Hi, welcome!
People generally know me as Taizen! But that varies depending on who we're talking about.
I'm an artist/animator/gamedev/composer/pharmacy techician?? based in the midwestern US.
Currently gripped by fighting games, but my other genres of choice are JRPG and rhythm!

Nice to meet you 🫡

Hey new folks, I know my pinned is about my 3D game jam, but I picked up my very FIRST game to work on again. Here's the three that inspire!

One for town-building, one for the battle system, and one for... the... everything!

My brain is kinda just always living in 2001-2009, I guess... 🤷‍♂️

so one of the new characters in wd has a power set canonically described as "controlling space"
so naturally I made them capable of strike/throw mix, oki, poke and pressure at fullscreen

and then proceeded to get completely washed by the CPU while playing as the game's grappler

has anybody ever had an issue where running a game maker build in editor works as normal, but exporting it results in an old version of your game being compiled ?? gm refuses to create an .exe of bell spell 0.9.11 and it's getting on my nerves

maybe it's just bc this is my first time watching capcup through but I can't believe Capcom only prepared one b-roll to fill downtime with for 30 broadcast hours
