Comment on Wandersong, a game about not doing harm

Fun fact: King’s Quest I, one of the very first games in the world to use graphics, had puzzles that could be solved in multiple ways. Taking a non-violent approach was the only way to max out your score however. For example, there’s a giant you can kill with a slingshot, or you can tire him out and make him fall asleep for more points.

I wish someone would do a NoClip-esque documentary on Sierra. That studio seems amazing and Roberta Williams was a crazy good game designer.

You might already know about this, but she recently released a 3d remake of Adventure, sometimes considered the first adventure game ever. The remake is called Colossal Cave. I bring it up because the Game Grumps played some of it while Roberta talked with them on air! It’s not a documentary, but there are tons of interesting things she talks about throughout. Look it up on YouTube if you’re interested. 🙂

Look up OneShortEye on youtube. The main focus is point and click game speedrunning, but a lot of the videos are an in-depth look into the design and history of various games, like this one about Colonel’s Bequest.
