'battle start' text, and also a slight workaround to the pop that was happening once the battle music starts

I wonder how many franchises have fallen into the trap of being unable to change/evolve/grow, either because they wrote away all of the potential ways to move forward or because they cultivated a dysfunctional fanbase that feels attacked by anything new

Sometimes game development is falling into a hole over and over, trying to pinpoint why something looks wrong for a single frame

Sketch commission made in VGen for sdmax300! It was a lovely couple, I love when you just ask me to draw your characters in a lovey dovey mood! Please keep asking me to draw characters in love! https://f.mtr.cool/csmqodejho #VGen #VGenCommission #OC

Reminding oneself of a decade-old collab project is a feeling How is it that the only things I've worked on that released have been big community projects where I made a level/some graphics, or games where I was an artist on an otherwise solo-designed thing That middle space is clearly doomed

"can you stop bringing me up whenever you talk about a game where the dev feels ill intent towards the player, i just include stuff because i think it's fun" thank you la mulana dev

Why are they doing a second dq7 remake

Saw a bit of a spoiler for hat world's setting and now I'm tempted to do the other routes just to get context on just how the gap said spoiler revealed ends up getting bridged

I wonder what the accepted:rejected ratio of gacha game designs is like Even if one is counting designs that ultimately get accepted after heavy revisions in the former category, I can't imagine it's that high

I'm thinking about this again What works as a main character versus what works as a mascot versus what works as a generic NPC/enemy versus what works as a generically cute thing meant to be purchased in a vacuum are all so different from one another, and I have no idea where the borders lie

How many indie games have pulled the 'wait in a spot for two hours on order to solve this puzzle' trick I know of two but there has to have been at least a third

this bandcamp friday I also put @hhhhhazel.bsky.social on blast for reprogramming my brain with Aboveground and Garm Arisen among many, many others hhhhhazel.bandcamp.com/album/false-...

It is bandcamp friday my dudes did you reach elte and then immediately get your dick blown off by the battle theme? I did! ap0c.bandcamp.com/album/false-... the yolk heroes ost is also fantastic!

I wouldn't necessarily call it gacha game apologetica, but there is an appeal to the way a lot of them tie serious power growth to mechanics tangential to the core game, if only so that you can try and push yourself up the slope as far as posible before then shoving xp items down your units' throats

been 11 months, but I'm back to making something resembling progress [now time to spend a day or two reorganizing some stuff]

I forgot that there's tiers of fantasy gacha game greebling

They released a gachaless puzzle and dragons Oh no, that's dangerous

It's not a proper rpg if there isn't something in it that prompts some collar-pulling

It feels a bit mean to be extremely dismissive of the default RPG Maker setup, or even ones using the more common plugins But man I don't gel with how the defaults look or feel, and that's about half of the appeal of them just gone

Finished MSR Sometimes you want to want to play through a game from your childhood but the relevant emulator can't run it well, and so its effective prototype has to do

Metropolis street racer is one of the most whole-animal-using games I've played Which makes it strange when there's an interior bit of map that's modeled and yet inaccessible; surely the filesize wasn't so strict that two intersections' worth of city had to be sectioned off to make it fit

I didn't end up with much stuff I drew but ended up not using for sleeping core but there was this guy [they'd be another splitter-type enemy]

Terrible video game idea: damage formula Made Wrong, such that if you attack into something with too much defense it heals them instead

The trouble with thoughts like 'I should make a 20-hour rpg in an old version of the OHR' is that it's not even actionable enough to put in the box of ideas To say nothing of how the distance between 'this would be funny in a high concept way' and actually doing it is cosmological

I feel I'm fairly adept at hitting the size of rpg for these contests above which a proper framework and planning that goes beyond a .txt file is needed [and even then, harpy.rpg is 4 mini rpgs stuck together] Being able to ruffle around in the big pile of stock rpgisms I've collected also helps

that certain videogame aesthetic of being m-rated while also being written and designed for children

One downside of working mostly within the confines of a program that sets you up with a gameplay system is that a lot of your ideas get filtered through that So I find it relatively easy to think up macro systems, but the moment-to-moment stuff ends up feeling a bit sparse by comparison

Who am I to refuse

Chugging Metropolis Street Racer again and realizing I'm not entirely sure what the members of a hypothetical 'best racing game turns' list would even be MSR does have its fair share of really obnoxious but ultimately necessary turns, but those exist on an entirely different list

'yuck your yum' and 'enshittification' are the two extremes of the overly interneted lingo axis and I despise both ends Please learn less noxious ways to say 'this may not be to your taste' or 'this product is no longer subsidized by venture capital money'
