@coleoptera do you think this is kind of an Eventual Wiki mindset that contemporary games have? that eventually the veil falls away and reveals a craven internally consistent spreadsheet

old games have sublime corners to them that are truly unknowable maybe because they were not made to be eventually catalogued and made finite idk

like idk I don't want to make decisive culture/economic statements but I'm always really impressed by like, the small studio mid-budget stuff that appeared on the playstation and ps2 mostly from japan (my main favorite examples are like, chulip, LSD, and deadly premonition) and that these titles have a kind of spark and originality that even indie projects don't often? like they have a -pull-. It feels like KRZ is so great because it's catching up with this mindset.

Today, I've finally released RogueBox Adventures v3.0.0!
It was a long way so far, but I am very happy with this release.

Decolonizing Games - questioning Western imperial capitalist propaganda and super-story behind the looting, killing and strip-mining of indigenous people in RPGs et al.. One of the best game analysis videos I've seen, (also a shout-out for Neofeud in there!)

It took some work, but Glittering Light 2 now has a lo-fi #graphics mode. It muddies the #display, but works much better on slow computers.

Some years ago, I did a small voxel shooter for PICO-8, you can play online or download the binary on the itch.io page: https://chiptune.itch.io/zepton

the source code is available on the official PICO-8 BBS:

Aaaa I forgot to mention the 'Fictional Games' event on Glorious Trainwrecks:

'This is a game jam about games that do not exist or currently do not exist. [...] This game jam is heavily inspired by The works of Jorge Luis Borges and Stanisław Lem, so feel free to peruse their fictions. Suzanne Treister has also made some beautiful fictional video game stills.'

Make a game without actually making the game.

the constant cycle of racist harassment and shit on mastodon is not normal you cant act like you're above any other platform.
