Avernum 4: Greed and glory, our new indie RPG, has been out a day. Happy with how things are going. Tons of competition out but sales are strong. We get to write more games! Thank you so much!

(When you know you like the game, Steam reviews really help.)

Very interesting video on an obscure Spanish tabletop setting that has some wild world-building. I remember seeing some of those character illustrations in forums ages lol

BTW, a remaster of the games will be release next month:

New video is up. This one took a while due to the release schedule and difficulty of the first game being higher than expected. It's about Hitoshi Yasuda and the Ghost Hunter trilogy, as well as the various behind the scenes weirdness that caused it to be forgotten.

I missed this when it came out, but @ftb1979.bsky.social made an amazing deep dive video into the Takeru Vending Machines:

These were ATM-like machines that would download & record games on disk in the 1980s/1990s. Really interesting piece of history!

Recettear is featured in the CRPG Book because of the work Andrew Dice & Carpe Fulgur did - they were pioneers in bringing Japanese games to Steam, way back in 2010. Many Japanese developers only took interest in Steam after seeing a doujin game like Recettear selling over 300k units.

Rest in Peace
Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

The Kirkbride part is so interesting. Not new things, but it's fun to hear him talk about using Redguard's manual to set the world he wanted to explore in Morrowind, and the process of making TES lore be more like conflicting points of view.

Also nice to see Ken Rolston is alive & well!
I haven’t had a chance to watch the full thing yet, but YouTuber Tom Evans has assembled an epic 8-hour documentary featuring an impressive number of Morrowind developers, including some who weren’t involved in my 2019 oral history. Pretty wild:

The artwork of #Wizardry by Jun Suemi featured on LOGIN Magazine, February 1986. Usual upscale/clean/retouch combo applied. A shoutout to @tadashidaiba.bsky.social for curating and sharing these and also all those involved in the scanning process. It goes a long way to get results like this!
