Ys 1 and 2 are good vibes

i get kinda worried sometimes because i feel like my tastes are getting more and more niche and I feel like that makes it harder to connect with people about the stuff I like sometimes

Every now and then I try browsing steam looking around for random games, and every time I come to the same conclusion that I need the planets to align in a very specific way when I'm in a very specific mood obsessed with a very specific thing before I can be interested in a game

i rlly wanna make a hydlide-like game one of these days
big fan of the esoteric small-scope action rpg collectathon genre where you ram into things face first

on the bright side, it's very fun going back through older sections of the game and finding dots to connect

the lore...........

Help it got worse, now I've made an entire *squad* of spoiler characters

It's funnier in RPGs when the character moves one pixel vertically and then a dozen horizontally

My willingness to tolerate 4:3 gameplay stretched to 16:9 is directly proportional to how shitty the video quality is

Crystal clear sharp emulator pixels? You should know better.

240p capture card footage recorded over a decade ago gone through multiple levels of generation loss? I respect it.

I've seen sprites used as text before, but you're under a limit of how many sprites the Genesis can render total (80 sprites minus however many other objects you'd want on screen) and 20 sprites per line

Could work, but you'd be so constrained actually writing dialogue that it might not be worth it

Bet y'all were wondering about the poll winner... I might have gone a bit too hard on this one! Enjoy her magically changing clothes...

I tried to include as many outfits as I could but I had to stop working on this at SOME point, haha

I still really wanna try XV sometime *because* it's the roadtrip detour game

I notice I draw Eris going >:D a lot

I actually read through a few routes of Otogirisou recently via the fan translation!

I know there are plenty from the 90's, but it does make me wish more of those got translations, or that more homebrew VNs were being made.

Random fun fact, I made Eris as a green haired swordsman for a scrapped fantasy RPG idea before repurposing her for the more Sci-Fi style take that the RPG version and Classic went with

Wanted to try a modern take on that idea based on her current design 👀
A fantasy version of Eris holding a flame sword, a winged boxer in armor is behind her

That's totally fair! I think the issue I have is when people act like there is no value to games taking things slower, or that these slower elements need to be streamlined, when often I play those types of games for different reasons

It's also very much a matter of expectations set (and marketing)

This is the only real art we have of that pre-BUDD period, but it's funny to think that this is probably the first version of Eris

In Pokemon TCG's case, it seems like it has a whole system for repurposing tiles that have already been used before attempting to load in new ones, even between textboxes

That's kind of neat!
