Any idea how I might try to fix this? Tried rebooting but no joy. Only affects my main character - but shows anywhere his portrait should be seen: bottom bar, combat turns, party list (see image).

Can you add a custom image?

Last year, Digital Eclipse released Atari 50, a sprawling, interactive tour through Atari’s long history. I described it as “a cross between an interactive documentary and a virtual museum exhibition,” and it really set a new bar for retro game collections. Now, the studio is tackling another project: Karateka, the game Jordan Mechner made before the iconic Prince of Persia.

Called The Making of Karateka, the new project sounds much like Atari 50, only focused on a specific game. It includes “pixel-perfect versions” of the original Karateka releases and early prototypes you can actually play, along with a host of design documents and documentary-style video features. There’s even a brand-new remastered version of the action game. “What they’ve built around my 1984 kicking-punching debut is so much more than a game remaster, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it,” Mechner wrote on his personal blog.

The studio also says that the game is just the first in a new collection it’s calling the “Gold Master Series.” Basically, the idea is to give a number of influential games the Atari 50 treatment.

“The Gold Master Series is something we’ve been planning for a long time here at Digital Eclipse – independently-produced projects that celebrate key designers, studios, and games that changed the world,” Digital Eclipse’s Chris Kohler wrote in a post announcing the series. “Our mission is to elevate these games, presenting them in their best possible light while putting them in their proper historical context, an approach we’ve dubbed the ‘interactive documentary.’”

Given how impactful Karateka was for action games, it’s a great place to start. The Making of Karateka doesn’t currently have a release date, but it’s slated to launch this year on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and the Nintendo Switch.

No idea what happened to his NFT grift that banked him over $40M. But on to the next one I guess.

I'd recommend watching the video so you can get Tim's own take on this, emotions and all.

Another story of investing and growing too much during the covid boom, but also coming to face the harsh reality of how bloated the mobile space is.

Been trying to make a post in !drg for a few hours (tested both Firefox and Chrome) and it just sits there with the create button spinning the circle animation, never making the post. I don't get any errors.

EDIT: Spotted a message in the console

Gaming Historian's content is always incredibly well made, and this one is no different. Love the amount of detail he gets into. These videos make a good compliment to all the retro tech channels that just focus on the tech.

They were asking for this. I can't only presume the pitch for this game was "Bloodborne 2 without the IP", and to be fair I can see why it landed. Fromsoft left a hole and they're looking to fill it.
