Fun fact, i never finished Volgarr the Viking and I'm still pretty satisfied with the purchase.

Its okay if a game ends up being too much for you. There no shame in leaving it unfinished once you had enough.

They have books to sell. What are you talking about?

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 24d

Uh... what?

I bought some nice containers to keep out by the coffee machine and transfer it to that as needed so I don't feel like a caveman drinking out of a milk carton. :)

This goal, unfortunately, few achieve. Way too many people get stuck doing things they hate and that is a human tragedy.

I wish everyone reading this the very best of luck in your personal pursuits, joy in your lives - and you find that spark ❤ 3/3

Once you do this, alarm clocks are no longer needed. Most of your stress melts away.

For me, it is making video games and spending time with my kids every chance I get.

"One" of the greatest aspirations you should have for yourself (as there should be many), and this is one of the hardest in life to achieve, is to have the kind of work (or thing that brings you a paycheck) you look forward to springing out of bed to work on. 1/3

1st car I ever bought with my own money when I was in the Army. I sure do miss it.

I always wanted to get that game remade for consoles/ steam so more people could get access to it. Shame it never happened.

I could tell so many stories about the dev of that title. This game almost didn't exist at all. :)

It is pretty cool to see ideas pop up now that reaffirmed, at least to me, it was ahead of its time in many ways.

Thx for shining light on it.

It's also worth noting that two of the employees, Taron Millet and Kristofor Durrschmidt(@volgarr.bsky.social) split from Griptonite games to form Crazy Viking Studios and release one of my favorite hard-as-nails platformers of the 2010's, Volgarr the Viking. With Volgarr 2 recently released in 2024

With the first new Shinobi in more than a decade, I just want to give a special mention to Shinobi on 3DS. A game so severely overlooked that even a good chunk of Shinobi fans ignored it or were unaware it existed for a time. And that is such a shame, because it's one of the best of the series.
