I started a new sketchbook this week, I think it will be nice to post it page by page as a thread.

@vga256 Thank you! Yeah, just taking ideas in my head and putting them down on a page, seeing what works and what doesn't. It's a wonderful way to work.

@vga256 Oh yeah I love the feel & look of Blackthorne in general. Lazer platforms + a castle? YES

@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 Yeah, that shot feels a bit Another Worldy actually. In a good way.

Randomly laying in bed and remembered this wonderful coverdisc. My school had a copy of it in the library that we all borrowed. Those were happy days. :)

@vga256 it's kind of incredible that they managed to make it happen. Impossible to imagine this sort of thing happening today.

@vga256 I'm not sure, tbh! But I rarely got PC Gamer, I could only afford one magazine per month, and the Australian one always took priority.

@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 Paying for a premium product! No doubt you also had “dad magazines”, which were more focused on productivity, hardware and general home computing than games. I just checked, and APC is still going - they’ve been in business since 1980. Wow.

@vga256 It grieves me to confess that you have gotten me re-addicted to Snood.

@vga256 I find medium difficulty impressive in that it tricks me into growing complacent, not trying too hard and then suddenly I'm screwed. Which is a good difficulty curve IMO

Do you like MS-DOS games? Are you somehow able to tolerate female Australian accents?
Well, do I have the video for you!

@emmxyzzy What a great compilation - so nice to see DOS games that I haven’t played being talked about! I love all the usual classics but I feel like we’ve all discussed those plenty by now. Some of these look really fun. Ducks in particular is interesting to me - it seems to be a kind of tribute/answer to Chickens, but also I notice it’s made by the same guy who made Out of Order which I remember enjoying very much about 20 years ago!

@emmxyzzy Yeah, I remember Sludge seeming really impressive back then - sad that it never really caught on. AGS probably owes a huge amount of its popularity to the strength of its community, which at that time was SUPER vibrant. That and the fact that it’s still being updated to this day (and we still make and release games with it regularly).

@dosnostalgic @emmxyzzy iirc there were some development features that were planned to be added but never ended up happening? I know I was eyeing it off for ages to see where it would end up before I settled for AGS.

I wonder if there's any frogs around

ThreeOhFour,
@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 These are little frogs, they usually hide under rocks or in the undergrowth. There are invasive toads in Australia, but they haven’t made their way here yet, thankfully!

I got these flowers for my grandma on her 90th birthday, she immediately started playing hide and seek with them as soon as I handed them to her, so if you ever wonder where I get my childlike nonsense from....

Also today I was opening a can of baked beans, and I recall a friend from IRC chat telling me that beans on toast is a wonderful meal, beans on toast with cheese is a feast, and I had a very intense moment of sadness that I haven’t talked to some of my favourite IRC friends for so long. I remember staying up until 2am having some of the most wonderful chats with some of the most interesting people.

ThreeOhFour,
@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 it's probably been 15 years for me. I ended up leaving because my IRC friends moved on in life and it was mostly just gossip channels. Same reason I mostly stay out of group discords.

ThreeOhFour,
@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 yeah. I think people tend to get comfy in those groups and fear to leave and start over. I just can't face the same conversations about the same things each day, though.

ThreeOhFour,
@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 Also demonstrably false, I recall you telling me about the things you found interesting in Death Stranding not that long after the game came out. :)

ThreeOhFour,
@ThreeOhFour@mastodon.social avatar

@vga256 Quite right. You and I both play a pretty good mix of new and old I think.

@vga256 I used to enjoy this a great deal! I cannot remember a thing about it, but I know I loved playing it. I hope you have fun with it!

@vga256 now that one I never played!
