I recorded another video, actually a whole video series that will be continued in the future - it's quite boring but that won't stop me from posting it here. ^^

Unlike my previous gameplay videos this one has been recorded live, that is, I commented on my actions directly during gameplay - that's why the commentary isn't funny and as coherent as before. =)

Link for those who can't get the embedded videos to work:

A bit about the game itself - I've been playing it on and off for quite some time (2 years? I don't know.) and from a certain point on decided to post some bugs on Usenet, contact the author (he's a funny guy - you should read the comments in the source code or the in-game descriptions of certain things - almost Pratchett-esque), donate some money and stuff.

I explain what the game is in the video but for the deaf and mute among you (SonnY Black? :-D) it's a roguelike (turn-based dungeon crawling game) designed specifically for portable consoles - it started out as a GBA game, now it has spread onto the PSP, NDS and various other systems. The nice thing about it that it's intuitive, fast-paced (a run-through, if you manage to pull it off, is several hours long) and that it has some impressive surprises - things you wouldn't have expected to work so logically and realistically in a game seemingly so simple. Keep in mind that roguelikes are a very old genre of games without which we wouldn't have modern hack&slashers or cRPGs (Diablo, Dungeon Siege et al) - in their complexity they still surpass games that put a greater stress on graphics. How does e.g. ADOM, my favorite RL compare to this one? Well, it has a far more advanced core system but when it comes to all these "hidden surprises" and the gameplay dynamics POWDER is miles ahead of it - the source code has meanwhile surpassed the length of e.g. ADOM. 0_o

So, by all means check out the game, it's freeware and can be played on Windows (Mac OS X, Linux) as well - or play it on something portable, provided you have a flash memory adapter.

Ah - feel free to check out my new and improved channel page - now with more dinosaurs sporting rocket launchers (concept art for another cool game - Dinowaurs):

Subscribe to lengthen my e-peen and get updates on this epic (fail) video series. Some exclusive SpA-only info - I already recorded several follow-up videos and they contain a lot of dying and failing, so there's much fun to be had - who doesn't enjoy watching ME fail? :-P
