Recently I released #Barbarians for #msdos, a simple strategy game about repelling a barbarian invasion in ancient times. This release was for the #DOSember Game Jam, a 3-month game jam for MS-DOS preceding the month-long DOSember streaming event for 2025. The rules stated that picking up "abandoned projects" was allowed, and Barbarians for MS-DOS was a project I'd put aside at the end of 2024; the jam was the perfect time to pick it up again. https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #gamedev

I have spent a week writing a massive article about Windows 2. It has sexy screenshots and is full of incredible trivia. Why not spend the New Year's Eve reading it? ;)
Regarding the article above...
* 96 illustrations, from screenshots of Windows 2 you never have seen, to rare historic images of vintage systems,
* A recap of early graphical interfaces for personal computers,
* In-depth investigation of the reasons why Windows 2 should have been the final Windows version,
* An explanation of differences between Windows/286 2.1, Windows/386 2.1 and Windows Standard Mode, and the major reasons for their respective design,
* Links to some awesome memoirs of people directly involved with Windows 2 development,
* About 10,000 words (~30 to 60 minutes of reading)
p.s. last minute #dosember entry
