Playing through Fields of Mistria made me realize that I need a city builder or slice of life game meets Soulblazer to play someday.
(1) I was going through some of my old books and I found this in an unofficial Nintendo guide from 1994 on the subject of having a rating system for games (the ESRB would be formed the same year) and it's wild to think about these opinions and where things are today.
I finished Cursed 1 and then went to Cursed 2 and it's definitely a step up in terms of design and difficulty. store.steampowered.com/app/1960630/...

Just saw one of the worst "we're using AI" descriptions on a steam store page: "and we believe we have the necessary rights to use it." I can't wait for the bubble to burst, as it seems like it's going to get worse for awhile.
today's #indiegamedev shoutout goes to Plan B Terraform by @gaddy.bsky.social that we checked out last year: youtube.com/shorts/nQDWz... and it's another great entry for any automation fans looking for an easier to play take

A thought that made me laugh, there are FPS fans out there who only play military shooters like Call of Duty. And then there's me who's going to end up playing: BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER BEFORE 4: DEMONS FROM THE PORTAL TO HELL I OPENED ARE STILL IN THE FAVELA AND NOW I HAVE TO SAVE MAMADAS FROM RONALDO
just started recording the script for a design video/rant on Marvel Midnight Suns, as there's so much I like about the game and so much that ended up frustrating me.
For any adventure #indiegamedev out there, is there one text parser adventure you would say is the best one to look at?
Another indie game we checked out was Robots at Midnight which seemed solid for anyone who isn't soulslike out just yet youtube.com/shorts/CP2yb...

I picked up the Zork collection off of GOG this week, and wondering if there's a streaming interest in watching someone type into a text parser to go on an adventure.
for my latest design video, we're going to advance adventure and puzzle design for a discussion of "layers", when the base game is just the lead-in for more puzzles, discovery, and mystery youtu.be/Lws76CBbKsU #indiegamedev
