Last time at All the Adventures I gave the story of Sumlock, reaching through the history of calculators, up to where they were publishing VIC-20 games. I have now finished the game and I explain the details, including one puzzle I can only describe as "ludicrous".

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.

Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?
My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

ROUTINE es una de esas ballenas blancas que llevamos más de una década persiguiendo. Un videojuego que anunciamos cuando teníamos pelo en la cabeza.

Christmas miracle - guy called trap15 just began working on a translation for Busin 0 for PS2, arguably the coolest Japanese Wizardry ever.

Said not to expect anything for at least a year, but it's exciting news nonetheless!

La jodida mentira del crecimiento infinito ha alcanzado un punto en el que solo puede crecer en beneficios a través de los recortes de personal porque obviamente no van a palmar pasta ellos. Los objetivos son irreales pero sin esos objetivos no habría inversión externa que es lo que quieren siempre
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Recently, on the Norwegian videogame site spillhistorie.no, two new discoveries were posted, games that were previously lost. I've written about one already; the other discovery was of a very early Tolkien game, and the first original adventure we have in Norwegian.

1982 was very early for Japanese adventure games, with only a small number of releases. Takara Building Adventure thus is one of the earliest adventure games in Japanese, but it was not generally available...

...until today.

Includes some unexpected history!
