The model for the protagonist of my game is in Vegas and they spotted a very familiar keyring! 💃

Photo of a hand holding a keyring. The keyring has a trinket hanging from it, a small metal sculpture of a stripper dancing on a pole. Below that is a small metal sign that says “Las Vegas”.

Vibrant, low-resolution pixel art of a hand holding a keyring. The keyring has a trinket hanging from it, a small metal sculpture of a stripper dancing on a pole. Below that is a small metal sign that says “Las Vegas” — identical to the previous photo.

Watched Amer and was blown away! Incredibly developed and sophisticated storytelling — a pair of first time directors delivering pure cinema! A true hidden gem as it does not appear to be streamable legally. Criminal. Expressionistic, surrealist giallo.

Movie poster with the title “Amer” depicting a nude woman cast in green and floating upside-down. Behind her a giant, disembodied gloved hand reaches out from a stylized spiral.

One of my favorite parts of game development is becoming despondent over something that seems impossible, then having a lie down and eleven minutes into it coming up with the perfect solution

Sesari newsletter! I’ll talk about how Sesari came about and what happened when I released part 1. Here’s a portion of an image that will be included, from when Sesari was a graphic novel. Subscribe now https://sesari.eo.page/kv4cd

Black and white pencil drawing of a person with a ponytail holding their ear while rushing out a door.

We draw Mothman in this house 🫡 🌉

A piece of paper with a crude drawing of a monster on it. The monster has bat-like wings, sharp talons on its hands and feet, big red eyes, and bushy antenna. Its arms and head are colored red, and its hands and legs are colored yellow. The coloring is not inside the lines.

The comic I would reccomend most highly to adventure game players would be the Hobtown Mystery Stories by @krisbertin and Alexander Forbes. Very Twin Peaks, heavy on Nancy Drew/ Hardy Boys. A dream, absolutely hypnotic. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hobtown-Mystery-Stories-Vol-1/Kris-Bertin/Hobtown-Mystery-Stories/9781637152409‬

@ja2ke Obviosly Sam is 24 and Max is 21

We draw spiders in this house 🫡🕷️

A piece of paper lying on a table. On the paper is a detailed marker drawing of a tarantula, and around it are children’s drawings of spiders — some complete and some incomplete.

As Sesari’s launch fades (and I feel my will to post vanishing) I thought it would be fun to chat with my friend, abstract painter Brett Thompson. We talk about my history in comics, influences on Sesari, and how an artist knows when they’re “done”. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/5S2NEA0cCc8?si=5z2cmKm55CrsiOam

The publisher, Masala Noir, doesn’t provide much info about themselves either. They appear to be French. Here’s the page for this book on their site. https://mamama-paris.com/products/8-bits-porn-video-games

Another video game book — 8-bit Porn Video Games. It was a struggle to find a couple spreads I was comfortable positing here! No context for the screenshots is given, but many seem to be closely related. Curiously, they are said to be from up until the year 2020!

Cover of a book titled “8-bit Porn Video Games”. The cover is very plain, just pink with black text. Additional text reads “(1980 - 2020)” and “MASALA NOIR”.

A hand holding open a book, the pages of which show four vibrantly colored, low resolution screenshots. One shows a man behind a bar with a poster of a naked woman in the background. The remaining three are much more simplistic. Two of those show crude phallus-based arcade games, and the remaining one depicts a couple copulating.

A hand holding a book open, on the pages of which can be seen low resolution screenshots. Two of the images are portraits of beautiful women gazing at the viewer. The text above one reads “Sex Xonix” and the text above the other reads “The Sextris Plus”.

@MichaelKlamerus I would print it out and frame it

If you’re curious about Sesari but haven’t pulled the trigger on downloading it, you can watch this playthrough! Itchio made it, despite Sesari not being on their platform (yet). Nice of them! https://youtu.be/iTaIXmEwJOU?si=QB5_rSSIj2CV-H4j

@Deivore Looking incredible! So cool to see it come together

Colin Panetta | Sesari boosted:

I've been seeing different projects and games that use the old school EGA palette lately, and I'm very happy about that. It's very encouraging to see different people use it with their own style. Some are very pious to their retro examples while others go for something completely new and both can learn from each other.

Here's a desert scene from Melon Head (link https://wavey-games.itch.io/melon-head):

I like to introduce people to Shiga’s work by showing them this video. In it he describes a book he designed that has three spines (!) and *8 bits of storage* (!!) Take the plunge on Shiga, you won’t be sorry. https://youtu.be/NRxCTeM5pyU?si=qWM3W5j5aaBrIVyO

Next up is Adventuregame Comics by Jason Shiga. Shiga’s books are a singular experience and a total blast. Think “Choose Your Own Adventure” but next level — this book is so interactive that if you wanted to you could just walk around town endlessly without doing anything. (+)

A book with a predominantly green cover. The title reads “Adventuregame Comics 1 Leviathan”. There’s a simple drawing of a person with a ponytail reading a book, seemingly oblivious to the tentacles creeping out of the colored squares behind them.

Sesari sounds weird, and looks great. I'll definitely give it a try: https://sesarigame.com/
