Added a hit indicator (that thing around the cross-hair) and a cockpit alarm for when you're about to go boom! 🤯

"How can I support the game the most?" is a very kind question and no matter where you buy it is great! word of mouth for this game has had a big impact, so tell your pals and leave a review while you're at it ✌️

You can now collect trophies for the shelf in your space station hab by solving small puzzles or challenges. (And you'll also get Steam achievements later). 🏅

I'm just amazed how stupidly easy it is to run local LLMs with LM Studio. 😱 Always thought this was more something for the hardcore audience, but it's as easy installing the program and click "Download suggested Model" button and it just works.

Could you do me a favour & share this video pls?

Trying to see something... I know lots of people are experiencing lower YT views, but I want to see if boosting external links/shares makes a difference.

Plus, if you like old vs new T2 games. Pls have a watch :)

This little unassuming red line was a bit tricky. I'm not using any post-processing for the low resolution so I had to puzzle the line together from individual pixel-sized red squares.😅

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY

Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏.

The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley.

Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?
Lex, Word Fun One cover art. Wizard with helicopters. Incredible concept. The game allows you to become a wordy pilot of the Semantic Squadron, I've read! Word Fun 1 Based on a helicopter theme, this package provides learners with plenty of hands on action as they take control of their various aircraft. Its interesting graphics reinforce the fantasy aspect of a skill building word rescue assignment. Oppocopter uses words taken from a large pool of carefully selected exact opposite pairs, that have beeen graded into four levels of difficulty. The learner manoeuvres a helicopter to shoot down the correct opposite from a multiple selection. A scorebar counts correct answers, but if an error is made, the correct answer is highlighted. At each level, one of four speeds can be chosen to place a time limit on answering each question. Synocopter asks the learner to effect a rescue by helicopter, by matching a word with its exact synonym to correctly locate the target. There are three levels of difficulty and three speeds to choose from. Alphacopter provides a unique way to practise alphabetical skills as well as strategic problem solving skills. Using a helicopter to lift the top word block off one of three piles and then to move it to another pile, the learner is able to transform a randomly ordered pile of words into an alphabetically ordered array. Six levels grade this activity from a simple task to a most demanding one. The exciting action in all three games gives this package a particularly strong computer games appeal which is well balanced by its sound educational content. Walk across instructions and the very simple, clear, and consistent use of the arrow keys for all user controls, make it very easy to use for all age levels. Ages five - fifteen. Spelling Fun 1 menu screen. In fetching CGA! Lex, Wizard of Words commencement screen. Yet more lovely CGA!

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Rule Tiles are great for creating huge tilemaps quickly, but they are bad for scene transitioning when they re-calculate the whole map. Baking my tilemaps now reduced loading times when landing on planets from 4 seconds to about a tenth of a second. 😄

Cozy cabin activities in Dunwich Horror: Professor Armitage is studying the Necronomicon and Rice is doing chemical analysis.

Before and after screenshots of the planet-side. Pretty big difference I would say. 😄 And you can also find a new trailer on the Steam page for "Max Savage" showing the animations. ☺️

I heard you: you didn't like the art-style of the planets, so I decided to go back to the drawing board. Here's what I've come up with so far. 😊
