It's still really funny to me playing Dragon Quest 1 HD2D without having played DQ3 first

NPCs being Oddly Specific about the shenanigans the hero Erdrick was up to in the many years prior

Feeling nostalgic for Wii lately, but less the Wii library itself and more all the things that overlapped with it?

Using the web browser to watch Youtube, wifi games with friends, discovering tons of games through Virtual Console, modding and playing homebrew games, getting into emulation, etc.

something tells me it's not healthy waking up and immediately injecting myself with the several hours worth of social media posts and the dozen or so discord chats that we missed out on when we were asleep

Sometimes forgetting stuff is fun, like forgetting we drew a thing and being like

"huh! that's kinda neat actually!!"

Consider that maybe instead of constantly reworking the same portion of the game, you can come back to it later once you have more experience, a clearer vision of the game you want to make, and a fresh perspective removed from noodling away at the same thing for days

Really nice test of a low poly Ridge Racer running in full 3D on the GBA. From Gustavo Valiente's RR project: gvaliente.itch.io/rr-project

I feel like lately all my takes on video games are boring old lady curmudgeon takes

I feel like people sleep on the shading ink type in Aseprite.
it's really fun painting, layering multiple tones, getting fun textures as each brush stroke is layered, easily being able to adjust the values of an area

Sometimes I'll make textures with it just for fun

BUDD might be peam actually.......

I'd like to mention that to PAUSE the game in Game Maker, your options are still:
- Storing a list of every instance you want to deactivate
- Sticking an exit condition at the top of every step event
- Give every object it's own unique update method that's called from a different object's step event

It still bothers me any time I see someone act like Undertale is unique in how jank and amateurish its code is

An indie game made by someone who hadn't coded a large project of the sort before, made in an engine that at the time lacked many features that are standard (and still kinda does tbh)

I like doodling Eris when I don't feel like drawing anything else

Decided it was time to give some of the BUDD sprites a makeover, to better match how we draw them and to make them a bit more interactive ingame

(Here are some of Boxer's)

There's something uniquely satisfying to me about spriting rotation frames, creating the illusion of depth......

Random pet peeve of mine right now, when people rip the soundtracks to older CD era games, but don't include the sequenced songs that aren't played through Redbook audio

I get that they're often just incidental tracks and jingles people aren't as interested in, but they're still neat to me.........

Been hyperfixated on Metroid again, so wanted to try spriting a mockup of a Metroid game as if it were on the Sega Genesis. 4 palettes with 16 colors each (including transparency)

I think the biggest thing I miss from CSP moving to Krita is the close gaps setting the fill tool has, coloring always feels so time consuming and tedious when I'm not just making a sketchy mess

One of my favorite mechanics in games is when your character can deploy a tinier character to explore places the regular character can't

If I released a steam demo for BUDD that has less content in it than the SAGE '23 demo, would people be disappointed by that?

This is mostly because certain things are balanced differently now, some story scenes are different, and some extras are unlocked by different means in the full game

I miss the art of bosses that are just Some Guy sitting in a room that you can demolish like instantly if you know what you're doing
