I had to try that out... though I'm not quite sure it qualifies as a "game". 😄 Love the graphics though.

I've played through the English version of the great 90s German point&click adventure "BiFi2 - Action in Hollywood". 🥳

Hit 500 wishlists for "The Jester and the Madman" even before Steam Next Fest. That's quite a bit more than I expected. Thank you! 🥳

Broken Sword 2 is getting the "Reforged" treatment!

Charles Cecil spoke to me about how they're updating the sequel - & how they won't be using AI to upgrade any of the graphics this time round.

What does this mean for the sixth BS, Parzival's Stone? More on that too!

YES! I hope for this one after the glorious Remaster of the first.

I mean it's kind of obvious it would react that way. It's trained on data from the internet and including scifi. So the most likely response to an AI being "threatened" comes from stories where AI is hostile. That's still potentially dangerous, but it has nothing to do with sentience or survival.

Not quite sure if this was "lost media" but I've just uploaded a German platformer called "Mopsy" to archive.org. Couldn't find any info or videos on the game online but then again I might have missed some. 😅 So if you want "Commander Keen at Home" give it a try!
