the game 'party animals' has a new #1 hater today.
that predatory multi-million budget trend-chasing live service "lifestyle" mtx + gacha *kids* game is everything wrong with the industry. if i had a physical copy, i'd smash it to bits.
i have never felt such spite for a game before. ohhhhhhohohoh

you don't see interesting new precision platformers drop very often! i'll definitely be playing this one ;)
My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount!
Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

managed to implement localization systems for the entire game in ~2 days! i should've done this way earlier lol
there's ~150ish entries for menus (buttons, prompts, tooltips, etc) and 400+ entries for bottlecaps
i'm not confirming any languages atm but there's still benefits to this outside of that

I see so many indie game devs tearing their hair out worrying whether their incredible passion projects are worth $20 or not and it's really funny sometimes to be reminded what a company like Nintendo thinks $20 is worth

mario galaxy 1 & 2 being $40 EACH is so bad
they advertise a new physical rosalina storybook except it doesnt include the new pages they're adding in the new switch rereleases and that is just so vile. they're absolutely doing this bc of the movie but like
each game was like $15 or $20 on wii u

god damn this goes crazy visually. i've always wanted to do something lofi / ghost in the shell coded but this is just so beyond anything i had imagined
After a lot of time spent this weekend, the system is almost completely functional.
It calcs cap chance (based on LV, HP, Dist, Aware) & has a fail state.
In the future, needs more camera angles and animations. Also missing the part where you compare stats afterward.

i just realized how unclear progress is on the game atm, sorry about that!
right now, 5.5 main levels & 4.5 full-length bonus levels have been built. there are 8 main levels planned.
i've only been showing off 2-3 levels for the past year as we're still doing a major art pass on everything!

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

silksong, honey...... a 80 hour game does not belong in the $20 price category......
us indies with 20 hour games really need that space for healthy expectations...

god i hope silksong is $25+
just for the sake of indie pricing standards. team cherry has a huge influence over what people expect indie games to cost atm, and it is so hard to fight those expectations
especially when every major game platform takes a 30% cut!

i am having so much fun in dk bananza doing literally nothing that the level design asks me to
is there a tower i need to go inside to climb? i refuse. i will do silly jumps and tricks to scale the outside instead
the "hinges are weaker than the door" gag gets me every time LOL
