What do you do with Horus? I got into the site, but going into the site didn't seem to do anything. Do I have to go to the websites of the people mentioned in the contest and find the eyes?

I did love the detail of the webmaster calling somebody out for talking about Horus outside of the site, and you can assume it's the guy whose password you used because it's something like "ra ra horus".

I finished this a while back but it's been bouncing around in my beefbrain a while. It really felt like a trip back to being a teenager. For how bizarre and weird everything was, it felt really authentic... sorta like how it actually was in the 90's. I liked Tim's site, it was like the kind of thing that I would have thought was really cool as a teen, and I'd have wished I was savvy enough to make something so cool. I felt bad for Rebekah, the squishers fan, but I guess I'm glad she had to quit.

Odddzy posted:Has there been any comment by the creators on the fact that this game pumped a bunch of ideas off Tetrageddon and hasn't given any credit to the creator of that game? Hi. Here's a numbered list of fun facts: 1) I've been an enormous fan of Nathalie's work after discovering it at a Fantastic Arcade in 2015. I've made numerous tweets supporting her work, and I've also retweeted almost every new announcement of hers. At least as much as they come across my twitter feed. I've signal boosted whenever possible, so it's enormously disheartening to me that I'm dealing with a barrage of garbage from people who don't know how to use internet search. 2) Hypnospace's initial prequel, also featuring a fake os and pastiche on "information superhighway" concept (albeit a FAR less robust one) was from May of 2014, a full year and a half before I discovered her stuff. Here's the trailer for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T67HmBbIPRs 3) Hypnospace Outlaw is only similar to Tetrageddon in that it contains things also common in late 1990s web and CD-ROM software. Virtual Pets, etc etc. This is a broad field and it isn't a scandal that multiple developers who were brought up at around the same time would make multiple games set in fake operating systems featuring emulations of the things that actually existed at the time. One person doesn't own this space, and her work isn't even the first place I encountered a fake OS in interactive media. Did you even play Tetrageddon though? They're completely structurally different and the aesthetic isn't even similar. They also serve completely different purposes: Nathalie's works are very personal, abstract, zine-y, and expressive while mine are very game-y, character driven, and lore/worldbuilding based. If you want to find where I really pumped ideas from, check this stuff out: - http://oocities.org - CD-ROMS from https://archive.org & a WinXP virtual machine - netcafe: https://archive.org/details/netcafe - One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age (among other work by Olia Lialina and Despens) http://blog.geocities.institute - EDIT: almost forgot, this podcast: http://www.internethistorypodcast.com/ I get that it must suck to all of a sudden have a folks cite MY game as the first of its kind when you've done "fake OS" stuff a while, but I can't control what other people say or think. I can't help that my game got relatively popular. The fact remains that they really are completely different projects. Her work is amazing but if I wanted to "pump" ideas it wouldn't have ended up the same. Gaspy Conana fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Apr 3, 2019 |

Gaspy Conana posted:Hi. Here's a numbered list of fun facts: Fair enough, I'll look into your post and not judge too quick (I'll edit my previous post). I don't know much and I do believe you've put a tremendous amount of effort in the game from what little I can see. But at the same time, if there are too many similairites and you got popular, people will ask questions. I was having a conversation over lunch with a coworker that mentioned her work and how she's quite disappointed about the fact she feels like she doesn't get much credit given for her work and reading her words on twitter and others I believe comparisons can be done to Hypnospace but I'll reserve judgement in good faith once i've gone through both games.

Aaaand I go to the Tetrageddon page to check out what you guys are talking about for myself, only to find out I've already bookmarked it  Turns out she made Anatomically Incorrect Dinosaurs, so that's cool. Also I tossed her a sixer and bought her "game", so at least some good came out of all this! Also thanks, I couldn't for the life of me remember what that Geocities online archive was called. Gonna be digging through that for a while. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Apr 4, 2019 |

"90s OS simulator" actually seems to be growing into something of a small subgenre as of late (see also: Her Story and that one game where I think you're a trans girl and you're browsing a forum in like 1999 but I cannot remember the name for the life of me) which is actually kind of cool

I'm not reading this topic because I want to avoid any potential surprises and spoilers but holy poo poo this game is incredible and I love it. I didn't expect it to be so deep and have fun puzzles to work out that make me feel smart while tickling my nostalgia and making me genuinely laugh so hard. A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making this game and it absolutely deserves discussion in any Game of the Year debates because I've never seen a concept nailed so perfectly.

I loved the rollercoaster of emotions I felt during the Gumshoe Gooper case and aftermath. I felt bad about flagging a page full of children's drawings so I actually chose to just banhammer the CGI Goopers and leave the drawings alone, and didn't flag the teacher. Then there was an uproar about it later and I felt even worse, until I noticed the most vocal people were horrible "MUH FREE SPEECH" rightwinger types. Then I read about the creator of Gumshoe Gooper and felt vindicated as I went on a banhammer spree. gently caress Gumshoe Gooper.

My only regret putting this together was that I couldn't find the proper banhammer image in the game files, pretty sure that one is from one of the "under construction" gifs. I think the program I used to stitch together the two gifs (animation shop) is from the 90s too, maybe early 2000s King Vidiot posted:Then I read about the creator of Gumshoe Gooper and felt vindicated as I went on a banhammer spree.
