My latest video. Amsterdoom, or how one silly little first person shooter from the year 2000 links a small accounting software company to Death Stranding 2.

Amsterdoom and the story of Davilex Games

I wouldn't be surprised if it has a higher player count than D2 right now

Destiny 1 is a retro game but Destiny 2 isn't

My videos get more views than a million subscriber channel and I'm just gonna take that as a victory (for me)

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Supposably.

Alien Bob but also @jeremyoduber.com · 5h

appreciate it!

My opinion of the game would be much higher if that breakup actually stuck

Alien Bob but also @jeremyoduber.com · 7h

Also considering the game's obscurity and that goddamn laser hallway I have to assume the total amount of people that hit credits on it is somewhere in the double digits

I supposed "objectively" the "worst" was Eva Cash but it was like investigating a horrible crime scene, I had a great time just trying to comprehend how something like that came to be.

I'm completely serious when I say Chibi-Robo. My disdain for that game is not just a bit.

It taught me a valuable lesson, which is that I do not HAVE TO finish a game I started streaming if I just feel miserable playing it.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

In the past week I've learned how to setup a VPS with command line Ubuntu, how to use Docker to install complex forum software, how to configure that forum software, generate a quality privacy policy and GDPR compliant cookie banners and a bunch more shit.

And it's still CSS that's fucking with me.

Game dev friends, I am looking for any resources on making 3D outdoor levels based on real life locations because I'm trying to make a game based on real life locations and am thirsty for learning.

Specifically I'm curious about how to shrink larger areas down while retaining verisimilitude

Well you can sub via twitch and I tend to get more concurrent viewers there, but it's really about what benefits YOU, dear viewer <3

I've been wanting to make a survival life/job sim set in a particular place in a particular time on Aruba for a very, very long time. Here's me throwing another three hours at the project, live!
