I just played through the remaster of the first Midnight Scenes (by @whiteblanketgames.bsky.social) and oh my GOD. That was so good!! The new scenes spooked me and the new art in them and other extended scenes was *chef's kiss*. Also, the new puzzle solutions were pretty clever!
The first Midnight Scenes from 2017 felt a little bare bones compared to the following ones, so we just released a free update with many improvements! It's time to drive back to that creepy old road! #pointandclick #adventuregames
White Blanket Games@whiteblanketgames.bsky.social · 3w agoFRESH NEWS!🧋 Midnight Scenes: The Highway - Remaster, available now! A free update packed with new content, improved visuals, achievements, and much more! 💀 👉Steam: bit.ly/4nNVh2D 👉GOG: bit.ly/48E4g27 👉Itchio: bit.ly/4mEmi7I (Help us spread the word!😊) #TheHighway #horror #indiegame #remaster
Finished the most vilified Life is Strange game, Double Exposure, and I loved it! For some reason, Deck Nine's LiS games resonate with me much more than Don't Nod's, which I think is not a generalized opinion.
The Remaster Update is very VERY near...😀 #MidnightScenes #TheHighway #indiegame

I don’t know who I’ve stolen this from, but the words are etched on my soul: The terrible thing about making a game is that you have to make all of it.
Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

When I played FF7 as a kid I never got far, so I always thought the story ended when you escaped Midgar. Now that I'm playing it as an adult I realize that Midgar is... just the tutorial?
RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

Oh no, Xbox is shutting down Double Fine? :( I was never a big fan of their games, but I liked seeing a medium-sized studio still exploring crazy concepts. Fuck Microsoft.
All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.
It's not news that Xbox seems to have no idea what it's doing in its big "reset," but talking about axing a studio it was praising just weeks ago for doing the very thing the company seems to claim it wants is... well, basically what we've come to expect

Speaking of DOS Game Club: we're currently putting together an episode on pool & snooker games for MS-DOS and could really use an expert or enthusiast. Are you into pool & snooker for DOS and would love to talk to us about it? Please reach out to me!

Relevant: we make free narrative tools for multiple engines, and we don't use any genAI whatsoever--not for coding, not for writing, not for anything. When it comes to middleware that people build their art + livelihoods upon, quality (and labour solidarity) matters. yarnspinner.dev/blog/why-we-...
Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner
We get asked about AI a lot. Whether we’re going to add it to Yarn Spinner, whether we use it ourselves, what we think about it. Fair questions. Time to write it all down. Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the...
