Kirby Super Deluxe has some rather large bugs, that make for very interesting glitch art...

Blehhh....

Brought home my old iMac G3 from storage today, and it booted up fine, once... and then wouldn't again.

I guess parts for them are fairly cheap, but it still feels really bad...

Hey, FYI: There's a charity speedrun stream benefiting the Transgender Law Center this weekend!

Schedule:
horaro.org/puwp2017/schedule
Stream:

The runners include GDQ alumni like PrincessProto and EnchantressOfNumbers, and the game line up is actually really unique with a heavy focus on romhacks and randomizers. The final block on Sunday night is runs/races of all three of the Zelda 1, 2 and 3 randomizers in a row.

*sees another game jam being talked about online*

Make a game in a week? I don't think I could make one in a whole year...

I wonder how a tactics/strategy game would be if the main gameplay wasn't designed around combat, but around exploration and treasure-hunting instead?

Battle Hunter for PS1 did this somewhat, though combat was still important in many ways... but its main focus was on finding a target treasure and exiting the map with it still in your possession, while using items to slow down your opposing treasure-hunters. I wonder if another game like that would be interesting...

@typhlosion FFTA is probably my favorite GBA game by a very large margin ^.^

(Though, of those, only FFTA and Disgaea are tactics games, and Battle Hunter is really closer to a board game... and I really liked the branching story and exploration in Riviera more than its combat gameplay...)

I've wanted to make something interesting and maybe a little similar to some games I've played before? Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Battle Hunter (PS1), Riviera: the Promised Land, and Disgaea have all been games I've really, really enjoyed, and I'd like to make something like them...

@not_on_pizza Oh that sounds just like me, too :S Nothing I've done recently has gotten past the writing-down-ideas stage...

I've always gravitated towards making strategy games, board games, or some combination of both...

I haven't really finished any game in those genres, though, with the closest being a board game idea I started a few years ago and a forum RPG-strategy-game-thing I ran many, many years ago...

Someday I would like to make ... a game? I can't even describe what kind of game it should be...

Though at this point, having not actually made anything since shortly after starting college, making anything would be nice...
