Hi new followers!

Here is a project I hope we can get moving again (was put on ice a year ago), and finish off sometime in 2025.
It's a Super CDrom System game for PC Engine!

Vid below shows a test level with temp artwork.

Background + sprite animation (the ship is now pre-rendered) and... tunnels ! I think I can add more gameplay elements and stay at 30fps, there is hope, the megadrive is a beast :o

A parcel tracking short horror story:

> Package has cleared customs
(Yay)

> Sourcing local courier for next leg
(Um, ok)

> Email arrives from Evri 'good news, we are expecting your parcel'
(Nooooooooooooooo)

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself?

We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

Ps2 game likers should be aware that full metal schoolgirl is out now. It's a hack and shoot where two highschool gals fight against an evil corporation producing the "working dead." brainless as heck and feels good to hit buttons.

they really must think we're stupid.

It was nice to see NUKE projection mapping to add particle snow in one of the shots, so they actually did some legit post work on this, but that was clearly on top of the AI slop.

yet that is literally fixing it in post, instead of doing it right the first time
