Rage-bait article. Switch2 has already shown a feature that has never been on a console before (and I've never seen used on PC either, even though it's probably possible to do).

This juice just keeps getting tastier.

Dark Cloud 2 had an interesting system that I don't think I've seen replicated where items gained stats based on the types of ingredients used and virtually any item could be used as an ingredient; so crafting became more about converting 'trash' items into the stats you wanted.

There's a lot of missed opportunities with many crafting systems.

I think the only good implementations I've seen involve systems where ingredients have a wide variety of end products OR where ingredients have unique qualities that can carry over into the final product.

I save everyone of these for inspiration.

Top-tier design as usual. The more clothes you give her to more suggestive it looks lol.

Technically Okami 3, but most people want to forget about 2 lol

Bond over their love of their children?

Sounds like textbook tortious interference. Good hunting!

Thanks!

I sympathize. The primary timesink in my game is just trying to fill out the giant checklist of all the animations needed. Hiring even one extra person to help out part-time could greatly accelerate production.

Best of luck and good hunting.

I experimented with running on the ceiling. It was very disorienting so I decided to remove it.

Thanks!

I see you are also a gentleman of culture.

I'm not really making a collect-a-thon, I suppose I have some things like the power ups and spirits that could be considered collectible. I try not to get too wrapped up in theory. I just try out some things, and if they are fun I keep them.

It is something we can control, but obviously you can't make a game that is perfect for everyone.
