The very unfortunate passing of Rebecca Heineman has also lined up with other developments and findings involving her 3DO port of Doom.
So I’m making an update video because there’s enough for a whole video. I was originally planning on just a short!

Happy Half-Life 1 Day. My favorite game of all time.
Celebrate by watching the most insane thing I ever got to make, until a year later when I got to do it again.

This rules, this is the way to name a kid. Stop all the bullshit with baby name gurus and just pick the two movies you went to last, pick two characters in those movies. Boom you’ve got a kid named Zora Galactus, you were never gonna pick a name that good Hollywood did it for you.

In this week's newsletter I wrote about losing a parent (to bad politics) and good tv shows and the billionaires who pretend they're going to leave a city if their taxes go up by an amount that will never make their lives worse.

I'll have more to say on the pod, but I've been playing Sektori for weeks now on Steam Deck and it is my ideal arcade shooter. I've been waiting for years for something that could match my love for Geometry Wars 2, and this has successfully reached that impossible standard.
It's basically perfect.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Ana is being put on a plinth and sacrificed to show that people speaking out will be removed from society. They're counting on this being what stops people from speaking out.
This is going to be every single creator in a few months too if people allow this to work. Never been more important to call.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

it's a wild story that stuck with me, and a reminder that sometimes "bad games" have amazing people working on them

Rebecca ported the adventure game Out of This World / Another World to the SNES. It plays at half the speed of the original, but she made that slow, plodding pace serve the game’s wordless mysteries.
The SNES OOTW also has an understated soundtrack. RIP to a legend.

Rebecca Heineman was so fucking cool.
Worked on SO much, but to me, it rules that she’s responsible for programming a game that’s been lodged in my brain since childhood: Bugdom!
She’ll be sorely missed.

They should really oversaturate the greens and darken the shadows a lil or something, the images are just way too drab for me to actually feel fantastical imo
Honestly can probably blame BotW / TotK for the grayness in the environmental green hues
But idk, it’s a delicate balance, shit’s real hard
