I've been convalescing and in my hopeful delerium I ended up pondering "what cool novelty mice did I miss out on?" May I introduce you to this ray of sunshine, this beautiful prize, the MOUSE-BURGER

Yeah, feels like a huge mistake that could have been easily rectified by just reaching out to the community. Especially when they bothered to translate the KS page into English.

Another poke to beg for reviews. I really hate to do stuff like this, but needs must, etc. Reviews really help push the game forward, so do review if you can. Especially if you're a non-backer.

I knew I was weird for a while, but I didn't realize that I had traits that would easily be classified into certain clinical categories until well after I was an adult. And I didn't realize that I had face blindness until a few years ago when my wife told me. Explained a lot.

It's shockingly good. Gorgeous. Actually makes a realistic card game seem intense. Good mix of shonen & shojo sensibilities. And the OP is catchy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcCJ...

Over at @theguardian.com I reviewed Belmont’s Curse. This was a tougher review to figure out!.Super stylish! When it sings, it really sings! But something is off.. It also puts forth a terrible first impression and takes a while to reveal the good stuff. Clever at times, frustrating in others.

Really annoyed that they're releasing the next Path of Exile league on November 13th. It's a terrible release time - nestled amidst new old WoW and GTA6 and the OoT remake and all the other new games AND PoE2 v1.0 releases less than a month later. Plus they're cutting the current fun league short!

I'm hoping that it leads to legal action & restrictions against AI when these big companies freak out that everyone's going to steal their software (not just games). In our current world? Yeah, your prediction is likely.

Got 74 of the Cthulhu Saves the World maps working in Godot now with multiple layers, BGs, animation, and obstruction data. There's about 100 maps total in the full game. Gotta take a break because I've got other work to do, but I should finish getting all the maps in Godot this week sometime.

There's a theme at the beginning - new one was "Both of your videogame characters are robots" - and then we ask each other yes/no questions until somebody guesses right.

We started playing a videogame character guessing game on our podcast to bring some fun amidst all the negative news of late. The recording we did today (which will go up in about 12-16 hours) was especially entertaining. You can check out the Zeboyd podcast here: zeboyd.podbean.com

Conversely, it's fun when new party members join at set LVs and you get one that's higher than the rest of your party. Feels like validation for your playstyle and the fact that you're not grinding.

Would you buy a Switch port of Cthulhu Saves the World with some QoL improvements? Price would be around $5 USD.

Our early games like Cthulhu Saves the World used tilemaps. Starting with Cosmic Star Heroine, we made the maps as png files with everything already done. Similar to the prerendered backgrounds they used in a lot of PS1 RPGs (like FF7), except in the style of a 16-bit 2D RPG.
