A third of the way through the Anachronox demo, the player encounters a
hulking alien merchant. β€œMy sorrow runs deep,” the merchant, whose name
is Demonstrare, says. β€œI will only exist for the short duration of this demo.
I do not exist in the full version.
β€œWrite the company. Tell them that you want me in the full version.”
What Demonstrare, even with his curse of self-awareness, did not
anticipate was that if anyone did ask Ion Storm to bring him over to β€œthe
full version,” it wouldn’t have mattered. The demo shipped on a disc stuck
to the cover of a PC Gamer β€” where it shared space with now-forgotten

titles like Throne of Darkness and The Corporate
Machine β€” four months after Anachronox itself had
been released, and three months after Ion Storm’s parent
company had shut down the studio.
Demonstrare never made it to Anachronox. And while
twenty-five years later the game can run on modern
hardware, the demo does not. Demonstrare is gone.
Recently, I asked Richard Gaubert, the writer of
Anachronox, if the developers ever heard anything about
Demonstrare.
Gaubert didn’t even remember the character.

Here is a little bit of @duncanfyfe.net's afterword for "How Can We Bear to Throw Anything Away?"

You can simply skip to the end where I tell you to give up and go outside. It might be the only sane course of action tbh

On Finishing Things

New blog post! I wrote way too many words about my experience trying to finish creative projects.

Having a central "home" for your online presence that can fully represent your personality and vibe is invaluable, especially nowadays with how rigid and sterile the design of most online platforms are. You don't have to succumb to representing yourself within the rigid constraints of social media.

You can barely see it in the game, but I'm very happy with this subway car I modeled for it.

I finished my entry for the David Lynch jam! Last day before the deadline, too.

It's not much of a game, but I think I ended up with something cool. You can play it online now:

Thanks to everyone who played during the event! I'm happy with the reception it had and I got some very useful feedback.

Even though Next Fest is over, the demo will remain online and I'll be updating it with QoL as development progresses.

Please help spread the word if you enjoyed the demo! ^^

Over the last two years (on and off) I've been working on this game while trying to improve my 3d sculpting/modeling skills, and I think it turned out pretty good. I'd appreciate it if you checked it out πŸ™

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.

As a kid this was THE zelda game for me and my friends. It wasn't until years later that I learned it is a sequel to Wind Waker.

I love this dumb version of Link.

The new mainline games look good! Textures are still a bit flat, but considering the timelines they are working with, I think that we can be happy with the improvement.

They may have overtuned that water shader, though πŸ˜…

Hi Alex! Thanks for the space :)

I am working on a narrative RPG about exploring an alien city, rolling dice and becoming a weird human-insect hybrid.
