Djinn tells the story of a young woman looking into her long lost grandmother’s past as a concubine in a harem in the 19th century. The series is beautifully illustrated by Ana Miralles and written by Jean Defaux. This video shows her working her magic, creating the beautiful watercolor art for the comic in her studio. Enjoy ;)

    To this day I prefer the old version, but the commercial one is a great game too (it has good bones lol).

    Sweet. I still play it too (web version) and am *still* kind of refining my game in certain ways. Still learning to avoid making dumb errors, still trying to learn how to best kill shopkeepers, etc.

    I do have the first remake, but frankly with my aging reflexes and health issues, it’s just too much for me, nevermind Spelunky 2.

    It was an interesting and exciting time. It’s still crazy to me to see Minecraft blow up like it did from this little project on the forums to this video game giant.

    Yeah, love it! It’s great when that works out, and in Derek’s case in particular, I really admire how much titanic effort he put in to continuing on with the project via the three released games, plus source version (allowing all those crazy mods), plus a book IIRC.

      They have a browser version? Or do you just mean free download version? I run Linux and when I tried the old version it didn’t play well with WINE sadly.

      Derek is a workhorse for sure. Have you seen his new project: UFO50? I’ve played a few of the 50(!) different games, all good stuff so far. A nice little homage to old retro computer games all ZX Spectrum late 80s era stuff.

          Oh man, that’s awesome. It made me sad that the old version didn’t work through WINE. It ran, but at like double speed, which made the game too twitchy to play. I’ll have to bookmark that for when I’m at the library (my internet service at home is garbage right now).

          Yep! My favorite so far was the scifi-themed golf game, can’t remember the name. I haven’t touched it in awhile since I’ve been busy.

          The game that gets most of my attention these days is Shiren the Wanderer The Eye of God and the Devil’s Navel on PSP (through an emulator on Android). I just beat the DS version of Shiren weeks ago for the first time after playing off and on for about twenty years (I never really got serious about completing it until now, it was always a casual timewasting roguelike for me) and moved onto the PSP fan translation of Devil’s Navel.
