I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

New blog post: How to 1 Credit Clear (1CC) Arcade Games I get asked about this from time to time so I thought I'd write a post about it. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but hopefully it helps make arcade games feel a little less intimidating. They're just games! duckberet.com/blog/how-to-...

People who talk about games need to hop onto the concept of scenes and start thinking of games through that lense instead of communities, fandoms, genres or individuals...or worst of all companies and IPs

Did you know gameing: Despite the music of the first level prompting you to "close your eyes," this is a remarkably bad strategy for winning at Taito's 1994 STG "Darius Gaiden"

i cleared the first loop of Elevator Action (arcade) on the hardest difficulty setting! it's the best game i've played in a very long time. it's like a run 'n' gun crossed with a maze game, and the enemies constantly trap you in silly ways. i highly recommend it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MmZ...

If a game connected with you & changed your tastes in some meaningful way pls do urself favor and dig up the devs, their past work, their scene/peers & their influences. Don't be like those ppl who find the latest game in a long tradition & treat it like an exception

In playing so much final fight I’ve come to the conclusion that a fantastic arcade title isn’t really adjacent to it being intuitive or easy to 1cc but rather how much it makes that gradient of improvement really clear and how much credits that ends up costing you

Small update on the Megadrive *rally game* ? I added sprites and did some optimization so CPU is still at 70% usage with a stable 60 fps. I'm a bit disappointed by the sprite width limit per-line. I wanted a lot more dense vegetation but it's not possible with sprites. I'll try other methods.

I often see talk among game designers, especially arcade/niche game designers about tricking normies into liking something or other. I think it's prob better to do the exact opposite and be as clear, blunt & honest as possible through your game's design itself

Whilst I'm righting 'wrong info on the internet that like 2 people might care about', Kenji Kaido the game's designer said he came up with the name ages ago & thought it would be good for a shmup. Then he used it for this game & no-one queried it, so it stuck. He smoked Camel cigarettes and ....

part of an IGCC interview with Kenji Kaido & other Taito staff about the making of Cameltry, published when the game came to the Egret II Mini. He's appearing on Hamster's stream tomorrow & will no doubt cover it there too

Since I'm the the one who wrote the article, I looked back into the code. For the two desert stages (Trick Trap Track / Whirlwind Break), if you cleared the round before it (Space Walker / Magician's Escape) with 1.0 seconds or less on the clock, the camel will appear. tcrf.net/Cameltry_(Ar...

"Time heals all wounds" mushy, sentimental, naively presents healing as inevitable entropy, external locus of control "All fires die but the ones you feed" logical, makes you sound like a jrpg villain, internal locus, gives merit to acceptance but also more healthy things like revenge and hatred

Summer’s blows in from the sea-breeze! 💿 1-2 Blue Topaz / J99

Cas, the smooth-coated otter, stands alongside his TommyKaira ZZ, by the seaside!

He’s standing on the sidewalk by some palm trees. Behind him, there’s the beach, deep blue ocean, and humungous fluffy clouds in the sky.

He’s dressed in his beach outfit, with his light-blue Hawaiian shirt and black shorts. His hair, like always, is fluttering in the wind just like the palm trees.
