I see the new game is already going well

So obviously I was like "dang, I loved that, is there anything else like it but maybe longer and harder" and then saw what people were comparing it to

Ironically, what made me take a second glance at it after not understanding its concept was Sonic Frontiers--which based a recurring minigame I super enjoyed and even a final boss encounter off the "shmup where you change polarity to match bullets" mechanic

Oh yeah, the demo already kicked my ass, but in a way where I was intrigued and wanted to try again.

Oh that one looks good actually. I also know he was pushing Birdcage, but I tried the demo and visually it doesn't work for me. I also know you played it and so I was thinking of adding Ikaruga to my collection anyway, so I might be on a shooter thing

This is genuine confusion by the way did everyone just forget about all that or

It IS gorgeous! I'm also pretty sure this'll give you kinds of epilepsy hitherto unknown to man!

I hadn't even heard of that last one until now and dear sweet lord

I'm thinking of a lot of horror and some PVP games (DBD is a shit game but a good example)

*On the same day???*

"it was just a placeholder asset!" That's the only bit of it that slipped into the final game. And then removed silently. How much else was there that we don't know about?

A single placeholder asset known to be made with the stuff is enough to break trust that it wasn't used elsewhere.
