The RPG Maker series is a great introduction to game development, providing you with all the tools, coding (or “events”), and assets needed to make your own full-fledged game. In his five-star review of the latest title, RPG Maker WITH for Nintendo Switch, DDNet editor-in-chief Matt praises its ease of use and ability to share assets (plus entire games). But…
I don’t remember a ton about Children of the Corn, but I do remember two things. One, it scared the living daylights out of me (I was way too young). Two, children with glowy eyes will forever relate back to it. Honestly though, thr glowing eyes seem to be where…
Read MoreMost of the bigger titles of 2022 have already launched, so it’s easy to find myself looking ahead to 2023. One game I’m excited for luckily launches relatively early in the year – Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is due out in February! Today,…
Read MoreMy favourite film of all time is The Crow. I have seen the film so many times that I can recite it from heart. “It can’t rain all the time…. I thought I’d use your front door… And I say I’m dead, and I move.” It’s a classic. One of…

Coal production is practically at an all-time high, and the only thing looking hot is the global average temperature, which are rapidly approaching catastrophic levels. So it shouldn’t be surprising that the consequences of humanity’s impact on the world is a…
Read MorePolish off those game of the year trophies, because God of War: Ragnarök is almost certainly going to win a bunch of them. Whether it deserves them, though, is another matter entirely.
