Now available at most German train station bookshops: two big magazines on Metroidvania-style games and the big world of Nintendo - I wrote couple of background-articles for both of them. Isn´t that nice?

Every now and then I go visit wolfgangarchive.com and I'm happy it's still there.https://wolfgangarchive.com/psiv-web/design/mainhero.gif

If you use #AI to create your podcast cover, I lose all interest. Even if I like the topic. I'd rather have a crude photo/screenshot with Comic Sans text on it. This crap not only robs artists & is bad for the environment, it also takes away every bit of visual personality your project might have. 🚮

Yup yup. I like the visuals. And yo, it's different screenshots than in Mastodon.

If you're interested, I wrote an article about why the summer of 1999 was special when the first translation patch was released for Seiken Densetsu 3 (Trials of Mana): www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_sei...

I'm still doing that.

I created some of the FF14 job icons in a higher resolution and vectorized them. Feel free to do with them what you want: www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_ff1...

I don't know why so many fishing minigames in RPGs use buttonmashing to reel in. This is so incredibly unrealistic. www.rpg-o-mania.com/ower-dms/gal...

Play-In-Progress: Ys X, chapter 6. It is "fine" right now, keeps me motivated. But boy did they bloat the game. Dana and Monstrum Nox were swift, evade-based games with a great story, Nordics is system upon system upon system with great characters, great music, a meh story and a convoluted gameplay.

NEU bei VSG von @rpg-o-mania.bsky.social Ich mag keine Videospiele - Das ist ein ziemlicher Claim, hier auf Videospielgeschichten, oder? Und tatsächlich, so richtig mag ich Videospiele nicht... www.videospielgeschichten.de/ich-mag-kein...

I'm not trying to smooth talk, but Thomas does a really good job especially writing about RPGs and the like. If you can speak German, the M! games is a great read. It can also be purchased digitally, so no need to go to a Kiosk in a German speaking country :D

Ys VIII - X

und ich stimme zu!

New review up! www.rpgreats.com/2024/11/drag...

I see myself in this message. :D

This really shows much of what I dislike on this game. Squished sprites. Enemies that just move around by some pixels. Attack animations that are just the static sprite two times mirrored. Random attacks without any logic behaviour by the enemies. Aaah!

Neu bei VSG: Die (Un)vereinbarkeit des Videospielhobbys und des Mamaseins – Teil 1 Wie lassen sich Mutterschaft und das Hobby Videospiele miteinander vereinbaren? www.videospielgeschichten.de/die-unverein... #Gaming #Elternschaft #Kinder #Eltern #Videospiele

Auf der Polaris trafen wir André Eymann von Videospielgeschichten. @vsgde.bsky.social Eine tolle Website für alle, die mal selbst Artikel rund um das Thema "gaming" verassen möchten. www.videospielgeschichten.de

And we finish our series of 25 recommendations with a total of over 30 recommendations. Check them out here: www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_25y... :)

I tried to remake some of the old #suikoden runes in a higher resolution. Here are the True Fire Rune and the Sun Rune. On my site, you can also find vectorized svg-images of both. www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_sui... www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_sui...
