Tyler the new guy on the block is a real brawler and fun to play in We Could Be Heroes. Not sure I've ever seen a Beat 'em up character limited to punches only, but it really does make him feel unique. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2563030?utm_source=Tumblr

Ok like no joke two days ago I was drawing a design for winnie the pooh for a game I'm making, and this is what I arrived at. And then my friend shows me this comic. Like, it's not the craziest design choice, but to see it pop up so soon after making it is strange.

Happy Mickey Mouse is mine day

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

Repost from @pubity • Mario may be one of the most recognizable characters in gaming history, but his name has a surprisingly humble—and slightly disputed—origin. 🎮 Originally dubbed “Mr. Video” by creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the red-capped plumber made his debut in 1981’s Donkey Kong as an unnamed character, later labeled “Jumpman” in English manuals. But when Donkey Kong was localized for the U.S., Nintendo of America needed a more fitting name—and that’s when Mario Segale entered the picture. Segale, a real estate developer from Tukwila, Washington, owned the warehouse Nintendo was renting. One version of the story claims that Segale confronted the company over unpaid rent, and after he gave them more time, the developers honored him by renaming Jumpman to Mario. However, former Nintendo of America warehouse manager Don Jones later claimed Segale never met the team and that the name was simply chosen as an inside joke. Regardless of which version is true, Segale became a part of gaming legend. While he rarely spoke about it, he once quipped to The Seattle Times in 1993, “You might say I’m still waiting for my royalty checks.” He passed away in 2018, but his name—and its pixelated counterpart—remain immortal. Did you know this story!? 🤔 #pubity #gaming #gamedev
