    I (so far) played 83 different games and demos in 2024. Here's a few I feel like talking about, in roughly chronological order. (a thread) Roadwarden This game feels like a warm blanket with a coffee and balancing on the edge of a knife at the same time. It fully consumed my thoughts for weeks.

    @razbuten.bsky.social Check out my Roadwarden if you're interested in seeing a modern take of an RPG with a time limit. A controversial part of the game to be sure, but supports everything about its design. Will use it again. ; )

    Every now and then, I find a discarded Roadwarden design from the early days. This "leaf" border is so bad, yet I keep thinking "what if". Also, the game is like 4 bucks or something on Steam atm, Summer sale and all. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

    I heard that Roadwarden is not working well on Switch 2, even though it works just fine on Switch 1. I've got no clue how this works, but the team behind the port is going to look into it. Still, right now - the game is on sale, both here and on Steam! #indiedev www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

    Roadwarden: Low fantasy, RPG, Grim This game is about the survival of individuals, communities, and greater society and how each struggles against the others. It is text-based but it has beautiful pixel art and an incredible soundtrack that sucks you in to the amazing story and world.

    Roadwarden is an rpg of all time. The writing reacts to your involvement in ways that feel subtle at first, and are only profound when you look back on it. You can fight cat/eagle voltron in a swamp. Advanced game progression involves getting a toothbrush.

    Finished playing The Pillars of the Earth visual novel game. I thought it was a really lovely way to adapt the story and the visuals were great. It had some very thoughtful writing in regards to the nature of God imo* Next game hoarded in my Steam Library I will start is Roadwarden methinks

    Although it is an RPG on paper, I personally am terrible at RPGs, and what Roadwarden felt like to me was a really rich choose your own adventure, with loads of hand-made surprises and reactivity. Really beautiful reflections on community, nature, imperialism, religion and lots more. Lovely game.

    It's completely understandable to be hesitant about a new direction of a game that’s related to something you enjoyed! But the truth is, I crave-love-need to pursue new stories and tools, and Roadwarden wouldn’t exist in the first place if I was to stick to the ideas I’m familiar with.

    Wolf hiding from big Gryphon, I made this art inspired by a game I was playing called "Roadwarden". The game uses a limited palette of color, so I borrowed that palette to try and produce an art in the same color-style. I'd never drawn a Gryphon before, but I tried by best to do something simple lol

    Roadwarden- this game does so much with so little. It’s the only majority-text old school game I’ve been able to do, I think that’s because the narrative is carefully controlled. At the same time, you can input lots of random stuff and usually it’s accounted for, it feels magical.

    Roadwarden is the game I always go out of my way to promote Text-based adventure with brilliant writing, a brilliant soundtrack, and some nice 16-bit visuals in a side window. I think about that game a lot. It's hard for me to put it on par with Disco Elysium, but in my mind they're very close.
