The 1-year anniversary for Magenta Horizon is coming soon (December 7th), but I have no idea how to celebrate it.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I ask myself sometimes: what's the point of revamping the bosses on the highest difficulty, when below 1% of the players actually beat that game this way? The answer would be, well... I just like the idea of having a dev title: "The only CAG dev who gives a shit about consistent boss quality."

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

#MagentaHorizon #indieDev #ActionGame Hope you like combo extenders. Not from you, of course. From the bosses.

Okay Wednesday season 2 is much much better than season 1 in every department. Maybe Tim Burton got his spirit back.

magenta horizon makes good on how hesitant a lot of games are to mix and match their enemy types in insane ways. this game has like 9 billion enemies and i would be surprised if less than like 80% of them showed up together at some point. even certain bosses will randomly get in the mix! it's fucked

Trying to be on a high horse again, I think my game has made an answer for all the "design discourses" that happened in those games, and yet barely anyone is talking about it. It's like action gamers want to have more pit-fighting instead of playing actually good games.
