me: *pees during avenger*.kevin feige: You cheated not only the movie but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. Its sad that you don't know the difference.

Even the Ocean was inspired by Megaman X4, Final Fantasy 9, the utter annihilation of my faith in the USA and the video games industry over the course of 2014, and mario.
✨Thrilled to announce that Even the Ocean is coming to Switch, XB1 and PS4 next week!!✨.It's about Aliph, a power plant engineer, expected to fix the world's energy imbalance. Can one person do such a thing, or. will the world face the inevitable? .

To fully complete Anodyne 2 you'll need tens of thousands of hours. You must learn to read and use a computer or video game console. even develop cognitive puzzle-solving abilities. A mere baby couldn't do it.

Games industry causes so much harm via sexual abuse, labor exploitation, racism, etc. And for what? Probably should be abolished along with cops. No more superstars. "Fun", play, art. these qualities have never needed to cost human suffering OR millions of dollars.

When you finish a roguelike it should be standard practice that all your equipments and upgrades bounce away leaving a trail of copies like solitaire.
all my best/worst posts are on Cohost:. « why fight about the exact definition of 'roguelikes' and 'roguelites' when they are just Solitaire with more lore ».🥚

No amount of angry comments should dissuade you from adding difficulty settings to your game. This player was having trouble with the first boss. but after I switched on invincibility she finished the (still pretty tricky) battle in no time! 🌟.

It's morally neutral to disappoint people. I've been repeating this phrase to myself lately. I find that it helps me to be more straightforward in dating and relationships. To distinguish what is wrong from what is simply unfortunate. To release unhelpful people-pleaser guilt.

3D platformers often benefit from extra midair control, since distance/angles are harder to judge than in 2D. Instead of a double jump or ledge grab, Sephonie features Dash Vault, a powerful yet nuanced ability that'll make you see the spaces around you in a brand new way! 1/4

3D character platformers that progress thru lushly varied locales have often fixated on tired stereotypes of race & ethnicity. There's a certain poetic logic (or absurdist comedy?) in releasing one that directly grapples with contested ideas of nations & culture 1/4.

heyy. so remember when I was idly musing about how neat it would be to make an Anodyne 2 game manual? 👀👀👀.
Miss game manuals?? Check out what @even_kei made! Find it in Anodyne 2's title screen when it releases on 8/12!. (Also. I hear there might be a way to acquire a physical version in the future. ). ✨Wishlist Anodyne 2!✨

Good read! Anodyne was greenlit on Steam back in 2013 thx in large part to a collab/promo w Pirate Bay. At the time we had a loose "hope more people will be able to play it" mentality, but it's become clearer that IP law isn't for small creators like us & "piracy" is a net good.
"IP law has been used to create monopolies, crush the public domain and hurt the artists its proponents say it serves," writes @mechapoetic for @readpassage in an article that asks us to rethink what we know about "pirates." .

Our new game is really coming along!! The characters and props use a PSX vertex color-inspired art direction like FF7 enemies (although behind the scenes I am actually using a UV + texture workflow). What do you think?.

💡Did you know Sean and I are in the early stages of working on a new game? It's VERY different than anything we've done before: a collect-em-all RPG with a puzzle grid battle system (think: tetris but totally different). Here's some loose concept art.
