Francisco González - Grundislav Games

A brass holder shaped like a hand holds the Fool card from the Crowley tarot deck, depicting a smiling horned figure wearing green with arms and legs spread within a looping frame, holding symbols of the four elements and with a small tiger biting their leg.

Packing my bindle and heading to GDC next week with the spirit of the FOOL: Playfulness, curiosity, openness to adventure and new opportunities. (Leaving the cats at home, though.)

Rosewater and Lamplight City are still sitting unplayed in my library, but I loved A Golden Wake — it's a fantastic point-and-click adventure that combines old-school sensibilities with smart design and an intriguing plot inspired by real history.

One of these is an underrated classic that takes place in the 1920's. Play all three to figure out which one!

ROSEWATER has been talked about on our channel quite a bit. (Daniel even had a Let's Play with the creator about a year ago.) So, I think it's about time I give it a go.

Tonight at 7pm PT (note the new start time)

I animate everything in Photoshop CS2, then export the individual frames as .PNGs, load them into sprite folders in AGS and then assign them to views.

No idea how this affects memory usage, but it's always worked for me!

Happy birthday!

The good news is that by the time I announce it, the wait will be a lot less than 3 years!

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

It helps that I don’t plan on doing a game with branching narrative ever again.

Rosewater is amazing, the middle section alone could have been its own entire game and more

Thank you ;)

After working on Rosewater for 6 years I said I didn’t have another project of that scale in me right away.

Now I know I don’t have one of that scale in me ever again. Absolute max is 3 years.
