@HauntedOwlbear Ah! I knew the animation reminded me of something other than Scooby-Doo. It's got a definite Wizards vibe to it too - especially the gas-masked horse people.
@HauntedOwlbear For a very tiny one, GDevelop may well be worth a look. It's extremely versatile and approachable so will probably be able to do exactly what you want without too much faff, though something more specialised such as AGS would almost certainly be the more efficient choice for a larger game.
This suggestion is almost certainly closer to "heavily modded Twine" than you'd like, but it's native on Linux and likely useful for quick jam games beyond adventure games specifically.
@gdeyke I think it would be annoying and frustrating no matter what: the trick would be to make that a feature. Another concern would be having the optimum strategy involve playing blind at least some of the time, to avoid it simply being a regular FPS that requires the player to keep spamming the trigger button to see. Limited "ammo" might help there.
I kinda want to try dying my hair, but I'm concerned that if I ever stop then I'll basically end up experiencing that Nazi super-ageing thing from Indiana Jones when I discover it's gone way MORE grey in the meantime.
@HauntedOwlbear I wonder how much of this is the usual confident nonsense and how much is due to miscategorisation and totally nonsensical metadata. Summarising reviews actually strikes me as one of the less wildly inappropriate applications of this technology, but it's not surprising that the summary claims the device to be an optical drive when Amazon's slapdash product info seems to suggest that's just what it is.
I've never felt particularly strongly about one Linux distribution over another in the past, but I've just had a pop-up about Ubuntu Pro where the only "Nope" option was "Remind Me Later" so I guess I'm switching to something else whenever I upgrade my SSD. #enshittification#Linux#Ubuntu#UbuntuPro
@HauntedOwlbear I haven't personally, but I'd highly recommend checking out Bitmap Bureau: they've ported Xeno Crisis to a bunch of old consoles. https://bitmapbureau.com/
@wesnoth Congrats! (Also great to discover you're on Mastodon.) I've always liked Battle for Wesnoth - actually hoping to take a crack at writing a campaign at some point.
