PSA : I've been made aware that at the end of the tutorial, pushing the shelf twice will cause a soft lock. I'll be looking into a way to fix this, but I am wary of breaking people's saves by updating with rpgmaker MV. If you know more about the subject of updating with the engine please reach out!

having played this several times during development i would rate sealed fortress as the most sraekacore indie rpg i have played. it strikes that perfect balance where combat stays engaging and rewarding the whole game through

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

ok be real with me. how hard are the rs2 snes text boxes to read. They're like very low contrast, and I'm considering adding a second patch to increase contrast via either changing the background color or the text outline color

my unironic life advice for everyone is to go to an art museum once in a while because i think being in an environment that encourages you to really *see* something is good for you

i wish some of these folks doing budget open world RPGs would look at daggerfall, dragon's dogma, outward. there are just so many fascinating things to explore. socially seated knowledge and guilds, the (in daggerfall, generated) towns you actually learn and care about,
