@OutofPrintArchive The first time Guybrush Threepwood ever spoke. My second favorite Monkey Island game. I will say my favorite is Monkey Island 2 : Lechuck's Revenge. Check out the first part of my playthrough of Curse of Monkey Island here :
Underwater breathing. Not exactly something most humans are capable of. In fact, I do believe none are, save for Leo. Does that make him special? Unique? All-powerful? A super-being?
My review of sci-fi point 'n click adventure, Twilight Oracle, might contain the answer... among other things. It just might!
While I've worked as a "writer" for text anthologies several times, "Birds Are Not Real" is my first time as a game developer: a game anthology of #pointandclick#pixelart adventures, where each game takes place in a universe where conspiracy theories are based on facts, and a mysterious 'Agency' hides the truth from the public. So each game is different, but they share a part of their background. Still a WIP, CR code (Crop Reptilian code) is my title, and this is its main character Jack Bennett
Okay, everyone who was in one of those "wouldn't AI coming to adventure games be disastrous/improbable/weird" conversations we had at @adventurex earlier this month should probably pay attention to this.
Point and click adventure Zarathustra uses AI Art and AI Voices
As someone who cannot art for shit, I can absolutely see why a person would do this. And it's not like they're charging money for the game. But I find it somewhat disheartening in a field of game development where "lovingly handcrafted" is kind of a given.
And, at the risk of sounding both precious and pretentious, the implications for the genre as an art form should this prove to be worthwhile are worrying.
Puisque l'actu du mois d'août est relativement calme, on va vous proposer ici, à raison de quatre papiers par jour jusqu'à la fin du mois, une sélection d'articles parus entre l'été 2022 et l'été 2023. C'est l'opération #1andePixels en 70 et quelques articles, c'est parti !
Here is a selection of 30 #PointAndClick adventure games released over the past 20 years.
Obviously, this list is very far from being exhaustive but this one presents in my opinion a good panorama of what has been done best in the genre since the golden age of the 90s.
Wanted to talk about some of my favourite indie games that really inspired or impacted me through my years of gaming (still do), and I never see ppl talk about -

Dominique Pamplemousse - It's all Over When The Fat Lady Sings
Off-beat comedy, handmade, unique art-style, society commentary, musical, gender exploration - I backed Squinky on IndieGoGo when this first was announced and I still love and replay this regularly.
It's the kind of unique view and creativity I desperately want to see more of, and love experiencing. One day I'd too hope to leave the world with something like this
There's also a sequel and another exploratory game by Squinky that's worth playing too, and only 1$ https://squinky.itch.io/
Tell your friends and parents - the Kickstarter campaign for my upcoming point & click adventure game “Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw” is LIVE! 😀 And so is the demo for this great game! 💾 Yes!! It’s time for you to meet Scott Whiskers in person and help him with his work at the local animal shelter. 🐈
