I'm a former Nintendo programmer turned indie dev, and I've always loved the multiplayer mode in Pikmin 2. But it had its flaws—like high input complexity and difficulty finding opponents.

So I built my own take: Jelly Troops an online action RTS.

In early versions of Pikmin 3, Rock Pikmin came in several various different shapes, while in the final game they are all identical. This was likely done to save on resources, and to keep them all homogeneous and give them an easily identifiable shape.

I wrote about how video games can teach you real things - patience, frustration as a kind of misdirected curiosity, organization, time management. Focus on Pikmin 4! thedeletedscenes.substack.com/p/dandori-time
