Found this screenshot of the original editor for Ultima Underworld over at reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Ultima/com.... Beyond fascinating, really.

One issue with the internet defaulting to a single language and gaming focusing so much on the US experience is that we forget other countries also interview devs Here's a French interview where Myamoto confirms that Link is inspired by Peter Pan www.gamekult.com/actualite/mi...

Wouldn't it be weird if dogs were the ones with long lives. So you'd have "this is our Yorkshire Terrier Max, 300 years old, passed down through the family from ancestors we don't know even know the names of."

Some new followers so it's time to reintroduce myself. I'm Dan, I worked as a game developer and now I work at Unity. I'm interested in making RPGs. And I've been building a catalog of computer RPGs from the start, with details of their features and how they were made.

Isn't it beautiful? I've added another member to the vintage computer replica family. The PiDP-1 now joins the 10 and 11. Man, computers back then had style.

A small replica of a DEC PDP-1 console panel with lots of switches and LEDs indicating the contents of registers, memory and the CPU instruction among others.

Untitled — Zdzisław Beksiński, 1978

Cleaning the street corner in a surreal City there are a couple of tall buildings that are honeycombed with openings that are not are not arranged in the in the orderly patterns that usually Mark human made structures instead there much more organic looking the building in the foreground has balconies as well as openings and a sculptured belief of a human face on a wall. Down in the street are a couple of tiny human figures

I've fiddled around enough and now, and expect to post the deep dive on dungeon generation in Rogue later today. There'll a small widget at the bottom that shows the map generation process step-by-step.

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b)
• insensitive to music (38b)
• despises death and the dead (38b)
. is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b)
• can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b)
• cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b)
• can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4)
• sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4)
• has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16)
• named "Count Wampyr" (1)
• can determine and prove if people are sane (24)
green taper with blue flame in Count's house (43va)

There are a group of people at work who are each trying to release some kind of game before Christmas. I'm tempted to join but it's hard to come-up with a good concept that I could realistically make in that time. ... maybe something card / dice or both based

I don't how soon I'll get to it but I've also been taking a look at Treasure of Tarmin. This is a visualisation of it's level generation (some liberties taken here to make it more visually readable, but the final output is the same)

Started on the first campaign map. Just blocking out the areas and linking stuff together so the graphics are mostly temp art. Won't be showing much to avoid spoilery contents. Also, map now supports pillars! It was a pain to add in due to em not sharing the same coord system as tiles 💀 #JSDungeon

One project I'd like to do on the howtomakeanrpg site is an overly detailed character generator, so it'd output something like a character sheets but with no stats just prose. To add this I'd first need a generator section for the site...

Got the Fenlason Hack code running locally. The final level is a maze - a neat idea! (It was a bunch of 16 year olds who made in the early 80s.) Hack will be the next game entry I add to howtomakeanrpg.com/r/l/g/. I also want to deep dive into how #Rogue did it's levels as a separate article.
