I imagine you in particular will appreciate the artistry of its submerged and semi-submerged environments.

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

The art was brilliant. Always.

Had completely missed the remake, but will check it out! Thanks!

Also, actually thinking of buying one of those new 2600s with the new Berzerk cartridge too tbh...

Sad to hear, but, admittedly, it does make sense. Best of luck with the publishing side of things!

Have been trying to contact Countryman Press through every possible way regarding the Virtual Cities rights, but they are not apparently in a chatty mood. I find this irritating at best.

Baldur's Gate was downright impressive in Baldur's Gate II, and sounds like it has retained much of its allure in Baldur's Gate III. Must find the time to finally visit.

Check out Baldur's Gate's three densely-packed districts in this dev diary

The city at the heart of Baldur's Gate 3 has had a glow up.
