I'm John Thyer! I've been making games and sharing them online for free since 2013: farawaytimes.itch.io

I wrote "How To Make Good Small Games" in 2023: farawaytimes.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-...

I organized the chain game anthology Gardens of Vextro in 2022: vextro.itch.io/gardens-of-v...

one of polly's favorite dungeon crawlers is labyrinth of touhou 2 in large part because it's a gorgeous EO riff with completely free respeccing

for the record I'm playing EO1 again and my plan is to keep my team of the same five guys and brute force my way to the end like a neanderthal and not do the post game stratum 😌

sraeka have you considered training four farmers with earth's bounty to a level where they can shepherd your low level characters in the lower stratums

Visual novel text. A mustached girl with a huge rat's nest says: "You've really never heard of Rosemary's Baby? Mia Farrow's pregnant and she's got this horrible feeling about the baby, her husband sucks, her neighbors are creeps, turns out her husband pimped her out to the literal devil and now she's knocked up with the antichrist?" Her butch companion replies: "Oh, okay, it's a horror movie."

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

MM2 Wily Theme, probably the best song in video game history. Some say it's overplayed but I think it deserves it, it's just too good www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgY2...
