Incredible recommendation on my feed

Ghosts ‘n Goblins is the most “never give up” game ever man. Had a run, was going beautifully, only died once UNTIL Stage 5-2. I just fucking eat shit to my last life, then just locked in and no missed to the final boss and got it.

I remember being 14 and getting to the end of Sonic Rush for the first time and I was like, “Are… are they gonna… are they gonna kiss? 👁️👄👁️”

you tell someone that you feel like something you like is losing its identity to appeal to a broader audience and they start talking to you like a shareholder

Hearing a rot lizard for the first time

I deeply hate this Whig History-style mentality. Not only is it untrue if you look into how notable older games were developed, not only does it undervalue the importance of experiential knowledge & over values theoretical knowledge but it obfuscates how clueless so many designers are RIGHT NOW

My most Megaman tileset yet I think

I’ll say

me and the muchi pork stage 4 boss

In the middle of an art revamp, gotta put together a demo some time soon Somehow I STILL haven't figured out a title

When I say “Wolf of the Battlefield” instead of “Commando”

Pariah is the best scrimblo tuber by a country mile

How this game tore my little asshole and why it’s YOUR PROBLEM

Going back to DMC1

I don't think they ever have, in fact I think that has been the critical problem arcade devs have faced historically. They tried almost everything else - length, checkpoint modes, metaprog, story, easy difficulties, content, you name it. But the devs never actually tried to be fully honest

I often see talk among game designers, especially arcade/niche game designers about tricking normies into liking something or other. I think it's prob better to do the exact opposite and be as clear, blunt & honest as possible through your game's design itself

Was struggling in America so went back to India to see how well I would die. Only died once, so much better than my last time in that stage.

Went back and recorded a succesful run for one of my favorite games, Torneko’s Great Adventure. Kind of amazing they got so much right even on the first entry. Makes it all the more impressive that Mystery Dungeon 2 is even better and harder. youtu.be/VeQSwCxyy2c?...

Arcade discourse on twitter

Alright man

I don't think people looking in from the outside realize quite how huge the gap between arcade player scenes & retro game collector scenes often is

Full run here youtu.be/QDQ4ZbVHgoY?...

Died right before the final boss in a 2-all run. I at least broke the 5 million point barrier and got to 6th in the leaderboards. I even no-missed the first loop.

Are you serious man

Psst hey.. Wanna play Poinpy on your phone? Come here... (closed beta test!) forms.gle/nbgekuqApQ6w...

Actually finished with an extra life and full health this time.

WHY ARE THE ARREMERS SO CHEEKED UP HERE? LMFAOOOOOO

Get the demo 😃

The demo of Hyper Bun Buster: Rocket Hammer Action is out now in Steam Next Fest! It's top-down arcade bump action game where you play as a bunny girl who uses her huge hammer to hit enemies into other enemies! store.steampowered.com/app/3605570/...

indie dev who heroically does not play or study games so as to maintain their pure creativity: "once you complete the procedurally generated level you pick between one of three upgrades"

Nishitani remains one of the handful of beat em up devs who actually played the games. I'd say it's useful to use him & Final Fight as an example but modern bmup devs don't even see why Final Fight was & still is good 🥀

Got my first win in Mr. Driller. Haven’t been as immediately absorbed into a game like this in awhile.

The new Metal Slug thing is suicide fuel but this part is the funniest shit ever. It's a (prob AI generaetd) slogan tailor made to those people who think "depth" is when random rpg cruft. Replaces a substantive claim about difficulty with a completely meaningless buzzword

Woke up to see a Metal Slug survivor-like

Hyper Bun Buster feels like a modern, refined iteration of some fairly prolific arcade genre from the 80s or 90s. Except that genre doesn’t exist, which makes it all the more shocking that it’s as polished and realized as it is.

fine, if he doesn't want it i'll use it myself. go play the bun buster demo store.steampowered.com/app/3605570/...

Man this part went so clean. Shame how the run ended!

I'm about to crash out about shmup devs adding locked difficulties to their games Arcade devs 2000s onwards have a talent for only borrowing the worst parts of console games

I had Muramasa on the Wii in middle school and I was jackin off to that big titty fox bitch all the time

Not bad for my first time on Expert.

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Went back to try Hardest dips on the Saturn version of Hyper Duel. The difference was slight in the arcade version but much more noticeable here. While I didn't no miss the game, I surprisingly did the infamous last boss completely unscathed.

Got a 1cc in Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (Daimakaimura) on my 2nd try after not playing it since my last uploaded run of it. Funnily, all my deaths were in the first loop from being rusty, then no missed the second loop. Lol

I don’t even have the words. No reveal ever will be as funny as seeing cg Tupac emerge from the shadows.
