It's really interesting how the vast majority of videogames that attempt to perform any kind of political, or cultural critique are satires. At least once they get any kind of meaningful development budget.
A red flame in Barad-dûr, based on the conversation in the most recent shelved by genre episode. I wanted the city to look both industrial and unsettling, so I tried to use a real mix of building styles, and avoid too many curves/natural shapes.
This one page rpg by @mokkograd.net is so funny. Please go read it. (Particularly relevant for anyone listening along with shelved by genre) mokka.itch.io/a-wizard-wit...

Got a really nice comment over the weekend that "My ebook is littered with highlights because I kept finding bits that I needed to show to my partner because they were so upsetting or funny or hot." So if you're also a resident of the upsetting/funny/hot nexus, give it a peek...

I think something that's overlooked with convoluted and maze-like level design is that there are about as annoying to build as they are to navigate. So in that sense, both player and designer, suffer in equal measure.
Noticed that the one negative review for GB Rober, where it was very obvious that person has only played the intro and then chose to rant about it, was removed. I assume it was because they saw my excellent guide on how to "win" the intro and realized the error of their ways.
Playing Live A Live makes me want to make a similar game like it at some point, but the question is: If I were to make a genre specific JRPG, what type of genre would I pick? My first impulse was "Murder Mystery", but I'm not sure.
