Just think how we'll feel when it turns 40

Really, all the hate is Rupert the Bear's fault. The song could have been the antithesis to Watership Down's Bright Eyes in the right movie.

I'm really hoping it's not gonna be open world like Ninty seems to be doing for a lot of their games on the Switch 2. But also, the rock music seems out of place. It's not like it's Brutal Legend in space.

Proof that AI is becoming powerful. For the last 20 years I'd been trying to figure out what a specific TV show in the UK was. Chat GPT finally found it for me! Galloping Galaxies! See, I'm not crazy after all. Not in the slightest! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2GC...

Have you considered taking your "engine" for hellscreen and making another boomer shooter?

Ouch. Those sure are pricey!

I literally just finished watching the last episode of season 2 a few minutes ago. I've been gripped from episode to episode and now have to rewatch Rogue One to see how it all ties back around. Such a great show and a great warning on tyranny.

It's really tough to see the first studio I worked at treated like this. All the layoffs today are a severe mistake that shouldn't be happening, but I feel especially bad for Rare today.

Rare was always like a family to us, when we worked there at least. It hurts to see your family treated like this. I haven't really felt that same feeling anywhere else since.

Sorry to hear this. Hope you find some new work soon.

I can't wait to see what passes as 3d in this collection!

You should give up at 774. You know by then that if you haven't struck gold it's just not worth going the extra mile.

Thanks. OK. Time to start polishing all that!

It bothered me that the eyeball could see itself, so I fixed it up. Much better now #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

What do you think? Should I keep the eyeball, polish it up, and add to the body horror on this game? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

I've been asking myself the same question. Still no answers!

"Do you even lift bro?" I added bulging biceps to my stretchy arm, though I'm not sure muscles grow outside of the body... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Realized my player's outline shader hadn't worked for a while, so brought it back and made a few tweaks so the outlines are thicker closer to the camera. #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Why not one more iteration while I'm at it! A bit of Perlin noise goes a long long way to helping make those muscles grow #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Continuing to take my stretchy arms to weird and winding places. I think I can go weirder still! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Thanks! I hope I'll continue to be original!

I've now given the stretchy arm its own camera for some bizarre reason. If you think this is disorienting now, just wait till the next thing I do! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

What good is a comic book styled shooter without stretchy arms? #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

It's not half bad actually. Like old twitter. No ads, fewer bots and I'm discovering new useful features all the time!

I must be in a nostalgia mode. I rediscovered an old game I made on iPhone a few years ago, and it still works and is still fun (I think). It was hard work modelling and animating all those characters too! Shame it never took off... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwlP...
