"Do NOT touch the memory card or power button until autosave is complete."

Lol exactly.
Im a proponent of Universal Reconciliation. If God is real, it doesn't make sense he would lose the majority of his creation to a torture chamber he created.
Great for controlling people with fear, but bad for promoting love.

The concept of the rapture was invented in the 1800s by some Irish dude named Darby. It's not some essential belief found in the Bible, like people may might want to pretend it is.

And furthermore, if anyone has ever told you that God is going to burn you forever because you are gay or trans, do not listen. Also a lie.

If Christ "died for the sins of the whole world," he doesn't get what he paid for unless he gets the whole world. The good shepherd does not lose even one sheep.

"The father creates the temperature in the room"
What kind of temperature does a heavenly father create when they are complicit in the torture of trillions of souls?

God is love.
If you have been told that God will torment you in flames forever if you don't bow to him, you were lied to.

I think motivation in video games should be studied more. Given Hollow Knight's giant success, it clearly gave a certain type of player more than enough motivation.
With my personality, it came up empty.
I think it is fascinating the difference between one player and the next 🙂

Perhaps things get clearer if you don't drop off early like I did but from the vibe I got...I kinda doubt it.

Understanding the lil bug's quest to prove himself would've gone a long way in giving me adequate motivation. I just felt like I was wondering around and just killing everything lol

Games like Banjo Tooie have metroidvania progression, and the devs of Alien Isolation thought of the game as a metroidvania internally....
I guess "ability gating" is the thing many are really talking about when they say "metroidvania"

🟡Noah N Copeland🟡made Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit @noahncopeland.bsky.social · Aug 27

For example, some say Metroid Prime is not a metroidvania because it's 3D first person, even though the goal of the devs was to recreate Super Metroid in 3D first person.
Castlevania SotN was actually inspired by Zelda, not metroid, yet Zelda is not often considered a metroidvania 😵

Yeah, I think the term "metroidvania" is somewhat nebulous. People seem to have different definitions for it. Some get quite particular about it.
I think I prefer action-adventure or search action (the japanese name) just to be safe.

Cool to finally see what they are doing with Bubsy.😊
I had to chance to pitch a Bubsy game to Atari a few years ago. We wanted to do a hi-res pixel art game, basically Bubsy's Sonic Mania. Did not expect a 3D platformer! Very cool, will check it out.

When GameMaker adds new features, it would be wise to consult game designers and creative-first developers.
Only asking engineers for new code features alone will just recreate some other OOP language inside of GML, instead of letting GML be what GML is.
