The Underscore's first official jam has kicked off! It's low barrier to entry, anyone can do it, and you should maybe consider joining in just for the creative thrill of it.
Looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

Tale as old as time, but the fact that a quick video I made in a week performs so much better than something I spent months on and think is important gaming history is just a little disheartening.
Still grateful, and not gonna let it stop me from making whatever I want, short or long.

Promise Mascot Agency is a chill driving game set in a world full of freakish monsters and narrow doorways. It reminds me of long nights cruising around Vice City, and since the devs promise no Gen Ai too, it's an easy recommend.

In 1995, multiple video game magazines discussed a game that was less than halfway finished, shown off at that year's JAMMA show. That was Vic Viper: Battle Racing, a Gradius spin-off in the vein of F-Zero and Wipeout featuring Gradius vehicles and, you guessed it, battle racing. It never released.
Retro spotlight: Vic Viper: Battle Racing
Konami spun Gradius out into other genres, but in the mid-90s, they nearly went somewhere they should still really go.

NEW VIDEO: Phoenix Games is beyond notorious for releasing metric tons of garbage for the the PlayStations 1 and 2, sometimes in compilations of asset flips.
What if, though, one of these games was kinda... okay? And how would such a thing be possible?

![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)
