I still have the flower hairclip you gave me last year!
Very excited to see what you'll come up with this year :3

Turns out that the Narnia 3 mobile game was never actually lost media, I just didn't look for it very hard. But now I found it and it's plays like a worse version of LWW DS/GBA.
Now the next thing to look for is the cancelled console version :3
A screenshot of a mobile game. the game world is an isometric/2d medieval fantasy style town with a man wearing a purple shirt standing in the middle. The game has a very large touchscreen movement controls overlayed on the left side and 2 attack buttons on the right. There is also a character portrait in the top left accompanied by red and blue bars to the character's health/magic points Screenshot from wikipedia, transcription: Cancelled console game Back in early 2009, Destructoid reported that video game developer Nihilistic Software was working on the video game for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This was substantiated by an online resume for Nestor Angeles on the Animator Database. It was then assumed that the game would be completed in coincidence with the film's release in December 2010. Less than a year thereafter it has been revealed that the video game adaptation of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader produced by Nihilistic Software was cancelled when Walt Disney Pictures (and therefore Disney Interactive) left the Narnia project in late 2008/early 2009.

Ok this was worth it.
Look, it's me!* In the game! Antlers and deer legs and everything!

(*Kind of, Skyrims character creator is horrendous to use)

Despite all the projects I've claimed to be working on recently, the thing I've actually been doing is making a save editor for Narnia DS, and today I made my first big discovery: the "Tumnus flashback" which makes no sense within the timeline, is actually just a dream according to the area name

Finally! I have all 4, and now I wield ultimate power!
the spines of 4 different copies of the Narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe DS game, 1 with a green triangle meaning it is the European version, one with a yellow triangle meaning it is the Northern European version, one with the US version's box art (it's actually the Canadian release, though you can't tell the difference from this image), and one with Japanese text reading "ナル二ア 国物語 / 第 1 章: ライオンと魔女". Incidentally, the game boxes are being held up between the thighs of a person wearing black tights

Found some old backups of my Minecraft server and decided to look around them, so here's a then-and-now comparison of some of my builds
A screenshot from the game minecraft, the player is standing in a desert, looking down a minecart track, in the distance there is the outlines of a couple of tudor style timber framed buildings covered in a lot of dirt scaffolding A screenshot from the game Minecraft, the player is looking from the same perspective as the first image, in a desert, looking down 2 parallel Minecart tracks, there is a town in the distance with buildings of various build styles, mostly timber framed, some with walls of brick or clay, some entirely wooden. The buildings from the first image have been completely mostly hidden by the new additions, and stone walkways go back and forth through the town's skyline A screenshot of the game Minecraft, the player is standing on a tree, looking down at a wooden farmhouse, which is surrounded by small plots of wheat in a field at the edge of a forest, behind the farm there are 2 hills, on the left hill is a statue of a deer, on the right hill, there is a statue of a howling wolf and a flagpole holding transgender and lesbian pride flags, to the right of all that, there is a small structure made of fences and logs, and a wooden bridge stretching into the distance A screenshot of the game Minecraft, the same environment as the previous image, however everything is now covered in snow. The player is standing on a tree, looking down at a wooden farmhouse, which is surrounded by small plots of wheat in a field at the edge of a forest, the farmhouse now has a small garden with a pond that has frozen over, behind the farm there are 2 hills, on the left hill is a statue of a deer, on the right hill, there is a statue of a howling wolf and a flagpole holding transgender and lesbian pride flags, and a statue of technoblade, to the right of all that, the small structure from the previous image is now a train station platform, with a large white building attached.

I do agree with you being spring.
I think mine is unfortunately pretty accurate too (except the first box).

It's barely been a week and the phantom x is already in my top 10 most played games on steam
A screenshot of a steam games library sorted by playtime, the games shown in order are: Earth Defense Force 6, 96.1 hours Skyrim, 85.2 hours Fallout New Vegas, 80.7 hours Celeste, 79.4 hours Persona 5 Scramble, 75.5 hours Stardew valley but it has been badly crossed out in red because it doesn't deserve to be this high on my list, 72.7 hours Elden Ring, 57 hours Earth Defense Force 4.1, 50.2 hours Earth Defense Force 5, 44.6 hours Kingdom 2 Crowns, 35.1 hours Persona 5 The Phantom X, 25.6 hours Undertale, 25.4 hours

A year ago I played Celeste for the first time, beat the main game but ended up rage quitting in the reflection B-side, today I finally returned and conquered it. Now that I'm finished with the level I can see why I quit. This single area caused me more deaths than my entire first playthrough
A screenshot of the stats screen from Celeste, which I took a year ago after my first playthrough, showing the first 7 levels beaten but with a very low % of completion, 1574 deaths, and a total playtime of 8 hours 23 minutes Another screenshot of the Celeste stats screen, which I took today, now showing the first 6 levels have 100% completion, and I want to specifically draw your attention to the deaths column for level 6: Reflection, which has 1585 deaths on it's B-side. Also the total playtime is now 50 hours 25 minutes

Had to turn off some of my culling to get this shot, so here's that causing a phantom building to appear that should be hidden behind the things surrounding it.

There we go, something to look up at. Made a really stupid system for varying the height of walls.
So much for doing that design document lol
#gamedev
A computer render in a pixelated style of looking up at a skyline at night time, the skyline is made up of perfectly vertical piles of bricks of varying heights from 3 metres tall to some so tall that their tops are hidden in the darkness

Good evening chat, I'm at an airport and extremely tired but I made a function to look up. Why? not sure yet.
Guess I gotta make some tall things for players to look up at
#Gamedev
A computer render with a pixelated art style, in first person perspective, of a person surrounded by brick walls, looking upwards at about a 45 degree angle, the daylight sky visible above them

Ok so I also am experimenting with daylight lighting, which of course comes with it's own minor limitation of not being usable indoors because you can see the skybox beyond the render distance. Which is actually an issue with a lot of games so maybe I shouldn't worry too much

Ok so I found the demon, it was buried under my bed, genuinely, buried amongst a pile of bones

Tidied up and upgraded my setup a little, now we got all the consoles integrated
A picture of a desk covered in various pieces of computer hardware and peripherals. From left to right, there is a microphone, a laptop on a raised stand with a playstation one underneath it, attached to the top of the laptop is a webcam with a Wii sensor bar stuck to it, a gaming mouse, a Switch and it's dock, a stream deck, a standalone monitor with a keyboard and mouse in front of it, and hidden behind it is an Xbox 360 and a Wii stacked vertically. There is a mess of cables running across the desk in all of the empty space

Or I could skip all that nerd shit and replace my wall model with trees, then have to do some even nerdier shit because the graphics library I'm using doesn't handle transparent textures properly.
Also what do we think of 4:3 mode?
#Gamedev
A low poly render of a forest at night, a grid of tall, purple-ish trees stretches into the dark distance and their dense canopy obscures the sky. However the leaf textures aren't rendered properly so there are a lot of sharp black and white outlines around the branches The same scene as the first image, but it has been squashed from a 16:9 aspect ratio into a 4:3 aspect ratio

Another slow development day because I had regular work, I just tweaked the shaders a little, replaced my (still temporary) wall texture with one that tiles properly, and removed the c++ console
If anyone wants to try this out, I might drop the executable in my discord discord.gg/6b8Ztwc

I have continued cooking, now the movement is much smoother, there's strafing, and bouncing when you try walking into a wall
