The Weirdest Part About The Ms. M&M Post Is If You Google “Bambi Ps2” You Get An Entire Fanon Wiki

Bluey! (Nintendo DS, 2005)

my submission for http://raid.community/ v1.0, ty for the invite @simon-no 🎮 available now! — D.E.A.T.H. Blossom [Delivering Every Angel Towards Heaven], named after the sudoku solving technique, is a hybrid survival horror/puzzle game where the player wakes up in an abandoned mental ward in a locked cell. Upon escaping their room, they discover they aren’t the only captive, and must solve a series of puzzles to rescue others from their respective cells.

What Is Black Skies?

Well, I may be cheating a bit for the drabble, but I might as well write what exactly that vector graphics-y game idea I was talking about is.

Black Skies, for the long and short of it, is a science-fantasy Zelda-like game idea that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while now, with a pseudo-vector-graphics style and a world inspired by pre-gaming-crash-styled games and the 70s-type sci-fi and fantasy it drew from, set in a world that has moved on, where you’re a lone mercenary set on rescuing a princess from a malevolent force of space demons .

Of course, the idea, as it stands so far, is a fair ways more complex than that, but read on for more info there…

Gonkaka Project Breakdown: Efiáltis pt. 1

So, this is something I’ve meant to do for a while! If you’ve followed my music close enough over the years, you’ll be familiar with one of the aliases I use, Gonkaka, and how it’s used for Video Game-styled songs and Chiptunes. One of the things I intend to use that alias for is full-fledged faux-soundtrack concept albums- albums styled to appear like they’re soundtracks for “real” games produced by the “company” Gonkaka works for in the lore of my various music aliases, Nincom- that are supplemented by writing and art to both help sell the concept, and give an indication of what the game would be like if it actually were real (so it’s kinda pulling double duty as fiction writing and design document). I’ve flirted with the concept a couple of times over the years- Battlemania: An Evil Supreme OST and Nightmare Busters Prototype Tracks- but I have accumulated a wealth of ideas for Gonkaka projects over the years that I’d like to work on. Problem is, I’ve… not actually written a lot of those ideas out, even the base stuff I’ve thought up that can be expanded on later. This little writing exercise- wherein I describe one of the most fleshed out future Gonkaka projects I’ve got so far, Efiáltis (which is heavily inspired by Splatterhouse, natch) as someone writing a guide / breakdown of it from the outside- was an attempt to actually start documenting these ideas in some concrete form. It’s not fully complete yet- it only goes up to the end of Efiáltis‘ third stage, as that’s where most of the concrete ideas for the project lie- but it will definitely be expanded upon. I will also be doing similar writing type things for the other Nincom titles I’ve dreamed up, again in an attempt to actually get me to document said ideas rather’n just leavin’ ‘em floatin’ ‘round my brain. Enjoy!

“Efiáltis” (Εφιάλτης; a rough Greek translation of the name “Nightmare House”) is easily Nincom’s most infamous title. Though the company is no stranger to either the horror genre or for games with somewhat depressing or bittersweet stories, Efiáltis is utterly uncompromising in both aspects to the point that it turned a lot of players off when it was first released in 1990, unto a market and an audience that wasn’t used to games as bleak or as graphic. Also controversial was the game’s choice of protagonist and the character that the plot dictated they were to save; they were clearly depicted to be a Lesbian couple, with no uncertainty. The fact that it has gained a tremendous cult following through emulation in recent years, however, suggests that rather then being an out-and-out failure, it was simply ahead of its time.
