I need to go check these out - I've been following your posts in the critics lounge discord! The new game is looking great!! (...one day here I'll finally make an 'in production' thread for my game :P)

Really enjoying the dark and different vibe to this so far. Great to see a game from an old AGS solo dev.

I definitely trust that post more than my brain - I was MrNemo! (I have to hunt down whatever horror happens when you click that name hyperlink haha). I don't know why I thought that was 94, I guess the legend has been growing in my mind.. I remember it feeling like years before CoMI came out :D

Pretty sure I have the career and life I do now because when I first got the web 2/3 of my life ago, the first thing I typed into a search engine was “Monkey Island” and I found the SCUMM Bar website and its community.

30 years can't be right... Skyfox and I started the #monkey-island weekly meet ups in 94 or 95 I think and Scummbar preceded that... (or wait... I am actually an old man and that might be my memory going :D)

I wish this had more deaths and horror, to live up to its name a bit better... I also should have probably done the title screen in monochrome, since this looks rough. Want to do first person again sometime! jfrisby.itch.io/mallicious #alsoplaymygame #itsfree #adventuregamestudio

Happy 89th birthday to the World's Fastest Cartoonist, the legendary Sergio Aragonés! He arrived in NYC with $20 in 1962, found a home at MAD, and never looked back. I loved his work for DC - especially PLOP! - but he's also worked for Marvel, created GROO, & so much more! Long life & good health!

Been watching the old Disney cartoon VHS tapes, its amazing how much of this is burned into my brain and generally not available these days. (also terrifying/traumatizing)

Some water tests, it's a bit silly still. Also, I've gotten better at drawing since I did lots of this but I'm going to stubbornly try to make it all work still instead of fix it all (and then get better again, etc). #wip #RiseofPigMan

When i saw this being demoed wtbAdventureX 2012, I was blown away by how good it looked. I asked the dev how much he was charging. When he said “Nothing” I burst out laughing for several seconds before realization dawned and I said “Oh you’re serious.”

In 2017, about six months since I started studying pixel, I was invited to do the art & animation for “The Longest Day”, a point & click in the Victorian era, with humor ala Monkey Island. Unfortunately the project was canceled. Here is an art drop of some stuff that I made. #pixelart #gamedev

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage."

congrats! Is this book explicitly console-space or modern games? I can't find any classic adventure games/text adventures in the database? (searchable by year would be nice, btw)

I remember saving up about $44 in change for Sierra games back in 1992.. That would be $104 in todays dollars. I would love to price Rise of Pig Man $99.99.

I'm sure people are upset about this somewhere, but Disney totally just cranked the 'posterize' filter up and annihilated the line quality on a lot of the classic films.

Here's a walkbehind mask (including more tree than it needed too). I'm getting fancy with 'dithered' fade-in entrances using masks. #RiseofPigMan #ags

After hearing about it (via @ani-obsessive.bsky.social blog) and watching & loving it (in the absence of proper uk distribution, a good copy is on youtube), I keep recommending this to basically everyone - & of the people who then watch it, it has a 100% response rate of "yes, that was really good"!
