Just remembered this. I used it as a cautionary tale during a logo design project for one of my classes last year.

This is doubly relevant to my interests, and I have no idea what the connection might be. Looking forward to watching tonight, @alexjkane.bsky.social!

My favorite game on my first console. Didn’t know it had a commercial! The ad doesn’t convey the actual sense of fear the game had—incredible sound design given its system restraints. You couldn’t see what was ahead of you till you got there. Limited ammo. Survival horror, really.

I played Castlevania on the Sharp X68000 and “glorious” really undersells it. I didn’t know music from early ‘90s gaming could sound so good. I have no idea what its “bit” equivalent would be, but the graphics looked better than SNES to me. Wish I had had more time with it. So good.
1UPRestorations@1uprestorations.bsky.social · last wk.Today is the final day of @liretro.bsky.social - stop by to try out hundreds of retro consoles, arcades, and rare computers like this glorious Sharp X68000!
I’m used to seeing games I worked on at retro shows like @liretro.bsky.social — but the labor of love from the first five years of my career is a new one. That’s a stack of about 20 OPM (all issues I worked on), going from $10 to $30 each (depending if disc is included).
Prob don’t need to explain the joke with Arnie and Sly here but ET being at the top was intentional as it’s probably the most famous movie game but here it is elevated instead of *buried*. The Gremlin is in front because I love him
I have acquired 1000 pairs of Freddy’s Dead 3D glasses from 1991.

C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is a real headscratcher. I'm literally the target demo for this, I write movies for a living, and I have no idea what you would do with these. They weren't stories. The ideas behind them were incredibly thin. It's IP for the sake of IP & we keep seeing that fail.🤷 deadline.com/2026/07/atar...
Just heard about this. SDCC-exclusive editions of superhero games are something I've wanted to see for a LONG time. I hope this does well. (And I hope I can figure out a way to score one for myself...)

Next episode is looking at The Multipath Adventures of Superman with @cbake.bsky.social. Because it's as close as I can get to a tie in for the Supergirl movie. Anyway, anyone have thoughts to share about this game? Did you ever get to play it? Did you even know it existed?

Some #gamedev #indiegame context for you, I only really make 3-4$ per-sale of this after the platform and taxes take their cut. If I had a publisher the profit is a lot lower. All of which go into game updates, marketing, or development of the next project, and sometimes I get to pay my rent.

I know a lot of people don't understand Huttese, but if you sat down and translated the lyrics, you'd hear a shady deal go sideways in verse 2 of "The Droid." open.spotify.com/album/7uUlx3... I feel like I'm sending secret messages that nobody will ever read, but I love the challenge of doing it.
