My "if I won the lottery there would be signs" item would be a 1985 Nissan 300zx. Look at that god damn interior and dash.

Apparently the US government just recently decided to make an anthropomorphic rock mascot named Coalie which uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is hilarious because I've had Rocky in my game for nearly 4 years.

Thanks! I know you look through a bunch of telescopes through Myst and Riven and there was a constellation puzzle where I think you had to use dates to find a constellation pattern (or something like that):

I've got a puzzle involving constellations and I just wanted to show off the satisfying sound effects for the mechanical bits of telescope. (sound on, naturally)

I've been trying to find something to play and bouncing off of a lot of games lately. Decided to pick up Dark Fall 1 + 2 on Steam on a whim ($1.99 for both!) Just started the first one and I'm surprised I missed these growing up! Just look at them! THE ATMOSPHERE.

It's fun to look at things now vs some of the early placeholder things:

Placing in some characters really contributes a ton towards making this thing feel like a whole ass game.

You can rig that bad boy up to do some pretty decent 3D scanning. I was experimenting with it for a bit for game dev purposes:

corpsepile @corpsepile.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I've been playing around with the aesthetic of having some Rust Valley characters be 3D (as compared to FMV) and also having them move at a different frame rate than the rest of the environment.

@shenanigansen.bsky.social I was going through GIFs of stuff I made a few days ago and came across this one. I then realized it was very close and I think I've got the day right? Happy bday!

Added an aquarium to the abstract museum because why not. Going for the Windows 95 screensaver vibe.

The confusion that would ensue right after I put my hand on it.

I played the original multiple times and it's an amazing horror N64 version of those Cabela's hunting games. Just look at this bad boy!

I'm playing Life is Strange: Double Exposure and noticed this band poster out of the corner of my eye and my brain instantly recalled the reference. Apparently, the Best Buy Y2K reminder sticker is solidified deep in my memory.

Whenever I get around to making promo for my game, I'm gonna slap on the RSAC rating graphic. Not that boring old ESRB nonsense.

Yo I did not know about this shit lolol down the rabbit hole I go

Uhhhh, how am I only just now learning about the Myst-like game Obsidian from 1997?????

When you come to Rust Valley don't forget to visit the fissure in town that's emitting green gas! It's a super popular attraction! And it's free!

I honestly do not remember a thing from it (also never beat it) and have also been thinking about picking it back up soon! In Googling this morning I also just learned there was a 3D sequel!??

corpsepile @corpsepile.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I feel like these were kinda "bargain bin" games, maybe? I know Safecracker was.

OK, I'm a bit late to this but if you like liminal spaces + analog horror + sci fi environments, then you ABSOLUTELY NEED to play ROUTINE. I have nothing but positive things to say about this game - 10/10. A beautiful audiovisual horror experience, wrapped neatly in a ~6 hour experience.

Fun fact, when you see my arms know that when I took all the photos I was not wearing a jacket or a sweater no i am wearing one of these

Here's the obligatory Silent Hill 2 reference in my game:

Thanks! now I just gotta make sure I don't overdo it

corpsepile @corpsepile.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

I will say though, in my research I was surprised to find out how early they were adding lens flare in to games. Like I guess it was even in Ocarina of Time??

corpsepile @corpsepile.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

While I *am* trying to replicate the tech and game design of 90s point and click adventure games, I've also chosen to let myself include things that may not be period appropriate but look cool. Like this lens flare!

ahh thank you for posting these! Nice surprise to see Ames again randomly! Here's a random picture of when a buddy broke in to one of the Towers (empty at the time) and set the lights up this way ahead of the rivalry game LOLOL

I'm using the magical JPGPU by @ompu.co to simulate the compression effects of a QuickTime video clip being played within a pre-rendered game 😊

GOG is having a classics sale right now and you can re-live my childhood for under 10 bucks! Once you complete all four, i will send you my social security number. You will then become me. (Avoid bees, im allergic to bees)

Needed some promotional movie cardboard stands for the theater in my game so I present to you: - Family Vacation 6: Dimension X (with face cutouts for photos!) AND - Try Hard to Not Die (starring Gunner Hogg and Kelly Melons)

Today's "extremely time consuming but not necessarily visually cool™️" update was rigging the medallion puzzle to allow free placement of each AND pick-up/rearrangement of already placed medallions. Amazing BGM by the talented @connrar.bsky.social !

I'm starting to finalize certain areas in Rust Valley but the "Tourist Trap Museum" always felt like it was missing something... I finally figured it out today! ✨TAXIDERMIED ANIMAL DIORAMA✨

The hospital shoot out scene is already amazing but then it's even more impressive once you know this bit:

corpsepile @corpsepile.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I want to start this year off on the right foot, so I think it's time I come clean and tell you all that my game has been nothing more than an elaborate ruse to force people to look at my vacation photos.

This was working fine a few months ago and I didn't touch a thing over here. I mean. I guess it's still kinda working.

lol I hear ya. I really wanted to buy this thing but you can tell it's just going to shred apart if you breathe on it:

A while back, I did actually start working on a mechanic to let you have a cig from time to time. Here's one of the UI elements. Still on the fence about implementing it though!

Since Valley of Guilt takes place in the 90s, here are some cool areas in my game to take a quick smoke break in:
