    I want to wish @maschimensch.bsky.social a very happy 10-year birthday. I've been an illustrator for nearly 24 years and working for Johannes and Riad and the MM team (on Curious Expedition 2) was one of my favourite experiences. Go wish-list their new game, Mother Machine, on Steam!

    ...though Curious Expedition is an interesting case because combat can be fairly incidental to the game, which is much more based around pathfinding on the overmap. Which gives it a more fluid feel than some games where the map is basically a menu to pick combats.

    every "roguelike deckbuilder" I've seen is overmap. down to Slice & Dice trimming the overmap to nothing, just a straight path through the fights. many other game types are overmap; FTL, Binding of Isaac/Hades organized into discrete fights you have to clear to move on, Curious Expedition...

    Oxenfree: A great narrative game about ghosts and time loops. Rusty Lake Roots: A puzzle game with a creepy atmosphere. Curious Expedition: A globe-trotting rpg.

    The 13th game I beat this year was Curious Expedition. It reminded me of Renowned Explorers but a bit worse. It was interesting that it featured historical figures but I think it also makes it brush up against the problems of those historical figures sometimes. For others it doesn't make much sense.

    Looking back at the modding wiki we did for Curious Expedition 1, it' actually a pretty sophisticated insight into how the game was made: curious-expedition.fandom.com/wiki/Modding...

    "A portfolio book I made for myself (using Blurb) to collect the art I produced for the computer game, Curious Expedition 2. It is not for sale, just one copy exists for my own archive." - Garen Ewing @garenewing.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vi6...

    The graphics and animations remind a little bit of Curious Expedition 2. Game looks awesome 😎👍

    If you've never played it, I'd highly suggest Disco Elysium. There are also some games I've played like Dicey Dungeons, the Curious Expedition games, maybe the Renowned Explorers games. Lastly there is Balatro, and I think the Audiosurf games are also mouse only games even for a rhythm game.

    The funniest tiny baby meltdown I’ve ever seen on Steam was a guy who got banned from the Curious Expedition forum because he was FURIOUS that the game had a normal mode.

    More of the same as last week! GTFO with friends and the Curious Expedition road continues. We finished VirtuaVerse last Sunday, so this week we are starting an indie RPG for Narrative Game Sundays called YAGA. As a fan of Slavic folklore, I am quite looking forward to it.

    Oh, nice, I actually remember Curious Expedition! Congrats on the game, looks great. Your suggested names sound too generic to me (not unlike Curious Expedition itself). Maybe a reference to some work of Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the name would be cool. I like the name of the place (Côte d'Azur) too.

    If you haven't played it already, I've really been enjoying the new Fantasy Life game. An oldie, but lots of fun is Curious Expedition. And I've been trying my hand at Nightmare Kart as well, and it's been really good so far.

    Curious Expedition 1 & 2 are both woke because being racist and sexist are considered 'ailments' within the game. At least we can stop pretending.
