Since it's been a while since I was last active, I'm a bit lost regarding the game engines.

I recall that before my break, Charles released SuperLemminiToo with its first updates. However, as WillLem told me, a new engine, RetroLemmini, has been released. What's the difference? Has SuperLemminiToo been abandoned?

Also, I'm still using an old burner laptop that my father lent me, which can only do the bare minimum (but I can still do pixel art), so I'm not going to start creating levels for now...

Woah... it's been a long time since I've visited the Forum...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a Power Bomberman multiplayer game. If enough people are in, we might try to schedule one!
For those who don't know, Power Bomberman is a fan-made Bomberman game for PC, with one of its main feature being online play (up to 8 players). It's hyper, nervous and ultra fun! And it's always funny to see someone get blown up by their own bombs, like me!

We all got moments where we got scared, creeped out or uncomfortable while playing a video game. Not just horror games (I mean, that's their job ) but also any games. Even the most family friendly ones can hold a few surprises, maybe that wasn't even their intention or maybe they started normally and suddenly got spooky without warning. Well this it what this thread is for, to share those scary moments!

I'm starting with one of the earliest I can remember. I'm gonna talk about Forestia. Now, I'm not the only one to have been a victim of this game, in fact, if you were an European kid that grew up in the 90s/2000s who played a lot of edutainment PC games (like me), you certainly know what I'm talking about. So, what is Forestia?
Forestia is a French Myst-like (first person point n' click) where you walk around in a magic forest with talking animals and trees and other fantastic creatures. You play games and solve mysteries and can collect plants and take pictures of animals to learn about them. There is also a day/night cycle. In short, it just seems like a perfectly harmless little game but, as you might have suspected by now, there is something dark behind all that. This game is cursed and I'm not only speaking about the 3D that has badly aged a bit. Some of the missions you are assigned to have a creepy atmosphere, like the mermaid one or the sneaking in the anthill one. But if you want to discover all of that by yourself, go play it, it's abandonware (but you'll need an old OS or a virtual machine for it to work correctly). Now, there's a particular moment that those of you who already played know full well what I'm referring to :

So everything start up fine, you going to sleep with your friend Sam at the top of the watch tower. And then... when you wake up, you're all alone, lost, everything is covered in thick red mist and there's a constant ominous choir. Most animals you come across are dead... I know this sounds like a creepypasta but, it's real. To make things worse, there are jumpscares and creepy warping textures if you take a good look at some spots. This is why I often tell people to play this game, just to see them go "What the hell? This is a kids game?!".   Oh and, there is also a bad ending to this level where you accidentally doom the forest and you die by taking a huge blazing rock in the face.

The impact this moment had on 5 years old me was strong enough for me to not touch Forestia again (and Myst too, because I though they were the same game ) for quite some time. But, I still love this game very much and it's one of my favourite from my childhood despite that. Daddyoak and Little Birch are very nice and probably the reason why I like trees that much. Not only that but it is a tradition to play it every evening of the summer solstice, because "Ce soiiir c'est la fête! La fête de la musique!".

Here's the two lemmings holding the warning panel from the box art. It can be used for some situations, like a censor bar or like a reaction image for example. I also made a template version, so you can be creative and put whatever you want in it. French translated version also included now.
No credit needed. You're free to use it as you wish.

Here's what I did while I was bored :


_{Yes, I know the lemming on the right has half of its head cut off. Can't do anything about that, sorry.}
