Throughout June, I’ve been focusing more on other projects so Other Minds has been ignored a little bit. I made two games throughout the month; Silent Bill and Ben Was Assimilated. I have got a little done with making some new levels and adding additional mechanics, but it’s been a bit of a slow month otherwise.

Theme Park World (aka Sim Theme Park) was released in 1999 as the sequel to Bullfrog’s Theme Park. It was the 4th game in Bullfrog’s series of games about construction and management. The game brings the original Theme Park up to date, and it does an amazing job of it! It’s presented in 3d and a lot of the financial management stuff that I didn’t like about the original game is gone, with the focus moved much more towards construction.

Nepenthe is a narrative driven RPG drawn entirely in crayons. It was part of the itch.io bundle for racial justice and equality. Whilst browsing hundreds upon hundreds of games in the bundle, this one caught my eye because of the unique art style so I decided to give it a go.

All You Can Eat is a short point and click adventure game stylised like a comic-book by Gamechuck. I picked this game out whilst browsing through the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality.

If you recently purchased the itch.io bundle for racial justice and equality, you’ll probably be like me – completely confounded by the number of games you now own. I’ve picked out a few interesteing looking games to try out, starting with Thing-in-Itself.
Thing-in-Itself is a short interactive story by Party for Introverts that explores a concept from Immanuel Kant’s philosophy and guides you through a short narrative.

Silent Bill is my most recent game. It’s a escape room style point and click made for the “I can’t draw but want to make a game (again)” game jam. Ducks have kidnapped you and are holding you captive in a beach hut. Your goal is to take them out and escape.

Theme Park is a Theme Park management/business sim from way back in 1994 made by Bullfrog Productions. It was very popular at the time and a lot of people have good memories of it, myself included. It has had a few ports, including Playstation and Nintendo DS, versions but this post will be about the original DOS version.

Towards the end of May, I published a new update to the Other Minds demo build (feel free to try it out and let me know what you think). It now features an overhauled difficulty system and I’ve added the musical gauntlet level I was working on throughout the month. I’ve also been working on Other Minds just over one year now, so I’ll talk a bit about where I was when I started.

Psychonauts is a 3d platformer originally released in 2005. You play as Razsputin, a boy who runs away from the circus to join a summer camp for children gifted with psychic abilities. In the game, you get to enter and explore various people’s minds in order to train Raz’s psychic abilities. Later on in the game, you will help characters overcome their traumatic memories and fears.
Continue readingWii Fit was a massive craze way back in 2008, a craze I was not a part of. As a teenager, I didn’t see much appeal in Wii Fit and was busy playing some of the other classic games of the Wii. Like Rayman Raving Rabbids. Recently, with everyone finding themselves stuck inside with not that much to do, the Wii Fit has seen a sudden resurgence in popularity. As such, I’ve decided now is the perfect time to write about it. In particular, I’ll be writing about the cycling game. The cycling game allows you to freely ride around the island without restriction, so it’s a unique game in the collection.
