This was a dream project in so many ways. I’ll miss working on these scripts every Saturday morning! Big shout-outs to everyone on the team, especially @moriyoshijon.bsky.social and @brilingual.bsky.social who were in the trenches with us for all 260 episodes. Thanks and ❤️ to all who watched!
Still have my copy from back in the day but honestly not sure if I’ve ever finished this? Games like this were kinda hard to play when they were actually new because the GB screen back then was a dark, blurry mess. Looking fwd to giving it another whirl on Switch

New commercial from Fangamer! I wrote the spoken text, but I didn't end up seeing most of the visuals until the commercial was basically finished. Steve and Everdraed did an amazing job with them. (Also, it goes without saying, but commercials are non-canon.)

Lumines Arise out now, $35.99 on Steam (10% off launch discount) buff.ly/EVvaMXv

My quick impressions: Enjoying it overall with the Tetris Effect flavor, challenge mode levels has interesting varied mechanics (one level only drops pieces on the music beat)
