Thanks all for reaching out to me, in public & privately. I'm doing well! I feel inspired to keep supporting creatives and eager to continue doing what I do in the way I want. @chetsucks.com made a video, and I think he's much better with words than I am. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQuN...

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

you know, sometimes you put a game up on itchio for ten bucks and someone buys it for a hundred bucks because they want you to have a little walking around money. imagine if you could do that on steam. imagine

In case you missed it, I recently launched a page of featured entries from the Video Game Soda Machine Project. I was thinking of it as a way for visitors to quickly get an idea of what the site is all about (i.e., video game soda machines).

I rescued a frog today 😌 They were in an outside drain, but with a little encouragement they hopped into a glass jar. Now safely relocated to the local creek / nature reserve.

Hi folks-- We're starting on our next indexing project, and we're building our volunteer team! If you have some degree of Japanese fluency and want to help index periodicals for VGHF, hit me up here

Thought I'd share this pack I made again of streamers, writers and content creators who talk about adventure games (modern and retro)! go.bsky.app/4BRUyDM

I just finished a patch for Tlon: A Misty Story: sonneveld.dev/tlon/ It's a 1999 point and click adventure game that's notorious for being incompletable due to a bug. There are save game hacks but this is a proper fix with correct exits and everything. Try it out and let me know how you go!

I watched the 1995 Ghost in the Shell anime yesterday (with English subtitles). Its cityscapes are beautiful yet worn and gritty, the story is obscured, and scary. It didn't disappoint.

When @pixelturkey.com was playing A Boy and His Blob for the NES I had the thought of what would happen if you had BeanBoozled jellybeans. In the Game Boy game, The Rescue of Princess Blobette, the blob can knock you off cliffs. Very rude. #MARU #DANKART

Dang, Endacopia up to almost 500 user reviews after less than a day. Almost all positive, too. Great to see an indie point-and-click adventure make such a strong debut.

Endacopia is out now on Steam! Are you prepared?

Please use this link twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... and tell twitch how fucking insane this is. Comment and let twitch know that this is horrible. Thank you

Holy moly. The publishers who passed on funding this (now out-of-production) Myst spinoff missed out on a slam dunk

The time-lapse of working on it looks a lot like when the DOS golf games she played would load the scenery.

A sketched the idea for this during @pixelturkey.com playing through her BIG GOLF stream and decided to paint it. #MARU #dankart #art

I miss the days of weird little desktop software toys, so I made this video about The Simpsons Screen Saver collection from 1994. My favorite is "Homer Eats," where Homer walks around your desktop eating icons. Watch here: youtu.be/yhq2Bym5kTY (If you enjoy it, a like or a share goes a long way!)

NEW VIDEO: "Oh haha, a game made by an insurance company called The Blobjob must just be a stupid little thing." Yes, but you have NO IDEA just how stupid this story gets. youtu.be/ENXeNGt7L9I

先週東京インディーズで『Super MIDI Pak Collab』とスーパーファミコンのドット絵の作り方と実装やオプティマイズについてプレゼンテーションを行いました！ プレゼンを公開したので、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします I talked Super MIDI Pak Collab and making pixel art graphics work on the SNES at Tokyo Indies last week! If you missed it, here are the slides (日本語)! docs.google.com/presentation...

You can tell me Bluesky is dead, irrelevant and actively hostile, but you have NO IDEA how many point & click adventure games I've played.

Transfer Point is now available! It’s a point-and-click adventure game about regret, forgiveness, and email. It was made in World Builder, a Mac app from 1986. You can play it free in your web browser. InvisiClues are available if you need a hint! robotspacer.software/transfer-poi... #MARCHintosh

Good fake ads are an important part of game design craft

Transfer Point will be available this Friday, March 27. You’ll be able to play it free in your browser at robotspacer.software. A downloadable version will be available for $5 on robotspacer.itch.io to play on your own classic Mac or emulator. The download includes a PDF of the illustrated manual.

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

Finally had a chance to spend more time painting today. Made some good progress! I might even finish this in time for the game launch next week?

Adventure game memories! These games felt "open world" to me, and it was exhilarating. ❤️‍🔥
