Thanks! That means a lot ❤️ I completely agree and it's basically the reason this game exists! I wanted colourful goofy pinball and noticed it's not really a thing 😀

hmm, maybe my game? Retro is quite a broad term 😅

Yep, haven't paid full price for a game in a LOONG time.

The current AAA pricing model is outrageously greedy and downright *lazy*

Tracks in the snow! Whose are these tracks, and where do they go?

Sound design is fun. Layering ambience and gentle piano really sets a lovely atmosphere

That third point is one I have learnt from 😅 started prototyping my next game and I too need to make sure I hit all three.

It's tough, but this is why we do it!

Update: It IS great

Some of the text boxes wrap in strange creative ways in the book, but it goes deep into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (one of my favourite games ever) so I might be a little biased 😍

tombasche | Super Pinball Adventure ☄️ @tcbasche.bsky.social · 4d

Now that I'm nearing the full release I keep thinking of all the "things" I *SHOULD* have added to the game to make it better and stressing that I didn't do those things 😅

I assume this is 100% a normal feeling?

There was a post on Reddit I saw with some AI bros staunchly defending an AI thing that can generate hundreds of hours of dialogue to really increase immersion! Imagine talking with every npc about anything!

So yeah, they have no idea about game design

I don’t think evil so much as incompetent or perhaps “I like games why don’t we do something with games” or “games industry is economically huge I want some of that”

Regardless of motive, it sucks.
