Is it any surprising it'll end this way? I don't know why I'm climbing this tbh

Day 2 - I reached my highest point so far

DId you try story mode? I'm just wondering if I'll need an entire year to finish this game

Bloody evil (I fell off the cliff just one second later)

www.fangamer.com/products/nin... Is Fangamer selling Nine Sols chunlian?!??!!!??! I need this for lunar new year wtf guys

Also, probably a good time to wish @redcandlegames.bsky.social a very happy 10th birthday! Recently played through Devotion and cried again - you guys are a ridiculously talented team www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzZY...

Some context to this:

I still hate parrying and metroidvania has never been a genre I liked, which is why I didn't think about playing Nine Sols in the first place. Anyway I was wrong and I will gladly be corrected next time

I'm sorry! The combat is extremely difficult which is honestly holding me back a little. I'm thinking about whether I want to just keep playing through the standard difficulty or just switch over to story mode

Honestly this is a game that made me feel like I can hate myself but I'll suffer through all the parrying

Look, I hate parries, but I will tolerate it for Nine Sols! This is how good it is!

If you're not willing to even keep up an *archived list* of the game developers you touted as future stars in the industry, let alone a notably *underprivileged* list of developers who were supposed to get resources *from your organization*, then you're not serious about that work. (3/5)

Yeah I only just saw it because I saw the article, bounced to the Discord, and then saw a fellow cohort tag our year!

Anyway, I deeply admire the other FC members who are out demanding accountability and answers, and I'm sorry that this program has been effectively canned

The least TGA could do is to keep the FC page up for the past classes, but even that is too difficult? Being part of the FC program didn't directly benefit me, but at least the recognition meant something, back when these sort of things matter

If you worked/work at Square Enix and have any further specifics on the layoffs today you're willing to share, please reach out. Email and Signal in my bio, can keep you anonymous.

Take this as a list of potentially overlooked games (mostly indies) that you should be looking forward as well - even if I don't get work, I may just end up doing a roundup each month, just to help get some eyeballs on these titles
