Solo!
It's easy and breezy, very flexible, and full of tons of cute illustrations! And despite its (hopefully catchy) name also supports more than one player!

Donkey Kong Was Originally A Popeye Game Miyamoto says Nintendo's main monkey might not have existed Posted by Tom East on 25th Nov 2009 at 09:56 10 Donkey Kong is one of the most iconic games characters of all time but he may not have existed had Nintendo followed their original idea. In the latest 'Iwata Asks' interview, Shigeru Miyamoto admits that Donkey Kong was originally meant to be a Popeye game. "I sketched out a few ideas for games using Popeye," said Miyamoto. "At that point, Yokoi-san was good enough to bring these ideas to the President's attention and in the end one of the ideas received official approval. Yokoi-san thought that designers would become necessary members of development teams in order to make games in the future. And that's how Donkey Kong came about." "But originally it was going to be a Popeye game," Iwata continued. "That's right," Miyamoto responded. "But while I can't recall exactly why it was, we were unable to use Popeye in that title. It really felt like the ladder had been pulled out from under us, so to speak." "It was a really lucky break! So next we began to flesh out the idea for a game based on the concept we had come up with." Imagine a world without Donkey Kong. No Donkey Kong would mean no Jumpman. And without Jumpman we wouldn't have Mario! Tom East

jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie

let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours

Actually seeing environment move around you does so much compared to a static room that just has a slight earthquake effect and then a ding SFX!

Rando passerby here chiming in because I wanted to share its name for anyone interested.
"Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle"
A parody of the "damsel in distress" trope set in a generic fantasy RPG-styled world's final dungeon, where the princess is smarter than all the monsters. Pretty amusing.

Awww!! I'm so glad you like it ;w; Your design is super cute!! Thank you for sharing her!

@arkthepieking.bsky.social saw your Viera on the XIV reddit and I had to draw her... effervescent

A teaser image of a TTRPG that will be formally announced later depicting a hero with a cool sword and the image of a princess in the background. It evokes nostalgic video games from the 80s and 90s. The style is cute and chibi.

Almost ready to share something cool. Soon...

[...] and for a long time there's been ambient sentiment that basic JRPG gameplay isn't enough & must be zhuzhed up with action command combat. ATP I just roll my eyes when I see another RPG based on 00's Nintendo RPGs specfically. Like they were good but now I'm so burnt out on it

I cannot stand reductive statements and language made regarding, among other things, JRPGs and Visual Novels. I see so many veiled insults to the history of ADV games by the marketing of Western indies who started making VNs yesterday. "We're not JUST ANOTHER Visual Novel!" 🤪 [...]

It's just for laughs, I love Rm2k and Rm2k3:

@elstiko.bsky.social 👋Hey there! I'm making a game and wanted to put Winsome in my "Inspiration and shout-outs" section. I wanted to ask what your preferred name for attribution in this would be (e.g. perhaps "el Stiko" ?)

Thank you for your time and your wonderful games!
