i like the way my game looks

“Precept Twenty-Nine: 'Develop Your Sense of Direction'. It's easy to get lost when travelling through winding, twisting caverns. Having a good sense of direction is like having a magical map inside of your head. Very useful.” - Zote the Mighty

in team cherries next game, they need to be brave and just not include the compass

no fangamer couch guy #2 they do not call them Search Action

For the next Pokemon game They should make frustration deal a cap of 150 instead of 100. Free Ludic storytelling when every competitive scene normal build runs abused animals

Toby Fox reminding me again that i need to be more shameless with ripping shit off

"code should be self documenting" seems like a purely ego driven bit of code advice. why wouldnt i want a green line at the top quickly giving me context? that just being organized

I am actually baffled by how many people ive seen say "why do we still have to waste a slot for the compass in Silksong" as if Hollowknight made it that way on accident. Like it wasnt a deliberate rejection of what every other metroidvania has been doing since Super Metroid

v3 i did earlier today (hat optional)

Used what i learned while Crushing all of my Sheeplass sprites from 18x18 to 16x16 to try and squish Basil back into the Pixel grid

Dealing with Bilewater rn

Movement in Silksong clears most games, but the gold standard for movement and level design is still Super Metroid. It has still not been matched.

Nintendo Directs are a psyop to get me to hate Yoshiaki Koizumi by association

that was a massive waste of time

just found the Green prince. the homosexual is REAL???

most metroidvanias are like 8 hours casually, you could stretch it to 12 if i really wanted 100%. base Hollowknight was already dwarfing everything in its genre in 2017. it really is remarkable what Team Cherry is doing

The Clockwork dancers is such a incredible fight

seems very short sighted to celebrate one of the most high profile political assassination in a long time, under a government that hates you and will use his death as fuel to hurt you. things are going to get a lot worse because of this. im just thankful it was a white man.

Silk song is really wonderful. but damn dude. why did they give up the charm system? its replacement feels like a worse version of what HK did. the actual broaches you find are on the whole way less impactful too. nothing as cool/impactful as shape of unn or dreamwelder or lifeblood core etc etc

I been playing that hot new indie metroidvania everyone’s talkin about

Been bringing all of Shakra's map into Krita (fake photoshop) and filling them out and marking them myself instead of getting the quill. very rewarding experience. (marked sensitive b/c Silksong map spoilers, currently midway into act 2)

you have no idea how nice it feels to navigate Pharloom and consult the map you made on your second monitor to remind yourself of the fastest route.

i adore how they are just unapologetically doing long kinda challenging runbacks. i love you team cherry

Team cherry... Jesus christ...

I know we're all passing around the same $20 bill, but Royalty Free-For-All, the game I've been working on, just went up on Kickstarter. If ya'll checked it out or even just liked/shared this post, that would mean the entire world to me. Thanks, #gamedev www.kickstarter.com/projects/aaa...

Sheep song

i changed one of the common statues to rip off the Cif statue from void stranger

Here's how the different times of day look with the Desaturated Filter on. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

People who hate boss runbacks are the weakest link

i think the Cif encounter in Dis might be one of my favorite moments in any game

This is probably the best game ive ever played

When your in the worst fucking puzzle ever contest and your opponent is D12

have a playlist called 'wasp music' that only has the Battle theme from Ocarina of Time

i have not played the off Remake, just chunks from both my brothers playing it, & to give it credit, despite my disappointment with not having Coldwoods soundtrack, its the kind of remake i respect. more of a re-release with revised mechanics & content, reminds me of Hoverbat's Zelda2 remake

Its interesting how coverage of remakes gives otherwise 'safe' jorno sites license to be as vicious as everyone else. To ign, Ocarina of time will be a masterpiece until the inevitable remake, then it will be dated and janky and ugly, only after theres something new to sell

Putting edible mushrooms you can forage in a game but designing them after common poisonous mushrooms just to kill someone

there are reasons to not Like Karl Jobst, used to be involved in hookup culture used to pal around with groypers. but he is completely 100% in the right with the Lawsuit, it was a baseless suit to silence his legitimate criticisms of of one of the worst losers on the internet.

I Am pro-war on wplace, dont care witch side, as long as you are angry.

imagine ever even saying "movies are supposed to be fun"

if price indicated quality Void stranger would be 80$

im just gonna yap about some differences between Zelda1 and Breath of the Wild for a bit. for posterity if im so confident they share basically no dna it makes since to defend that position a little. so here that is.

It actually triggers the fuck out of me when people say Botw is a 'sequel to zelda1' or 'modernized zelda1' its just obviously not true, did u play it?? they have no notable similarities besides the main cast. Its closer to a Assassins Creed successor then Zelda 1.

i think its kinda pseudointellectual to call souls-likes rhythm games. like congratulations you see through the mist and realized Sekiro about pushing buttons at specific times, do you know what else is? literally every game

void stranger

Oh! The Ai art is just a placeholder? Why dont I placehold your game in my wishlists forever

I am actually a huge graphics snob, I am not a "the graphics dont matter as much as the gameplay" person, I just judge things based on visual cohesion, art and attention to detail instead of polycounts and 4k textures, which are meaningless, clarity =/= better.

Notice how there is no "magic is the easy mode!" "Rivers of blood is the easy mode!" talk in Nightreign? Because its a well balanced game that encourages using all the best abilities

Alright, games with gimmicks are cool, but you need to be more nonchalant about it. We cant just have a platformer game with a cool gravity gimmick in world 6 anymore. we gotta call it "Super Gravibros" and plot is about princess magnet who gets taken by dr polarity
