My life's ambition is for a gamer to get so frustrated with how awesome my game is that they leave a negative steam review

So my ascii engine has a big-text mode, and you can get some really lovely effects overlappings glyphs. So far in Grist i've been pretty strictly authentic to the "could it run in a genuine terminal?" ethos. But artistically, I think I'd like to explore these possibilities more.
a purple sun over rocky hills and trees, drawn using 2x sized ascii glyphs with overlaps. It's pixelated, blocky, messy, and impressionistic.

#pitchyagame a fighting game where you play as cryptids like Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, Chupacabra, etc, that takes a lot of inspiration from games like Guilty Gear and Melty Blood to name a couple

Recently I released #Barbarians for #msdos. This release was for the #DOSember Game Jam, a 3-month game jam for MS-DOS preceding the month-long DOSember streaming event for 2025. cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #gamedev
A screenshot from the recently released Barbarians for MS-DOS. It uses a similar layout to the versions ZX Spectrum and some Psion pocket computers. A central main map is surrounded by various information panels: on the left, information about the empire as a whole, on the right, information about the last referenced map square, and underneath, the game's name and a one-line prompt and menu display.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because ever since you got into that thing you're currently into everyone's been pretty annoyed with you. That last post you made was really cringe and everyone's talking about it in the secret discord you're not in.

Not now, carnivorous death ball
Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."
