I still find it quite satisfying when some #gamedev question can be solved with a few more lines of script that quite nicely capture the way I have thought about the solution. That is GobScript. Would you like to have it for your own game ?

Been reading something like "do not put your energy in hating/fighting X. Instead, put your energy into supporting what you want of see growing instead of X". So here's some energy for blue skies.

I learnt not long ago that the author of "Tower of Druaga" already had lots of hidden secrets in his first work. sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2026/02/la-s... ToD has inspired Zelda. If I ever write something about that game, I'd love having something as cute as Shawn's art to illustrate my post ^_^

Druaga sprites

Pixel art character sprites of Gil and Ki from Tower of Druaga, facing to the left. Gil is holding a sword in front of him, while Ki is holding the blue rod to her chest. They are on a grey background.

I've always made them because I thought I'd love to play them. And I love making them, too. When I find a game I love playing, I wish so strongly I could sit with the developer and talk with them about what they loved making their game, and then what I love making mine. That's why I don't want AI.

I've been spending my evening on a blog-to-static page converter lately ... here's what the output looks like: pypebros.codeberg.page/geds/attach_... and here's me musing about it on my blog :P sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2026/07/its-...

We've been playing Commander Keen 4 and 5 almost exhaustively with my brother. Or at least with thought we did, since he commented my tale of the Armageddon Machine level sounded completely new to him. Thing is: we were playing in easy mode. Were there more level maps I could compare and analyse ? Oh yeah. And even better, the maps show levels as they are in the editor. There, you can see for the same level, the amount of enemies you get in easy / normal /hard modes changes quite significantly. From 6 to 17 dash-when-spot-you "Sparkies", from 3 to 9 zooms-along-poles Ampton, and some invulnerable SliceStars including one you'll have to avoid while passing a set of blue "firewall" beams. The maps and the route may be the same, but the story you unroll while playing definitely won't.-->
