Oh not a big stretch there... the more history one had the funnier the references got. I think it was just when Uderzo took over that the humor became a bit baser / people doing a lot more yelling etc..

"WARM BEER!!!" (Roman slaps forehead)

And the names were so clever but that was the translation (Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge). Gluteus Maximus. *giggle*

With that last part being absolutely historically accurate!

It was released in 2019. It absolutely amazes me that while the mobile gaming market makes the most money of any platform, we hear about those games the least. Online, gaming mags, websites, nobody covers mobile.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. First, a mobile Castlevania that ain’t half bad. Very forgiving at first which is great for me, to be honest. More story than actual gameplay but music by the great Michiru Yamane is most welcome.

But what about VO? Missed a chance here. @sindravania.bsky.social

There's too much connection to things we can't control. You can control the things you listed. You can only do so much about the terrible shit. 🫂

I did work on it for awhile, but Scott Lawlor, Fryda and Andrew Dearing are the ones that did just about everything that ended up in the final build.

Super happy for you and super envious. Can't wait for MP4! I'm sure you killed it with the team. 🙌

Which is (the cushion) in itself both a means to support and hinder creativity.

Having been playing video games awhile (say, since 1981) it can take more to excite me. That can exist in the same space as modern indie game passion for any genre (or making a new one). I'll share examples.

First example of something that felt new to me is Spiritfarer by @thunderlotusgames.com

Alexander Brandon @funkyrustic.bsky.social · Sep 14

What an awesome look! I love the miniatures feel + JRPG style. Great work.
