HOLY INCREDIBLE THREAD BATMAN @paellagenius.bsky.social on the stunning animated launch trailer for previously featured game on Dialogue Tree, @brlka.com’s LOVE ETERNAL, a brilliant, spooked hardcore platformer that I think about every day.

Got tickets to see the Zelda concert with my best pal, the guy who introduced me to video games, so that will be a totally normal experience and not in any way a harrowing reminder of the passage of time.

literally surviving primarily because of the relationships i've made with developers who thankfully want to keep me around for their next releases. no big sprawling rpg with a giant music budget in my future, likely, but a girl can still dream of an industry that wants to take risks again :-)

Probably worth mentioning that my year+ journey from terror to acceptance to unequivocal love of UFO 50 left me in a position where I had no option but to pre-order this.

What does @bassicfun.bsky.social think game developers should take from UFO 50? Let him talk you through it. Episode 050 of Dialogue Tree, on @mossmouth.bsky.social's mad and brilliant constellation of massive games masquerading as tiny ones, is available wherever you get podcasts. LISTEN ⬇️

The best bits in Onimusha are when you beat a boss and feel like a God then immediately get cut clean in half by one of the basic grunts

I appreciate how this pulls apart the flaws in each system, but mostly, it’s my favourite Wolverine dunk because it references The Dudley Boyz.

“You should play it, preferably before reading the rest of this review, which is only going to spoil and dilute its squalid magic.” Deal.

Reset is an aptly stupid metaphor. You can restart a console, but you’re still playing the same game, dummy.

I post these things here, but always neglect to mention where they're made for. Dialogue Tree is also on Instagram and YouTube. IG is for trailers, verticals and stories. YT has that plus the show feed. They're as active, if not more so, than BlueSky, and probably not a waste of your time.

A slab, a killer, a shark. A trailer for episode 050 of Dialogue Tree. I explode instantly on contact with UFO 50, but fortunately, two experts lent their time to helping me understand this impossibly ambitious treasure trove of games. ⬇️

Will improving the meshlet rendering remove the stealth sections where you temporarily blind people with a button on your magic watch and just walk past them? (Yes I’ve watched reviews of this game and it looks toweringly stupid)

Thomas has nothing to be worried about. He’s a good hang, and possesses an enviable ability to articulate ideas about game design in engaging (and funny) ways.

Fiction, friction and full blown addiction. The latest episode of Dialogue Tree could only be about one game. Or rather, 50 of them. On episode 50, I'm joined by @buliaros.bsky.social and @bassicfun.bsky.social, aka Static Canvas and Bassicfun, to examine Mossmouth's mad indie monolith, UFO 50.

Been desperate to play Onimusha, and somehow missed that there was a demo on Switch 2. Completely authoritative and accurate impressions after an hour: - Bits where you run through linear world pressing Y to hack enemies up; bad - Bits where you fight boss and have to think and try; good 🤺

No new episode this week, so please enjoy this clip from the most recent one, a summary of my time with Mina, and a tease of something else. Episode 049 of Dialogue Tree, featuring The Duskbloods, Turnip Mountain and some nearly 10 year old Splatoon DLC, is available wherever you get podcasts.
