horror games by the sea with cat nearby is full power chelsea mode

yeah I feel you. I personally derive more inherent joy from competitive FPS than games like Balatro, but I also find them to be sticky and extremely easy to over-indulge in when I get into them- which leads to playing past the point of enjoyment

likewise dude, thank you for making the time for this. it was a pleasure chatting with you

I'm very lucky that the job I work to support my game dev efforts is talking to game devs who inspire the fuck outta me.

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 20d

agreed, they do great work!

Extremely honored to have the opportunity to interview the inimitable @brycebucher.bsky.social about 500 CALIBER CONTRACTZ, his creative process, and the sense of old-internet mystery that his games evoke.

Go wishlist this game, go play Fatum Betula, go support Bryce's work!

@jeremybjayne.bsky.social talks to @brycebucher.bsky.social about his upcoming 3D-platforming hitman game, the nostalgia of early 2000s aesthetics, and creating art in an era of uncertainty.

the iron keep runback to Smelter Demon in DS2 (at least in SOTFS, been a while since I played vanilla). it's so over the top. just tons of dudes running out to meet you on lava bridges, appearing behind you, ranged guys, etc. weird finicky treacherous walkways. all for a totally optional bossfight.

hahaha it's a small world!

it's a tremendous game, I'm gonna be shouting about it during GOTY season, guaranteed.

once had upstairs neighbors call the cops because my roommate and I were discussing a movie at a normal volume. it violated the upstairs-downstairs paradigm so radically that I managed to get out of that lease early (also they were insane)

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 24d

mission accomplished

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 24d

I've been in that exact position before. I'm terrible at explaining that I'm already getting the game and not just politely declining, so I end up writing a neurotic paragraph of affirmation like a lunatic

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 24d

thank you! been hard at work over here, so I'm excited to share as things start coming together.

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 24d

aw, that's exceedingly kind of you, thank you!
