RUBATO In addition to the quoted tweet, the main characters sleep halfway through the story due to it being late and them being tired. 9/10. Good rest is important.

lizard... 2!

I'll mirror it here so you don't have to go to X The Everything App to see it. God that's so perfect, a glimpse into the Good Future. ;_;

Whoa!

I really do miss working on cool, highly active fangames. It's really hard to keep stuff like Sonic Core going now that we're older and navigating life. It's great to see that spirit still going strong in other projects. It just also happens to make me hyper-yearn for when I was in that position.

New on the Ponett Gazette: Here it is! My deep dive into the arc of IDW Sonic's controversial Lanolin the Sheep, the fandom's response to her, and my concern that the algorithm-driven fandom pressure cooker on Twitter has begun to influence the comics. ponett.dog/blog/lanolin...

Bunnie redesign #art #sonic #sonicart #украрт

Mario doing a galaxy pose, and Rubato!!!!! #art #sketch #mario #rubato

pulling out these amazing models just feels bittersweet knowing they probably laid off whoever made them

i gotta get better with posting my stuff here agh. here is a #rubato for discord pfp purposes

Hi, all! I did a lot and I mean A LOT on the game!! But it's important to make clear what I >>DIDN'T<< do!! So I don't get accidentally praised for the work of others!

- Around 60-70% of the in-game art. Whilst I did a lot of the experimental/3D segments and big parts of the environments, most of the credit goes to Ian, Michael, Shima and Dee, with Landy contributing some 3D renders and Ruby spotting in for designs.

Ian is effectively responsible for the final look of the characters and the game (plus most of the portraits), Michael did a lot of the objects and 3D models, Shima pretty much laid the foundation for a lot of the games style, came up with the name "RUBATO" and did the tiles for the first 2 areas.

Dee helped out in various places, mostly making Rubato's 360 spin around and Area 4's grasss tiles. Landy did a lot of 3D stuff (like... the toilet) and Ruby thumbnailed the intro and designed Mikey and Bernie. Everyone contributed lots of small things altogether past this too

Lots of other things were group efforts like that one 3D scene in Area 3 and important like the final character sprite for Rubato himself. I did a lot but I did not do this alone!

- Additionally, Headcannon helped port the game, QA (I genuinely think Stealth has done 30+ full 100% playthroughs...) and is responsible for putting it on console store pages (aka publishing). They were a big help in getting the game more optimised

I also shoved the game on a lot of people and just to let them play. A lot of early feedback was really instrumental to the final design of the game, so thank you everyone!

I didn't really credit what I do in-game because it'd be really annoying and long if I did that, but just to make things clear I did: - Sole programmer - Soundtrack + a lot of the games sound design - 98-99% of the writing (ignoring little things my friends wanted me to shove in)

- QA (well... you do have to test your own game, right?) - Oversaw the art design process and concept art (Ok but, telling people what to do really isn't an achievement though lol - that's why I got help for the final result you see in the game!) - Business + PR + socials. I am @rubato.world

- I did a lot of the art for the latter 50% or the game as well some smaller sprites! But a lot of my stuff is polished up by Ian, Michael and Shima. That *one* section of the game (if you finished it, you know) was mostly slapped together by me though!

This list is going to get very boring if I continue. TLDR I did not port the game to console, I did not do 60-70% of the artwork for the game! and lots of my friends played the game as it got made. The end

Ialso ate a hamburger. It was very delicious but it had a fly in it and i accidentally bit into it

"Doom Resurrection" has just been updated to version 3.5 Introducing several tweaks in improvements to an already helluva impressive version of #Doom At this point, this might just be THE best way to enjoy Doom on a #retro system romhack.ing/database/con... #retrogaming #32X #romhacking #romhack

@possqueen.dev Felt like making some tricky fanart. heres your awesome dude! #trickyandthedreamcaster #fanart

RUBATO is out tomorrow. I have a lot of people to thank

Thank you Ian, Shima, Dee, Michael, Landy and Ruby for all the art and other things you've all contributed towards the game and for making it what it is today (seriously it'd be way lamer without any of you...)

I am on the very last of my energy writing this and I think I'm going to be very fatigued for a long time going forward, so I'm really sorry I can't get super sappy and thank you all individually... but thank you for everything you've all done!

You should all be proud of yourselves, I really mean it! For me atleast, it's really easy to tell who made what and it's really beautiful seeing that all shine through. Here's to making more things til the day we die - I wish you all luck wherever you all go next 🥂

THATS RIGHT, YOU'RE ALL FIRED GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Stealth for taking a risk and seeing something in this game, even back when it was a crappy, stitched together prototype. And thank you to everyone else over at Headcannon who supported the game through and through and helped tackle the mammoth that is porting and QA!

Thank you to my friends and family for making sure this all was seen through. It took a while for me to understand that the game might actually be better than "alright" and I don't think I would've realised that without any of you
