Its streaming on Prime, no excuses

If someone told me the 'we dont know how it works' angle was more for legal defense, I wouldn't be surprised

It overproduced every moment from the original, to a fault. Which is largely what my opinion of Remake was. It's basically the same experience but longer. Music is excellent tho.

At #MCAtlanta there was a surprise Dandan tournament! 600 people entered, but I was the only person undefeated in the swiss with 7-0. Quarterfinals gave me my first loss. Placed 5th overall, which earned me a slabbed 5th Edition Dandan trophy! Thanks for the fun event @mtgsecretlair.com

Back in 2017 (jfc) I interviewed Team Cherry about how they designed Hollow Knight's map, and got a bunch of sketches and mockups from throughout the game's development to go with it. Bringing it back in anticipation of Silksong!

How to design a great Metroidvania map

The creators of Hollow Knight describe how they built a complex, interconnected world, from sketches to final game.

Honestly, there's tons of games that could stand to have Gameboy demakes/ports

This was also my trajectory with these two. Difficulty in Elden Ring is a lot more build based than most people realize, tho various bosses have also been patched over time.

CRT Pixels @crtpixels.bsky.social · Jun 27

Yet another nice example of a developer keeping a midrange, composite-only, consumer CRT nearby to check how the game’s visuals would look for the end user.

Here's a big one...

Craig Stitt allowed us to scan the original concept art for Spyro the Dragon. The Insomniac artists matched heads and bodies together until they found the right design.

We scanned this at high resolution so you can see all the detail.

A drawing of Spyro the Dragon, stitched together from multiple drawings. There is whiteout visible on the drawings as they iterated on the character's design.

I'm pretty happy with the care that was put into the presentation and authenticity of this... new game boy package experience. Its got a well done manual, the cart itself has nice touches, and the game works on all my hardware! Long wait, but they did a great job with it.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
