    I for one think it’s super cool that we can show an AI the first 5 minutes of a video game and it can learn and rebuild it for future preservation. I’m gonna try it with a lot of games I’ve missed over the years like Frog Fractions and Inscryption

    Played Inscryption last week and by GOD, I love it so fucking much. But it does unfortunately feel like they ran out of budget halfway through. Not that the game i played wasn't satisfying, but the way they wrap things up makes it feel like I'm only playing half the full game, if that makes sense?

    We didn't copy or get inspired by Inscryption and Balatro as I've been making solitaire games since 2007, but those games helped lay the groundwork for more people to be willing to try out our wacky solitaire game, and I'm very grateful for that!

    This is peak rougelike, sure act 2 was sad but act 1 and 3 are amazing, so much so that I reset my data twice just to play act 1 again and again, and it has a lot of stuff to do after you beat the game, hence my over 400 hours in it (I'm unemployed)

    I would absolutely love to see Magnificus and Gimora's world fully fledged out. Leshy and P03 both had their whole world in the game, but Id die to have the other scrybes worlds. Maybe as DLCs or after you beat the game you can go into their version of the game. Idk either way I love this game to death, I will get all of the achievements one day !

    Inscryption is truly one of those rare games that completely pulls you in and refuses to ever let go. What starts as a simple, eerie card game slowly unravels into something so much deeper and more entertaining than you ever expect. The atmosphere is incredible, the soundtrack I literally put in my playylist, and the way the story breaks the fourth wall is genuinely unbelievable. Every run feels meaningful, and the mechanics are easy to learn but insanely satisfying to master. I loved how…
