CyrikGot my first clear of Campanella.Aaaaand it's one of those games where I see the cherry disk requirements and go "yeah nah that ain't happenin'." But that's okay.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a>

DarschE anche oggi siamo pronti per registrare due nuove puntate di <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a> per YouTube! Questo gioco mi sta stregando… 😍

Also learned sunrise and sunsets are fundamentally different colors (really shows I'm not an early bird and wouldn't have known until I had to look it up). Hope peeps can tell which it is :)Overall the palette was generous and easy to work with (32 specific colors instead of 16 afaik arbitrary ones in GBA), with the exception of brown. Only really notice how often I use earthy tones when they're almost gone! Ended up using a fun combination of red blue and light brown to make the back seat look leathery brown-black.Especially happy with the water splash also.

lachlan slowly taming rustI think the only thing I really wish UFO-50 had that it doesn't is a decent CRT emulation<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ufo50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ufo50</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a>

lachlan slowly taming rustGot <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a> yesterday.I really like Overbold. That could be a decent standalone title without the other 50.

james is hereAt the end of Mini & Max, depending on which ending you get, you either exit the storage closet into the party, where this track(reprising Party House) plays:<a href="https://phlogiston.bandcamp.com/album/ufo-50?t=294" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://phlogiston.bandcamp.com/album/ufo-50?t=294</a>Or you reverse time and exit into silence.There is something noteworthy about this and where this game is positioned in the UFO50 metatext, beyond just having one game reference the other. A core theme of the meta is to discuss the ambiguous nature of work versus play: the general plot arc of UFOSoft is to be founded by dreamers who "play at work", and then gradually fade into drudgery as so many companies do.The inciting event of Mini & Max is of a mirror shattering - that's used to explain why Mini is able to talk to her dog and go on a size-shifting adventure in the storage closet. I haven't worked out all the times mirrors are referenced within UFO50 but a major callout comes in the Miasma Tower sequences, where Gregory Milk looks in the mirror and "can't see Pigman anymore, just his tired and grey face" (paraphrased) - seeing the mirror is taken to mean a world put in order, one that has put its fantasy away.In most games with multiple endings, the "best" ending tends to be the one with the more miraculous, unlikely things occurring. But in Mini & Max, the cherry achievement, the harder ending to get, is also the one where the mirror is intact, order is restored, you never witness the party happening and just go outside. While in the gold ending, the magic fully escapes and Mini uses her powers to terrorize the party.The games chronologically located after Mini & Max start to strip down their credits, eventually just to first/last initials. And the party guests in Party House, which are reprised in that last scene, are "friends of the developers". IOW, this game puts you in control of the "UFOSoft magic". When you cherry clear it, you've put things in order, which means the magic can no longer happen, because it always relied on chaos.When you break a mirror, the saying goes, it's "seven years bad luck".Barbuta, game 1: August 1982. "Developed secretly on company time" Cyber Owls, game 50: July 1989. <a href="https://pounced-on.me/tags/ufo50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ufo50</a> <a href="https://pounced-on.me/tags/gameing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gameing</a> <a href="https://pounced-on.me/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://pounced-on.me/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a>

VictoriaI think <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a> has cured me of the compulsion to seek progress over enjoyment from the games I play.

jmacI'd love a plush toy of this guy. <a href="https://masto.nyc/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a>

jmacAlso I finished the main quest in Mooncat last night. Less than an hour start-to-finish, but not easy, and I'd bounced off it more than once. It felt like a special accomplishment on my birthday.Searching for "Mooncat fan art" mostly returns photographs of folks' fingernails coz the word is far better known as a brand of nail paint than as a <a href="https://masto.nyc/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a> game. But here's a lovely image I found from the artist known as Poison Slime, which was rescued from dearly missed Cohost by the Internet Archive.

jmacFinally got a goldang cherry at <a href="https://masto.nyc/tags/UFO50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UFO50</a>. Camouflage is a great little puzzle game. The hardest puzzles are tight, static stumpers that made me think "There's nothing to work with here; how is this even possible?” and forced me to set the game down for a few days so I could solve it subconsciously. I love this effect. <a href="https://masto.nyc/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videogames</a>
