I think it would be genuinely neat if someone made hacks of the Genesis Sonic games that properly balance them around score attack runs?

Fixing exploits, saving high scores, splitting these based on character, etc.

I worry that sometimes I yap so much about video games that somebody's gonna see my games and call me a hypocrite because my games have the exact same things I yap about

🐭anyways we still need a lot of help paying this year's taxes despite us making estimated payments so if itch is so afraid to depart with our money/you already own blobun, we can always just use direct support on kofi haha ko-fi.com/gfxsql

I hate when some nerd says "You just don't like [new entry in franchise] because it's not like [old entry in franchise]"

Yea? And?

When the pizza place stops selling pizza I think I get to be at least a little grumpy that it's not selling pizza anymore.

I always feel a lil giddy when friends get art of their characters and it's based on refs I drew for them

After yesterday’s doodle of @engineerkappa.net Kappa from Crystal hearts I felt the urge to draw Lan again.

Prototype N v5.0.0 is now out!
The new demo of Prototype N is finally out! Sorry it took so long. As mentioned in the last devlog, the game went under a developmental reboot as we've switched engines to Godot. Naturally, a lot of c...

There are a lot of metroidvanias that would really be better suited as a linear action platformer, imo

This is a weird pet peeve of mine, but I'm not a fan of when pixel artists "chibify" characters that aren't meant to be cute?

If we're talking itty bitty RPG sprites then whatever, but sometimes I see it applied to beat em ups or higher res cutscene art and it doesn't feel intentional

It's a lil funny to me how some games let you mix and match totally different (yet related) difficulty settings

Mushihimesama for example:
- Arcade Dipswitches
- Normal/Maniac/Ultra mode
- Port exclusive Novice/Arrange/1.5 modes
- MAX shot type in 1.5

Any time a large corporation announces some stupid new product it feels like a form of attention pollution

I appreciate how "getting stuck" in arcade games feels totally different compared to having infinite lives + saving

I think you can design a game that's enjoyable on repeat playthroughs without making it a "speedrun game"

I feel like it'd be fun making a game for an E-Ink display sometime.

Low refresh rate means action games aren't viable, but it sounds cozy playing a turn based RPG or reading a VN on one of these things.

If we keep stumbling across productivity self improvement self help guru videos, chances are we already know what we're supposed to do to get better, we just can't be bothered to Do it

I think next time I try making an action platformer, I want to try making just 2-3 enemies and seeing just how many situations I can get those few enemies to work in

I should post more things that aren't 30 minute scribbles but i haven't been drawing too many things that aren't commissions for people lately

I don't know what it is, but that anime "waoww~!" sound youtubers use causes me to retch internally every time I hear it

i feel like a problem i have playing any sort of Dark Souls adjacent game is when I spend so long chipping away at an area and finally beat its boss I just feel... satisfied

No need to keep playing, I already beat the Guy that was giving me trouble, the narrative arc is over, gg
