I recently inherited an old 1981 card game called Dragonmaster that features superb art by Bob Pepper (1938-2019). High quality scans of the deck below.
Not sci-fi but seems like an artist @70sscifiart.bsky.social might know more about?

I've seen some people wondering about it, so I figured I'd tell a story re: unbeatable's enemy combat anims, and why they're not used as player sets in arcade mode. The very short answer is: anticipation frames.
Below is one of Enemy Clef's attacks: It goes 1 anticip, 1 hit, 1 recov.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

Let me be clear:
99.9% of indie devs need their next title to be a success.
Unfortunately, this is not kindergarten and there are no shiny stars for everyone.
Making games is hard.
Selling lots of them is WAY harder.

NEW: Yacht Club Games needs a hit. In recent years the maker of Shovel Knight has had to lay off staff, pause a 3D project, and delay their next game indefinitely.
The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
