Nintendo still had Super Mario 64 on the brain when they made Luigi's Mansion, didn't they? Explore a large building. Tons of locked doors. Paintings play a key role... oh and there's TOADS. EVERYWHERE. #LuigisMansion
MicalPixel@micalpixel.bsky.social · yesterdayThe last 4 games I played all had green-clad protags. 😅 Not intentional but kinda funny. And the last 1 game had interactions with spirits. 👻 Because pattern recognition is amusing and breaking streaks feels bad, I think this is the perfect time to finally play #LuigisMansion

I had a fun time playing though #SpiritTalk - a visual novel where you summon clients' deceased loved ones and help them through unfinished business/grief. It was nice to play through a lighthearted visual novel that didn't have world-endingly-high stakes for once. #indiegames #gaming

Talk enough trash and Palmer Luckey will follow you to Facebook and find your Nintendo 64 group

#HelensMysteriousCastle is a $2 game with a unique combat system. All items have a wait time, which you must gauge against your opponent's wait times to strike when they're vulnerable and defend when they attack. It's clever and forces you to stop and do math, er, think. #indiegames #gaming
Elric Murphy@epsilon017.bsky.social · 5mo agostore.steampowered.com/app/418190/H... Had this sitting in my library for a little while, finally decided to play it and... Holy shit, my expectations were blown out of the water! It's a short RPG with very simple rules, but the game mechanics were unlike anything I've seen before! Easy recommend
The tutorial area for my game is now in a finished playable state, and here it is, from beginning to end. It teaches most of the basic gameplay mechanics. And now has music and lots of sfx too. This is a major milestone for me and I'm very happy with it. ^^ #indiegame #cozygame #GameDev #MayGame
It's finally HERE! Our 🤖 mecha indie JRPG is set to launch on Kickstarter August 31st! We're so excited about this. ⬇️ You can start following the campaign below! ⬇️
How can you tell if there's still something to solve in a room? And what will happen once it's solved? Easy. A Puzzlegeist will be there. Draped over a door. Or a locked chest. Or just hanging out. Maybe your map will even show where they're still around. #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #MayGame

You might already know that AstralShift has a deep commitment to art and a total respect for human creativity. ✨🪽 For new and old fans alike, we want to share a glimpse of the labor and love that goes into the creation of a single animation cut! 🎥 Animation by Rosatrium ❤️🔥
This may be somewhat surprising, but I actually draw every INSECTILE in high resolution! The pixel-y effect is applied AFTER the creatures (and set pieces) in my game are fully drawn for an extra cute retro punch!
Just one week left until Fields of Mistria 1.0 ✨
The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
Just found this website and account that beats a drum I have before: @polishourprices.pl polishourprices.pl/for_publishers If you use default pricing tools on Steam, you're probably screwing over Poland. In almost anything that involves converting currency, Poland gets hosed. Stop screwing Poland.

Got surprised by a very neat design trick in Wild Frost (a deck builder) : I arrive in a shop with 48 coins. There's a card I really want that is 49 coins. I go "Nooooo!!" and start clicking frantically on it. After clicking 5 - 6 times, the merchant goes "Ok you can have it". 😮 Brilliant.

Aaaand #Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is now done too! IMO it's best to play Ages first. You get a heartfelt resolution to some Ages backstory in Seasons and it's nice to see. With Seasons first...the "crossover" subplot feels sorta tacked on. It's fine but...eh. Regardless, both are great games! ❤️
MicalPixel@micalpixel.bsky.social · 2w agoFinished #Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Next, Seasons! Amazing, beautiful, colorful game. ❤️ Fun fact: Hidemaro Fujibayashi directed this and 3 other Game Boy Zelda games while working at Capcom under Nintendo's supervision. Then he switched to work for Nintendo. He's the director for BOTW and TOTK too.
