After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!
I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

i think at this point "3d platformers are a dead genre" just means "i don't pay attention to indie games"

While it's in Early Access as we speak, Eternity Egg intends to go out of it within the next few months or so. I haven't gotten a chance to play it for myself, but it definitely deserves a mention for how unique it is.

Chaotic adventure-platformer with bouncy movement, grotesque characters & high-energy trance music.

I fortunately haven't seen any "3D platformers are dying / dead" claims lately, but just in case that claim's still lingering, here's a list of *some* of the 3D platformers that are (as far as I'm aware) currently slated to release in 2026.
Or already have, in the case of Big Hops.

So my dad and I rewatched the movie "Robots" for the first time in ages tonight; it was overall very okay.
But it also reminded me of how so many movies feel the need to really shoehorn in a romance for their main character, no matter how forced.
And it felt *really* forced in this movie's case.

Jak X sometimes freezes during saving, corrupting your save file
Dr Muto and Space Station Silicon Valley both shipped with collectibles you can't collect
Super Mario Sunshine
NFS Underground 2 has a bug that prevents 100% completion
but old games were perfect, of course!

"games used to release without any game breaking glitches" is such a lie because like every nintendo game had japanese version exclusive glitches all the time
also super paper mario could just randomly crash for no reason, no one ever talks about that.

So I did the Nintendo Year In Review thing.
To little surprise, I sunk a lot of time into kart racers. XD

It's impossible to 100% Space Station Silicon Valley because as shipped one of the collectibles doesn't have collision detection.
