Indie game news
This indie WarioWare-like released a teaser just to show off its 'game over' music.
It just shows off the game's "game over" screen, which sounds like the sort of thing that wouldn't be all that noteworthy, but the song slaps. Funky synth bass and warped, echoing samples glide over hip hop drums; it's the sort of dance-worthy defeat screen that salves the sting of losing in a frenzied arcade game.
Scarlet Record Preview
Gameplay
Scarlet Record opens with the introduction of Ruby, a scribe tasked with securing relics from a mysterious hall of dungeons. For a demo, the opening does a solid job of grounding the player in the world. That said, one character mentions a marketplace that you can’t access until after the first boss, which immediately stood out.
This indie game revives ’90s FMV weirdness
Gameplay
Gameplay

Mouse: P.I. for Hire – The Final Preview
Mouse: P.I. for Hire
Like Cuphead before it, I am pleased to report that, as it turns out, Mouse: P.I. for Hire isn’t just all sizzle. There is plenty of steak there too. Just as Cuphead built an incredibly good bullet-hell, boss-rush shooter underneath its hand-drawn, hand-animated exterior, so too – at least, based on what I’ve played so far – is Mouse underpinning its 1930’s-era, black-and-white, rubberhose-animated facade with a mechanically sound first-person shooter.
**Mixtape, If You Miss MTV and Dunkaroos, This Indie Game Is for You **
Gameplay
Gameplay
Gameplay
From what I saw, there's a bit of overlap with other nostalgia-laden narrative games about teens growing up, such as studio Don't Nod's Life is Strange series or last year's Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. But Mixtape avoids the plotty drama of those games in favor of lionizing the humble wonder of teens killing time.
Titanium Court preview: bizarre and confusing, but I’m still enraptured by this indie game

Hmmm

When you think you know what’s going on, new layers are revealed, each stranger than the last. I think I have the crux: it’s a game about becoming the monarch of a kingdom, which is beset by enemy forces on all sides.

Featured article: Fantasy Consoles
Two issues ago I wrote about emulation, how it is hardware or software that allows one computer system, called the host, to behave similarly to another computer system called the guest. But does the guest computer system have to be real? An emulator emulates the behavior of another computer based on specs and architecture that the other computer has. So if we came up with some specs and architecture for a theoretical computer, we should be able to emulate that as well. And that is what a fantasy console is. An emulator of a gaming console that has only theoretical specs and architecture.
Fantasy consoles are meant to make game development beginner-friendly, focusing on simpler game design enforced by the artificial restrictions of the system and the built-in development tools. The restrictions of these systems and getting around them can make developers creative and come up with unique gameplay ideas.
Portability is a big plus, as the games do not need to be ported themselves, just the emulator running them. Each game developed for such a fantasy system can run on any other system that has an emulator for the fantasy system.
Screenshot of Pong implemented in CHIP-8
The first fantasy console was probably the CHIP-8. It was officially called and interpreted programming language. But the purpose was the same: emulate fictional computer hardware and create games for it that could run on any computing system that could emulate the CHIP-8 system. These days countless CHIP-8 emulators exist for almost every system imaginable.
Tetris game on MegaZeux
Another early fantasy system is the MegaZeux, labeled as a game creation system, and it was first released in 1994 and is still being developed today. It can run on a few systems but not as many as the CHIP-8. MegaZeux comes with its own built-in development environment. A programming language called robotics and tools for editing graphics and sound.
The aforementioned PICO-8 is the first modern fantasy console. It recreates simple graphics and audio capabilities similar to 8-bit computers and gaming systems. It uses Lua for programming, but it also comes with tools for editing music, sound, sprites, and maps.
The original version of the indie game Celeste was most famously developed for the PICO-8. The emulator is not free, it costs about $15 to pursue. Though there are free and open-source recreations of the emulator. Like tac08 and Retro8.
After the release of the PICO-8, fantasy consoles became more popular, and since then several systems have been released. Some noteworthy systems are:
TIC-80
A fantasy computer for making, playing, and sharing tiny games. It supports multiple programming languages: Lua, Moonscript, Javascript, Ruby, Wren, Fennel, Squirrel, Janet, and Python. And has built-in editors for code, sprites, world maps, sound effects, and music.
LowRes NX
Lets you program in the classic BASIC language and create sprites, tile maps, sound and music with the included tools.
Vircon32
Vircon32 is a 32-bit virtual console: it is meant as a standard that could be implemented either in software or hardware.
Atto
Ss an open-source fantasy computer created by DeviceFuture. It recreates elements of 1980s and modern computers. It use BASIC as an interface to program and load software.

Fantasy Console Game recommendations
1. Celeste Classic 2 for PICO-8
A PICO-8 platformer about hiking around a mountain, made in three days for Celeste's third anniversary.
2. PakPok for PICO-8
Puzzle platformer for PICO-8
3. NanoMan for PICO-8
Basically, a fan game heavily inspired by the early Mega Man series
4. Fetch Quest for PICO-8
You were playing fetch with your best friend when he suddenly vanished. You're on the trail, you're going to get him back. Hurry!
5. Everdawn for PICO-8
Welcome to Everdawn, a tiny island where the sun and moon have ceased to move through the sky. Explore it, learn its history, and unlock the secrets behind its strange curse.
6. 8 Bit Panda for TIC-80
8 Bit Panda is a classic-style platformer for the TIC-80. You can move, run, jump and get powerups (and occasionally fly planes!). It has 17 levels distributed across 6 major areas (isles). Each area has different enemies and difficulty. The game is saved every time you complete a full area (after level 3 of each isle).
7. Star Wars Vector Tie Wave for LowRes NX
Welcome to my absurdly ill-advised new project. This is my interpretation of the 1980’s Star Wars vector arcade game. Well- this version is still very much a work in progress. Most notably, it’s just the tie fighter battle on an endless loop. Of course my goal is to have all three phases and increasing difficulty, but we’re not there yet.
8. SMZX Tetris for MegaZeux
It's Tetis
9. Blips for Vircon32
Blips is a remake of the dos bips original, gold and platinum game made by Bryant Brownell, its a sokoban style puzzle game but with exploding dynamite, special boxes and collecting coins
10. Blockdude for Vircon32
Blockdude is a remake of the well known TI Caluculator game from Brandon Sterner as well as the blockman game from Soleau Software. This version of the game for the vircon32 fantasy console is based on the Playdate port which was in itself a port of the GP2X port of blockdude i made over a decade ago.
