No idea what this is, but funny post
wait what
I assume this is just the postal devs taking the piss or something?
yes
tbh, I don't know why the goonswarm thing had any interest, it's not a real gamedev group or anything
they had a couple template games they put up on Steam, and probably just decided they were done bothering
ig getting fake canceled for AI is sorta funny

Missed this a couple months ago
The Recettear localization guy killed himself
rip
They did a cool thing, in 2009 a depressoid and his friend from Something Awful were able to pitch Gabe into allowing them to publish on Steam
They have an argument to say they were the first indie publisher on Steam, and their success contributed weirdly a lot to other Indie publishers and Japanese localization efforts overall
Their proof-of-concept with Recettear set in motion a bizarre amount of shit on the JP side with fairly major IPs
And it sucks that the lead dude was never able to steady himself
He made a long blogpost in 2014 about trying to kill himself https://web.archive.org/web/20150326160141/https://www.carpefulgur.com/drakblog/?p=53
And never really recovered mentally
@polu what the fuck
it actually got a fucking update
powerbomberman is so back
It is the definiteve way to play classic style bomberman
multiplayer is really good
https://pastee.dev/p/3sLpXvB5 Had to dig in the thread to find the changelog
We had a big powerbomberman arc in the server for a while, and we still play it sometimes when Pix does VC nights since she really likes it
Yeah for sure get them to check it out tiny if you want to play with them
Skimming the changelog, they added another 40ish characters and almost 10 new stages
Replying to polu #polutropos Power bomberman is incredibly customizable
Tiny, they have almost every notable character in bomberman lore as a skin you can gacha (in game coins you earn for playing) to get
I love stardew valley animal crossing
uh.... that's pretty blatent
idk if Webfishing will work twice
this is the dev
A story in one pic
guess what I also screenshotted
lol
lol, the other dev too
HOW DO YOU ONLY PLAY 11 HOURS OF WEBFISHING
and then decide "yeah, we better rip this shit off"
To be fair spooky, we don't know how many hours of animal crossing they've played
oh uh
lmao
I watched the two trailers side-by-side
I didn't know webfishing was also kind of an animal crossing ripoff
so I guess rift fishing is fully just a webfishing ripoff
Webfishing was really cool and well liked, buy yeah it was just an AC-coded chat room
but hey, if you sell 2M copies, ig you're bound to get copied poorly by German furries
Timeline where phijkchu games gets a estonian and a mexican dev duo to make a series of toushin toushi 2 style games
that's gonna happen except not because of us
the alicesoft ripoff stocks are on the rise
also the boldness to name your wholesome game studio just "Wholesome Games" is insane
nothing but respect tbh
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and then decide "yeah, we better rip this shit off"
The Web Fishing dev abandoned the game awhile ago after being harassed iirc
Deciding to pivot into trying NES games for the first time, I played through the entire adventures of LoLo series. Excluding a particular subset of puzzles, they are actually pretty good puzzle games
