Finally had a chance to spend more time painting today. Made some good progress! I might even finish this in time for the game launch next week?

OK so technically I found Jake but he’s unconscious and then I wound up in the hospital. Let’s try to do more of a rescue this time. Continuing The Tower~ https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #MARCHintosh

Let’s get back to uncovering Marie Antoinette’s secrets in Wisconsin. Continuing Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower~ https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

I’m starting The Tower, a World Builder game from 1986 by Louise Hope. My friend Jake got lost in some castle ruins and I gotta rescue him. https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #MARCHintosh

I noticed the Enchanted Scepters Wikipedia page has a terrible screenshot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_Scepters I thought I would upload a better one at the correct resolution. The site told me I had to create an account to upload images, so I did. But now it's pointing me to a Wikimedia Commons page that plainly states I can't upload screenshots of software even if it's fair use. I guess if I make ten edits my account may get confirmed but that could be years from now. So, enjoy this screenshot.

Transfer Point is a point-and-click adventure game for Macintosh. It was made in World Builder and MacPaint, and it fits on an 800K floppy disk. It also has an egret. Coming soon for most web browsers, or as a download to play on your classic Mac. https://robotspacer.software/transfer-point.html #MARCHintosh

Here’s my playthrough of another important HyperCard game: Caper in the Castro by C.M. Ralph. It’s the first game to focus on LGBTQ themes. It’s a point-and-click murder mystery, and it has a lot of charm. I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADdfysIYFxQ You can play it here on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/hypercard_caper-in-the-castro The game was thought to be lost for several years; I’m so glad it was eventually recovered. #MARCHintosh

Me firing a mortar in literally any video game: “this is just like Airborne! from Silicon Beach Software”

Well, time to mess with enormous machines we know nothing about I guess! Continuing Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower~ https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

Last week, @scummvm@manitu.social announced that they’ve started testing their World Builder engine, with support for hundreds of old Mac adventure games. Here’s why I’m excited about it, and why you should be too! https://robotspacer.tv/news/scummvm-world-builder.html

Really enjoyed the new welcome screen on macOS 15
