New blog post time! This week's game is Cheese Chase, arcade maze action from Art & Magic, makers of the Amiga owl shmup Agony. You can see glimmers of potential with the focus on turnstiles and manipulating hazards, but the zoomed in camera and slippery movement really let it down: #blog #gaming

Cheese Chase

That’s the unfortunate thing with Cheese Chase. Most of the time, it’s just a bit too much of a pain to play, but when it calms down a bit and/or tries certain gimmicks within more reasonable envir…

Good article. For my part, I've never been able to survive on game work alone, from 2013 to now. It's always been the side thing. Everyone I work with is great and we're trying to do the best for each other. I often rely on people wanting to repeat work with me cuz new opps are slim.

I seem to be contrary to popular opinion again but I really like this trailer. It shows so much individual character as each participant joins the march. It tells a small story about who the key characters are without words, it has a narrative arc, and of course the music sells the whole thing.

NEO The World Ends With You is honestly taking over my brain a bit. I am so smitten with both TWEWY and NEO TWEWY. They complement each other so fucking well. I adore how their message of connection and expanding your world is shown in every aspect of each piece of art, in each game💜

Just saw that @kellymerka.bsky.social's great Sable piece is available today, give it a read! Very thoughtful breakdown on how the game's world reflects its history and creates a tangible sense of time having passed on this whole planet: unwinnable.com/2026/09/28/t...

A lot of y'all talk as if random encounters are some archaic thing that devs had no other choice doing, and that's so fucking degrading. Do you think they were idiots? Trust that the people who created the experience know what they're crafting. It exists for a reason.

After Ocean's conversion of Technos beat-'em-up Renegade, its arcade successor Double Dragon became a huge hit... and Ocean missed out on the licence. So in true Ocean fashion, they invented their own Renegade sequel instead. New post on Target: Renegade: www.superchartisland.com/target-renegade

Also, if you block the claude user it'll let you know at the top of the page if Claude contributed to the project you're looking at! Like you say, not all of these projects have it that obvious, but for the ones that do, this makes for a very large and bright warning sign

I want y'all to exercise some caution when it comes to a lot of these "recomps" of games coming out lately, cause all of them are just... very lazy ai ports, if you can even call it that. One tip is to go to the github page (which pretty much all of them have), and see if Claude is a contributor.

speaking of communities being run with people who care about nothing but their games (the pokemon rom side for this instance), the hackdex site is running with the help of generative ai. ...just learn how to patch a game, folks.

On their github it says:
Disclaimer: A good chunk of this code was initially written with AI assistance using Cursor. I later pledged to not use AI in future contributions, but due to life circumstances causing my time to be incredibly limited now, I made the difficult decision to resume using AI assistance in order to prevent Hackdex from going dormant and becoming neglected.
