Our first scene is done!

This update brings the first use of a gallery with general flow to games & back.

There're bugs in the scene but it's more fun to hop around & throw bombs at Boris than the original game!

I wasn't sure I could pull it off...but I got a game I made 22 years ago in college working on modern Linux!

Technically, #SteamDeck playable 😆

Added my @gamesdonequick.com Break Channel to my @itch.io page. Maybe it'll get merged someday 😄

Took some time to create a standalone HTML5 app to fake the React-based channel system, & there's visual bugs, but it runs.

When are bombs dangerous?
Should a bomb hurt you if you hold it too long? Should it clip the back of your head if you throw it while jumping? These are the kinds of design questions I’ve been revisiting while trying to make...

Semisolid platforms are not negligible to implement.

Working on allowing characters to walk & jump through, then land & stay on top. The challenge is compounded when there are multiple levels of platforms, standing on one and trying to walk through a slightly higher one.

A video game character standing on a semisolid platform that he can both walk and jump through but then land and stay on top. The developer challenge is compounded when there are multiple levels of platforms.

Congrats on Patch 2.0!

For those who haven't tried, this is a great addition to the genre and frantic fun! Now with multiplayer?!

I'm glad this video was somehow still able to happen despite all the garbage the staff at @polygon.com have gone through. Please give it a watch and support independent games media.

#VideoGameBacklog "Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore" (Switch, 2024) is an amazing homage and spiritual successor to the awful CD-I Zelda games. The animation, voice, and characters are as bad as they should be, but the game is not just playable...it's fun! Thanks @seth.games & @limitedrungames.com!

I finally finished Lorelei! I have a physical notebook full of scribbles I can't post because of extreme spoilers, obv. #VideoGameBacklog

#VideoGameBacklog "Lorelei & the Laser Eyes" (PC, 2024) is an eerily captivating & stylish puzzle adventure where you explore a mysterious hotel, unraveling the past, present, & otherworldly. With minimal dialogue & a plethora of puzzles, it has the nostalgic charm of classics like 7th Guest.

#VideoGameBacklog "The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show" (PC, 2025) is a short, point-and-click escape-the-room puzzle game by @rustylake.com to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. It's free, weird, and fun. #indiegames
Mr. Rabbit figuring out a puzzle. The dev team's living room. David Lynch! A magic trick.

🧵 What is #VideoGameBacklog?

#indiegames #retrogames

Hiya! I'm Ryan. I've been acquiring video games since the NES era. With the advent of digital distribution, bundles, and free "games of the month," my collection has increased to about 1500 titles.

#VideoGameBacklog "ΔV: Rings of Saturn" is a space mining sim by Kodera where you collect ore from within the ring field. It has good physics & autopilot mechanics (once you get used to them) yet it's still a little tricky to get those buggers in. #indiegaming

#VideoGameBacklog "Zombie Night Terror" (PC, 2016) is: what if Lemmings but you're spreading a zombie apocalypse instead helping cute creatures get home? I want to like this game by NoClip. The level designs and actions are interesting, but it gets frustratingly tough quickly. #indiegames
Screenshot of one of the TVs which introduce you to new zombie abilities. Zombies being told which way to go by an Overlord. Perfect run so far, but all these zombies die before the end. A group of baton-wielding humans popped out of that van and killed all of my zombies.

#VideoGameBacklog "Yooka-Laylee" (PC, 2017) is a well-known action platformer from former Rare folk, and for good reason! The characters, models, scenery, and controls are spot on. Worth a romp if you have it.

#VideoGameBacklog "Yesterday" (PC, 2012) is a P&C adventure with unique animation and quite a dark story involving alchemy, Satanism, reincarnation, and other creepy topics & locations. Worth starting if you enjoy the genre! #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "What Remains of Edith Finch" (PC, 2017) is a walking simulator by genre but an extremely artistic story in reality. The game is short and dark, as if Edward Gorey created a 3D visual novel, and is worth at least one playthrough. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Yoku's Island Express" (PC, 2018) is an adorable mix of platforming, exploration, and pinball! This is a gem from Villa Gorilla and you should play it for the art, music, design, characters...and pinball.
Roll your ball to victory, little Dung Beetle! #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "X-Morph: Defense" (PC, 2017) is a tower defense game but you also control a highly maneuverable alien craft. Building/strategy and attack waves are separate, but you fight & can build during the wave. Art is pretty good and, overall, it's a fun take on the genre. #indiegames
