@czottmann Cyan did release a bajillion Myst remakes, but this is the first one for Riven! And they've released a couple of original games in the last decade: Obduction and Firmament.
Even this Riven remake apparently adds and changes a ton of things, though, so I'm super excited to experience the new stuff 😃
@aeva@ant_games@furry and it may need to do more than one down-up, depending on how realistic to want it to be: damped oscillations w/ same velocity, but progressively less vertical motion in both directions
Can anyone recommend accounts to follow that boost indie games and indie game devs? I've been having a tough time finding quality accounts since I joined the fediverse.
Visual novels are a blight on the indy games scene. An awkward fusion of game and fiction that degrades both art forms. No fiction is improved by reading it one line at a time, over a static image.
The problem is when VN authors branch out into other games. The medium teaches bad habits. The verbosity, limited choices, and tell-don't-show design always glare.
Mildly confused by @itchio's lack of activity around here. They have around 5x the followers here as on Bsky, but are more active there. Around 37.5x the followers here as on Threads, but some more recent posts there.
With the last one I suspect that may be related to how recently Threads came out, & with Bsky, I'm guessing it's a mix of recently opening up & simply not being a Facebook product making it more appealing.
A project called "Queer Them All" is offering to translate a queer game into multiple languages for free to celebrate the upcoming pride month! If you have a game with queer themes or are an LGBT+ developer, you can apply here:
