Got some cool Samus stuff from @hoshizoralone.bsky.social!!

Photo of a book titled "Lone's Samus Comic Sketch Book" with an illustration of Samus, Pikachu, and a metroid on the cover. There is also a small handwritten card that says "THANKS FOR YOUR ORDER! ❤️, LONE" with an illustration of Samus and a metroid.

Photo of two pages inside the aformentioned book. The first page features a Metroid Prime style scan log about Pikmin. The second page features a short comic about Pikmin taking pieces out of Samus's arm cannon.

Photo of a print featuring an illustration of Samus in a maid outfit.

Photo of a print featuring an illustration of Samus in the Metroid Suit (without a helmet).

My Silksong experience so far:

"I've only had Sherma for a day and a half."
"But if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

Pyre's take is interesting since it also acts as a balancing mechanism. If you don't do well enough, you can fail the chance to free (get rid of) a character. But then you'll have a stronger team so it should be easier next time.

I made a jam game like that once:

The whole "tap focus to cast with a slight delay OR use the dedicated quick cast button to cast instantly" thing in Hollow Knight always struck me as a bit confusing and awkward. Especially since it's possible to accidentally fire off a spell if you cancel a heal too quickly.

Veralos 🪐 @veralos.bsky.social · Sep 5

Feeling very validated for my choice to use completely separate buttons for healing and special attacks (spells, basically) in this game, after it seems Team Cherry made a similar design decision for Silksong.

I've released the full version of the Amora Lumina fangame I've been working on for a while, now officially named Amora's Odyssey! It's a metroidvania heavily inspired by Hollow Knight.

Between Prime 4 and Silksong, I have to admit this was not the high-profile-metroidvania-that-seems-destined-to-never-come-out I expected to be released first.

Regardless... SILKSONG!!!

If anybody ever asks me what The Amazing Digital Circus is about, I'll just send them this.

Been working on a fangame based on vtuber Amora Lumina, and just released an update to it: veralos.itch.io/amora-game

It's a Metroidvania heavily inspired by Hollow Knight. With the latest update it's now content complete - just some testing and polish left before final release!
