Thank you to everyone who boosted and made suggestions, and especially to the devs who took time to tell me about their process.
I got far more responses than I could have hoped for, not all of which have made it into this 500 word afterword, but which I will be following up on in feature pitches, tutorials, and regular columns in the coming months.
The Fediverse truly has one of the most vibrant and engaged games development communities for retro platforms that I've ever been it, and it's a pleasure interacting with you all.
Did you release a game for a retro platform in 2023?
DOS? GBA? Mega Drive? C64? NES? PS1? Wii? Speccy?
Or do you know of one that you really like as a player?
Can you tell me about it within the next 14 hours?
I'm writing a very fast turn-around article for a retro book that I'm handing over first thing tomorrow morning and I want to finish it up by name checking some modern retro games, including those that aren't necessarily on my radar.
I obviously know about notable stuff like The Aching, Briley Witch 2, GoodBoy Galaxy, and Barren Planet, but there's just so much cool software coming out on "dead" platforms and I'd like to know about anything amazing that I might have missed.
It's currently about 15:30 UTC on the 10th of January 2024. That means your cut-off is around 5:30 UTC on the 11th of January. The sooner the better, though.
