Hi everyone, this is my very first post on Bluesky! 🥳

I'm a game developer. I created Pictopix, a picross game available on Steam:

If you like to talk about video games, movies, etc. let's connect! 🎉

Even more fun: in the Bit Plains world, you play Commodore against Atari if you're playing on Amiga! 🤜 ⚡️ 🤛

Or vice versa, if you're playing on Atari ST (look the flags)

Which side are you on? 😁

I remember playing the demo of Populous 3, which I liked, but not as much as the first two 🙂

I'd still like to play it again someday. I think I have it in my GOG library.

Populous: The Promised Lands 🚩 (1989)

I had a lot of fun with this expansion, which added 5 new worlds and 500 levels! 😀

Did you know that the Atari ST and Amiga versions were released on the same disk?

I played the demo of Adorable Adventures 🌿 🐗

This game is so cute! 😍

You play as a baby boar named Boris who sets off in search of his brothers.

The kind of review that makes you smile 🙂

(about my game @pictopix.bsky.social)

#GameDev #IndieGame #Pictopix #Picross #Nonogram #ピクロス
"My kids got me into nonograms, and unlike all the usual games I play, which normally involve zombies and guns, I play them for a bit of relaxation. PictoPix is amazing. There are so many puzzles, and even a place for the community to post their own puzzles. They range from tiny to absolutely massive. I can't believe how many hours I have put into these puzzles and I'm still no where near the end. Yes, the music sounds like it should be in the background of a holiday programme but you can always turn it off. It simply plays great, costs practically nothing and it's the kind of game someone will see you playing and immediately say "Oh, do you want me to give you a hand with that?"

Some photos from the film 🎞️ ❤️

I would have liked to show HD photos of Jeanne Moreau and Michael Lonsdale (I had forgotten that he had a role in it!), but I couldn't find any.

La première fois que je l'ai vu, ça m'avait fait un sacré choc (j'avais même chopé un mal de crâne). Je ne l'avais pas vu depuis une bonne dizaine d'années je crois 🙂

I watched The Trial again last night 🏦 ⚖️

It might be my favorite Orson Welles movie ❤️

It was the first one of his that I saw.

The first question is the hardest, because I had to restart the demo several times to understand that the answer was given by the map seller and that it depended on the birthday given to the fortune teller! 😮

🧵 3/

#SecretOfMonkeyIsland #MonkeyIsland #LucasfilmGames #PointAndClick #AdventureGame
If I confirm to the fortune teller that I was born on January 1st, then... ...when I ask the map seller where Monkey Island is located, he tells me that it is located at longitude 114 and latitude 37! The day of the birth date influences the longitude and the month influences the latitude.

Et bien sûr, j'ai dit une bêtise. Celle de Dagon est faite par Philippe Druillet.

Je pensais à une autre illustration (imaginaire ? 🙃)

Est-ce qu'il est possible de savoir dans quels points Presse le magazine est distribué s'il vous plait ?

Car il est introuvable dans les deux les plus près de chez moi.

The first advert for The Secret of Monkey Island in a magazine appears to date from November 1990 🐒

Among other things, it mentions a "special" demo that would win prizes, including a cruise! 🏝️

I played Inmost 🪦 🌹

It's a short and beautiful game with a very polished atmosphere and an intriguing story 🧸

I highly recommend it if you like puzzle platformers!

Merci ! Peut-être que Métal Hurlant avait déjà publié l'une de ses BD ? Son style me dit quelque chose.
