Mark Ferrari's website was one of my earliest bookmarks when I started using the internet. Hypnotizing, masterful work that most definitely made a huge impact on me.

I liked the one where Adam Jensen slowly encroached onto the box art across regions

I personally believe a wide variety of interests and life experiences (I daresay...diversity) is crucial to crafting compelling media, but it's very silly to blame the samey-mess of AAA games on creative folks when it's yet again a money problem.

Seth Fulkerson @seth.games · 26/08/2026

Every game dev I've ever met - even the most tenured and senior ones - love, play, and are inspired by their fellow peers' video games.

Seth Fulkerson @seth.games · 26/08/2026

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!

This was a labor of love from many folks. The biggest shout out to Lightmopp for leading the way on development and the server side code. For me (I did the client side mod), it was a great way to learn more about networking (and dive back into my crusty old code). Please have fun and enjoy!

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

As before, my indie work as Seedy Eye Software continues unabated. Lots to look forward to there, too. ; ) I am grateful I get to do what I love for a living in a time where that seems more and more like a miracle. My eternal thanks to those who've supported me throughout the years!

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!

Seth Fulkerson @seth.games · 16/08/2026

Would love to know which ones (DM or otherwise)! Because I too feel this was the point I stopped caring for most major releases. There are exceptions of course (BG3 the biggest) but it's hard not to feel alienated sometimes

Seth Fulkerson @seth.games · 09/08/2026

Show's over, and what an excellent show it was! Got to meet so, so many Arzette fans in person which means the world to me (extra thanks to all who bought something!). My biggest thanks to the @liretro.bsky.social staff for being consistently amazing and inviting me. Until next time!

Hey friends, as a reminder I'm selling Arzette goodies at @liretro.bsky.social all weekend! I'm lucky enough to share a table with the venerable @jparish.bsky.social who is selling a few of his books. Come stop by the table just outside the amazing exhibit hall!

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!

Seth Fulkerson @seth.games · 15/06/2026

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.

Hopefully this means we will eventually get the actual Destiny 2 remastered as well. Exciting!

Realised I hadn't posted my Arzette animation from last year here yet. I was desperate to have a go at these characters lol, so I came up with whatever this is. Could def do it better now, but still quite like it.

I didn't play most 'classic' game consoles until long after they were off the market. This strange phenomenon is known as 'growing up lower class'.

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.
