Garage: Bad Dream Adventure - ガラージュ (1999)

Written & Designed by Tomomi Sakuba /// Developed by Kinotrope /// Point-and-click inspired by Carl Jung and Kowloon Waller City. This period of games was absolutely electric, so many inspired artists experimented with the newly accessible digital-rendering and game developing tools and created some of the most unique games the medium has seen. Garage just oozes with a turn-of-the-century, digital surrealism that sticks with you as soon as you lay eyes on it.

Ok so I don't like talking about projects that I'm particularly attached to, but I managed to get some actually decent-looking pre-rendered graphics in RPG Maker and I'm really proud of them.

Here are some screenshots from the game's test room:

(Also the placeholder music is the theme from my YouTube channel but condensed into a very short loop)

The LaserActive 3D Fakery Illusion

“Spanning more than 10 years of gaming, the 3D Fakery Illusion created by LaserDisc is on display. Originally, it had almost all of the advantages, but as CD's and computer hardware advanced, it lost its charm. Its analog nature didnt help matters, creating limitations it could not overcome until its very last days.“
