Released 23 years ago today, #NeverwinterNights (2002) brought D&D 3rd Edition rules into full 3D with the powerful #AuroraEngine.

Developed by #BioWare and published by #Infogrames, it stood out with its ambitious #toolset that let players create and share entire campaigns, complete with custom scripts, dialogue, and cutscenes.

Unlike #BaldursGate, you control just one character, but can recruit henchmen. The single-player campaign got mixed reviews, but the real legacy is the #modding community and the unique #DungeonMaster mode for live multiplayer storytelling.

Currently working on the environment of my game, here's a first glimpse !

Hi #PitchYaGame! Minerva Labyrinth is a dark magical girl dungeon crawler with turn-based combat, in the vein of Wizardry or The Bard's Tale. Create a party of five magical warriors and delve into the labyrinths of humanity's ancient enemy, the Hate.

Coming 2025 for Windows + Linux. Demo available now!

Bei #StarWars mögt ihr die Rebellen?
Bei #StarTrek seid ihr gegen das Regime auf Cardassia?
Im #Rollenspiel steht ihr auf der Seite der Unterdrückten, Hilflosen, Schwachen?

Warum dann nicht auch im "echten" Leben aufstehen für den Schutz der #Demokratie und #Menschenrechte?

Look at this extremely cool game jam that's ongoing with plenty of time still left:

Narrative Alchemy Jam 2025
https://itch.io/jam/narrative-alchemy-jam-2025

*This is a jam for transformative narrative games of all kinds. It will be judged by me (Chance). Since I prefer to cultivate a collaborative rather than a competitive environment, and since judging is often highly subjective, I have chosen to use the word "Favorite" rather than "Best" for the award categories:

Favorite Educational Game - Open to educators and non-educators, as long as your game teaches something intended to be useful for players' personal growth or learning.

Favorite Therapeutic Game - Please enter only if you're a therapist, social worker, psychologist, counselor, life coach, neurodiversity researcher, etc. Games about therapy or therapeutic topics are allowed in other categories; this category is specifically for games intended for use as part of a therapy session.

Favorite Spiritual or Religious Game - You don't need to be clergy to submit to this category. Religious fundamentalists, including militant atheists, are not welcome.

Favorite Recreational Game - This is for games primarily intended to be fun to play, while also exploring a thought-provoking or emotionally resonant theme / genre.

Favorite Serious Game - This is for games intended to be thought-provoking, emotionally intense, or culturally important, but not necessarily fun or light-hearted.

Entering multiple categories is allowed, as long as it makes sense for your game. The only two categories that are mutually exclusive are "Favorite Recreational Game" and "Favorite Serious Game".

Since I'm a TTRPG and LARP designer with academic training in transformative role-playing game design, this jam is primarily geared toward analog, physical games. But if you're a CRPG or visual novel designer with an idea that fits, go for it! Some of my favorite transformative narrative games are computer games (e.g. The Longest Journey, The Talos Principle, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Disco Elysium).*

I think I have found a programming language that hurts my brain more than Perl.

https://codeberg.org/random-wizard/dnd1/raw/branch/main/applesoft_basic/dnd1.basic

I took Richard Garriott's BASIC code from 1977 and did as little to it as I could to get it to work with Applesoft BASIC. You can copy the above code and paste into the Applesoft BASIC in Javascript emulator.

https://inexorabletash.github.io/jsbasic/

Do not ask for instructions!
And you have to name your character
SHAVS

Speaking of BASIC. Someone should write a code linter for BASIC. It could check for errant GOTOs and the like.

Has anyone had the chance to try the Bard's Tale Trilogy remaster? I have it on GOG and I've been meaning to play it but haven't had the chance to really sit down and learn how it plays.

What little time I did spend playing it, though, I really enjoyed. The remastered graphics look fantastic, the UI is great, and it still FEELS like an 80s CRPG/dungeon crawler.

Any tips for me for when I finally try it?

The free demo of my #MagicalGirl #DungeonCrawler Minerva Labyrinth is now available on Steam and Itch!

Z Kingdom Come mam tak, że uwielbiam tą serię i stawiam spokojnie na półce obok Falloutów, Deus Exów, Cyberpunka i innych moich ulubionych gier.

Jest w drugiej części sporo świetnych i rzadko spotykanych rozwiązań, ale są też różne dyskusyjne decyzje gameplay'owe (które można akceptować lub nie). I to nie z tymi rozwiązaniami mam problem, tylko całą masą mniejszych lub większych drobiazgów, które mogłyby być lepsze lub wymagałyby poprawy.

A problem mam nie z powodu wspomnianych drobiazgów jako takich, tylko z tego powodu, że jeśli przygotowałbym listę lub próbował je opisać, bardzo mocno mogłoby to zniekształcić obraz całości, wyszłoby na to, że się czepiam gry.
