It depends, New Leaf is much more of a "complete" game, lots of things to do. Wild World strips Animal Crossing down to the essentials: Strong villager conversations with a good amount of bite and YOU (the player) being a rando loafing about. The top screen ONLY shows the sky, saying: Lol why not???

While I do own a New 3DS, I desire a dedicated Wild World device, with no black borders and blurry upscaling

Bought up a battered pink DS Lite for 10 € from a woman named Shelly, the same amount I once sold mine to GameStop for when I was broke and starving

Thank you Bluesky for unsolicitedly cranking up the saturation, I look so much healthier with a feverish complexion

It is fatally cool, pushing nearly everyone away

Posting a preview video for Low Beam so I can get some feel good clicks while on vacation

It's the first couple minutes, mostly visual novel stuff, but with some ~light~ interactivity

Em Reed (Debut novel MORE BUGS out now)!!! @dayofthemutants.bsky.social · Aug 22

I hate all the stuff about "efficiency" like oh you can write a novel this fast or a game should only take this long to make like... why waste time executing on ideas that are only worth a few months of thought when you can have fun playing with better ideas for years?

Working with video is a little bit like improv: There's this innocuous road sign right at the start, with arrows and some blob, and while this is not a radical reframing, I can use it to introduce one of the game's key items (the mystery egg) without changing anything in the video itself

Anyway, the location of the 11 minute main looping video (it really does loop seamlessly) Low Beam is built around is only 40 kilometers away from there, and you'll get to "explore" some cool locations like a tavern infested by Nazis...
Well, there will be Nazis, since they're everywhere in Saxony.

The shitty lil village I used to live in had two bus stops: One was remote and far away from my house, the other much closer, but in a different fare zone my travel card didn't cover, and spotting the blood thirsty ticket inspectors keen on catching lazy kids was an important daily routine
