  13. And BTW we just did a "stealth" re-release of Stellar Commanders out of Apple Arcade, which means it's now available on Android, iOS and Steam (and we killed the AppleTV version 🙈 ).
    It's free-to-play now with an optional subscription if you want all units. Apparently it's so stealth that not even our marketing people realised they maybe should put links on the homepage...

  17. Im Internet Archive lagern Sachen von mir, die ich längst vergessen hatte. „Maverick“ zum Beispiel, ein vor über 15 Jahren programmiertes kleines Game mit Sounds aus einer Improvisation meiner Band mit dem Titel „In Spain“. Auch wenn die zugrundeliegende Flash-Technologie längst in Frieden ruht: Knobelfreundinnen und -freunde werden sich die Hände (und die Augen) reiben.

  19. It's Swiss National Day, so here's a thread about the history of #SwissGames.

    With a few exceptions, the first computer games from Switzerland were developed in the late 80s. Titles such as the unfortunately-named Ball Raider for platforms such as Amiga, Atari and the indigenous Smaky.

  21. I keep forgetting to announce discounts for Kandria here, because I'm stupid as fuck, but it's currently 30% off, which I think is the record low?

  23. Qui se souvient de Ralph, le «Myst-like» en ligne lancé par Edicom et la société Bak en 1999?

    D'après son scénario, c'est aujourd'hui, 21 juin 2024, que le sous-marin HMS Republika quitte le port de Bergen.

    Impossible malheureusement de rejouer au jeu, Internet Archive n'en a pas conservé une copie

  27. Merci à Johan Cuda pour la création de la page Wikipédia (en français) de René Sommer.

    Inventeur et ingénieur suisse, il a joué un rôle important dans l'évolution de la souris informatique et dans le développement de l'entreprise Logitech !

    Il est aussi l'auteur du plus ancien jeu électronique identifié en Suisse :-)

  28. Petit événement pour le patrimoine vidéoludique suisse : Blupimania, un jeu vidéo de Daniel Roux, sorti il y a près de 30 ans sur Smaky avant d'être porté sur DOS, est désormais disponible gratuitement pour Mac, Linux et Windows !

    Cette adaptation est le résultat du travail de Mathieu Schroeter (@BlupiGames ), véritable artisan-restaurateur de jeux vidéo (et déjà auteur de la restauration de Planet Blupi). Bravo et merci 💝

  29. I recently backed Unpetrified, a very good looking video game that is family-friendly and allows players to take on the role of a golem, communicating with the natural world around them. I particularly enjoy these peaceful, exploratory games (A Short Hike, Haven Park, Journey, etc.). Check it out if you also like them :-)

  33. Squids don't fight their enemy by rising against them.

    They fight by cutting off the oxygen supply.

    They attack the enemy's sources of power, not power itself.

  35. En route pour une prise de parole à l'Orbital Game Jam, game jam organisée à l'#EPFL par des étudiant.e.s. L'occasion de leur expliquer qu'il y a eu du jeu vidéo sur le campus de tous temps, même si on a voulu nous faire croire le contraire, et de rappeler que les hautes écoles ont un rôle à jouer pour améliorer la compréhension de ce média et des métiers qui l'entourent :-) #SwissGames
