ZombiWorkshop (Lucan Monks)

Port to ALL the things! XD time to check em out.

Had some commissions to do retro game boxart again and it’s always great fun to do. Then I realise I keep forgetting to advertise that I do such things. So here’s my attempt at it!

Uh… CHECK OUT THE COOL STUFF I DO!!! :p

And now I’ve learnt you make games too! How have I missed this? :o

it's time for some TEAMWORK AND TOMFOOLERY as Mcgaveson and I will be trying out a roguelike co-op called INKBOUND. Join us to find out what it's all about. twitch.tv/zombiworkshop

It's TRY IT TUESDAY time again! Don't worry, we're not going back to the past, I was just feeling a bit retro. In the meantime, we'll be playing new #indiegames demos and seeing if there's anything cool happening. Join us: twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

And that's it. Sadly a few "multiplayer" games we wanted to try didn't actually work as multiplayer, but that's what demos are for. As for tonight though, we're going through more indie game demos on this evenings Try It Tuesday stream! Join us why doncha?

Deep Dish Dungeon on Steam A survival exploration game where you navigate through a puzzly hand-crafted dungeon, with metroidvania and crafting elements. Unravel the enigmas of the dungeon’s depths solo or online co-op multipla...

In DEEP DISH DUNGEON (@RawFury), you're dropped into an ancient dungeon filled with unknown threats, but also lost treasures. Work together to not only explore and uncover new areas, but also cook and enhance each others stats and equipment. Hard but fun!

ZOMBIE ASSAULT: RESURGENCE (@ninjakiwigames)
is as straight forward as it gets. You're a generic sci-fi soldier shooting zombies whilst achieving various missions goals. Whilst it's not unique, it's pretty solid as far as co-op twin stick shooters go. store.steampowered.com/app/2747660/...

Lost In Your Eyes on Steam Lost In Your Eyes is a 2 Player co-op Puzzle Adventure game where you and your friend face the challenging puzzles to escape uniquely designed levels together. Communication is a key element for every...

Whilst a little heavy controls-wise, LOST IN YOUR EYES (@RankeStudiosEN) provides some nice escape room style puzzling alongside short platforming action. The eyes are cute, but I was kinda expecting some asymmetrical elements. None the less, good fun!
store.steampowered.com/app/4038300/...

Whisk on Steam Whisk is a two-player platformer about shared movement and communication. Coordinate jumps, climbs and throws with a partner to get every Dreamcat home.

WHISK (DoubleDuskInc) is a co-op puzzler where two friends must help each other reach a portal and launch a fragile cat-ball through it. The story is irrelevant, but gameplay is great. Working out the path whilst chucking cats about is really good fun! :)

So, things did not go as planned last Wednesday. None the less, this "TRY-IT-TOGETHER" ROUNDUP we've got the actually working multiplayer #indiegame demos we tried! Lets see what we thought of them below... As always support the ones you like the look of! :)

The one I picked up for comparison.

I mean, in these sort of movies he probably DID hit her... but she's a kung-fu master and he's already been booted through a glass window three floors up. :P

Found a cheap mini Famicon LegNo set... and figured that I could do better.
Half an hour later I figured I should add the Famicom Disk System too. Here's the results... only issue is maybe 1 piece isn't available in the right colour, can you guess which one? :P

Thanks to everyone who suggested things for us to watch, the lineup has been decided (No disrespect to the ones we haven't picked, we'll get to them all eventually!). Either way this is looking to be a great month of movies... a month of MARCH-AL ARTS! :D

Genius! :)

I feel like I needed kinda generic claw machine for the arcade collection. Are there any famous or favourite claw machines to base a build off of?

What?! Why peeps gotta be ruining things?! XD

It's TRY IT T-WEEK? And tonights' stream we're TRYING IT TOGETHER. McGaveson and I will be trying some new co-op demos to see if anything shines, or if the abundance of friendslop is actually slop or worthy of a go. Join us to find out! twitch.tv/zombiworkshop :)

And that's all for today... well, except for this evening where we'll be playing more co-op demos on tonights TRY-IT-TOGETHER stream. In the meantime, support the games you like here in any way you can, and I'll catch you in the evening for more demo shenanigans. :)

Finally, CALL OF THE ELDER GODS (@OutBlueGames) is a story heavy first person puzzle game where you explore a world in which eldritch horrors are real. It looks stunning, plays beautifully and I can't wait to find out what happened since the first game! :D

Want MetalGear stealth action, but also to play as a puppy? Then BARKOUR (@VarsavGS) is the game for you! It's a high quality spy romp filled with clever platforming, puzzling, gadgets, and maybe a dog puns. Feels like a fun movie you get to play!

Mimic Sleuth on Steam No chest is safe in this logic puzzle roguelite! These mimic-filled dungeons are just waiting to be looted... but only the most observant and clever adventurers will make it out alive.

MIMIC SLEUTH (@QuatschGames) is a game about telling the difference between loot chests and mimics. It's a light logic puzzle where ID'ing incorrectly means you get chomped! Learning new rules about new chests adds a nice element to this cozy puzzler.

Bad Pixels on Steam Back in the days of the wild west, everything was much more rudimentary and raw. Drinking water had bits in it, shoes had holes in them, and computers only had 8-bits of processing power. With limited...

Imagine if the C64 had been powerful enough to handle smooth frame rates on an FPS... well BAD PIXELS (Dadako) shows us what it could look like! Shoot bad cowboys and protect good ones in this simple but fun free-roam shooter from a time that never was!
store.steampowered.com/app/952100/B...

Future Knight on Steam Frenetic action and LCD aesthetic! In this 2D Shoot 'Em Up, switch between a robot hero and his benign tumor to stop a bizarre cult. You have 8 hours to save humanity's memory: defeat grotesque bosses...

If you like LCD games, and the c64/Speccy version of Robocop, then FUTURE KNIGHT (@studiokobaGAME) might be perfect for you. I was hooked by the oddball style and quirky music, and loved that it played so well as a platform shooter with solid retro vibes!

POLY BRICKS (@drycactusgames) is a model building game that feels a little like playing with stickle bricks from when I was kid. The challenge lies in achieving a 1:1 build with what's shown. Simple, relaxing and has a very cute chunky block aesthetic.
