I concur! I remember mulling over how you'd do a cozy soulslike (as one who gets TERRIFIED of them myself 😬), so am I glad Andres found this! While this still has some edge, I found myself SUCKED IN! Bravo to the dev team on this one!!

I highly recommend the Mouseward demo. An original soulslike with Nintendo 64-style graphics, its cute rodents, intuitive level design, and adept combat systems had me thrilled the whole time.

It's been two weeks since we launched the E3 collections, an people are still coming across all sorts of amazing stuff. God I'm happy we have a userbase that's *this* excited about primary source materials

did we ever figure out what the citizen kane of video games was

If you don't believe in science you don't get to use the internet, get reading glasses, dental fillings, or any modern medicine I dont have time for this voodoo witchcraft bullshit

I've been working on recording/documenting my whiteboxing process a bit more, now that we've figured out a fast pipeline. Could be cool to see what the earliest versions of our levels looked like, yeah? We do a lot of iteration! Might be a bit before I'm able to show anything publicly though, lol

You should wishlist it! It's an N64-style soulslike with very charming rodents. Every character also has their pronouns next to their names, which I love. Keep cooking, @nshooter.bsky.social. store.steampowered.com/app/1188410/...

How to do Fromsoft-style level design: Ask yourself, what is the most ass-backwards way I can make the player navigate through this building before unlocking the front door as a shortcut?

Had one of my favorite streams in recent months. Mouseward is such a good game. Thanks for hanging out and to @arcanalegacy.bsky.social for the raid!

2000 reviews! Well I didn't expect this before we launched but I'll take it. :-)

I wish git had submodules but like, instead of not working, they would work

if there's a cat in your house you gotta go bother 'em. hurry

Just beat the demo for Mouseward and I'm feeling *so* accomplished. Fantastic time! Highly recommend checking it out!

can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed

We're not in this list but we should be ! Our games are made by hand, not by prompt. Every inch is hand-crafted, every moment hand-animated, and every pixel hand-painted. Games are art, and our art is a labor of love.

After watching all of the John Wick films and some Monty Oum videos, I think I've found a heuristic for rating action scenes: Chekhov's Guns per Second: Count how many times something you can see in the room is used later as part of the fight choreography, then divide it by the length of the movie.

Here's a pretty subtle lighting change between vanilla and the Dark Souls remaster: They made the exit to the Asylum Demon's room a little brighter by adding a point light floating in front of it. It illuminates the doorway itself a bit better, and also lights the ground in front of it.

I think online discourse would be in a much better place if more people could resist the Annoying Redditor urge to reply to an earnest question with the most low effort joke of all time 🤔

I'll never forgive whoever decided a "3x4 matrix" has a width of 4 and a height of 3, instead of the other way around

I think I'm finally at a point in my life where I can understand and appreciate where all the hype for classic Simpsons comes from. There's not a word of wasted dialogue, it's just a constant barrage of the funniest writing you've ever heard 😆
