you published other games as part of your journey to learn game dev? Tough luck, you can never be nominated for this category… unless you start a studio with other people”

You simply can’t go from 0 to making an award nominated game. So, that leaves us with this category being unfair toward solo devs, if Devinad is allowed to withdrawn “

As a team, sure. That may be that specific team’s first commercial project. Or their first commercial project under that legal entity, which is the studio. However, I can 100% guarantee every single developer on that team got several student projects, hobby projects, and/or gamejams under their belt

I don’t think Dani Dev- I mean, “Vedinad” should’ve withdrawn. Nobody, and I mean literally nobody, who got ever nominated for that category, was nominated for their very first game ever.

1) A Raspberry Pi cannot emulate modern consoles.
2) Many people don’t have an old PC laying around.
3) “for way less” I mean, probably, but the Steam Machine doesn’t have a price less. Too early to say that.

I mean, there are many use cases for a cube shaped mini PC, powerful enough to run games. You travel a lot? You can hook it up in your hotel room. Got a large tv in your living room? Hook it up there, for gaming, or media consumption. Got an old CRT TV? Dedicated emulation machine!

The dumbest part is PS1 discs lowered the price of games and the results speak for themselves: Best selling console at the time, outsold N64 almost 3:1 with four times as much N64 software, and outsold the Genesis and SNES combined in both hardware and software.

This again? There are already a crapton of gamers that never buy games on D1. Waiting to grab an eventually bugfixed complete edition on sale for 5 bucks. And general wages haven’t been raising on pair with inflation. You raise the prize to 100 bucks. Sales numbers are gonna plummet.

Doubt it. It’s got a smartphone cpu, and it runs android, not a linux desktop distro like the Deck does.

And dedicating that time working on the movement, meant the level could not get as much polish as I would've liked. Still I had lots of fun making this. Plus I made the jetpack detachable to turn into a floating turret. Worth it! 😁😁😁

As for the level itself, I'm not really fully satisfied with it. I was very passionate about reimagining the movement. But that also meant a level inspired by the Astro Bot ones can't really take fully advantage of the expanded movement.

...where the player character still jumps, punches, does spin attacks, and flies in a jetpack much like Astro. But also has a crouch like 3D Mario. And perform different moves, based on the order in which the jump, crouch, and punch button are pressed.

Big inspiration of course was Astro Bot. I was aiming for one of those late game challenge levels. I also read Astro's movement being criticized for lacking the mechanical depth seen in other 3D platformers such as Mario. So I wanted to do a reimagining of Astro's movement...
