Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Ubuntu now has a built-in task manager UX via the Resources app that reminds me of what I loved about Process Explorer on Windows back in 2001 (thanks, @markrussinovich.bsky.social !); especially the designs that evolved into the Performance tab in Windows 8 and later versions of Task Manager.

#VideoGameBacklog American Fugitive (PC, 2019) is an open-world, top-down action game from @fallentreegames.bsky.social with decent graphics and gameplay. You’re an innocent fugitive tracking your father’s killer while sneaking around and becoming less innocent as you go, GTA-style. #indiegames

Steam has toterated and outright ignored claims of review-bombing, but this game called Plantation Simulator is a step too far. It needs to be banned from the platform ASAP. Report it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4495510/...

The game description of Plantation Simulator. It reads "mature content description. The developers describe the content like this: in this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive, if you whip your black person too much, they will die." Absolutely appaling

#VideoGameBacklog Edna & Harvey: The Breakout (PC, 2008) is an early @daedalic.bsky.social p&c adventure following a girl & her talking stuffed animal, giving some Sam & Max feel. The puzzles can be opaque & the dialogue rough at times but it's silly & worth a quick playthrough. #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Dungeons 2" (PC, 2015) is spiritually Dungeon Keeper. The omniscient narrator is fun & visuals are good. The UX didn't click right away but it's still great to see this concept/genre continue. Sequels continue, thanks to @kalypsomedia.bsky.social! #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Double Cross" (PC, 2019) is a cartoony 2D platformer by @13amgames.com built around interdimensional teleportation and a psionic sticky hand. Controls, level design, and music are all fun. Tough to grab screenshots b/c the action moves fast! 😀 #indiegames

#VideoGameBacklog "Aveyond 3-1: Lord of Twilight" (PC, 2014) is an RPG with nice art, music, and vampires. The lore is plentiful & dialog is funny. It's easily the most impressive use of RPG Maker I've played. The dev finished 3 via episodes & made a sequel! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

#VideoGameBacklog "Ape Out" (PC, 2019) is a wild top-down smash-em-up, pitting an orange gorilla against armed security. Art & music are fresh & fun. Dark corridors and tight view angles make it particularly challenging. Thanks @gcuzzillo.bsky.social! #indiegame

#VideoGameBacklog Before 2077 there was "Anachronox" (PC, 2001) from Ion Storm. A #cyberpunk role-playing game with over-the-shoulder wandering & 3rd-person, turn-based fighting. It has a great story and perfectly blocky 3D models. Definitely a gem you should search your library for. #retrogames

#VideoGameBacklog "Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy" (PC, 1999) is a unique 1st-person 360 prerendered/FMV point-and-click adventure by Microids (who went on to do Syberia). Fantasy creatures and lore abound. The puzzles did not feel super inspired but it's a fun Myst-like world. "Ovo?" #retrogame

ROM site Myrient will die end of March, citing costs and tech undermining their chances for donations as reasons. Apart from missing legal support, funding is a big issue in the preservation space. Just like us, many efforts only barely survive thanks to passionate volunteers.
