Happy 30th anniversary Beneath a Steel Sky! 🌆 🎂 🎉 (March 1994)

I still remember the amazing intro on my Amiga 500. I was immediately drawn into the adventure 🤩

Thanks to the work of @Laserschwert we now have Loom 's manual, book of patterns, and hint books restored and uploaded on Archive.
They were originally meant for the Loom LRG re-release but that did not pan out.

@dosnostalgic @damianogerli I haven't checked the contents of the CD, but on the USB key, there's only the Talkie version 🤷‍♂️

@dosnostalgic @damianogerli I also assume that audio drama (French version) I gave to Laserschwert was not included on the audio CD.

The beautiful interfaces of Bitmap Brothers games 👊 ✨

Designed by Daniel Malone (Speedball 2, Chaos Engine) and Mark Coleman (Gods, Xenon2)

SO, I got confirmation on Twitter that the artist is partly using artificial intelligence on his drawings (thanks @ThreeOhFour for his expertise and the link)

Very intrigued by this remake of Dune on an Amiga AGA ✨

The graphic designer has been working on the project since mid-2023. All that remains is to code the game (he has found a programmer)

@gabrielesvelto @smoku The person is an experienced graphic designer who works in the demo scene. I doubt he uses AI for his drawings 🙂

@dosnostalgic Wow! I played this game on Atari ST.

First time in a long time I've seen a screenshot.

The game used raytracing.

@dosnostalgic I think so too 🙂

So happy to own the vinyl record of The Quest for the Time Bird 🤩 (La Quête de l'Oiseau du Temps in French)

I've digitized the music composed by Charles Callet for everyone to enjoy 🎶

Happy listening! 🎧

According to this article in the French magazine MicroNews (No. 22, June 1989), the vinyl record was released in June 1989 💿

That's 4 months after the release of the game, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this month! 🎂 🥳

Wow, la DA d', je m'attendais à du lourd mais là c'est quasiment l'esprit de ToeJam & Earl 2 qui est convoqué. Attention à vous mouiller la nuque si vous débarquez de .

@Moggy @CorentinLamy Sachez qu'il y a une démo sur Steam si vous voulez le tester ! J'adore la direction artistique et la bande son ❤️

Mais ça n'a pas grand chose à voir avec Toe Jam & Earl 2 😅 (à part les couleurs pétantes)

@CorentinLamy @Moggy Ce twist m'intrigue ! (je n'ai joué qu'à la démo)

Généralement, on célebre les anniversaire des sorties. Mais ici, il nous a semblé que la mort de ce jeu était plus importante ⚰

Il y a 10 ans (et un jour) était retiré des plateformes Flappy Bird. Véritable phénomène éclair du JV mobile 📱

Depuis, il revient pour des clins d'oeil, des tuto Unity sur YouTube, des exercices dans les écoles de game design. Il a aussi aidé une industrie a émerger au Vietnam, son pays d'origine.

Je vous raconte ça sur @lemonde @pixelsfr 🐤

@Kocobe @lemonde @pixelsfr Je me souviens en avoir réalisé un à l'époque dans le cadre d'un entretien pour un poste de programmeur JV.

C'était amusant. Et en plus, je crois avoir ajouté quelques features en plus par rapport au jeu original 😀

As promised, here's a short thread comparing the collector's edition of the Loom box (on the left) to the original (on the right).

As you can see, the differences are quite slight (box size, colors).

🧵 1/

#Loom #LucasfilmGames #LimitedRunGames #AdventureGame #PointAndClick #RetroGaming #DOSGaming #Amiga #AtariST #BigBoxGames

There are also some (minor) differences on the back of the boxes.

For the Collector's Edition, the screenshots are from the VGA version. The Lucasfilm Games logo has also been updated.

Here are two sides of the box (left and top).

On the top and right sides, the logo is reversed (as on other boxes made by LRG).

Note: The original box is a little sunfaded on the left side.

Here's the Book of Patterns 📖

The one in the original box has rounded corners. Note the little red swans hiding the blue text are aligned differently. Both books have granulated paper (a little thicker for the collector's edition).

I played the Crypt Custodian demo 🐈‍⬛ 🧹 👻

A pretty zelda-like game where you play as a black cat. The game is smooth and very pleasant to play!

I'm won over 😍

Got a beautiful box today! 🌌 ✨ 🦢

It's a collector's edition of the original Loom box with extra content 🥰

Let's take a look inside!

Here's what you find when you open the box 🪄

A CD containing the game and the soundtrack, plus a USB key with the VGA version.

But there's even more! 😀

So there's also a huge, beautiful poster. But also the audio drama on CD (normally in several languages, as I've supplied the French version).

As well as the Book of Patterns, the copy protection glasses and a very nice logo patch 💝

Hey, the poster is double-sided! So here's the other side 💫

All in all, I'm very happy with this collector's edition 😍

Maybe tomorrow I'll take some photos to compare it with the 1990 edition.

Et si je faisais un thread des jeux finis cette année ? En tout cas vous ne pourrez pas m'en empêcher.

En janvier :

  • HROT, quake-like soviétique plutôt marrant et bien fait
  • Humanity, Lemmings 3D qui se réinvente en permanence
  • Ori and the Will of the Wisps, faux metroidvania parfois frustrant

Humanity

@CorentinLamy L'interface, c'est ce qui m'a empêché d'aller plus loin que la démo. C'est dommage, car il suffit de pas grand chose pour que le jeu soit plus plaisant à jouer.
