Indie game dev! I made Miles & Kilo and Kid Tripp. Working on something new that's taking forever™.
Yeah, rubberbanding on top of item RNG doesn’t feel good at all. Can’t create any breathing room, so when the RNG hits you’re just screwed.

I dunno though, maybe I’m missing something.

No way…

You can remap the controls for GameCube games. I just inverted the C-stick horizontal camera controls for Wind Waker.

This is so awesome.

The L/R buttons on the joycons are interesting. They wrap around farther down the side of the controllers now, so you can press them with the side of your fingers now. Accidentally tapped them a couple times, but I kinda like the idea.

Elden Ring's lore is awesome and I'm fascinated to see what story they've chosen to tell. I'm kinda hoping it's a prequel to the game that shows the Night of Black Knives and The Shattering. Might be a lot to stuff into one movie though.

Watched Rogue One immediately after.

It’s amazing how well Andor leads into that movie and contextualizes so many things.

But on the other hand, Rogue One’s pacing feels jarringly frantic in comparison, and Jyn is still the glaring weak point.

Hey wow thank you so much dude! That’s very kind of you, reading that gave me a little boost I needed today 🙂

And yes, I’m working on a new game, and I should have something to show soon -- I’ll post about it here when I do.

Welcome to bluesky! 🦋

I just made this upgrade to my game today and you're right it's stupid fast. Just under half a second on my machine.

It's also great because you can grab every single cel and pack it optimally, and when rendering dynamically toggle a sprite's layers for outfits and whatnot. Frickin' awesome.

Man that thing kicked my ass. I tried him twice last night solo, triple carted both times lol.

The size of his fireball attacks is ridiculous. Having to clear the crystals is a fun wrinkle though.
