Grew up in a house of four half-siblings who each were several years older than me, and both parents worked full time jobs. They learned they could put video games in front of me and that I’d govern myself.
Dunno when I decided that making games would be my pursuit. I was too young to remember.

I think it’s important to assume that, in the name of a dying trend, people with this mindset will make their company radioactive as an employment opportunity while slowly ridding it of the humans who gave it meaning to begin with

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

Game career presentation coming along Nicely
Shoutouts to KOEI, a company that either makes totally mindless action games (lovingly) or the deepest, most mechanically rich sweaty simulation games you’ll ever play outside of Europa Universalis
my opinion on musou today is that more people should play Warriors: Abyss, which is basically what if musou was also vampire survivors/hades, a game where you can play as historical heroes from china/japan and also several magical women from the Atelier series store.steampowered.com/app/3178350/...
WARRIORS: Abyss on Steam
Through victory and defeat, traverse the merciless trials of hell.

It’s Clock Tower. It’s not that it does anything particularly surreal or visually horrifying (though such elements are present). Rather, I can think of no other game that cultivates an atmosphere so oppressive by way of the use of deafening silence.
Much of the game is quiet.
Until it isn’t.

Cyclops space dolphin playing with rainbow death energy? Hell yeah. enemy design sure is fun :b (the pink on the sprite will be a chroma-key mask color to show through to a persistent parallax space background. it'll look so cool.)

Still automating room creation but boy has it paid off! With one button press, I bind the camera limits to the room, set entry/exit triggers, generate a chunk-based navigation mesh, generate waypoints for things like spawn zones, movement logic assistance, etc. Then I remove ones not on the navmesh!
