crazy that two decades of indie devs decided they'd rather make symphony riffs than castlevania 1 riffs... it's like being served a steak dinner and going "no thanks, I found this hot dog on the ground outside"

mr sweetness, we meet again...
mappy kids is a really excellent retro co-op title btw. split screen platforming, 20 minute playthroughs plus alternate routes with different stages for replays, competitive scoring component. extremely solid.

I started this year by bouncing off ninja gaiden 2, spent a long time journeying through different action games, and have now returned. I think the distance from black helps, but also, I have such a hard time keeping enemies in view. come back dmc fixed camera, I didn't mean what I said.

youtu.be/phiWRZ_VCCA fun video about an arcade genre that doesn't seem quite as well-remembered as, like, shmups. i had a little difficulty picking out the voice over from the background music but it's definitely worth it. you gotta share videos like these so they don't fly under the radar!

friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.

I often think about how katamari damacy was a quick $20 shot of a beautiful experience and everyone loved it. but instead of getting the message and providing more experimental experiences at that scale, they just made bigger versions of it that cost more money.

my beat em up fixation folded back in on an old dos game import fixation from a few years ago. korea has all the cool ones. thinking about Eojjeonji Joheun Il-i Saenggil Geot Gateun Jeonyeok again. I found pictures of the physical release, lookit. no leads on how I might get a copy though.

the point of a game is not to beat it, it is to play it. difficulty is only "a problem" if it is "in the way" of beating the game, which is an issue in the mindset of the player, not in the structure of the game. redoing parts of a fun game is not a punishment, it's an invitation to hang out

was watching @onemillionpower.com's brilliant scrolling down the belt series and raised an eyebrow at the mention of a custom rigged alchemy button for final fight. did some digging, and sure enough! this is so cool. I'd love to try this.
