Patch 1.3, the three year anniversary update for Purgatory Dungeoneer, is out now! The game's also 50% off (so currently $4.99) so it's as good a time as any to check out an RPG about retired adventurers!

steamcommunity.com/games/196301...

A turn-based JRPG battle with several enemies on the left and the player's party of five on the right. The selected enemy is the Cyclops Blackguard, who currently has five status effects with tooltips shown.

If I was gonna write a dystopian story about consumerism I'd probably stay away from something as on the nose as "they convince you to shave your pubes, which is a free and infinite resource, so a billionaire can sell you back a worse plastic version" but I guess reality isn't held to my standards

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but...

1) The customer is always wrong

2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me. I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.

As someone that played and enjoyed Ninja Gaiden Black ages ago, I really took these words of his to heart.

A picture of Tomonobu Itagaki leaning back and facing left with a black background. The white text to the left says: "At first it was easier, but when the testers said 'this is too difficult', I made it even more difficult." -Tomonobu Itagaki.

Got this review for "Damien Crawford's Golf Experience 2024" and it's honestly one of the highest compliments you can give a golf game

A Steam review from October 15 showing 1.1 hours played and Recommended. It says "10/10 Jack Nicklaus would be proud".

So if I change my display name… not my handle, but my display name I’ll lose the lil blue check? That makes zero sense.?!!

I can see this being a thing if you change your handle. Come on y’all. 🫠

Sometimes the game is a struggle, but other times it says you should play aggressively and it just gives the win to you lol

An online mahjong table. The visible player is able to call Ron with four discards on their side, three on the player to the right, one from the player across, and none from the player to the left. The visible player has called Pon, Kan, Pon, and Pon already.

The scoring hand after the game from the other screenshot with three Green Dragons, four South Winds, three 1 Sou, three North Winds, and the last tiles were a pair of 6 Sou. From the Green Dragon, Seat Wind, All Triplets, and Half Flush it scored 6 Han and 12,000 points.

Notable side effect of itch being down is that anyone (including me) using the itch io domain on our bsky accounts currently has an invalid handle

That's gonna be a lot of indie devs not being seen or heard

Make sure you check in on your favourite devs & share their work when things start working

🚧 Sorry everyone, it appears we're currently under a DDOS attack and our host, Linode, put a networking restriction on our main web server, meaning it isn't publicly available. We've reached out to them for more information. Hope to have an update soon.
