Quick Plug: Aruneus is a Pathfinder RPG setting in development in which the most recent apocalypse was of the zombie variety. Almost all fantasy RPG worlds are really post-apocalypse worlds (dangerous mutated creatures skitter about blasted wastelands, kingdoms build on the ruins of ancient civilizations war, "heroes" go scavanging for various ( Read more... )

Would you expect Dark Crystal concept art not to be awesome? Why?

Remember single-button platformer CANABALT? Well, now it can teach you typing!

I think Give Up, Robot can best be described as a cross between You Got The Grappling Hook (in terms of the grappling hook) and Portal (in terms of disapproving robotic voice). Except not really.

Fake science is so real it hurts.

Three things on the indie game front, then stuff:

Super Mario Bros. Crossover, built from scratch by a dude who taught himself programing so he could make this game is exactly the kind of game you make when you want to make a game so bad you teach yourself programing to do so. The vision here was very clear. Also, beating Super Mario Bros as ( Read more... )
