Sam Brown! @smugporky.bsky.social · Jan 3

Starting a new thread here for the games I’ve finished in 2025!

1st is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All!

Still really good and holds up on a replay, but definitely the weakest of the original trilogy. Music doesn’t hit quite as hard as the first game and some cases dragged on a bit.

We just updated the Bubsy 4D Demo! Check out the patch notes below.

- Bubsy 3D's face is now capable of blinking. We have the technology.
- Bubsy 3D's texture no longers becomes nightmare fuel on low quality settings.
- Bubsy isn't as obsessed about how Woolie's smell anymore.
- Dropdown's in the settings don't have an existential crisis anymore.
- Removed language options until Bubsy learns how to speak anything other than English.
- Brought back framerate settings so you can ogle at Bubsy 120 times per second.
- The "Cutscene Skip" toggle no longer prevents you from entering the VR menu. No more excuses, get in the robot Bubsy!
- Added a climbable grid on both sides of the building at the end of "Heartfelt Village" so you don't regret your life choices more than usual.
- We had a talk with the camera man and he promised the camera should now glitch less when hopping around as a hairball and with certain slanted geometry. If it still does, blame him and not us.
- The camera man also told us he'll obey the laws of physics and clip into objects like the felt houses less, which is nice.
- If you're Bubsy look away: Added a new unique death when getting flattened by spiky cars.
- Told the total timer to take up less space and long leaderboard names to abide to its confines. Cheeky things.

Bubsy for the @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies theme #bobcat

Still a WIP because there is no way I'll finish it before the next theme, but I wanted to post something!

Anyone else spend a portion of their Sunday reading about Milon’s Secret Castle sequels that were only released for Japanese phones?

Yooka-Replaylee is awesome, I was a fan of the original, but the changes made here are 100% for the better and improve the experience so much in ways I didn’t realize I would appreciate

The Pikmin short is cute, but you can’t release the same short once with characters missing and again with the characters out back in and say it’s two shorts
