Ende 2022 habe ich ein kostenloses PDF-Magazin über winterliche Games veröffentlicht. Mein Fokus lag auf Indiegames & vergessenen Klassikern. Zudem sind einige Specials drin, bei denen auch @docower.bsky.social @lazerpunch.bsky.social mitgewirkt haben.

this is one of the very few fighting games I've really enjoyed and actually put in the effort to master all the moves of a character. Had many epic battles against my brother on the Dreamcast.

a real hidden gem. I still remember beating the time trial to unlock that final boss car (Black Kaiser or something?) 😀

A sneak peek at the intro sequence of our upcoming point & click adventure — hand-painted, story-driven, and tinged with cosmic dread.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

creating something is hard work I guess 😅 Anyway I'll be happy to play The Third Shift even if I'll have to wait another decade for it ✊

LRT about the Taito photo goes hand in hand with this video by Kurzgesagt, talking about how AI posted by official sources will creep back into the datasets as legit information until it will be impossible to verify what is real and what’s not

I had so high expectations when I finally took the time to actually play my imported US version of it and was so disappointed. The backgrounds are often beautiful but the "story" is so thin and the whole gameplay felt very simplistic and grindy after a while. I gave up about halfway through :/

Nie davon gehört. Der Klappentext klingt aber auch mehr nach Lernsoftware als nach Spiel.

Mit Quartet haben @somethingclassic.bsky.social meine verloren geglaubte Liebe für klassische #JRPGs neu entfacht. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber dank hervorragendem Pacing, sympathischen Charakteren und einer Extraportion Nostalgie hatte ich eine wirklich tolle Zeit:
polygonien.de/2025/10/quar...
Teaser-Bild zu Quartet. Man sieht 8 sehr unterschiedliche Charaktere, die im Kreis auf einer Art altem Tempelpodest hoch oben auf einem Berg stehen. Vier der Figuren sehen aus wie Geister und vor ihnen steht ein alter Mann, der nach einem Geistlichen aussieht. Die Szene ist in klassischer Pixelart gehalten.

Im Mai habe ich über meine (recht positiven) VR-Erfahrungen mit Alien: Rogue Incursion geschrieben. Inzwischen ist mit der Evolved Edition auch ein Non-VR-Port für PS 5, Xbox Series und PC erschienen. Ich würde allerdings definitiv zu VR raten, wenn ihr die Wahl habt:

as a big fan of the Alien franchise I had a good (often intense) time with the original VR release. I'm sure they have put a lot of work into this 2D redesign but I would guess that it is just an okay shooter without the VR gameplay.

Look, I’m not an artist but I think your marketing "illustrator" doesn't know how bikes work and it seems like he could not decide if the boy’s hands should be comic style with 4 fingers or realistic with 5 🤷‍♂️

I know #indiedev is hard but I'd rather have crude looking art than soulless slop #fuckAI
Screenshot of news post from a steam game. The text says "Art Update: Our marketing illustrator has also been busy creating a brand new capsule collection for our Steam library. These new visuals are super vibrant and reflect the charm and quirky energy of the game. We can’t wait for you to see them live!" Below is a colourful comic style image of a delivery or school boy on a green bike. The bike is missing the pedals and his hands have a different amount of fingers. It seems to be AI generated.

pretty random question but since you are flying a jet in that clip and have a talent for aerial games I just wondered:
Would you be interested in making an After Burner and/or Panzer Dragoon sequel if SEGA gave you the licence?

tbh I fell asleep during 2001: A Space Odyssey. Really did not click with me at all and not because it is old.
