Imagine having the complete scripts (game code) of all Sierra On-Line games that use the SCI engine published between 1988 and 1996 fully decompiled, human-readable and annotated.

Yes. 100% of the scripts. 100% of the games. 100% made public.

Our SCI mastermind sluicebox did it again!

If you want to learn about the full story, ranging from a deep-dive into the code and tales about the history of Sierra's script language and previous reverse engineering efforts, check out

it's genuinely wild how we heard nothing but long winded platitudes on how innovative silicon valley was for like 20 straight years and it's all culminated in a bunch of the dullest, most petulant billionaires imaginable all just copying each other's version of a very basic chat app

@glassbottommeg Thank you so much! 🙏

Rack and Slay is a roguelike dungeon crawler where you're a billiard ball! 🎱

Push monster balls into holes or traps in randomly generated levels. Draft from a 100+ items with stackable, game-changing effects. Find combos and build wacky synergies.

Good chance the graphics will totally change before release, but the gameplay is pretty far along.

Well, in my previous #gamedev post I didn't actually include any Iconoclasts screenshots. It is the biggest thing I ever made, and it almost destroyed me, but I am happy now and it manages to still support my new project! ❤

Hey! It's been a while since I updated mastodon! I'll be posting my recent #pixelart done in authentic #NES graphics, where I try to push the restrictions as much as possible. Here are two #isometric #mockup takes that can work on the NES without any fancy mapper or programming tricks 😀

"The gays stole the rainbow from God" implies we're powerful and/or cunning enough to steal from a supposedly omnipotent entity and then keep them from taking the stolen goods back and honestly I can live with being perceived as this cool.

KDE:

Microsoft has blatantly copied us in Windows 11, and as a result, people are starting to see Plasma as a cheap clone of Windows again. (...) Making the panel float by default provides an immediate visual differentiation from Windows 11 and we hope this will help jolt users’ brains out of “ew, it’s slightly different from Windows 11” mode and into “wow, this is new and cool and I wonder what’s in it” mode.

Microsoft:

Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows 12 (...) with several new design ideas, including a new desktop experience with a ‘floating’ taskbar. Microsoft wants to create a floating effect for the taskbar by separating it from the desktop and rounding off the edges.
