That really looks interesting! I liked Soleil a lot, but it kinda lost me in the latter half, where you just went back the whole original story. It missed more towns, more NPCs to interact with, more peaceful moments. Is this one better in that regard?
For #randomgamesaturday, it's Linkle Liver Story for Saturn! It not only has an amazing title, its story is also quite interesting: It started out as a sequel to Ragnacenty/Soleil, but in the end became its own game. I quite like the 2D/3D-mix, it's a bit of a pity though that it only runs in 30fps.

Okay, I just purchased it because of Thomas' suggestion. He's among my top 3 RPG recommendators.
Seriously, do NOT sleep on this game! It's a true hidden gem!
This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

A well-equipped Alundra. 28 hours in and with several optional hidden things uncovered.
We're playing the PAL version with Working Designs changes to the difficulty, and honestly, it hasn't been as rough as we feared. Only at the start, really, when all you've got is the dagger.

A very personal view on #suikoden (already published in German for @vsgde.bsky.social in the past) now on my website: www.rpg-o-mania.com/coverage_ret...
It's written so extensively and personal that you could mistake it for a @binaryscroll.bsky.social text!

one of the best Final Fantasy music pieces and an incredibly great remix.
I'd be all in for a modern Final Fantasy 3 :D

We could have so great 2D art nowadays. Why do devs so often resort back to pixelated visuals?
I mean, literally playable cartoons! Why isn't this more of a thing?
Something that looks good in my opinion:

It annoys me to no end that there is a genre called "Metroidvania" and it pays no respect to one of its earliest entries: Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap.
Why not call it Wondermetroidvania? eh?

Okay, I updated nothing for 80 days and the reaction was... nonexistant. No one reached out to me.
Almost no one reacted to any social media post.
It is as if no one is watching this stuff on my website anymore, except from AI bots.

Now available at most German train station bookshops: two big magazines on Metroidvania-style games and the big world of Nintendo - I wrote couple of background-articles for both of them. Isn´t that nice?

If you use #AI to create your podcast cover, I lose all interest. Even if I like the topic. I'd rather have a crude photo/screenshot with Comic Sans text on it. This crap not only robs artists & is bad for the environment, it also takes away every bit of visual personality your project might have. 🚮

Yup yup. I like the visuals.
And yo, it's different screenshots than in Mastodon.

I don't know why so many fishing minigames in RPGs use buttonmashing to reel in. This is so incredibly unrealistic. www.rpg-o-mania.com/ower-dms/gal...

Play-In-Progress: Ys X, chapter 6. It is "fine" right now, keeps me motivated. But boy did they bloat the game. Dana and Monstrum Nox were swift, evade-based games with a great story, Nordics is system upon system upon system with great characters, great music, a meh story and a convoluted gameplay.

I'm not trying to smooth talk, but Thomas does a really good job especially writing about RPGs and the like. If you can speak German, the M! games is a great read. It can also be purchased digitally, so no need to go to a Kiosk in a German speaking country :D
If you speak German: Don´t miss the current issue of M! Games! Among the stuff I wrote are reviews of Mario & Luigi and #DragonQuestIII along with a feature on this games amazing legacy. Also a wonderful look back at the time when Sega Saturn and PlayStation launched. I´m quite proud of that one!
