    I also cut my teeth as a preteen with qbasic, modifying Gorillas.bas :) I had gotten ahold of a qbasic extender that somebody published along with a "learn games in qbasic" book. I…

    When he talks about pushing the art forward, I wonder if he is also talking about the art of game design. Is he going to show us a futuristic vision of the classic point & click ga…

    maybe this is actually a good thing if it makes junky SEO articles even more ubiquitous than they already are. it will force search engines to adapt and filter out this kind of noi…

    I want to like this but the part that seems missing is the writing. They have somebody who can make games and who can make pixel art, but do they have somebody who can write seinfe…
