I’ve now seen this in multiple Dragon Quest games… as a non-native English speaker, am I right to assume “the enemy ARE defeated” is wrong!? I know some words actually don’t have a different spelling when plural but enemy?? Shouldn’t it be enemies??

I think my favourite thing from switching to Unreal Engine so far is there being a proper structure for game systems and the like. It took some time to figure out and there are many parts that feel extraneous for a single player game but having GameModes? GameInstances?? Level Blueprints!?

One of my proudest accolades is being Nominated for "RPG of the Year" by D.I.C.E. and... it's happened again! 😅

I've noticed an active disdain for me wishing people a happy new year in the 2-3 days that followed NYE lmao. Other years I was part of the cheesy crowd continuing to wish folks a happy new year well past the 5 day mark but this year's definitely different geez

One thing I want to get "fixed" in my life is for me to get comfortable driving, in the eventuality that I must. The other day I realised that if I can beat bosses in Dark Souls or Elden Ring, I should not have an issue doing something that 440 million licensed drivers across the EU know how to do

Got a couple of soft-locks to fix and UX improvements to make, and we'll be ready to send out the prototype for our next game! I can't wait for people to see what we've been cooking up. I've rarely been as confident and excited for the potential of a game I'm making!

a Dragon Quest 7 demo drops tomorrow and I'm so excited, it apparently carries over the save from the demo to the full game, similar to the DQ11 demo. That one was such a giant chunk of game, I can't wait to spend some time with it
