#Gaurodan is out!
The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

No tengo planes en firme, pero me ronda la idea de montar algo estilo Patreon para darle un poco de financiación a mis proyectitos freeware, tener un canal de notificaciones más directo que Bluesky y retomar las ediciones de mi colección homebew para quienes apoyen el proyecto.
I was wondering if someone around can share their experience with non-commercial funding (donations, patreon, ko-fi...).
I have a classic PayPal donation button on my site, but it's hard to inform supporters about updates that way.
I wonder if other methods make more sense for devs and supporters

Estaba pensando que solemos vincular el éxito de una obra a la cantidad de dinero recaudado al poco de su publicación.
Pero, ¿No es la hostia que una persona pinte unos animales en la pared de una cueva y que millones de personas se flipen con su obra 40.000 años después?

True!
But also, 10 players are enough. Even one is ok. Even if it's just the dev.

Game development is spending weeks working on a feature that 10 players will notice, go “oh, that’s kinda neat” and then move on to the next part of the game

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Don't sleep on Night Striker GEAR, it has a bit of a lame start, the controls take a lot of getting used to (& basically require analog), the visibility is often crap but holy shit. Iuchi did not stop the inherent difficulties of reading 3D patterns stop him from cooking up some proper shmuppy stuff

Es raro, pero la combi de la paleta de ZX Spectrum con sprites de un color a lo MSX (sin color clash), me parece rebonita.
Y no es que odie el color clash, me parece curioso. Pero esa combi me recuerda a los flyers baratunos de conciertos y fiestecillas impresos en negro sobre papel de colores y ♥

I've been obsessed about short arcadey action games for many years, but I think I just started doing it right lately.
The new version of l'Abbaye des Morts (while not arcadey) can be completed in less than 15 minutes if you know what to do. Gaurodan and Toxic Tomb in around 20 minutes each.

Random fact: the title screen for the game X-Multiply (Irem, 1986) looks very similar to the cover art for the album Straight Between the Eyes (Rainbow, 1982)

Omg! I love this movie. There's not enough fiction about the inner space.
[In development] Fantastic Voyage (1966) remake
"[James Cameron] will produce it and says he is working with a director on a new script and thinks it could move forward in a big way this year."
Cameron has been trying to produce this remake for nearly 30 years.
