It's the weekend so maybe you're in the mood for a movie night? In that case, how about a 4 hour "movie edit" of Black Dahlia, the 1998 FMV adventure game by Take 2 that's truly un-fucking-believable? Available now on my Patreon for free: www.patreon.com/post...

Between 2005 and 2010, I created my first small fan adventure games for Maniac Mansion Mania using AGS.
That's where I learned the basics of adventure game development.
Today, I focus on creating my own characters and worlds.

The first of two space battle scenes illustrated for the Black Knight episode.
It was a nice chance to revisit the work I did on the Baron and Concordats from the Warhammer episode.

I just released 5 new tracks of danceable EBM music that you may or may not enjoy. Produced and mixed by @jbhstudios.bsky.social, so you know it at least sounds decent on your home stereo.

This is fantastic! We tried doing a metal cover of this in @error47.bsky.social and let me tell you, this is NOT an easy song to play!
#ZakMcKracken co-designer Matthew Alan Kane just shared this with me (he's the composer of the Zak theme song). Enjoy this performance/arrangement by Grazia Pizzuto:

Alright, I wrote every German dialogue line of this game down in an Excel sheet. There are almost 200 dialogues.
Next, I'll proofread the lines again and start translating them into English.
I can’t wait until the AGS port of this game is finally done! 🙌

A tip for dealing with mechs on your property. Climb to the top of the nearest tall landmark. Then proceed to scream gibberish at the trespassers. Mech sensors will become confused; compelling them to leave.

Snowed in? Freezing frost forced you to reside inside?
Then warm up with thoughts of walking through the desert.
This man does have a name however. He's Ethan Moreau. He's thinking how nice it'd be to be snowed in.

Hello!
The legendary DC Bruins just released the standalone animation that was in our last movie. He went the extra mile to include some new credits, and all of the fancy 80's titles I made!
This whole project was a joy to be finally complete, and I hope you enjoy!
