THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
📆 ON THIS DAY in 2006 • 20 years ago! 😮 @8bitpeoples.bsky.social releases Information Chase, 6 mp3s of chiptune powerpop. It's since come out on CD & vinyl, & I've performed its songs to audiences who have loudly sung along, despite there being no words. What could be more heartwarming than that? 🙏
Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.
After four years, I can finally tell you all… Embers of Mana is out now! ⚔️ Download the game here: www.romhacking.net/hacks/9447/

Four of us talk about different parts of the game while showing bts in Unreal!
Rom hacker @okimpala.bsky.social will soon be releasing a brand new Mana adventure built off Final Fantasy Adventure. Their previous NES hack "Zelda II - Amida's Curse" is an all-time great in my book.
It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.
Keeper was nominated for an Annie Award! We are up for Best Character Animation - Video Game. This is a huge honor! Incredibly humbled and thankful. This has been taking a while to even process, crazy!! 🫠
Congrats @leepetty.bsky.social and the rest of the team! 🎉🎉🎉

Keeper is a uniquely fun project to support. Having played and captured the entire game several times over, the noir update was still surprisingly compelling. The vibe changed enough to require another full capture to understand how different compositions felt in monochrome.
New Keeper features!
Protip: Turn on High Contrast Mode at the start of your playthrough, then toggle it off with LB in-game. Anytime you're unsure what to do, toggle it on to see what's important in the scene. You can do this in Noir Mode too.
New Game + is New Game - now! Black and White in HDR is my jam!
Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES!
Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable.
I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here:

Last call - we are only short on N64, GBA, and MD/Genesis.
If you're a fan of Max Ernst, Krull, and the Brothers Quay you should watch this!
Get in there! They're live now~
Twig knows your screen is made of fragile materials, so now she's gonna peck at it until it shatters the barrier between her world and yours. She'd really like you to watch this launch trailer for KEEPER once the glass breaks. Sorry about any cracked realities or damage to the veils between worlds.
Hey all, if you haven't checked it out yet, the game I composed music for, Keeper by Double Fine Productions, is available now for PC and Xbox. This was the best experience I have ever had writing music for a game. I hope you enjoy the beautiful poetry of this game.
Almost definitely
Keeper is out now!
The challenge was finding a balance in what to show without spoiling the mysterious journey. The trailer for "28 Years Later" was a strong influence, and "Top Gun: Maverick" for different reasons that I promise make plenty of sense.
T minus 20 minutes till Keeper launches alongside a new trailer we produced internally. Keeper is gorgeous, and the new trailer came together easily; practically every shot is default camera gameplay/cutscene (only two shots got reframed with a detached cam). www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDmv...
A Note about KEEPER Spoilers:
On our end, we promise we won't be posting spoilers on main until way post-launch (and even then, we'll do our best to give you all some time to play through the game and let it marinate).
How can you help maintain the mysteries of KEEPER? Glad you asked! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Countdown to the KEEPER Launch Trailer is up on our YouTube channel if you want to get a tab ready (and there are some lovely in-game vistas you can enjoy while you wait)!
The trailer and the game go live tomorrow morning (Oct 17) at 8am PT!
