it's simple: everyone on earth should make at least one game in bitsy, twine, puzzlescript, zzt, rpgmaker 2k/3, and pico-8. all of them have robust tooling, smart creative constraints, browser exports, and lively communities.

Terrified to announce that Parasensor's demo is OUT NOW ON STEAM 📣😱 Become telecom technician Marisol and explore our freaky Footscray-inspired quarantine zone. 1 demo play = 1 flower for artist @unseconds.bsky.social who we suspect hasn't smelt a flower yet this spring :') #indiegames #indiedev

Ogre Run @ogre-run.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is a modern example of a JRPG which challenges the preconceived notions of the genre, and there is no need to wait ten years to retroactively praise it as a good game if we can do so right now: ogrerun.com/2026/10/06/q...

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow and the Weird New JRPG
What makes Qlipah bold is not strictly its combination of genres but how those genres are combined

Ink and tone drawing.

A smear of three faces caught in an abstraction of their own hair, their features blurring in a sequence left to right from a vacant expression to one crying. They are surrounded by screens of various sizes; on them are projections of malformed eyes, cellular tissue, and vague symbols.

i had started a replay earlier this year with the intention of cataloguing when the tips unlock, since they're kinda vital and a replay doesn't notify you which ones are unlocked when (since you have already unlocked them)

It's fall sale season once again. A perfect time to cozy up with a good book, or perhaps a series of visual novels about a nun who got stuck in the pear wiggler store.steampowered.com/bundle/71001...

The artwork of Romancing SaGa 3 by Tomomi Kobayashi used on the back cover of the remastered OST and as part of a post card set, albeit with a different color tone. Most likely it was used for other stuff as well. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.
Romancing SaGa 3 clean artwork by Tomomi Kobayashi used on the back cover of the remastered OST and as part of a post card set, albeit with a different color tone. Image depicts two entities dressed in intricate attires: the one one the left has angel wings and seems to represent the good, the one on the right has demon wings, a horned mask and seems to represent evil They're both staring at a baby hovering in midair with an aura around, with some orange and red toned lilies below next to an ornate sword which is carved onto a skull on the ground with blood dripping to the floor and splattered on some leaves. The background features some contrasting colors with green and purple being the more prominent.

It's in everything! It'll actually be the first time i'm playing through the whole trilogy so I'm very curious to see it evolve in across the works themselves but i have a feeling that will just hammer that notion home

launching in xbc3 does look extremely funny though, the spin animation is so extreme... doing it in both games does give out a hearty chuckle :]

illy @castleinthemist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
(i kinda prefer 13's way of juggling because it is so reliant on ensuring you are timing the auto attacks well enough that all three party members are staggering their hits in such a way that it's a constant combo chain, but once you have it it's piss easy)

illy @castleinthemist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
i launch a behemoth and do my best to juggle it before it tips into the hp value where it stands up and resets its health and stagger bar; i do a break>topple>daze>launch combo into a chain attack and delete the boss's hp so much i skip pass the enrage and overkill it

been "indulging" this year and playing triple a rpgs (aargh) and the recent ones have been a replay of ff13 and a first time playthrough of xbc3 and these things are so alike at times

Pop'n TwinBee is a somewhat oddball shmup that rejects genre tradition in focus of resource-driven, mechanics-laden chaos. I take a look at the implications of its unusual design priorities and how it slants an unsuspecting format into a lovely co-op experience. faearie.neocities.org/posts/popn-t...
