The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

I heard back that CGC gave a lower grade to a sketch cover I drew on the front of, because I didn’t erase the schmutz my table left on the back of the sketch cover. So, I’ve written them a note.

hey bsky game folks, can anyone recommend any game making tools that work on an iPad? I'm looking for kids-friendly stuff, so nothing that automatically connects you to a public marketplace or such.

You awaken on a white shore, unsure what you’ve lost.

Dark rites brought me, @ratcasket.itch.io , and @puppiesandanime.bsky.social together.

Something stirs. More soon.

Mockup of a dark fantasy game UI. On the left, an isometric view shows a tiny hooded figure in a pointed hat standing near a hut with a glowing red bonfire. The scene is painted in icy blues, sandy yellows, and mossy greens, with cliff edges and a shoreline below. On the right, a portrait of a pale witch with large dark eyes, a hat tied with red string on their head, and large metal keys through their cheeks. Below the portrait, an interface bar shows strange symbols and inventory items: a worm shaped like the infinite, a drop of blood, and a potion bottle.
