Yesterday I played a NES Batman prototype on stream and I very much liked the original cutscenes (which were then removed for the ones we're all familiar with).

Tim Burton-esque castle
Batman looking up at the tower
Strange looking Joker wondering why Batman is not answering

@damianogerli yes! I remember learning about this a while back and feeling like we got a downgrade in the final version

Can’t believe we’re getting a new Gobliiins game in a few days. Made in Adventure Game Studio too!

oh no, I guess Forest of Illusion suddenly shut down for good. What a sad day for games preservation

I'm 8 years late to this take but I'm not afraid to say it, Apple getting rid of the circle button was a mistake

Also now that I have a phone that was made this decade, I would appreciate any recommendations for games on ios that aren't heavy on microtransactions

@ChronRevisited I actually just subscribed to this because it looks like I get 3 months for free!

About 20 years ago I wrote "The Shoggath Chronicles" laying down the ground rules for a series of point and click adventure games that were supposed to take place in said universe.
The first chapter was Prin'Dolep for which I wrote the design bible and the full story. The game though was never developed, I designed a couple of rooms and characters.
Now the question is: should I add the unfinished game to Unseen64 or something like that or take up the idea and do it? Perhaps in Inkle?

@damianogerli I’d love to play an IF game by you

its funny to me that beneath a steel sky is still freeware because the way i wound up playing it was that it came free with, i think it was my soundblaster card

@eniko I just got the book about the history of the studio by its cofounder Tony Warriner (who is also on masto) and I’m excited to read it. I only completed it for the first time a couple years ago and liked it a lot

love when 1/4th of a game's screen is just taken up by the game's title and credits at all times

@ChronRevisited I'm watching video of it and it seems fine! It might actually be something I'll play. I just saw it now because I guess this version is getting rereleased on Steam soon

New games marketing strategy: placing classifieds in the local gardening newspaper/zine I’m a fan of

A classified describing Locally Sourced, the Michigan games collective I run

MichaelKlamerus,
@MichaelKlamerus@dosgame.club avatar

@ChronRevisited I’ll have to check that out. It’s a free classified section and the editor was cool with it so why not?

Frankie Goes to Hollywood is reuniting so if you want to be a hip streamer, drop that Fortnite and pick up their 1985 experimental adventure game

Well, pretty disheartening to hear that Itch is getting less friendly towards NSFW game creators. I assume it's because of banks and/or payment processors, since that always seems to be the case, but ugh. Some more communication would be nice

@lunarloony from looking at the discussion happening in their discord, I don’t think anyone is being kicked off but no one really knows because the communication coming from them has been so bad

MichaelKlamerus,
@MichaelKlamerus@dosgame.club avatar

@fasterthanlime @lunarloony that sucks but I’m not too surprised since they’ve done it to other places. Ughhhhhhh

Ma nouvelle autobiographique REPLAY est maintenant en librairie ! 📕🇫🇷

I'm thrilled to share my new graphic memoir REPLAY (in French bookstores now).

Today's blog post https://www.jordanmechner.com/books/replay/ explains how my family's 20th-century journey through two world wars is connected to my own history making Prince of Persia, Karateka🥋 and The Last Express🚂, and why I needed to spend 2 years writing and drawing this book. You can order, preorder or check out a free preview of REPLAY at my website.

@jmechner this looks fantastic. I’m looking forward to the English release next year

The Putt Putt Saves the Zoo soundtrack on Bandcamp comes with files to play the game in ScummVM with the higher quality soundtrack. My kids probably don’t even notice* but I’m absolutely losing my mind at the better audio and all I want to do now is find other games supported by ScummVM where I can do this

*however my 6 year old is apparently fascinated by ScummVMs shaders and how CRTs looked

Big day for me and Game Boy games. Just picked up these two games, one recommended by @taylormccue and the physical one designed by @taylormccue, so thank you for all you do for the platform haha

@taylormccue Don't apologize! I'm excited to have a physical copy of it and I'm happy it's selling well

My friends game lesbiants launched today was a paid game.

She poured her heart and soul into making a weird horny ant game that actually has a lot of heart.

Please consider playing it.

I expect the number of subscriptions to drop now that it’s so transparent who pays for it and how negative of a reception it has. Another brilliant move by Elon

lol whoops, took a look at Twitter and even being there for a couple minutes pissed me off. Cory Doctorow doing the whole "no ethical consumption under capitalism" meaning "I can spend money whatever way I want" sure was a fucking weird hill for him to die on
