Quite enjoying Metroid Prime 4.
The gameplay is... ok. The flow, the power-ups, the riddles, the fights – it feels like I've already seen it a few times 😐
But the top-notch presentation makes up for it. Absolute fantastic set design, music, particles, all in all atmosphere.

I am enjoying Metroid Prime 4 so far, great game in all aspects.
But I have to say, I'm not a super fan of the idea that a console game asks the player what mode they want to play in, first thing. Both modes sound like a compromise, and it feels like I'm missing out on something whatever I choose.

Mario Kart World had no right to be this fun!
Honestly it's been a surprise. I thought I was tired of the Mario Kart series after 8, but World is great. Power-ups make it unpredictable, but the driving is really technical and expressive. There's a lot of tricks to perform, and to win you have to!

Shouldn't have clicked on the new Mario movie trailer. It ruined my morning.
I really hope Nintendo stops with the whole "let's make tons of movies by just giving the IP to third-party" power dream.

One of my assets got nominated for Best Development Tool for Unity Awards... what?!
If you fancy you can vote for it here: awards.unity.com/vote/section/2
Though to be honest, the competition is so fierce I'm not sure it has any chance 🤣

@codecks.bsky.social last week I went to a talk by Richard Lemarchand here in CPH, with a focus on scheduling the production of a game realistically. Among other things he's shown this chart from the book in pic 2. It made me think of her new Vision Board functionality!

Since it seemed like a few people might find interesting to hear my angle on how to deliver a tech presentation, I re-recorded my old talk using the slide deck I found last week. So here it is.

Finished Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip.
I got to be honest, the game is one big fetch quest, and towards the end it was starting to be a bit tedious. But the humour keeps it fresh.
There's virtually no challenge so it can be played by kids too.
Really nice and hilarious game!

I find it hilarious that Il Post (the newspaper I read), in this article about analysing the scientific feasibility of Trump and Musk's claim of going to Mars; nonchalantly opens the article with an image from Guzzanti's comedy movie "Fascisti su Marte" ("Fascists on Mars") and no comment about it 🤣

It's funny. ChatGPT itself "thinks" the AI bubble is soon going to burst, that there's going to be a hard reset with few surviving companies.
Also, it "thinks" that betting everything on LLMs is a mistake.
