what I'm saying is the new Metroid Prime should have a flying motorbike. Something that makes you go 'ah so that's the new thing in this one'

Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.

There's only 6 days left for the Kickstarter with less than 50% funded!
It's a big stretch, but any exposure for the game will be good in the long run 🐦

Beat Harmony of Dissonance. It fixes a lot of the problems with Circle but is also weird in its own ways. Controls a lot better, is a lot clearer, but also introduced this weird two castle system and a lot of the upgrades are unclear. The bosses are really disappointing.

Why doesn't every dev simply spend the better part of a decade on their projects?? Why don't more people simply win the lottery?? Why doesn't everyone wear shoes on their heads ???

And then they gave the character an option to transform and get a sword and shield anyway ??

- Eiji Aonuma, age 61. Producer of Echoes of Wisdom.
- Satoshi Terada. Co-Director of Echoes of Wisdom.
QUOTE:
Terada: Echoes plus a sword and shield... They just didn't work well together. There is a wide variety of echoes [in Echoes of Wisdom], so to get the most out of the gameplay, we decided to stick with echoes only.
Aonuma: If that's the case, it must be someone who doesn't fight with a sword and shield, right? Who in the series would be a good fit for these powers and bring their insight to them? Well, that would have to be Princess Zelda.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiahkpraturh5abhvv362qe3md64cs7yhgjqs5tre7nynypwwdq25y@jpeg)
