Yep, it's a totally separate thing. These derivative-looking games are getting funded and marketed because they sell, or at least, sell to demanded expectations.

The team at CRG has worked very, very hard on this (I have been cheering them on and helping coordinate parts of development). A huge amount of time has been spent towards ensuring the game is faithfully reproduced with QoL updates and other awesome additions. Look forward to it!

I am very pleased to announce that Archipelago multiworld randomizer support has been added to Arzette! Many, many hours were spent getting this ready. This is a community made modification for owners of the game on Steam. Go here for details: bit.ly/ArzetteRando

Hey friends, brief professional update: I have joined the lovely folks at Clear River Games, with the role of internal development director. There I'll continue my work of leading dev on modern re-releases of classic video games. Many exciting projects on the horizon I can't wait to discuss!

I'll never stop singing the praises for Arzette. 🫡

An excerpt from the linked article, with a passage from Seedy Eye Software (presuming it's from Seth Fulkerson)

A screenshot with Klive, an early boss, is partially visible.

Seedy Eye Software

Games: Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore

Steam page

“Generative AI operates on theft, both creatively and of our planet's resources, in order to churn out uninspired garbage.

Arzette as a project, and by extension, Seedy Eye Software is by its nature extremely artist and human-creative driven. One of the main guiding ethos during Arzette’s development was to empower the artists, animators, designers, and writers to bring all of their creativity to the table. In many ways it is the polar, direct-opposite to generative AI content. It will never be touched by a ten-foot pole for any part of anything we ever make. Doing so would directly go against the entire purpose of the reason I develop video games.”

I played the game recently and I kinda love it. Got a kick when I found out Vinny from Vinesauce was voicing in the game. Give Arzette a shot if you got some cash around, it a very silly time. #Arzette #indiegame

I'm very lucky that many games I've worked on have been available physically, and that Arzette got a physical release (including retail in Europe). As other devs will also tell you, there is no better feeling than having a physical manifestation of your work in your hands.

I finished "Fuck's Quest II" last night after seeing a few folks talk about it. Unreasonably fun, surprisingly clever at times (insane to say about a game with a fart spell), and, for those who know me, a game firmly in my wheelhouse. I recommend it!

Myself and every person I work with professionally right now (including those who have been programming longer than I've been alive) refuse to touch AI with a ten foot pole. Maybe I am in a bubble. Speaking only for me, I will fight it tooth and nail.

I can't be mad at dying repeatedly in Moon Child Friend Edition, even if I wish I had more power than the friendship one (the snakes and birds are not friendly), because I get to return to the title screen to let the theme song soothe my frustrations before diving back in.

Just wrapped up my first completely blind playthrough of @arzettegame.bsky.social. Incredibly charming, genuinely funny, and, more importantly than being an homage, it is unsurprisingly excellent. I loved every minute. Big congrats to @seth.games and the dev team. And a big hello from OBKY, Dopply!

Digital portrait of a young woman in fantasy garb wielding a sword above her head, looking over her shoulder with a smile. Character is Arzette, from the video game Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. Arzette is a young dark-skinned woman with long red hair with streaks of blonde throughout. She has pointed ears like an elf, and green eyes. She wears a jeweled tiara, befitting of a princess, and wears a pink and purple short-sleeve tunic and purple gloves. In her raised right hand she wields her Smart Sword, a silver scimitar with hot pink sharpened edges and a golden eagle's head acting as the hilt.

The sad truth of the 90s was that no matter much they begged or pleaded nobody in popular entertainment could be stopped

It's the cover for the ps1 game no one can stop mr domino. Mr domino is a smiley domino piece sith arms and two dots for eyes and 5 dots for a torso. He's running along a teal and purple checkerboard with other dominos on the field and a yellow billiard ball.

Jim Carrey as the mask is looking at himself in the mirror. His face is green and he's wearing a mustard yellow suit and hat with a turkey feather (I think) in the hatband. This is the scene in which he saga "somebody stop me."

Joe did great work on those screens. They look factory fitted. I also had to edit some graphics for one of the games and ended up using Deluxe Paint loaded from floppy disk on an Amiga 500 with a 30 year old mouse. It was quicker and easier than using any of more modern tools, and more fun too.
