‘Because no one was paying attention we could just put anything into the game,’ says the writer responsible for sneaking The Lusty Argonian Maid into Morrowind

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - An Oral History from the Game Developers - YouTube Watch OnFilmdeg Miniatures is a YouTube channel run by Tom Evans that is full of interviews with gaming luminaries. I know it mainly for unearthing Warhammer history on topics like the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. And he’s also the one to blame for The Lusty Argonian Maid, a tiny joke text that’s become a core part of the Elder Scrolls’ identity. “Because no one was paying attention we could just put anything into the game,” Nelson says. That’s Todd’s rule. 🖊️️🤖

This theme park sim based on a 30-year-old sci-fi movie is so much better than it has a right to be

At least until now, because it’s finally getting a videogame adaptation, Mars Attracts. Instead, we’re getting Mars Attracts—a tongue-in-cheek theme park management romp. Mars Attracts is a good time. Mars Attracts really makes its humans eat out of troughs. But I’m a terrible person who has played a lot of theme park sims, and even in early access it’s clear that Mars Attracts is one of the good ones. 🖊️️🤖

Palworld devs announce Palfarm, a multiplayer farming life sim with less survival game grit and more Stardew Valley energy, days after Nintendo reveals Pokemon farming and crafting game Pokopia

Palworld developer Pocketpair has announced a new game called Palworld: Palfarm, turning its mega-hit survival game into a series that now includes a “cosy” farming life sim that smacks more of Stardew Valley and its many cousins. Palfarm was announced tonight alongside a new collaboration for Palworld itself featuring indie FPS legend Ultrakill. Billed as “bringing the world of Palworld into a brand-new farming experience,” Palfarm comes across as a more laid-back sim with fewer dangers and more flower festivals. (Image credit: Pocketpair)Before Palworld, Pocketpair had released and found solid success with Craftopia, a multiplayer survival action game that also had a lot of farming and base building. Palfarm’s announcement notably comes less than two weeks after the reveal of Pokemon Pokopia, a crafting, building, and farming game from Nintendo. 🖊️️🤖

The English Fan Translation Of PS2 RPG Tales Of Rebirth Has Just Hit A Major Milestone

Life Bottle Productions, the volunteer fan group responsible for translating and remastering numerous games in the Tales series, has just announced the 1.0 release of its Tales of Rebirth PS2 translation. Tales of Rebirth, in case you’re unaware, is the sixth entry in the long-running series that originally began way back in 1995 with Wolf Team’s 1995 Super Famicom title Tales of Phantasia. Life Bottle Productions first announced its intentions to finally provide English-speaking fans of the series with a translation back in December 2021, on the 17th anniversary of the PS2 game. -Fixed bug where subtitles in the “Speech” FMV would cause a game crash on hardware. -Menu background during pause display bug (present in the original game) has been fixed. 🖊️️🤖

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls hands-on report

Spider-ManA fast, agile fighter armed with versatile web attacksSpider-Man’s key strength is his versatile offense built around his signature move, Web Zip. He can also use Web Zip to launch upward diagonally for aerial strikes or dive down from above for sudden ambushes. Combining Web Zip with its various follow-up attacks keeps the pressure high and fuels Spider-Man’s chaotic high-paced offense. Another option is Hell Throttle, which engulfs Ghost Rider in flames to damage nearby foes. Dive into an all-new Marvel Universe, filled with iconic Marvel heroes and villains, fan-favorite stages, and an intuitive gameplay system with MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls! 🖊️️🤖

Dying Breed could end up being a real gem for RTS fans - once it’s a bit further along

Dying Breed is a new retro-inspired real time strategy game from Sarnayer / MicroProse Software out now in Early Access. I adore these types of classic base-building strategy games, since I grew up playing the likes of Command & Conquer (amongst many others at the time). The FMV cut-scenes are incredibly cheesy, to the point they’re actually a little on the charming side. With a little flavour of the 1997 RTS game KKND for the mutant side of things too. Very challenging though, some of the missions can feel a little bit too punishing even early on. 🖊️️🤖
