The medium where mtx,gacha,live service,survivorlikes have become normalized and accepted. The medium where scale is worshipped like nothing else. The medium where important history is lost and tech upgrades are treated as artistic upgrades. The fans of this medium is for sure going to resist genAI

Raced to get this done ASAP: an EXHAUSTIVE breakdown of the one minute of new #virtuafighter footage we were blessed with at Evo. Beautiful game even via the 1080p blurry Youtube rip. Forty seconds action, 2500 words, you know how it is with me.

you're gonna wanna make sure your game is as friendly to payment processors as possible, something like an online casino that connects 10 year olds to 45 year old roleplaying partners

Everything is a WIP, sound effects are placeholders. Working on an arena game mode for a demo, trying to get enemy behaviors right between evasive/aggressive, gonna be adding more nuance to them soon. More playable characters are coming along nicely too.

Remember when you had to share big ol' strings of text to share puzzles in the original Petal Crash? Remember how awful that was?
In Petal Crash 2, you'll be able to share your puzzles with these new, fancy puzzle cards instead!

I feel like the "smoothening" of game design over the past decade or so has changed the way many players interact with the art form for the worse.
Friction often serves a purpose.
If something feels unsatisfying, why? Does that feeling contribute to the meaning of what you're experiencing?
