Games went astray when they stopped giving every room or screen a name and showing that name at the top of the screen.

To celebrate the rerelease I'm going to post some videos from early development! This is the earliest recorded footage with just the controls / movement idea for mobile
rare progress post about my engine Sugar: I've been adding a bunch of control characters you can use in strings to get visual effects, like changing the color, the font, or shaking part of the text etc... the whole text on this gif is one single print call!

Good weekend all, I’m trying to compile a list of (short, like SHORT short) first person/3D art games, ideally with land art or megaliths or otherwise cool landscape stuff. Any and all suggestions very welcome.

Shareware game Mega Peril Snake (1996) by Digital Sheep/Beau Chesluk (a programmer on Perfect Dark (2000)). Features distinctive burp/belch sound effects when eating the animated abstract shapes, and a child's voice saying "have a good day!" when you exit. On "Galaxy of Games: Arcade Action" CD
