  1. But in early 2025 I picked up my #cga roguelike #gamedev project for #msdos The Chambers Beneath again, which I'd been working on since 2021 and put aside to avoid burnout. The Chambers Beneath was released in July 2025, and shortly afterwards, the #DOSember game jam was announced. Since abandoned projects were allowed for this non-competitive jam, I thought #Barbarians would make a good entry. cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-

  2. Made a post-jam slightly updated version of Space Cats with redefinable keys and joystick support, among other things. Thanks to my nephew Ed for finding a glaring bug no one had yet spotted (you could fly through the doors in level 3 without keys! Wrong wall tiles, bah)

  3. #GoingLive in about half an hour to (hopefully) finish my playthrough of Strife for #DOSember! I'm 2/3 of the way through the game, and I've gotta fight some REAL nasty stuff before I destroy the Order and kill their god. @jillybeans will announce when I start!

  5. My latest bit of #DOSember fun: setting up IPX networking! I finally got TCP/IP going successfully for the first time (after having had trouble getting packet drivers to work in the past), so this seemed like the logical next step.

    A bit of searching led me to the important details. There are two common ways of doing IPX:

    * The Novell IPX/SPX stack: LSL.COM, an ODI driver, and IPXODI.COM
    * Alternative method: a packet driver and PDIPX.COM or IPXPD.COM

  6. It's incredibly muggy tonight, so I'm taking the evening off to play precocious mystery-solving teen simulator Eagle Eye Mysteries.

  7. Got #SvarDOS installed and online! Tried a different packet driver for the Intel NIC and that worked.

  8. Well, seems those first few days of break had more things to do in them than I expected, so we kinda missed them... Let's just pick ourselves back up and jump back into our Eviternity II playthrough for more DOSember 2025, then, shall we?

  9. We're 2/3 of the way through #DOSember! I still have at least one non-gaming project I want to get done before the end of the month, but I've gotta catch up on streaming too.

    Planning on #GoingLive in about half an hour to play some #Strife! This is a first-person RPG made with the Doom engine, released in 1996 after a troubled production. It flopped in the market and may have been the death knell for its publisher Velocity.

  10. Had another great stream with some great people in the chat! Thanks to @eric and everyone else for dropping in.

    I beat the game on medium difficulty as the Mage. I played the Cleric last time so that just leaves the Fighter. And I suppose I should play the Deathkings expansion sometime too! But that's for later. There's still a bit over a week left in #DOSember so I'd like to get one more game in. I'm thinking Strife.

  11. DVD Plays: World of Aden: Thunderscape #Dosember !dosember - Danny tries to finish his most wanted to complete on stream game! twitch.tv/danvandam

  12. I've kinda been letting #DOSember pass me by as far as streams go, but I want to get a Hexen playthrough in at least. I'm gonna try playing as the Mage this time. Planning on #GoingLive in about an hour. @jillybeans will announce when I start!

  13. Based on the replies so far it looks like OpenVPN might be a better choice, if only because it also supports Windows and Mac OS rather than being Linux/BSD-only like VDE.

    In any case, it's probably too late to really get people on board for this #DOSember, but maybe something to aim for next year?

  15. Surprise Friday stream! After a lot of painful debugging we (hopefully) return to the riveting FMV intrigue of CITY 2000 - London!

  17. It's been great fun watching streamers play my silly Space Cats jam game. Favourite chat comments so far include:

    "good ass sprites"
    "good ass animations"
    "wow this is like one of those shareware games"
    "don't know if I'm going to like this if I have to shoot cats. Oh they're robot cats that's fine"
    "this is made by a guy who knows how to use Tiled" (innit tho?!)

    You can play it in the browser now too!

  18. Here's a little something for this #DOSember #MIDIMonday: the mellow, downtempo #OPL3 mix of the level 18 music from #Descent! Recorded over an analog line from my early-model Sound Blaster 16.

  19. Time for my first stream of #dosember! There'll be a launch party for Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle. Afterwards, I'll play through some of the games from the DOS COM Jam of 2024, new DOS games from a jam from earlier this year. Join the fun at twitch.tv/cyningstan #msdos #pym

  20. I've been playing, sorry I mean testing, a lot of Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle lately. It allows you to solve past days' puzzles, and I've been mopping up weeks' worth of puzzles at a time. You can see them ticked off in the calendar. I hope to be able to release this during #dosember #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga
