Yep, it's a totally separate thing. These derivative-looking games are getting funded and marketed because they sell, or at least, sell to demanded expectations.
This criticism fundamentally misunderstands who gets to decide what ideas get made, imo. I don’t think it is even remotely true that game devs now are drawing from a shallower well of inspiration
The team at CRG has worked very, very hard on this (I have been cheering them on and helping coordinate parts of development). A huge amount of time has been spent towards ensuring the game is faithfully reproduced with QoL updates and other awesome additions. Look forward to it!
I am very pleased to announce that Archipelago multiworld randomizer support has been added to Arzette! Many, many hours were spent getting this ready. This is a community made modification for owners of the game on Steam. Go here for details: bit.ly/ArzetteRando

Show's over, and what an excellent show it was! Got to meet so, so many Arzette fans in person which means the world to me (extra thanks to all who bought something!). My biggest thanks to the @liretro.bsky.social staff for being consistently amazing and inviting me. Until next time!
Hey friends, as a reminder I'm selling Arzette goodies at @liretro.bsky.social all weekend! I'm lucky enough to share a table with the venerable @jparish.bsky.social who is selling a few of his books. Come stop by the table just outside the amazing exhibit hall!

As a reminder, I'll be at @liretro.bsky.social this weekend! I'm lucky enough to be on two panels (Saturday w/ @retronauts.bsky.social & Sunday w/ @mylifeingaming.bsky.social) as well as in the marketplace selling Arzette stuff. Come say hello!

This one somehow slipped under my radar completely: a Java based remake/port of Zelda's Adventure. It even has randomizer support! Will definitely be checking it out later. github.com/nebbii/za-gdx

Myself and every person I work with professionally right now (including those who have been programming longer than I've been alive) refuse to touch AI with a ten foot pole. Maybe I am in a bubble. Speaking only for me, I will fight it tooth and nail.
Indie devs are in a tough spot: don't use AI, and watch everyone else ship games x5 faster than you or use it and be damned. I don't think there are many coders left that are not using AI agents for coding right now, it's just that effective (been coding games for 28 years, professionally for 20)

GG @timoflegend.bsky.social! My wife's primary hobby is pottery so this game is a delight to share with her.

Just wrapped up my first completely blind playthrough of @arzettegame.bsky.social. Incredibly charming, genuinely funny, and, more importantly than being an homage, it is unsurprisingly excellent. I loved every minute. Big congrats to @seth.games and the dev team. And a big hello from OBKY, Dopply!
The first game had one of the funniest original tracks I've ever heard from one of these simulator type games (and goes kinda hard ngl) youtu.be/OIs7Uq3Jehc
PC Building Simulator 2 is coming to PS5 + Xbox Series on February 26. Insert your own jokes here. (PC Building Sim blog post)

JAWS: Retro Edition from the Carbon Team is out and you get to check out the unreasonably good JAWS: Enhanced Edition as part of it! Jeremy and Patrick truly killed it. It's shockingly good!
Happy Jawsday to you all. Looks like the @limitedrungames.com digital version of Jaws: Retro Edition is up (someone even sent me a nice note about it!), so let me start your day by telling you that the Enhanced Edition included as part of the reissue kicks ass. (I'm biased, though; I designed it)
This release also marks our renewed focus on emulation quality. Special thanks to @kevarmstrong.bsky.social for his hard work in this regard. Cycle accurate NES on console is no joke! We also have an excellent new CRT filter we'll be using going forward.

A lot of you are picking up Arzette for the holidays, which means a lot more than I can properly articulate. I don’t take it for granted. If you’re playing it for the first time (or replaying it) I’d love to hear your thoughts. Happy holidays, everyone.
Seasons greetings from the Arzette team! Unwrap the game on sale for up to 75% off Arzette on select platforms this holiday season. Your support enables us to keep creating; we sincerely appreciate it. Have a very safe & happy holiday! PC: bit.ly/3ZSc4qQ SW: bit.ly/48od4Wl PS: bit.ly/49c9JLe

If you're in the area, I'll be around the LRG retail store tomorrow from 12:30 to 3 to hang out and sign copies of Arzette. There's a lot of other cool stuff going on too, so come say hi!
