I'm giving streaming a chance. Be ready to see this grumpy unicorn to play games (I'm actually not always grumpy, I swear). www.twitch.tv/mordry91
Check out my games on the Games In Italy Steam sale page! Yeah, they were already free but... it's still a nice chance to have them seen again ♥ Since you're there, support some italian games! There's some beautiful stuff~
I have zero appreciation for the latest Tim Burton movies, I believe her really lost his touch (or will to do good stuff). Though, yesterday I saw Beetlejuice 2 and I must admit it was somehow half-decent, which is a big step up from his latest movies. You take what you can get I guess.
I swear to god I can hear this image. My brain immediately starts playing that beautiful music. Incredible how strong of an impression this game can make even before pressing a damn button and actually starting it.
Played through Landlord of the Woods. I already played Birth, so I knew what to expect. Usually, a puzzle game with little to no challenge should not work but I can't seem to dislike these games. It's just so pleasing to see what will happen next, what absurdity will come out of my next interaction
2024 roundup! Nine Sols is probably my personal GOTY ❤️
Still amazed by I Am Your Beast. Especially, by how @strangescaffold.bsky.social managed to use the over-tweaked aspects of their FPS, which commonly would be seen as mistakes (massive health bar, dumb enemy IA, insane auto-aim), to craft a masterclass of precise, fast paced combat.
A little ashamed of it but I feel like I haven't played Starcraft and Gran Turismo enough to mark them. I've also played them so many years ago... Also, I know I have to play Chrono Trigger. It's been in my list for years. I feel like that's the biggest hole in my gaming culture 🥲
Cavern of Dreams let's you jump and hit the floor with your tail to propel you forward at ludicrous speed... This game is fucking awesome already (and so cute it melts my heart)❤️
Totally plan on finishing Psychonauts 2. I started it at the beginning of 2024 but interrupted it cause I got busy and then left it there and it feels so bad cause the game was actually already incredible.
Right after reaching 100% completion for the incredible Sorry We're Closed (yeah, I fucking adored that game in case it's not clear) I tried En Garde! and I'm already really into it. It's been quite a while since I had such a nice gaming moment where I play great games back to back! Feels so nice!
"Show me the four GAMES that influenced YOUR current game project." #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev In my free time, I might be working on a crazy indie action platforming game 👀
Yesterday night I finally took the time to start Sorry We're Closed (thanks to @ashthebadwolf.bsky.social). This game is fucking wild. So rare to see something so visually stunning while having good writing and an interesting gameplay. I'm so looking forward to see more 💪
5 - Game character you feel most like I felt an incredible connection with Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue. For better or worse, I tend to feel represented when I see characters that get eaten by their obsession, getting to self destructive levels.
4 - Guilty pleasure game Don't judge me too harshly but... I actually liked Duke Nukem Forever. Dunno if it was because I was so happy it was finally out. I know a lot of people hated it but I remember really enjoying it despite some problems. Should try it again, see what I think of it now.
2 - Favorite Character Not sure he's my number 1 character, but he's super up there. Travis Touchdown is the perfect representation of the idiotic player. Thinks he's cool but he's actually a loser obsessed with violence and the idea of proving his apparent strength with senseless destruction.
Especially on cereals boxes for who knows what reason 🥣
On steam like 75% of my wishlist is in sale... and I have 831 games in wishlist. That's fucking insane. (Bought Pumpking Jack btw, been keeping an eye on it for too long 🎃).
I'm pretty sure my very first game was Super R-Type for Snes. It was hard as balls and I never finished it of course but damn, I got obsessed by it and kept on playing nonetheless. I think I was 4. Probably started teaching me early how to appreciate hard games.
Since nobody on the internet can resist cats, here's a picture of me with my evil black cat: Photon (also known as Palpatin) 🐈⬛
Hello everyone! I haven't been much active lately but seeing the recent surge of people here I think it's time to change that. I'm Lorenzo Biagini, senior game designer, cinema enthusiast, obscure horror stuff hunter and unicorn emoji addict 🦄 Here's some games I've worked on 🌈 #gamedev
