Am I making this thread up? A thread to help find other threads!

Is there a thread for new games on old consoles? GB Studio homebrew type stuff?

new games for old hardware that are actually good

So I‘ve been interested in the trend of folks making new games for old hardware for a long time, but until xeno crisis I didn’t think anyone had actually done anything that was worth playing as anything other than a curiosity. I'm curious if other folks have played and legitimately liked any of the other titles that have come out in recent years. A short list: Genesis: Xeno Crisis (extremely recommended) Tanzer Tanglewood Dreamcast: All the Hucast games, but they're kind of on everyth…

Is there a thread for misinterpreted game visuals / artwork / sprites?

Feels vaguely familiar… like a dream I once had…

[exodus]

I feel like there’s something like this? But I’ll be danged if I can remember anything as far as how to find it (if it does in fact exist)

The Gamer's Misinterpretation (FKA the misheard lyrics of games)

I've always found the occasion of mishearing lyrics interesting. It can, for better or worse, give a song a different meaning. It can sometimes give us a funny story or maybe just slightly confuse us. What I want to know is if there an equivalent to this for playing video james? P.S. I am absolutely not here to hear about Street Fighter's accidental comboes becoming a system in future games. That would be like an artist remastering a single to include fan favourite lyrics (which has probably…

Is there a thread to talk about bonus content/episodes?

[Tom]

The incredible @esper creates a thread for each episode when released which is the usual discussion point for that specific one. This does include the Gaiden series as well.

You can go through this category which is the show topic and has anything tagged for it, such as Violence Island submissions and some of the ranking discussions.

Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Is there a “making video games” thread? There must be, but all the phrases I think up aren’t getting any results. I know we have a “Show Me Things You Made” thread, but I want a place to talk shop. I’m new to this whole thing and I am looking for a digital water cooler.

@TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee has an excellent thread on pico 8 game dev over at

PICO-8 Dev Diary

(You can now get to this thread via url ball.ninja for easy referencing) If you're here from my GDC Talk, here are the two cart outputs mentioned in that talk: [001 Cart 1] [Temporarily moved; will be edited back in shortly] Introduction I'm making a game in PICO-8, and I thought it would be interesting and instructive to detail my dev process as I went. This could also serve as a great place to ask questions to your fellow devs trying to work in PICO-8! This thread is going to get fairl…

I can’t recall if we have a general game dev one, but it feels like we should!

We have. Let me look

edit: found it

Game development tips, tricks, flexes, or general non-sense

Hey everyone! I dug through the threads a bit and saw a few threads dedicated to new games folks have developed that participate in the thread, but I thought it would be cool to have a general thread based around in-progress game development (both big and small games, 2D and 3D, whatever) and general non-sense based around that. I know in the past I‘ve wanted some quick critique or (to give quick critique) or inquire about some random cool technique I’ve seen in projects, so I figured this c…

Hiya, I’ve poked around the forums for a few months now and I like it here! Something I do is make comprehensive lists of whatever video game junk I find interesting, in the past I’ve done every time Nintendo puts hanafuda in a game, every Wii game that came in those dinky Wii Sports cardboard sleeves, and console games with no age rating. I’ve perused the threads but I’m not sure where people would be interested in talking about it? Thank you so much in advance, I just thought the people here might be interested ^^

[exodus]

Definitely interested!
I have two thoughts.

1. you could make a thread for lists people have made, starting with your own
2. once the insert credit front page is ready to take editorial again this is the kind of thing I’d put on there! But number one for now…

[skyevlyn]

Thank you! I had looked at https://forums.insertcredit.com/t/the-subtle-joy-of-making-lists/ but it seemed to me more about making lists of games people liked, I didn’t want to derail it or anything haha

Thanks for the advice! I hope you get the editorial stuff up soon, that sounds fun :D

[JoJoestar]

When I made that thread it was more in terms of making lists in general, just with a theme.

In fact if you check the first couple of pictures I uploaded you’ll see a bunch of books, games, comics and movies all mixed together, which maybe you didn’t realize because I wrote most of the titles in Spanish, as that is my first language (sorry) :P

[skyevlyn]

Ahhhh, I see Thank you for explaining! I did make a new thread anyhow, I like the specific game theming. I already learned about a cool forum member who made lists of cats, forklifts, and unofficial Mario appearances in games :D

[freakscene]

Is there already a Japanese thread? Further than the language learning one that is.

I saw there was a Spanish language thread and given I think several people are learning and there’s a discord floating around it may be nice to have a place for 日本語練習します。

Wanted to check before starting one.

[Death_Strandicoot]

Is there a thread to discuss upcoming games outside the “EXTRA! EXTRA!” video game news thread? Specifically, is there a place to discuss preview articles, new trailers, gameplay previews, and hopes/dreams for games that aren’t out yet, but also are already on people’s radars?

[rejj]

Not specifically, but Games you’re thinking about playing sometimes functions as a proxy

[dracula]

Do we already have a thread for transparent technology? I know we have a few hardware design threads and a console variant thread, but I’m looking for a place to just talk about and show off images of see-throughs.
