Finished the #MSX game Chrono Runner. My favourite entry of the 2025 MSXDev contest.
What a beautiful, smart and fine tuned game!
The time mechanic makes you ok to not use save startes, but I still needed them for the final boss.
Great game!

Looking at Wilds Unknown for Poorcana, a couple of good additions to Emerald Amethyst Burn, even for full core constructed in Wisp and RC, so naturally I made a new version of that deck

TIL that Disney Stores have a "ritual" for opening the shop every day.
It's a large lock that requires a giant key to be turned. The first person queueing helps turn the key, and they get a small replica of the key as a souvenir. #Disney

Results for the #MSX dev 2025 are out. Too many "overpowered" games into the top relying on new expansions for my personal preference.

A few excellent MSX-1 games crawled towards the top 10 spots. My favourites are Chrono Runner, Shift, and Space Bash.

My game ended up in the middle of the pack, which was expected, as it was a simple and unoriginal game, but highly polished.

@wink@chaos.social @grimalkina@mastodon.social back when I was speaking at conferences, I only ever got travel expenses 🤷‍♀️ But I think we can and should do better. Community based conferences, sure, can feed from the community, but bigger conferences should pay. The problem is that bigger conferences pay only a few speakers, and the rest get paid in "exposure".

@grimalkina@mastodon.social travel expenses is a minimum! Most of us are/were not even charging speaker's fees. I get that running a conference is expensive, but so are quality speakers. Not fair for people starting, you can't expect people to run sessions "for visibility" or "exposure".
