Having released all three PC Hydlide games already, plus the MSX version of Hydlide 1, Eggconsole is now moving on to Tokihiro Naito's spiritual successor, Rune Worth! This series notably de-emphasized grinding battles for EXP, instead awarding it for plot progression. Virtual Hydlide also did that

@danmckee.bsky.social did you know about this?

Congratulations on the launch! Made right here in The Toon.

Today is the birthday of French artist Jean Giraud, aka Mœbius (May 8, 1938-March 10, 2012).

That one time I mixed up my toothbrush and my razor…

Really great video. A blast from the past! Like a lot of others, my first impression of the PS1 was the Demo 1 disc and firing up FIFA 98 and being greeted by “Busy Child” by The Crystal Method. Class!

Drank two coffees and listened to Fat of the Land then giving my work computer the burning knuckle, launching into the stratosphere.

Here we go folks! The Crowdfunder for the Valleys book is live! Super excited to get this going finally 😁😁😁😁😁 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/valleys-ph...

Encountered a less than pleasant person today and it got me thinking about this great book I read the other year about the impact of rudeness. I Can’t Believe You Just Said That! By Danny Wallace Give it a look! #BookSky

Case in point: This Goofy cartoon always has me howling! youtu.be/OfIn_imcHmU?...

Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.

Attention #SciFi fans! Q) Other than Alien and Red Dwarf, which Sci-Fi films/shows feature great lived-in retro space ship interiors? Need help for research

For the new followers, here's my new-ish hobby I have been too busy to pick up this year. I like to model dioramas and scenery, although I don't play any tabletop games. In a different life, I would have found a way to do this full time 😢 Here are my 3 finished creations.

Rate some games on itch today!

The discos are a great laugh. I've got glandular fever.

it's Cartoonist Day!

I also want to go back and do some cover art for my previous games to make them look more appealing on the itch page. Hopefully I can psych myself up to work on something later this evening.

Been finding it hard to jump into my next project after releasing Barefoot in the Snow despite having loads of stuff drafted. Had a nice moment just before drifting off to sleep last night, where I thought of a new game idea that I should be able to turn out quite quick.

Happy CITIZEN SLEEPER DAY! 🥳 The series is 3 years old today! To celebrate I just released SPINDLEJACK a free, print and play solo TTRPG about zero-g bike couriers! 🚴‍♀️Grab it here: jump-over-the-age.itch.io/citizen-slee... We also have new series art, and some fun stats below too 👇

It flew off too quick! I didn’t get a chance to see what type of war it was!

What’s your break glass in an emergency game/film/show/book? Something comforting that you know so well that you can return to when you are stressed or wiped out. Last night I fired up Fallout: New Vegas and started a new character. The apocalypse has never been so comforting 😅

Japanese game cover design is widely admired by players, a true craft they have perfected over the years. In an effort to make their product stand out, many studios explored a more tactile range of materials. The resulting effect is as amusing today as it is instantly nostalgic.🧵

Not sure if anyone can help me here. For years I have tried to identify a film that traumatised me as a child (though I’m also worried that I might not be as young as I think I was…).

No Manuel?

💕💕💕Just noticed 300 people have checked out my games! Cheers everyone! I’m looking forward to starting work on my next one soon 💕💕💕

Funny that Rockstar announce the delay of GTA VI soon after the release of Barefoot in the Snow. Coincidence? No chance…

It’s a beautiful Spring afternoon and the perfect occasion to play my new game set in a gloomy haunted mansion on the frigid outskirts of a frozen forest! 😅 Barefoot in the Snow 🦶❄️ Free to play in browser: rhubarb-games.itch.io/barefoot-in-... #GameDev #IndieGames #1Bit #PixelArt #Gothic #Horror

Sat on the bus re-reading The Colour of Magic and I’m instantly transported back to Ankh-Morpork sat in a tavern next to Rincewind. Few authors can paint such vivid pictures in your mind. #BookSky
