Shadowgate 2 now... It's time... it's time to finish this foul beast... in the name of everyone who ever clicked a torch...

For #BeyondShadowgate, #Shadowgate co-creator, Dave Marsh, sent me and my team a copy of the original design notes he wrote in 1991.
The game was meant to be a more epic CRPG (With 600+ rooms), but we cut it down to a more maneagable #NES style game, and maintained the original's gameplay mechanics.

I've made a new ROM Detectives video for Shadowgate and finding the infamous missing Goblin Room.

unused art for #BeyondShadowgate

This room was cut from the town

Death atop the POV used to be an acroterion

We dropped the Torch mechanic cause it was incompatable with the game's structure

We entertained the idea of a Verb Wheel, but it was inefficient

One of the more conspicuous references to #Shadowgate, in #BeyondShadowgate, is the map found in Castle Gwenynthell's Trade Office. It's the same map print as the one found in the study in Castle Shadowgate

I guess the map hanging in the Trade office would technically be vintage, wouldn't it? 🤔

The map of Kal Torlin, the lands beyond #Shadowgate, and the map fragments Del assembles during his adventures in #BeyondShadowgate

It was fun to draw a #pixelArt version of the official map, as well as to imagine what a raggedy map, drawn in universe, would look like

Losing and Feeling Exposed Rather Than Defeated - Dualistic Unity A reflective exploration of the emotional experience of trying and failing without collapsing — anchored in a childhood memory of Shadowgate on the NES and the pattern of loss and exposure that shows up across life.

A childhood memory of Shadowgate on the NES taught me that there’s no harm in trying again — only in needing to win everything.

The music for #BeyondShadowgate was brilliantly made by @ofalconer.bsky.social, who also made the music for our previous games, Infested and Spectacle. Go check out his bandcamp, and give him a follow.

Just played the #Shadowgate remake on Steam—solid job! Wish they bundle the NES or original Mac version. I still love the NES chiptune that stuck with me. Rich Douglas’ 2014 OST is fantastic. The Grim Reaper from NES version that shows up when you die creeped me out when I was a kid! 😅 #retrogaming

A pixel art scene with an altar with a goat on top, stained glass, and a dark setting. There is a textbox that says "An altar with a goat placed atop, seemingly ready for ritual use."

New #Castlegate screen, depicting the altar in the Chapel.

When drawing the madragora is Gwenynthel Castle in #BeyondShadowgate, I used a crumpled up toilet paper tube. For the Magic Lens, I just held up my Snowball Mic.

Any time you see protagonist Del's hands, they're my hands

In #BeyondShadowgate you encounter The Gatekeeper within Gatekeeper Mountain

It's an Elder being with omniscient-like vision that violates the aesthetic distance

My design was taken directly from the box art to the original '87 #Macintosh release of #Shadowgate

For fun, I put together a proof of concept of what a Sherlock Holmes game would look like in the NESventure style of Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and The Uninvited

I had intended to stream with @dmw45.bsky.social tonight, with the pair of us going through the original #Shadowgate. But my health took an unexpected dip this afternoon and I've been physically crumpled ever since. Going out to get food did the opposite of helping. However... (1/3)

An amazing review of our game #BeyondShadowgate from last year by Dennis Fleaman of @retrolike.bsky.social

I get chocked up when I read flattering reviews of our games, cause I love sharing my passion for #RetroGames, #PointAndClickAdventure games, and #Shadowgate

In #BeyondShadowgate, the four jewels on the bottom shelf in the treasury are the jewels you collect in Wizard on #C64

Wizard was an important part of my childhood as it made me fall in love with level design with it's level editor mode

"What's wrong?" she grinned. "Scared?"

"I'm worried about this #Shadowgate, yes," I said. "And the giant #spiders hunting us."

"Just don't think about it," she laughed, diving through the #volatile gate on brute impulse.

Sighing, I followed.

Ah well.
