It's issue 16 of ChoiceBeat: The Visual Novel and Interactive Fiction zine!

In gaming zine terms, 16 issues makes us about 1,000 years old. Lots of wisdom here. 🧙‍♂️

A pixel art rendition of Link's House from the beginning of Ocarina of Time. The perspective is similar to a diorama or an isometric view. Link is sleeping in his bed with Navi floating next to him. Saria and her fairy are waiting at the base of the tree that Link lives in.

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

Henry the gray cat curled up on his side on the tatami mat. His little paws are tucked up against his chest and his face is upside down and looks especially round from this angle

Will do 🫡

A drawing of the pokemon Rapidash, a white unicorn with a mane of fire, standing protectively in front of its white flame-maned foal, the pokemon Ponyta.

Illustration of Rapidash and Ponyta crossbred with Zebstrika, an electric zebra pokemon. Their manes are electric blue, and their bodies are dark with white marks resembling a horse-zebra crossbreed.

An illustration of a Rapidash and Ponyta crossbred with Mudsdale, an earth-themed horse pokemon. They're brown and white like donkeys or mules, and their manes are dripping lava.

An illustration of Rapidash and Ponyta crossbred with Sawsbuck, a plant deer pokemon. They're fawn and spotted like deer, their manes are flaming flowers, and their hooves and Rapidash's horn are cloven and split like branches.

Well, look at that! Fire horses. Happy Lunar New Year, all who celebrate!

Thank you for looking at his royal floof!! 😆

Retro spotlight: Chulip In order to kiss your love, you must first kiss everyone else.

Happy Valentine's Day, I don't have a new entry today, but the last few years I have written up video games with the day's theme in mind. Like Chulip, a game about a lot of things, but mostly about kissing everyone you meet.

It feels like this game came out just a few years ago! But it's been nearly a decade...regardless, it's a high water mark for indie RPGs among those in the know

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

북극토끼 스티커 도안

A digital colored sketch of four cats squeezed into square shapes, arranged in a grid. The cats all slightly break out of their squares and have various cheeky expressions. The cats are all colored Molly with red, cream, yellow, and blue. The Clip Studio Paint logo is in the bottom corner of the artwork.

Cat squares step 2: color ❤️
