We are closer to shipping Ivory v1.9! The big feature for this release is the ability to quote posts. If you'd like to test it out, jump back on the TestFlight version of Ivory. We've opened up some more TestFlight beta slots here as well:

Discovered today that Gauntlet 4 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive has an awesome soundtrack.

The game features a 4 player port of the original and some new modes like an RPG Quest Mode. Some details: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntl

YouTube links to the OST on its own and a playthrough of the quest mode to see things in action:

The game's soundtrack was composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata.

beautiful sight

#pixelart #MastoArt #art

Pixel Art Illustration of bright blue-pink looking mountain that looks bulky and huge; pink colors suggest the sunset happening somewhere outside this canvas. In front of mountain stand a big castle-structure that placed on the higher ground. In front of that structure are brown-golden-green tones suggesting some kind of field happening. All illustration hugged with a fringe-looking frame giving it a retro old-postcards feel.
