I make games, I make comics, and I make jokes. I also play retro games. What more is there to say?

I finished Digimon Digital Card Battle (Arena in Japan) for the PS1. Easily the best Digimon game I've played. Engaging story, beautiful music, fun mechanics. That final boss was definitely the best part. An easy 3 out of 3 stars. #RETROGAMING #retro #game #gamer #GamersUnite #digimon

I've finally finished recording all of the voice lines! 🎮 I just need to listen to them, rerecord any lines I flubbed, play my game, and then send it to my beta testers. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #adventuregame #Announcement #pointandclick #GameDev #screenshotSaturday

So I've been finishing off some games that I got stuck on years ago. I've recently completed The Sims 2 for DS, Sword of Mana for GBA, and just now Digimon World 2003 for the PS1. It's been fun revisiting these games, sad to see them finished, and surprising to see everything is still working.

You know. Finally playing the special "Reunion" episode on The Sims 2 for GameBoy Advance, ten years after I finished the game, is actually very fitting. It actually FELT like a reunion. #sims #GBA #retro #gaming

I've just found out that there's a mod for The Sims 4 to make the UI theme more akin to The Sims 2, and I can't believe how much it improves the look of the game. 😲

Just finished The Sims Bustin' Out for GBA 🎮 An incredibly fun game for what it is. Hilarious dialog and fun gameplay, albeit simple. It makes me pine for the days when The Sims had edge. I may be biased, but I give it 3 out of 3 stars. #RETROGAMING #retro #game #gamer #GamersUnite #sims

I've recently been playing Dungeon Keeper using KeeperFX, and boy is it fun. Especially the recreation of the DK2 My Pet Dungeon maps. I've managed to get so many skeletons, that I can just leave the hero lever left on, without any worries. 🎮

Today I learnt that you unlock the final level on The Sims 2 for GBA by linking two GBAs. 🎮 All this time I thought that you had to get a 100 rating on all of the other levels. Well, it might be 15 years after I started playing it, but I can finally finish the game! (Kind of fitting though.)

Fun fact about Ultima: Runes of Virtue II for the SNES. 🎮 The Japanese version has anime portraits. (Also the GameBoy version has co-op multiplayer support.) #SnesFriday #SuperNintendo #SNES #Nintendo #LordBritish #Ultima #retrogaming #gaming #retrogames #GamersUnite

To anyone who has avoided playing Touhou Project because it looks too hard. Just know that despite appearances, bullet-hell games are surprisingly easier than normal shumps due to your tiny hitbox. I'd recommend Touhou to anyone. They're really fun games (brilliant music too, obviously).

Anyone ever notice how City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 has a very similar melody to Magical Sound Shower from OutRun. Particularly the "Rollin' around at the speed of sound." part.

Finished Ultima Runes of Virtue 2. It's an early Gameboy game ported to the SNES and it shows. Ugly, janky, and unfair. Crap ending too. But I had fun. The dungeons were like puzzles. It's a 1 out of 3 stars game. But for me it's a 2 out of 3. #RETROGAMING #retro #game #gamer #GamersUnite #Ultima

For any retro gamers out there, if you ever find yourself playing a Nintendo DS game that requires you to blow into the microphone. Just rub your finger over it instead. It's easier.

Just finished Driver: San Francisco on my Xbox One. An absolutely brilliant game. They don't make them like this anymore. Fun the entire way through. Only annoying part, was how you had to press up to boost. An easy 3 out of 3 stars. #RETROGAMING #retro #game #gamer #GamersUnite #Driver #DriverSF

A quick update letting you all know what the current progress is with my game. I'm halfway done with the voice work, 5000 lines recorded, with only 5000 left. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #adventuregame #Announcement #pointandclick

I finally finished D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun. Overall: Very slow start, mazes galore with lots of backtracking. Anti-climatic ending. But a fun dungeon crawler, with a plot that slowly ramps up. A solid 2 out of 3 stars. #RETROGAMING #retro #game #gamer #GamersUnite #DungeonsAndDragons

Hmm, do you think that 22 years might be a bit too long for me to resume playing a saved game?

Happy #TrailerTuesday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR1S...

Just finished Battle Master on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. My review: Fun game, impossibly difficult, terrible ending. I personally give it 2 out of 3 stars. But everyone else would probably give it 1 out of 3. #RETROGAMING #retrogamer #retrogames #GamersUnite #BattleMaster

I've been playing Daikoukai Jidai Gaiden. And while I can't read any of it, the fact that it has the exact same menu structure as Uncharted Waters 2, makes it a breeze to play. It's been a lot of fun so far, with some nice QOL improvements. #RETROGAMING #retrogamer #retrogames #UnchartedWaters2

Memes then and now by DanVzare: deviantart.com/danvzare/art... Definitely one of my better comic strips. #ragecomic #comic #comicstrip

After taking a couple of weeks off during the holidays, I've finally started working on my game again. Namely the voice acting. Only 7500 more lines to go, then it's onto the final testing stage. :D #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #adventuregame #Announcement #pointandclick

I decided to join BlueSky simply because Twitter decided that I was a bot, because I barely used it. What can I say, I don't see the point in looking at whatever crap people have decided to moan about that day. But I do like to have a place to post the latest news about my stuff. So here I am. :)
