LEMME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

Assuming that we are indeed discussing loss of life/potential loss of life as grounds for death by civilian, what puts Daniel Penny in a better position than Luigi Mangione? Why are conservatives cheering on DP and condemning LM?

Probs because DP killed a black dude. 🤷‍♂️

Devlog #9: STYYYYYLE
Considering this is a game inspired by the likes of Air Gear and Beyblade, it only makes sense for teams to have some pop to them, ESPECIALLY in 2002. Thanks to
@yutaone.bsky.social for the fonts!!

DEVLOG #6.6: WORLD TOURNAMENT TEAMS
These are the teams in the World Tournament. Each team has 3 players, and the winners will claw their way to face Brazil in the Grand Finals, who beat the USA team in the 2002 championships. Think you're up to the challenge?

Devlog #6.5: Inspirations
EX.Gears is meant to be the result of Beyblade and .Hack having a swordfighting baby. In universe, EX.Gears sets are sold in boxes like these, meant to be built off-screen like an old school Beyblade.
Part of me wants a building minigame, but scope.

Devlog #6: SwordType customization
Doing the design doc for EX.Gears, and decided to showcase exactly what will make weapons customization stand out in-game.

Devlog #5: Your EX.Gear!
First part of building your Gear and getting your stats into the best shape! The EX.Gear was once going to be split into the hilt/blade, but since there are SO many different kinds of EX.Gears, we wanted to standardize things a bit.

Devlog #2: EX.Gears Season
In the 2002 season of EX.Gears, we meet some strong teams that will be competing for a cash prize as well as a mysterious addition.
Styled after F1 seasons, EX.Gears seasons are made of a series of tourneys, with the goal being to outscore other teams.

Entry 1: The Time I Borrowed Some UI Stuff

Behold, the EX.Gears Customization Screen!
Figma is an amazing tool for UI, and I used it to borrow the customization screen from the PS1 Beyblade game. It's a good base, but there'll definitely be style adjustments. (1/2)

Game 10: Celeste

Don't get it twisted. I didn'tfinish this game. It's the first game I've ever refunded. Then rebought. It's a constant challenge that keeps teasing me and keeps me trying again. A valuable lesson in perseverance packaged with cute visuals, technical gameplay, and dope music.

Game 9: Megaman Battle Network

Always been a Mega Man fiend, but I love RPGs and tactical RPGs so much that this sits above the rest of the franchise for me. The art style, gameplay, and music (GOD THE MUSIC!!!) keep me coming back to this very day.

(THIS ONE'S FOR YOU @inazumasosa.bsky.social!)

Game 8: Pokemon Ruby

I KNOW IT'S TECHNICALLY CHEATING, but to go from the GBC to GBA within a couple of years and see the new artstyle??? That is a dopamine hit that I am STILL chasing.

Game 7: VA-11 HALL-A

Easily among my favorite games for its pixel art, heartwarming/wrenching narrative, and the ability to serve corgis alcohol, VA-11 HALL-A is a game that helped me bond with one of my best friends, and taught me valuable lessons about VNs and character writing. And cyberpunk.

Game 6: Enter the Gungeon

Oh this game is sick nasty. A roguelike with items and abilities that make you feel like a gungeoneering GOD, EtG is a game that I like to try challenge runs for, despite how frustrating they can be. Still haven't made a rougelike, but this game really makes me want to.

Game 5: Skies of Arcadia

The game I named EX.Gears' main character after?! YES, the very same! An RPG about sky piracy, the bonds of adventurous friendship, and a magic system that still kind of amazes me to this day, this game continues to be an old favorite to revisit every so often.
