Playing a cute little indie game called Adventurous Slime tonight. Simple, easy, and short Metroidvania with XP-based leveling and a freeform map that reminds me a bit of Castlequest in its openness (but a much better game).

I took an interesting risk with my Beyond the NES Kickstarter campaign - I thought "since it's basically a giant magazine, wouldn't it be cool to have spots for independent creators to advertise their stuff?" It was a risk, because I didn't want to fill the book with junk ads, off-topic, or (1/3)

Just for fun: come up with your best Famicom game joke. If I like it, I might put it in Beyond the NES (with your permission/credit, of course!)

It's really unbelievable how blithely ignorant a huge swath of gamedevs are about this -- they don't seem to grasp that the core of the fun isn't "getting the golfball into the hole", it's **being forced to do so only by hitting the ball with a stick**. (to very badly paraphrase Bernard Suits)

Every frame of Donald Duck's movement is drawn by a skilled artist. Every inflection in his voice is intentionally created by a skilled voice actor. Donald Duck is more human than this soulless marketing gimmick.

The box art for Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-Kun no Beat Breaker was definitely a choice. Does this angel's junk win the award for "Most Screen Time for a Penis" in the Famitsu awards?

Amongst locals, it's widely believed that this place is just a money laundering front and tax shelter for the owners "real", shadier business. Really fun to look around in, but don't buy anything - it's all overpriced and the customer service is non-existent. youtu.be/9038zKL92rQ?...

Would have blown my mind as a kid also, since the Raspberry Pi hidden inside the cartridge that's doing all the actual 3D processing didn't even exist back then! In all seriousness this sort of stuff is cool to see but the Famicom is really only being used for the final drawing pass.

Oh I wonder what the upcoming successor to the Switch will be? I bet it'll be the WiiU2, with a partnership with U2.

Mr. Sheeran, my brother in Christ, you are worth $400 million. You can afford to break your contract and refuse to play any venue that mistreats your partner acts. That's not a political move. That's a basic human decency move.

Crunch happens. I worked 120 hour weeks for three months trying to get one project out. Never again, my family comes first. Small crunch times are a common reality in games, but always correcting for a scheduling mistake. Bosses who intentionally rely on crunch are exploiting their workers.
