Kann es sein dass es generell um die Leute rund um Chained Echoes extrem ruhig geworden ist? Hätte für ein Special auf meiner Site versucht die Entwickler zu kontaktieren, aber seitdem höre ich nur Grillen zirpen.
Meine Vorbestellung von Chained Echoes wird heute drei Jahre alt und immer noch weiß niemand so genau, ob die Dinger überhaupt gedruckt werden.
Bitte kauft nie bei First Press Games.

I bought "This Way Madness Lies" after a recommendation of @tapirfortuna.bsky.social - I like it!
But to all the game developers - if you release a game that's on a platform with a limited resolution, please make sure that the pixel scaling is correct! The Switch mobile version is so ugly scaled..

When you copy basically everything from some older RPG, but it still kinda works. Just a pity that they had to include this modernish "balance turns"-thingy where you have to save certain turns or else...! #jrpg

That really looks interesting! I liked Soleil a lot, but it kinda lost me in the latter half, where you just went back the whole original story. It missed more towns, more NPCs to interact with, more peaceful moments. Is this one better in that regard?
For #randomgamesaturday, it's Linkle Liver Story for Saturn! It not only has an amazing title, its story is also quite interesting: It started out as a sequel to Ragnacenty/Soleil, but in the end became its own game. I quite like the 2D/3D-mix, it's a bit of a pity though that it only runs in 30fps.

Okay, I just purchased it because of Thomas' suggestion. He's among my top 3 RPG recommendators.
Seriously, do NOT sleep on this game! It's a true hidden gem!
This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

A well-equipped Alundra. 28 hours in and with several optional hidden things uncovered.
We're playing the PAL version with Working Designs changes to the difficulty, and honestly, it hasn't been as rough as we feared. Only at the start, really, when all you've got is the dagger.

A very personal view on #suikoden (already published in German for @vsgde.bsky.social in the past) now on my website: www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_ret...
It's written so extensively and personal that you could mistake it for a @binaryscroll.bsky.social text!

We could have so great 2D art nowadays. Why do devs so often resort back to pixelated visuals?
I mean, literally playable cartoons! Why isn't this more of a thing?
Something that looks good in my opinion:

It annoys me to no end that there is a genre called "Metroidvania" and it pays no respect to one of its earliest entries: Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap.
Why not call it Wondermetroidvania? eh?

Okay, I updated nothing for 80 days and the reaction was... nonexistant. No one reached out to me.
Almost no one reacted to any social media post.
It is as if no one is watching this stuff on my website anymore, except from AI bots.

Now available at most German train station bookshops: two big magazines on Metroidvania-style games and the big world of Nintendo - I wrote couple of background-articles for both of them. Isn´t that nice?

If you use #AI to create your podcast cover, I lose all interest. Even if I like the topic. I'd rather have a crude photo/screenshot with Comic Sans text on it. This crap not only robs artists & is bad for the environment, it also takes away every bit of visual personality your project might have. 🚮

I don't know why so many fishing minigames in RPGs use buttonmashing to reel in. This is so incredibly unrealistic. www.rpg-o-mania.com/ower-dms/gal...
