Ps2 game likers should be aware that full metal schoolgirl is out now. It's a hack and shoot where two highschool gals fight against an evil corporation producing the "working dead." brainless as heck and feels good to hit buttons.

Oh, I'm not familiar with cult epics - I have the third window films version which is nice enough but their logo is very large and not very nice looking... Feels like they used a labeler. But I guess cult epics is region B too, eh?

As I'm sure you can imagine it is nearly impossible to photograph! The data side is silver and normal-ish (it looks extra shiny to me)

In pure 3D everything is simply closer to or further from the camera. But 3D effects don't by default know where a sprite even is unless you very carefully situate and nest it all. note this moment: the sword intersects the demon, the red swipes go in front of and behind aina, but behind destin.

I only have art from when we had to pitch it full screen based on feedback, but the idea would be you'd have all these idle activities going on simultaneously at the bottom or edges of your screen, and could pull focus on any of them if you wanted to. The currency in the game was "daughters" lol

I walked in the streets to protest ICE on Thursday, and walked in the streets to celebrate the existence of a big wheel of cheese today. Oakland is a place!

A great thing about doing this in fruitvale, a majority latinx neighborhood, was all the folks cheering from their businesses or honking their horns from their cars. It's not only about getting in ICE's face, it's also about reminding your neighbors that you support them. We support each other!
