The game "logic" is 2D on a tilemap then I convert it into a 3D viewport display so that a 1x1 sprite is a 1x1 3D gameobject. Increasing the dimensions of the gameobject would lead to grid-to-world headaches. It feels natural to navigate so if I can trigger someone's claustrophobia all the better.

I’ve been obsessed with creating an arcade style dungeon crawler and that means going buck wild on the UI.

Andrew Dice of Carpe Fulgur has passed. This is devastating. Not only did Recettear have a big impact on me, so too did their decision to found a company to translate indie games. It was incredible to see them go all in on their dreams like that. Respect to both of them. We’ll miss you Andrew.

Here's a lightweight package for the original Deus Ex that makes it run properly with minimal setup, working out-of-the-box with HUD scaling:

They put the "gawd damn" in the Deus Ex Remastered preview explicitly to get my blood boiling.

I would be more concerned if Proton wasn't miles better than literally any version of Windows. How is it I can run a Windows 95 game like The Dark Eye with better compatibility than Windows 95???

Perfect Tides, a Bildungsroman of the Y2K era that explores the intersection of teenage sexual awakening and understanding that adulthood is presenting a facile representation of reality to mask pain.

Anyone online during the height of Something Awful remembers Paypal freezing $30,000 in HURRICANE KATRINA donations. Fuck Paypal.

Dominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · Aug 27

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Fabraz - Demon Tides & Bubsy 4D @fabraz.bsky.social · Aug 27

Colleague from Atari sent me a video of his speedrun of the first Bubsy 4D level and um... It's amazing.

This took him HOURS to pull off, uses a speed exploit and (obviously) skips all optional content.
