Coal LLC

quote [ Fill your quota, or you will explode. ]

Pretty addicting incremental miner .. squarely outside the non-extractive camp. Main link goes to free prototype, full game on Steam only. There's a nice info sheet on incrementaldb.com (didn't know that existed) and a snarky Bluesky account. Trailer in extended, recommended via RPS comments.

The adventure games that inspired Yarnspin

quote [ my story-telling game engine, designed to be very easy to use, and it can run as a local build or in your browser. ]

Nice writeup on retro adventure interfaces for an engine that's powered by text files and a simple C compiler (didn't test, is multi-platform though) from Mattias Gustavsson

The Strange Urban Legend About Golden Axe and Death Row Inmates

quote [ And the 80s movie scavenger hunt to find the real sources of the game?s grunts and groans. ]

Golden Axe ? Wavering battle cry

Khee Hoon ? Writing

quote [ They also won the New York Videogames Critics Circle award, and was part of The Game Awards? 2021 Future Class. ]

Just another freelance writer looking for gigs with some great articles under their belt (e.g. Chinese gaming scene).

The Game Is Played With Great Feeling

quote [ In the back of an Uber creeping down Decatur Street, my driver, Ursa, this short-haired Black woman a generation above me, is reminiscing about last week?s Frankie Beverly concert, slowing down to repeat the soft consonants of a memory too sweet to keep quiet.  ]

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokemon

Cook Serve Forever

quote [ Do you often think about the impending explosion of the sun? ]

Sorry to link to the Steam page on this .. the Bluesky account of the creator is a bit more entertaining, while the actual homepage is weak on info. Quote is from an in-game TV ad.

If you know about the original three Cook, Serve, Delicious entries, this uses a different pattern, turning both sides of a controller into an arythmic chopping/stirring flow much like a drumming simulator. Trailer in extended.

Beloved Adventure Game Site's Pivot Into World Of Online Gambling

quote [ [While] these new owners are busy undoing a lot of the goodwill the site originally built up, many of the people who made Adventure Gamers a brilliant place to visit have quietly left the site, building a new destination for adventure games called the Adventure Game Hotspot. This was started by the former Adventure Gamers editor-in-chief Jack Allin back in 2022, and seems to be carrying on the spirit of the website in everything but name. ]

Main link goes to quasi-successor Adventure Game Hotspot. Quote via insightful article on Time Extension. This has been noted in other circles as well and happened rather abrupt.

Hypnospace Outlaw successor is canceled

quote [ This is not a joke and I'm sorry everyone. ]

This is sad game news. Learned about it on RPS. If you want to know, why it's so sad, you may read why Hypnospace Outlaw was so great.

Lazy Tetris

quote [ No timer, no score, no gravity. ]

This appeared in some feeds. Feels like I saw a similar thing on itch sometime ago.

Funny thing is: The original version of Tetris as devised by Alexey Pajitnov would not feature falling blocks either; that came only on the PC port through ? Vadim Gerasimov?
