Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Presenting Demi and the Fractured Dream, debuted here at Tokyo Game Show in the Annapurna Showcase. A lovely game made by fantastic people and I’m so glad to be writing music for it! The voice you hear is the wonderful Sumika Inoue. More soon! Trailer here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWZH...

@stephenhilger.bsky.social thanks for the heads up that 9 sols has a story mode. Picked it up a while back on a sale and never started it fearing how hardcore it was going to be. Loading it up!

Hulk ultimate destruction has been mentioned in all combat design discussions for the past 20 years! Shoutout to Eric Holmes and the rest of radical for a great game

I miss fixed camera angles in games. Both making them and playing them.

Games in pre-alpha

The DS lite might be one of the biggest glow ups of all time resulting in arguably still one of the best portables ever

Never played any earthbound / mother game before. Picked up a hacked gba cartridge with the English fan translation off of Etsy to check out. I still prefer playing on original hardware

transition music in a metroid sitcom

Never played the non Tyson version.

@bb.wavelengths.online gba micro and wario ware twisted are a perfect combo. Also the switch lite is really good for all the back catalog switch online stuff

Mario kart DS may still be the best single player Mario kart

The new Superman movie reminds me that we used to get weird movie tie in games by a developer cutting their teeth that would have 1 or 2 good ideas buried in them. Games are always hard to make but a lot of devs are missing ways to get their reps in

68.7 billion dollars….

I miss Nintendo making weird hardware such as the GBA micro, all the versions of the 2ds, etc. What I’m really saying is I want a Switch Lite clam shell

Wow This is an insanely cynical and morally abhorrent move I feel sorry for the devs there and more sorry for the families of the folks whose gambling addictions this will nurture www.riotgames.com/en/news/espo...

@reichenstein.bsky.social obviously it didn’t take off but I still think about - what was it called? IA writer pro? Having one app where you moved (with different fonts) between note taking, writing, proofreading, editing was an interesting idea.

Branding is important!

Donkey Kong not releasing at launch has definitely allowed me to dive into Mario Kart more than I probably would’ve….but you know someone messed up somewhere by not having those dates line up

While getting a new console is always fun, it’s also a lot of work involving new cables, power cords, etc. turns out my switch 1 was still using my Xbox 360 hdmi cable?! (Think it was the longest one I had at one point)

This Mario kart world mini map?! So good!

I don’t know if I’m ready to break up with my Nintendo switch yet. I love my switch oled.

This sobering quote from Akiman about the time some of the street fighter team visited the home of the president of Incredible Technologies, the subcontracted US studio that made the Street Fighter: The Movie game

www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLb9... it’s been floating around for a couple of weeks but it’s definitely a great watch for game designers

In case you’ve never seen the pizza box that Apple has a patent for….

Publishers be like

Killing all gaming media on the eve of a big console launch and a few months before what will likely be the biggest video game of all time is smart and well thought-out business from people that definitely do not spend all day eating their own shit.

“Member only discord” is a not a good phrase.

So i guess today is the day games journalism died? Support the indie people before it’s all gone

Wind Waker has the best (saddest) fairies in a bottle out of all the Zelda games

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AkP... While the Wii U “failed” this presentation is amazing to hear Nintendo think out loud and all the various problems they both recognized and were trying to solve

More early development boards from INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY. A little reference to the early draft of Raiders with the samurai sword.

Me: That camera accessory for Switch 2 is bullshit. Who is ever going to need that. **HORI has entered the chat**

Oh I have a lot of thoughts on this, because it definitely works for exactly this but it has its own potentially-discriminatory effects too The JP-only edition is 50,000yen ($330), but if you want multiple langauges, it’s 70,000yen ($466) That’s a big jump, which will hit select people in Japan

Sad about it being LCD (I’m an OLED whore for sure) but so damn excited for everything else about the Switch 2. Don’t even care they reinvented the Kinect

So excited for tomorrow

The future where all controllers have a headphone jack is the one I want to live in

With the big Nintendo switch 2 announcement coming this week, been thinking a lot about the Switch itself. The Lite and OLED are both perfect machines in their own ways. What a hell of a run it has had when it comes to its library. Can’t wait to see what they do next

I’m guessing in the Metroid trailer - the psychic powers are to highlight mouse mode for switch 2?

Lara Croft has had some great spinoffs. Guardian of light and Lara Croft Go were both amazing

@andrewalfonso.ca you play paranormasight? Picked it up on the switch during a sale - really enjoying it so far

“The guild authorizes you to hunt” is weirdly the hottest thing in videogames these days

Feels like the right time to start playing animal crossing again
