Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/04/moon...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

This is a supremely good take about why giving proper credit for indie games production and demystifying the solodev rhetoric around games is so desperately needed. Cc @joeyschutz.bsky.social from our previous convo :)

more and more elements of the games industry are going to align themselves with gambling in the coming years, in a normalization of market failure. it is crucial to build a new paradigm for games and it must be ideologically opposed to this one. restructuring around gambling is anti-culture.

Check out the newest episode of Indiepocalypse Radio (on your podcast platform of choice) to hear me talk about things like this, the PS2 game Chaindive, and "John Luke Goddard."

written podcast transcription that says:

"I want people to do other things with their time. I think it's beautiful that people play my game, but I want the world to exist outside of my game. I think that's very important, that people see and have different experiences.

Because if you are just exclusively playing games, you're just only getting an exclusive viewpoint on life. You're not seeing life itself. You're just seeing the one thing.

And I want you to go outside. I want you to have interactions with people. I want you to do things.

I think games can facilitate those things, but often times we use them as a means to go inward rather than outward."

Golden Light is a one of a kind freak game that more people should play. And now can, because it's (for the time being) free. Horror comedy stealth roguelike. Like playing Prop Hunt in Silent Hill while drunk. Sometimes you can heal by hitting yourself in the face with a fire axe, or eating a gun.
