Master of Magic is easily one of my Top 10 favourite games, so I’m super excited to check this one out! Also, making a 4X game as a solo developer is an insane feat. Congratulations, Aleksandr, on shipping!

If you want to play some of the best FMV games ever made with modern controls, check this out! Huge kudos to the mod creator for making these masterpieces so much more accessible. Now, if only we could get that Pandora Directive remaster…
A few days ago I released a patch which replaces the unhinged movement system in Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon with mouselook + WASD. Turns out the sequel is pretty much the same, so here's a mod for The Pandora Directive.

Was out last night doing some location scouting and photography for Trucker 2056. This scene didn’t quite make the cut for sci-fi dystopia, so I reworked it as fan art. Introducing: Gabriel Knight in The Coven of Tavastia. #pixelart #retrogames

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #7: Ultima Underworld II. While I’ve already mentioned Warren Spector as an inspiration, I’m highlighting this game for its influence on Trucker’s mission design and dialogue. Here's an in-depth UW2 retrospective I highly recommend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCmn...

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #6: Games by Warren Spector. While Sid Meier is the more direct influence, I’ve tried to channel some of the magic from my favourite Spector titles too. Highlighting Ultima VII here—its writing and world-building are still pretty much unsurpassed to this day.

As an Ukrainian game developer I want to bring your attention and ask for your support to one really helpful initiative by our Save Life fund called "Dronfall". Fund developed a way of downing reconnaissance drones over Ukraine blinding Russian strategic capabilities

Dronefall — Fundraising for the downing of 1,000 Russian reconnaissance UAVs
Our goal — is to down 1,000 Russian reconnaissance UAVs. And to do it not with million-dollar missiles, but by deploying special covering groups.

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #5: Starship Troopers (1997). Like Verhoeven’s satirical classic, the game started as an over-the-top take on 21st-century fascism. As the thematic focus evolved, I toned these aspects down—but some influences still remain! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ckt...

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #4: Gabriel Knight by Jane Jensen. One of the first games to show video games as serious narrative art. Beware the remake, though—it kills the atmosphere with awful graphics and voice-acting and ruins immersion by removing the open-ended gameplay of the first act.

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #3: Taistelurekka, a Finnish board game from 1988 by Pasi Janhunen (boardgamegeek.com/image/421805...). The first version of Trucker I created, back in 1995, was based on this game. Written in Turbo Basic, it was called Trucker 2020. I might still have it somewhere.

Works That Inspired Trucker 2056, #2: UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com). Spent an entire summer playing this with a friend back in '94. For Trucker, I wanted to include action point-based combat as well and ended up with a mechanic where the AP cost is determined by the number of cards you have to discard.

Works that inspired Trucker 2056, #1: When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger (www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...). Read this at 11—far too young for its themes of alienation, sex, and drugs. The game's faction Al-Wasal and its exploration of LGBTQIA+ themes draw heavily from this book.
