THIS FRIDAY @villainyvs.bsky.social guests on the podcast, talking about a little known game from a little known adventure game series. It's also definitely not my favourite adventure game of all time. Absolutely not. #monkeyisland #curseofmonkeyisland #podcasts #britpodscene #adventuregames

Finished (got 2 out of 4 endings) of @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social's "D3AD HAND" and it's DLC "R3D STAR". I've not known a DLC be about six times larger than the original game, but with D3ad Hand you play as Yuri, a solider in the Russian army who is stationed in a bunker to monitor nuclear weapons.

I've been musing about creating a Discord for Ask Us About Loom, because the Internet needs another discord server. But inspired by the Save Your Game/Mutant Menace joint server I've just extended the @pickadisc.bsky.social one to have channels for the podcast! Link in t'linkree in t'bio!

Over the past year, there's been some absolutely astounding games released. In my head there's a Super Smash Brothers Brawl going on between four games for my number 1 game of the year. *suddenly images a Point and Click game-based beat-em-up*

One day trip to @adventurex.bsky.social today! Managed to chat to Roses and Matt of Save Your Game, told a bunch of developers that I loved their games and also met up with my fellow members of the @adventgamepod.bsky.social team! I also realised I don't use Bluesky enough.

Just finished the Roottrees Are Dead. Really enjoyed this. Was quite difficult and had to consult the duck a few times (makes sense when you play the game) but overall a satifying experience.

Ask Us About Loom - An Adventure Game Podcast @askusaboutloom.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

A couple of days ago, I sat and played through Asterism by upcoming guest Claire Morwood (@shimmerglitch.bsky.social). A game that is more an interactive concept-album-music-video, as you traverse several mini interactive sections set to music.

Ask Us About Loom - An Adventure Game Podcast @askusaboutloom.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

TWO WEEKS TO GO (if you pretend I posted this yesterday when I was supposed to) until @shimmerglitch.bsky.social starts the return of the podcast in 2025 as she talks about @davekki.bsky.social's "Dark Nights With Poe & Munro"

#Pointnclickfriday (shut up it's not late because I didn't have time to post anything yesterday). First time really doing anything game dev related with a game called "Feels Like Summer" which is set at a music festival Which combines my two great loves: live music and adventure games!

Ask Us About Loom - An Adventure Game Podcast @askusaboutloom.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Finished The Will of Arthur Flabbington. Absolutely utterly loved this. I loved it's sense of humour. I loved the characterisation of both leads. The dialogue was great. The puzzles were challenging (had to consult a walkthrough a few times). I really liked it.

What *is* the plan, eh? I'm about to sit down and play 2020's Dark Nights with Poe & Munro in prep for an episode recording later this week. Have you played it? Did you enjoy it? Thoughts and comments are welcome and may get read out during the episode!

I've worked out how to do dialogs in cutscenes and such as well as doing a background! I feel as if this is a major milestone. #FirstTimeAdventureGameDeveloper

Things I never thought I'd find interesting: the differences in laying out stuff from Feels like Summer's original "backgrounds for a visual novel" and adapting/changing them for Adventure Game Studio. Take "The Avenue" for example...first image is original one. Second is the Point 'n' click one.
