I really hope this era we've entered, where opening a game involves waiting 10 minutes for shaders to compile, is a short one. 🙄

Perhaps the gravest sin of Zelda's Wilds era is making Link boring. Next to no reaction in even the most powerful scenes. Not so much as a cocky smirk, or a wistful sigh in the presence of his loves. He looks completely dead inside.
Please, let Link smile.

I've learned my lesson about asking for audio advice on Reddit. Apparently if you, as a novice, don't realise you're slightly beyond the scope of what the subreddit is for, the mods will breakdown your door like you've been screaming racial slurs. Why did I ever think Reddit might be a good idea? 😒

Any legislation that does come into effect that imposes restrictions on game development should be done in a way that does not stifle creativity. It would be tragic if something done FOR gamers ended up robbing us of amazing games because devs are scared.

Stop Killing Games sounds great in theory, but I do have a major concern about it. Maybe it's been addressed already and I've missed it. But what happens to devs who rely on third parties to host their game? Often this is done so that they can leave the game behind and let people keep playing. 1/4

This is Medibody, a twin-stick game where you defeat enemies by breaking chunks off of them, then collecting them before they have a chance to retrieve them. Featuring classic Zelda/Metroidvania style upgrades and progression. #ScreenshotSaturday

I've been quietly working quietly on a solo game project on-and-off for a little while now and it's slowly coming together. Might consider showing it off a bit this weekend as a Screenshot Saturday thing. We still do that here, right?
