Dome-King Cabbage is at A MAZE in Berlin right now! Stop by and play the demo, get a free mini-zine, and say hi to my publisher. I’m not there, I’m at home developing my ass off— progress is steady despite the radio silence 🫡

The Mother series really hits emotional tenors that a bunch of other RPGs are missing. Like, look at what they were aiming for in the famicom era— they were butting up against stark limitations and still cooked. (Source: shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/ )

Itoi: With Giygas in MOTHER... I feel like we could have refined him so much more, but... well, it's out there now.
Miyamoto: I know. I really wanted to give it one more shot, right at the very end.
Itoi: For that final form, I'd actually given instructions for it to be like Butoh, that "dance of darkness." Something incredibly frail... like if they were right there in front of you, you'd feel like they'd collapse if you barely touched them. Eerie and beautiful... but that's easier said than done, right? (laughs)
Itou: That sounds... hard. (laughs)
Itoi: I wanted to depict the terror of the weak. But man, it was tough.

One night @minipete.bsky.social and I were possessed by a higher force. We broke down the symbolism in the Flimbo's Quest box art. Wow.. Life imitates art..

Its not worth the price! Me and my partner de-hobofied ourselves this past year, I would go with an alternative if I were you. For example, instead of a cousin I use this mossery grid notebook I found for half off (with a hobo cover). I use a sanby date stamp for the days I journal

Makes sense that the man who stole from Satoshi Kon's work multiple times would make an animated series with a plagiarism machine. (clip via @ani-obsessive.bsky.social )

Less than 5000 logs! Check out Spring and Chaos, especially if you’re familiar with Night on the Galactic Railroad or any of Kenji Miyazawa’s works

This is probably Matusumoto’s best work imo. Also saho tono, his wife, worked on it as well and deserves some credit. (These photos are from her book Twinkle)

It’s kirby’s 33rd birthday today and I just wanted to tell you, in case you didn’t know, that in the beta version of Kirby 64 the double-needle power up had the spear of longinus instead of a cactus

I'll be on a panel for Ludonarracon in May! We talk about games about games for gamers who game. Check out Dome-King Cabbage too, if you feel like it: store.steampowered.com/app/2092510/...

Picture of three panelists with text underneath that reads: Cobysoft Joe (Dome King Cabbage), Adam Pype (No Players Online), and Lucas Immanuel (The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time), discuss the logistical and narrative challenges of making games that are self-reflexively about games. In it they talk about where to draw the line between fiction and reality, the dissonance of interacting with a world supposedly designed for a different purpose, how emulating (or not emulating) other games breeds creativity, and how exploring video games through video games allows for unique storytelling possibilities.

40 years ago the first pages of Dragon Ball were published in Shonen Jump. I went from a kid drawing vegeta in my spiral notebook to an adult with vegeta’s hairline 😭 RIP Akira Toriyama, thank you for everything
