@guenther yes, guess you can say so. I don't know about all its (social) features, as I am not someone using it myself, but I get frequently passed Loom vids. Often used for giving feedback, where seeing the speaker in the circle is major part of the experience.
A funny bug in LOOM EGA on DOSbox: If you skip past the cutscene where Chaos is stealing the Great Scythe right during that one particular shot, the body of the dead Glassmaker on the right disappears before the screen blanks out. #loom#lucasarts#adventuregames
My town has a @fiberarts thrift store that sells donated supplies and equipment as a charity. It’s across the street from my office!
This week they had an #inkle#loom that is now mine. And indeed, it works as intended! #weaving
@flicka@fiberarts I do a whole lot of band weaving, but mainly on other kinds of looms. It’s good to have an inkle so I can show/explain, since they’re so popular.
From the game files of LOOM EGA V1.1, revision 3937, March 29, 1990: a text string that may record how the drafts were coded as variables, plus a marker for drafts you've tried out, which the game tracks.
This text string is not included in version 1.0, nor is it found in the version included in the Classic Adventures collection. #loom#lucasarts#adventuregames
Just noticed that this early screenshot of LOOM from French magazine Génération 4 #13 (summer 1989) has a bit of background on the right side of the screen that was later trimmed out. #loom#lucasarts#adventuregames
Ok Lucasfilm, at this point I'm starting to think that you're just rubbing it in. People have been asking for that audio drama prologue (not to mention the arguably superior EGA version) to be included with the digital releases of Loom for years now, to no avail. Even though the manual tells you to listen to it!
I mean, it's very on brand for them, but it is still disappointing.
