The Roguelike Celebration 2023 talk VODs are up! I’m biased by virtue of running the talk selection process, but this year was a collection of some of the best darn game design resources you’ll find anywhere.

When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game development team with two partners.

Before making complete games, we started by selling game music that used very little RAM, made with our own music editor: SIDmon.

To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.

I died at floor 11 after using an unidentified scroll of summon monsters and thought my +4 axe of multiplicity could take on an ogre, a wisp and two dar blademasters. My poor Salamander ally couldn't help me in the single turn it got πŸ˜”

#PicoGUS 2.0 is officially released! It's an ISA card that can emulate Gravis Ultrasound, Adlib, CMS, Tandy 3-voice, MPU-401 w/ Intelligent Mode, and gameport joysticks!
This new version is 100% factory assembled and ready to just plug and play.
And it's open hardware: all design files are available under CERN OHL v2 Permissive license, so if you want to make (or improve) your own you can!

for those ready for next year's class, the language setting for your toots actually matters for accessibility!

it's not just helpful for those of us an instances with a translation feature

see, my screenreader has a voice for both french and english because i read a lot of content in those two languages

so my screen reader attempts to read anything tagged as english with the english voice and anything tagged as french with the french voice

if things are tagged not as either, it informs me and doesn't attempt to butcher it!

but the synthesizers for French and English are ridiculous when swapped, worse than a bad stereotype movie accent - to the point that sometimes i can't understand the text at all

so yeah! try to make sure your language is tagged correctly. this is all!
