Accidentally got my partner addicted to Balatro :P

Awesome documentary “The making of Animal Well”. This game is such an inspiration to indy devs. I just love everything about it! #GameDev #IndyGames #AnimalWell https://youtu.be/LCOBpIFpmrc?si=nQwclO5zK_SvPdgE

But also... I can't even be mad... love these Stardew/Terraria inspired games.

If I was a bit quiet the last days. That was, bacause I had to play

RISE OF THE THIRD POWER .

And when I say, I had to, I mean it. This is one of those games one starts, and can't stop doing until the end. Because there is SUCH GREAT STORY TELLING. So much better than in most real Japanese #JRPG s – Soul Hackers 2, Trails of Cold Steel IV, I'm looking at you. Because those mentioned JRPGs have huge impressive 3D graphics and videos all over it but have not much of a story to tell. Soul Hackers 2 has totally flat characters; ToCS IV dragged the promising story line of its predecessors into a lengthy boring mess.

The Rise of the Third Power however has only 2D Graphics, not much more than what was standard back when the SNES ruled the JRPG world (think Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma). But holy moly, that story. Those characters. It was SUCH A JOY to play through.
Sure, if you read receptions of others some will complain about the (classical turn based) fight system (my opinion: it's totally ok, it even has depth), or the uplevel system (my stand: I loved it!) - I've seen both handled much more bad in Japanese JRPGs.
Yes, sure, it could be a bit more complex - but that is NOT what I'm interested in when playing a JRPG. I want a good gripping story, with great characters, and yes (!), Rise of the Third Power just delivers. Did I cry during playing? Yes. Not only once. And often out of happiness. When your characters have made it through some massive shit, and then there is some kind of a great rewarding situation, that makes all the pain worth it... I can't stop it, it affects me emotionally. What better can you say about a "silly computer game"?

90/100 if you ask me. Yes. That good. With so little.

For the last couple of years, @eniko has been slaving away on a kickass looking retro, queer, indy, Mario 3 style game by the name of Kitsune Tails.

Now she's nearly finished AND it's her birthday! Please go show her some (algorithmic) love by :BoostOK: boosting and wishlisting Kitsune Tails on Steam.

The site/trailer/Steam wishlist link for it is at:

Thanks for your support of a friendly #queer, #indy gamedev!

Worknote: Game Engines für Poeten

Zum anderen nehme ich das »Poeten« im Titel dieser Worknote durchaus ernst. Denn hier geht es – wie im Untertitel von Anna Anthropys Manifest – um die Frage, »wie sich Freaks, Normale, Amateure, Künstler, Träumer, Dropouts, Queere, Hausfrauen und Menschen wie Du und ich eine Kunstform zurückerobern« können. Also »Poeten« meint alle, nur nicht die Spieleindustrie. 🤡 http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2021/10/2021101901.html #GameDev #IndyGames

Neu in meiner Bibliothek: Rise of the Videogame Zinisters

Nachdem ich hier im Kritzelheft schon zweimal auf Bücher von Anna Anthropy hingewiesen hatte, machte mich Knut J. in einem Kommentar auf ihr (vermutetes) Hauptwerk »Rise of the Videogame Zinesters: How Freaks, Normals, Amateurs, Artists, Dreamers, Drop-outs, Queers, Housewives, and People Like You Are Taking Back an Art Form« aufmerksam. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2020/01/2020012101.html #CreativeCoding #GameDev #IndyGames
