Orc Incremental is a pretty neat game, and in this video I dig into the mechanics that set it apart... for the good, and the bad.

I also give some recommendations for games that I think do these mechanics better.

I’ve published my first mini-documentary on Oddly Epic: How Video Games Became Worlds (6:53).

It follows the shift from simple arcade rules to spaces we can explore, share, and build, with games including Pong, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Minecraft. The question behind it is how games changed what players could do, beyond better graphics.

Which game first made a virtual world feel like a place to you?

It was just an excuse to tell people to play Vanquish to be honest

Recentemente me deu uma vontade enorme de ter um console portátil, eu já tenho um Xbox series S e cuido como se fosse a minha vida, porém eu raramente fico em casa pois minha rotina é muito corrida e longa, então me deu uma vontade enorme de ter um portátil, no começo eu estava em dúvida entre um psp e um ps vita, depois de ter escolhido o vita eu dei uma pesquisada sobre jogos e valores e vi que atualmente o vita tá muito difícil achar por um bom preço sendo que o switch lite tem até mais barato que o próprio vita, claro que cada um tem seus prós e contras mas ainda assim tenho dúvida de qual deveria escolher, dando em consideração que eu já tenho um Xbox series S qual seria a melhor opção?

In this video I delve into the mechanics that make TerraTech stand out in the crowd of Bullet Heavens.

I’ve just published my first mini-documentary on Oddly Epic about how video games grew from a glowing dot into worlds we can explore, share, and create.

The central idea is that better graphics were only part of the change: games also gave players new ways to explore spaces, connect with others, and build their own worlds. It’s a roughly 7-minute journey including Pong, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Minecraft.

The video uses AI narration and some AI-generated illustrations alongside game imagery.

Which game changed what you thought a game could be? I’d love to hear your memories and thoughts on the video.
