i don't intend to really advertise it or anything since it's mainly a thing for people who ask independently for it but i feel i should mention it: i have a discord server i post pretty constant updates/concept art/ideas/etc. for my game into so if that interests any oomfs just ask for an invite

like even if its not true and leaked internal documents were making shit up for some reason the reaction from people who DO think its true being 'well i hate the switch games so we should put him back anyways. at least that got us good games' or hoping its fake so they CAN say that is. insane to me

normally i don't talk about this kinda thing here but seeing pokemon fans hear 'the old pokemon director got banned from directing because he made working on games a nightmare' and react with 'he made the good games though? are they idiots for getting rid of him?' is genuinely pissing me off

quite interesting that the original post asked for your most unhinged opinion, and yet, you propose we add more hinges to the book... i've got my eyes on you. and your right side.

i hate that it's so hard to post good looking pictures of my game because of its low-res post-processing + how colorful it's supposed to look but every screenshot of it gets compressed to hell on like every single site

a lot harder than it sounds, then once you start realizing how hard it sounds, like exactly 2.5 times harder than that

when we do the trails thing we should all edit our anime characters to look like FC characters while john is just stuck being a real person so it's like he got teleported into it

i probably have a skewed viewpoint because i outright refuse to ever touch any of them (and knowing how these companies work it's probably extremely obvious to people who do) but dating apps just seem like they're designed solely to instill the worst kind of social media desperation and insecurity

on it boss. i dont know who that is yet, i havent gotten that far, but on it boss

TanookiPrick @sirpsycactus.bsky.social · 6d

it can often end up a box-with-cheese trap - you're technically connecting the story with the game to show off a guy being cool or some badass thing happening but when someone sits back and asks if it's mainly expediting typically lengthy processes it's super hard to *not* notice when it is

TanookiPrick @sirpsycactus.bsky.social · 6d

i think a reason it tends to pop up a lot in some games is because it offers an easy way to narratively establish substantial beats without making the player question the pacing in the moment - like its easy to go 'if this guy bails out the party then he's justified his presence narratively in full'

TanookiPrick @sirpsycactus.bsky.social · 7d

like XC1 makes it that every boss that doesnt end with you specifically killing them in the cutscene after it ends at health thresholds that vary based on 'how badly do you not win in the cutscene', it solves the narrative issue but also makes 80% of bosses a dice roll on 'should i engage with this'

TanookiPrick @sirpsycactus.bsky.social · 7d

i will say 'win the fight lose the cutscene' is kinda annoying but considering how some games try to solve the issue i'm kinda happy a lot of games don't really bother on mechanically justifying that kind of story beat because MAN it can get bad sometimes

holy image compression

these propellors i rigged up so it could do goofy magic casting animations were genius they're so good at helping communicate a sense of body language during attacks where the wings themselves can't articulate maybe i'm cracked at this enemy design thing

the feeling of having someone upload your art to another site is a really weirdly enthralling one sometimes i'll look myself up just to be like 'wonder if anyone's ever said anything about me online or something' and it's like oh damn someone liked my art enough to share it somewhere else that rocks

john gamefreak thought blood type was real funny until someone asked 'how does it interact with ghost' and he had to argue with himself for an entire hour about it

TanookiPrick @sirpsycactus.bsky.social · 7d

i hate the blood type part so much because i'm working on a game where i have to include it in a type system and every correlation i've come up with for it has sounds so stupid. 'blood resists water because the saying blood is thicker than water' c'mon man.

DQXI feels like its going for a "you don't really need a super in-depth story as long as you have a fun style and funny characters!" style of RPG but like. aggressively so to the point where it will bash its own knees with a baseball bat whenever they start doing anything reaching any level of story
