I’m still wiping imaginary blood splatter off my TV!
I excited to play it next year, and (hopefully) watch the Wolverine GDC talks that follow.

Congratulations!

Dead ass serious: this factoid caused my friend (making a worm type game) to stroke his chin and go “hmmmmmmm”.

Thank you.

I remember days *before* Xbox announced the price hike, I casually noticed Xbox Series leaping to #4-5 in Amazon’s Video Game Best Sellers category… and thinking:
1) That’s weird… that’s not a Roblox Gift Card 🤣
2) Wonder if this’ll show up in Mat’s monthly report

Thanks, as always, for the insights! 🙌

Does this include any triangle culling (frustum, backface, zero-area)?

Wow interesting/startling trend.
As a kid, I saved up all my lawn mowing money to get a on-sale gameboy color, and contrast that with my nephew’s only way to get a switch 2 will be via Uncle Peter.

Hah! When I gotta lock in (mechanical coding refactor or gaming boss level), I also turn to Ken C M Young...
Those speed run levels burned the song into my neurons.

Thanks for the analysis, as always.

Love the game (300 hrs in 😅), but lack of AO and indirect lighting (baked or otherwise) really dinged the visual presentation for me.
Was hoping the PC port had some improvements in these areas.

Can only imagine your reaction revisiting the Mythril Mines...

Ah, now I'm really back in Australia. Woke up to a huntsman spider in the bedroom, wonderful.
