I love the nods to Zelda II in this beautiful game. 🗡️
In Enigma Heart, you begin the story as a wanderer, traveling from place to place. Why? We don't know. After an encounter in the woods with some monsters, you've lost your memory.
The cool part? You can wishlist it on #Steam right now!

This is what I would call a "first pass" at a new area. I plan to come back and add details, maybe move things around a bit. But all the main elements are there...

Mohamed Mesbah and Don Quichotte films present "Still Playing", a documentary about Palestinian game developer @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's quest to loudly tell his people's stories through games, in a world where the violent powers that be have decided his people cannot have a voice.

Here's the link and some of the sweet thematic beepage. Seems to be expanding from the initial proof-of-concept into what might hopefully be a full lil game.

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (1996) was a fantasy arcade beat 'em up with light RPG elements by Capcom and a sequel to 1993's D&D: Tower of Doom. Two years have passed since the defeat of Deimos, the big baddie in Tower of Doom, but now a new evil threatens conquest. (a dragon's thread)

On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. #Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.
He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië. #BookSky

TES III: Morrowind is my favorite game, so it's fun to see how Dagoth-Ur and the rest of Morrowind were presented in 1994 by the first #ElderScrolls game: Arena! 🌋 I also enjoyed dropping audio "Easter eggs" here and there throughout this video. 😁

Let's play the roguelike Moria, as dwarf warrior Durin, on Golden Drake Linux! ✨ Moria is a simple text-based dungeon-crawler, much like its predecessor, but offers character creation, a starting town, and other extensions and improvements on the minimalist RPG framework established by Rogue. ⛏️
