I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed Kemono Teatime.
Incredible video game that is currently doing a number on my mind.

Oh you know these songs are only going to be like 50 second long loops, because this jumps between the best parts with no build up, this is awful

This is a really inspired adventure game with probably the best instance of melding narrative and puzzle gameplay together, since.
Honestly? 999.

Type-Noise is an extremely compelling game and you should check it out!

(And also my review, I'm proud of it.)

GUESS WHO'S BACK

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

Honestly, Grok sponsoring a Tron movie is the most anti-Tron thing and just shows how much Ares is straight up corporate tech bro propaganda. It’s very sad. Tron has such potential and never fully gets there. Legacy and Uprising are good but Tron: Identity tbh is the franchise peak.

A sponsorship installation for Musks Grok doing AI bullshit at the Tron Ares premiere.

idk if getting something new in the metaphor stream would have excited me.

I'm still so miserably burnt out by it I fear

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

I need to clip the Red Light District puzzle area in Type Noise solely just so you can hear the absolutely banger song that plays for it.

Peak Adventure Game material

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

Ok so like.
You've got Cheren right?
Kid who wants power and to be the best and coolest.
And then you have Team Flare. Who think they are literally the best.

Do you think we could replicate Cheren's arc where he realises that without his goal of being the best he has nothing?
But in Kalos?

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

My brain really wants to try and slap Cheren and Bianca and Kalos and see if it 'would work' better

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

Team Flare are neat in that they're horrid villains with 0 qualms about their evil, and there's something in Sycamore's regret about not actively reaching out for Lysandre, but besides Shauna, these kids are nothing.

I read the article and I have to agree with it lol.
Im going to see if I can finish the video at work.
Whilst I still find the N moments Cool what I find most compelling is the arcs of Cheren and Bianca.
That's what the 'story' is to me, kids taking on the world and developing in the process.

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

A story and themes don't exist in a vacuum is important.
The related post about XY is interesting but doesnt change the rest.

I'm not sure what you think the themes of B/W are but they're fairly compelling journeys of self discovery at the very least.

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

I cannot remotely agree with this because the cast quality is night and day.

Unova is easily the most compellingly constructed reigon, with the franchise's best core cast.
The XY postgame stuff was peak but I find the friend group is bland and Kalos largely uninteresting.

Phoenix;Fiasco @phoenixloop.bsky.social · 4d

Oh fuck, more reason that i completely missed about why the looker sidequest in xy is peak. :)
