SQHistorian@lemm.eeOPMto Adventure / Point-and-Click / Narrative Games@lemm.ee•Interview about the music of The 7th Guest and The 11th HourEnglish2·2 years agoWait, who downvoted this? 😅 I’m not mad, I’m just curious as to how a link to an interview could make someone go, “Nope, this is trash. To the pit of Hades with you.”

SQHistorian@lemm.eeMto Adventure / Point-and-Click / Narrative Games@lemm.ee•[@adventuregames](https://lemm.ee/c/adventuregames) Test posting from Mastodon. Please ignore this. I'm new to this and vulnerable, like a faun in the woods... but tough, like a faun with a machine guEnglish7·2 years agoWell… It works, but a couple of notes (mostly to myself, but, experts, feel free to weigh in) for the future:
- Don’t lead with the “@adventuregames” tag. It’s messy.
- Keep titles short, 'cos it copies the contents of the post as the title.
- Figure out if there’s a way to split title and post content in the Mastodon toot, so the post content isn’t just a copy of the title.
- I can’t edit the post after the fact ('cos my Mastodon user and Lemmy user are, as far as this platform is concerned, two different people), and I’m worried if I edit the toot on Mastodon, it’ll just post a new thread here instead of editing the existing one.
SQHistorian@lemm.eeMto Adventure / Point-and-Click / Narrative Games@lemm.ee•The Rise and Fall of Trilobyte [developers of The 7th Guest] - by Geoff KeighleyEnglish2·2 years agoThis is a fantastic article. I’m actually working on a 7th Guest/11th Hour retrospective video (probably because I’ve got Stauf on my brain due to our Kickstarter), and this article is pretty much my go-to reference. I haven’t seen a lot of videos touch on the how’s and why’s of those games — YouTubers seem mostly content with just snarking at the hammy acting and the slow node transitions — and I kinda wanna make a video that explains why that is… while also snarking at the hammy acting and slow node transitions. 😁

And he hit the nail right on the head: For all its flaws (few and far between), Kyrandia 2 does what a fantasy game should do: make you wish you could actually go there yourself.

SQHistorian@lemm.eeOPMto Adventure / Point-and-Click / Narrative Games@lemm.ee•What's an underrated classic you feel more people should know about?English1·2 years agoA lot of people really hold this one in very high regard. Unfortunately, with regards to a rerelease, the rights situation is a tangled spiderweb of immense proportions.
Will take any excuse to recommend this album: Sybreed - The Pulse of Awakening
