to make a video game is to constantly be thinking about what elements you need to put into place to trick people into thinking this emotionally troubled computer program you built is a real video game

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

GG remains so freaking good a writer. If you want to read an engaging, original fantasy story about a world where the wrong god won, or if you want to see the most beautiful gentle men you've ever seen get put into a clamp while a nice woman who's never done wrong spins the handle, this is for you
soul of sovereignty chapter 3 is out now! #soulsov gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

Can't stress enough how much fun I'm having doing procgen narrative on this game and making people root for terrible things to happen to babies and immediately regretting their cheers for a drug relapse or death by crop monster.
everyone on a game is a storyteller and the storytellers on Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator fuckin’ despise the incentives of late stage capitalism
also that kid beto is pretty cool

its about why trying to act passive and non-confrontational (in situations where you’re the one hurting) can make life so much worse for you.
its about the relationship between religion and power and how it trickles down in our daily lives

GG did amazing work as usual. I'm so excited for people to play the new chapter, this story continues to enthrall me. I did a lot of the music this time around! It is so fun to help GG and Toby continue to develop the musical side of Soulsov.

for a long time my best strategy for working on the CM demo was to just put my head down and focus on the task directly in front of me instead of thinking of How Much Game there was left to make. except now the task directly in front of me is figuring out how to format the credits. which is scary

the only problem with young people today is that they never had to mentally negotiate the difference btwn a video game's box/booklet art and the sprites they would play as on the screen. i understood what Plato was talking about before i ever even heard of him thanks to DRAGON WARRIOR
