While we're celebrating Zelda's 40th, I want to give some love to some of the foundational action adventure games that predated it. Hydlide, in particular, deserves more respect outside of Japan for what it did for the genre in '84 (PC88).

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Winnie's Hole is out in Early Access - it's a deranged and ingenious little roguelike from the creators of Ring Of Pain 😁 Congratulations to the team, and thanks again for giving me a home on the project when League Of Geeks had to disband ❤️

A big sheet of paper with random notes and sketches using colored markers scattered haphazardly.
Various ideas are written like "Fire is grid based and spreads :(" and "Questions: real time or turn based?"

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL -
Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers.

You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

📷Point calculation still buggy, but we're getting there.
Tiny Kingdoms is a peaceful building game where you draw packs of cards to place new tiles and grow your kingdom.

Panel 1: A father in a blue shirt and khaki pants is holding up the world (represented by a small version of planet Earth) in front of his daughter. The daughter has messy hair with a braid going above the ears on both sides, to the back where it becomes a ponytail, and wears a pink t-shirt and yellow skirt. She is reaching for the world. The father says "Daughter. Like any good father, I want to give you the world."

Panel 2: Closeup of her little pants reaching for the world, which is resting in his big hand.

Panel 3: The father pulls his hand away, out of reach of this little hands, which are now uncertain and defeated. The background darkens.

Panel 4: "... If you can TAKE it from me," says the father. They are now in space, seemingly atop a solid pond reflecting the stars. The father is drippling the world between his legs, stanced up for some 1v1, with a basketball hoop behind him. The daughter looks on in the foreground.

Comic. A snake slithers around a hypercube. No two non-consecutive parts of its coils can be on adjacent corners. [Three small 4-dimensional hypercubes showing disallowed options with one large cube with snake wrapped around it. Dimensions = 4. Max Length - 7.] Snake(N) = Longest snake that can fit in an n-dimensional hypercube. Snake(N=1, 2, 3…8) = 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 26, 50, 98. Snake(N>8) = UNSOLVED. [caption] It turns out every scientific field has a key thought experiment that involves putting a cute animal in a weird box for no reason. So far, quantum mechanics and graph theory have found theirs, but most other fields are still working on it.

Panel 1

Polly isn't able to sleep. As much as she enjoys being in bed and wide awake, she decides to get up and move around a little. She is wearing one a shirt that says "FoRK FiGHT". This is one item of many that she has purchased from her favorite band.

Polly (Thinking): If sleep is so important, why is it so hard to get?

Panel 2

Polly notices that the kitchen light is on. Who dares disturb Polly's lack of slumber?

Polly (Thinking): Is someone up?

Panel 3

Polly looks into the kitchen and sees her mom, Penelope, at the table. She's got a steaming cup of something in a mug labelled "COMFORT JUICE". She's crying.

Polly (Thinking): Is Mom crying? I never see her cry?

Panel 4

Polly begins to walk away and contemplate what she just saw.

Polly (Thinking): I get so caught up in my problems. I forget Mom has them too.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

In the latest Dungeon Alchemist update, we’ve added multi-level building. We wanted this new feature to feel familiar and easy to use. So, we made it as simple as placing a one-room on top of another.

Now you can build as high as you like or as deep underground as your system allows.
