all the hyper specific fandom forums I browsed as a teenager. starmen.net, tron sector, nights into dreams, zelda classic, etc. tightly knit communities where you knew all the regulars and everyone had at least that fandom as common ground.

teaknights! indie sin and punishment! hell yeah

the negatives reactions to this are strange. game dev at capcom's scale is inherently collaborative and attributing an entire project to a single person's vision often leads to bad outcomes. that's how you get yuji nakas and keiji inafunes. this isn't even a "move," it's just acknowledging reality.

In honor of 40 years of Famitsu, I translated an article by old-school editor Hamamura Tsuushin reflecting back on the old days of the magazine, and what led to it going weekly! A must read for anyone interested in one of Japan's biggest game publications! www.onemillionpower.com/fami-memo-me...

touhou gaiden looks incredible. definitely looking forward to this one.

blindsided by this rendition of the gradius level one theme over the credits of the psp port. good stuff.

Fuck ModRetro

it's funny how I both get what he's saying and have to completely disagree. galaxy 1/2 and odyssey are just not much like 64 at all in any way that matters to me. I'd argue sunshine is much more 64-like than them. but sunshine certainly has the wildest swing into strange territory of any 3d mario.

gravity circuit is fantastic. you should wait until the sale is over so you can give the devs your money. failing that, you should pick it up for free right now.

arcade games are like if someone invented jazz to sell gumballs

spent your life in a position of privilege with a wide domain of influence only to realize the doctrine you ascribe to is a sham after suffering repeated defeat at the hands of a machine? a mere object?? not even mortal??? ultrakill issue

this checks out. literally yesterday I gave a kinect to a mid 20s trans lesbian friend of mine. got an earful about the merits of dance central over just dance. godspeed, kinect lesbians.

it's the greatest day

built a time crisis contraption

every metroidvania should reach a point halfway through where you have all the door-unlocking power-ups and then you can just play the fucking game for the rest of it. and then they should cut out the first half

My video about the history of Chunsoft's sound novels has reached over 25,000 views! Thanks to everyone that has watched it since its release! And if you haven't seen the video yet, give it a look to learn about the franchise that popularized novel games in Japan www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BT...

playing dead to rights

I once read a hardcore gaming 101 article and then right after watched a retrospective slop video that just read straight from it, lol. it was especially funny bc the video had the default empty "such a classic, wow" reverence before the plagiarism kicked in and became much more critical.

so many modern beat em ups want to advertise "deep fighting game-like gameplay" and yet urban reign is the first one I've played that means that by way of making opponents with kits that match your own to create similar decision making instead of like, long combos and lots of special moves.

an hour into strangers of paradise. terrible discovery: after playing spikeout, you will yearn for shift in every game with a traditional lockon system.

pitch: emulator plugin that replicates console style action game checkpoints for arcade beat em ups. those games are either brain off credit feeding or hardcore 1cc runs. this would make a more approachable middle ground to take them seriously without dedicating quite so much time.

oh wow, that's cool. so. around 1990, some mega man devs left capcom to form their own studio, takeru, which made some incredible stuff but quickly dissolved, after which point a bunch of them went to mitchell corp. I never realized mitchell worked on xtreme. that's a really cool full circle moment.

still going back and forth on if pragmata has the sauce or not. landing a melee finisher on a grunt to explode the nearby crowd has been the biggest sign pointing to "yes" so far. that's that re4-esque "shooter with brawler dna" I'm looking for. just hoping this game gets properly hectic.

the antagonist I have in mind is inuart btw.

dozens of game formats tried and nothing has yet beat "a short sequence of linear action stages."

Proud to announce my next game: 💣LURRUNA - The Island of Towering Automatons 💣

i'll never stop thinking about ko takeuchi's art of the homestar runner cast

look at my boooooooooys

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

balan wonderworld is an expressive platformer where you can plainly see the intended solution to every obstacle but you can also bring any powerup to any section of the game to bust it wide open and it rules. I love games where no solution is strictly prescribed. happy balanversary.

I just built a model of the viper II! and then I painted it bc everything but the pink was a sticker and it looked really bad. I was in over my head but I had a great time.

what I've come to understand about myself is that I will learn your mechanic when it becomes necessary, not when it's introduced. give me explanations up front and they'll probably bounce off me. give me a manual to read when I'm stuck and I'll slurp it up like the fountain of knowledge it is.

I've 3D scanned this large keshi figure depicting Agent 17 from Elevator Action! This is a 1985 figure by Amada, part of their Family Computer Color Pose Doll line. Grab the model here: archive.org/details/kesh...
