The times I've seen a game in a "dead" or "old" genre hit with modern audiences, it's rarely because the game was hybridized with new genres; more often it's because of *social* circumstances surrounding the game, which is rarely in the developer's own control.

People who have heard about these kinds of games want to see them for what they are; trying to sand off pieces to appeal to "modern audiences" can actually alienate new players who wanted to try the games as-is, while not actually bringing in people who are otherwise turned off by them.

Some modern STGs are conscious of possibly being anyone's first arcade scrolling shooter, and bend themselves into knots trying to be an entire genre tutorial before being their own identifiable game.
As ever, make the games/music/videos/writing you'd want to enjoy, and others will enjoy it too.

liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

I'm not saying I'm a non-human (yes I am), but y'all humans keep doing things that make me say "I don't think I'm made the same as you lot, no matter how much I might resemble one of you from a distance"

for the longest time I thought I was just asexual, not aromantic too, but I recently realized I react to human dating/hookup culture like I'm being danced at by a bird of paradise.
Like, it's impressive and I'm sure it works really well on your species, but to me it's just strange and a bit silly.

this game is kinda like if you made a game about scouts and every 30 minutes on of the scouts fell down a hole and then another scout pulls out a rope ladder from his pack and turns to the camera and says, with portent, “be prepared”

Doing an Animorphs re-read book club with @gyro.bsky.social because Tobias rewired my brain as a kid, but I was not prepared for just how *immediately* that kid was cooked. This is in book one, and he’s been a hawk like 2-3 times tops by this point. He’ll be one permanently by the end of the book.
