Super Banjo-Kazooie RPG

Playing around with the MSX color pallete to try and make something you’d see on FMtownsmarty, hopefully using this for a short thing I wrote for Twine a year ago.

Apple Quest Monsters!

Over 50 lovingly crafted sprites and descriptions of monsters from a non existant RPG, inspired by my childhood love of reading strategy guides for games I never played.

4 of the monsters here previously appeared in my Guide to Ghosts.

I spent a lot of time on each monster, so I hope you enjoy reading them!

I had a dream about a comic/video game series: immense vintage sci-fi landscapes, scattered with Potemkin-village middlebrow strip malls. Some mysterious entity keeps rebooting this world, taking a different role within it each time.

The protagonist was a housewife of some sort, and she was either trapped in this Matrix-type simulation or she was part of the simulation that had become self-aware.

The rest of the population was polite enough, but turns immensely hostile whenever she violates arcane taboos.

The comic version had kind of a 90s alt-underground feel, and I recognized it as “a bit silly but cutting-edge for the time”; the video game adaptation had Bioshock-style stealth, gunplay, and improvised weaponry, plus some randomized roguelike elements.

Anyone play Day of the Tentacle or Grim Fandango? Tim Schafer is the man. Oh, and True Detective was good too.
