(Re-uploaded with improved video quality and an error fixed.) Here's the spiral staircase scene from Ys III: Wanderers from Ys across the different versions of the game. For some reason, this scene isn't included in the Famicom and PS2 releases. #Falcom #Ys

Did you know many previously untranslated retro games received first-time official English releases on modern platforms? I've created a little site with a list of 60+ newly translated ports/remakes: sites.google.com/view/retro-g... This list (& thread) will be updated over time.

And our last title? With an alien princess you say? Coming back after being gone for a long time is... Outlanders!

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

Crusader of Centy is one of the top tier Zelda-like action adventure games. I fell in love with it immediately after a friend introduced it to me, and I think about the ending often. Banger soundtrack all around, and the smoothest character rotation in any game. Highly recommended. Play it!

Samurai Pizza Cats! Coming to Blu-ray from gorgeously remastered film & recreated titling. The Japanese version subbed will come later. You thought another company had it? Great timing for their convention banner that isn't for Blu-rays kept this one secret.

Don't be a hero. Experience the love. Experience moon. Steeped in story and character, mood and music, #moon_rpg is available now for 30% OFF. Get it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1714580/... or Nintendo Switch: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

On top of him being another Captain Planet villain, I do find it funny that with all that money to throw around, he couldn't find a proper industrial designer. Look at it. Is that a clown nose for a power switch? a Tonka toy? His Gameboy also looks fucked. Get a Pocket or MiSTer. Additionally

Thinking about this illustration again. I went for a King Charles for the girl since I was thinking about our old housemate's dog at the time. She was the best. Also the girl in the reference poster (in the original post replies) kinda made me think of one too. Bonus video:

I illustrated a poster for a party a friend has been running at a few furry conventions for quite a while now. It's a party themed after all things communism. At BLFC this year it was Cosmonauts in space, for the upcoming Paw Con it's Eastern Germany.

All money, minus processing fees for itch, goes to out of work game developers to pay for food, housing, healthcare, and whatever they need to make it through. Neither we as the organizers nor UVW take any of the money from the bundle. Game developers can apply here: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...

I stayed up until 4am looking into a music blog discussing Jazz Fusion primarily from the 1970s and some light prog rock...

Hello, Big Mac.

As a solo dev it's an opportunity to grow. If you wanted to be a solo dev then show some real dedication to it or don't even bother wasting everyone's time with "AI" garbage. The thing tech keeps calling AI is nothing more than a pathetically flawed, sycophantic enfeeblement device. LEARN SOMETHING!

"But as a solo dev--" You must learn the power of your own limitations. If your art is crap, either get better at art, figure out a way to make its crappiness look intentional, or ask for help.

I feel like another Nathan Barley rewatch is approaching.

A friend recommended this game to me around a year or two ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The music and atmosphere was perfect. The progression felt great, and the main character has a very memorable design. Excellent exploration platformer. Happy Birthday, Pseudoregalia!

Max@hyynma.bsky.social · last wk.

Damn it's Pseudoregalia's 3rd birthday today! I have a lot I could say about this game. Working on it, the reception, the metric ton of fan art, and the games/demos that have come out inspired by the game. The most important thing is that I'm really grateful to everyone, this game changed my life!

Whoa! If you don’t have a Playdate console, you should give this a try. It’s basically the fossil hunting mini game from diamond and pearl but with some spooky twists

Surprise! A Dig Dig Dino! demo is live on Steam! As part of this cool Monochropoly event! Everyone can play the first dig site now, full release later this year! 🦖

Hello, Big Mac.

Dreams are windows into the mind and soul. Into the heart of one's very being. Sometimes, however, they can open a doorway into something more. Step forward, beyond imagination, beyond the intrinsic grey. Wander in the Hyper World!

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc
