Wahoo every1! As a wee sprout I played both Klonoa 1 and 2 🏃🏃🏃
I got the Remasters for the Switch for a cheap price so I will try and spend some free time looking into them again, joy! I find them facinating as cute platformers that narratively explore circumnstances of life, dreams and emotions! 🌟✨

Hurray it's Transparency day! 1 of my fav YT-channels that nvr fails to inspire and analyse games and media via fresh ("cultural artifactal") lenses! Please have a look at their work and be astonished by their big brains! 🌈✨ @transparency.bsky.social

Two interactable blocks once the player acquires the Force Extension Glove! One gets pushed in horizontal directions and the other is deleted from 3D-land! Please be excited for extreme FPS Sokoban-moments! 👹👹👹

Todays tip is the epic sci-fi poem Aniara by the late Harry Martinson! All songs are not equally good imo, but the majority, overarching themes and plots are phenomenal, forebooding and very contemporary even though it was written in the 1950's. Its language is also mucho grande inspiring! 🔥✨

I watched Shin Ultraman some weeks ago and I must concur with @devilsblush.bsky.social statement! The movie had exceptional sound design and I vibed immensely with Ultramans motives. A great film about the power of hope and love! ❤️💕

This is really not in regards to the collab between Helldivers 2 and Killzone 2. I simply just want to highlight Killzone 2's extreme dedication to gamefeel. It was prevalent in the PS2 original but way deeper in the sequel for the PS3. Totally neglecting the paperweight movements of the COD-games.

Here is a clip showing some feedback/effects and whatnot that is featured in RADIANT ELUSION. Will prob post another video in the future showing off more. If you have ideas for more effects fitting the game it b cool to hear, I love when stuff happens from player input etc. Make games unique! ✨

Masahiro Sakurai's video games and his Youtube Channel 'Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games' are big inspirations for RADIANT ELUSION. Especially in regards to game feel and giving feedback to the players actions. He is also extremely disciplined and works so hard. I just hope he gets enough rest! 🙏

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam!
This extreme ultimatum was easier to counter than trying to draw the bloody cover of 'Loveless' in GIMP. So many great 90's albums to choose from to begin with 😅😵👹

Today starts the sharing of media that influence me as a game dev! Startin off is the original "Jak and Daxter" for the PS2! Supercozy collectathon platformer. I have quite a lot of issues with it but it still is one of my top games lol. The sense of traversing a magical land is very pleasant! 🌈

Currently working on a surfing-level reminiscent of CS Source maps together with floating Islands. It is creatively liberating since each island can function as its own "small level". But it is also vital and challenging to make them all interconnected in a satisfying and meaningful way 🙃✨🌈
