Had a gap today between hotel checkout and signing the lease on my new pad, so I slept on a park bench for a few hours like a homeless person.

Well, not LIKE a homeless person - AS a homeless person 😂

Ohh. No thanks.

ATTENTION:

I have 2 major announcement to make.

1) I am AMAZING at crane games.

2) I live in Japan now.

That is all.

What’s the issue with Discord? I haven’t heard of this yet.

This is the kind of stuff I wanna see. Old gameplay with super polished, non-realistic graphics.

Hello

I've always said horror and comedy are two sides of the same coin. It's all about the set up. You can't deliver a punchline without the set up, and you can't scare someone unless you build trust before you break it.

I've been playing Silent Hill f and while it's absolutely beautiful, the standard "game logic" doesn't work when it's that realistic looking. There are little sawhorse barriers that block your path, and I can't help but think, "Girl, just crawl under that shit." lol

Are Unreal 5 games crossing into uncanny valley territory for anyone else yet, or is it just me?

It’s a magical combo, suitable for any occasion.

Happy to report that I’m back in the Leon Kennedy phase in my life.

Underrated post

Truer words have never been spoken.

Yeah, I mean I hate sounding indifferent to people’s financial struggles, because I very much care about that issue, but I’m also swimming in a giant backlog of bangers I got for pennies on the dollar or quite literally free.

TW: I’m old.

I paid $90 for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on SNES in 1993. I paid $120 for WWF Attitude on N64 in 1999.

Yes. N64 games were often $120 at launch.

And I got Control (2019 GOTY and one of the best games ever, IMO) for $0 from Epic Games like a year ago.

I don’t get it.

Is it one of those social status/fad-joining things that my autistic brain doesn’t understand? Like, they need to have the brand new game that everyone else is playing to enjoy it? And $70 is too high a door price to get into the club?

Real talk: do the people complaining about game prices think the only games that matter are brand new AAA games?

Honestly, gaming has never been cheaper, in my experience. You can get new indie or older AAA bangers for a few bucks or sometimes free.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that seems to be the move most devs make - having an experienced porting studio guide the process. I said to myself, “How hard can it be?”. The answer is VERY FKN HARD. 😂

Are you porting by yourself too? I’m almost done with Xbox and PS for my game (which also starts with “Ghost”, btw), and it has been such a steep learning curve. How has the process been for you? Any advice for a noob solo dev/publisher/porter?

Arguably, an hour, tops. It’s the same principle as hair or boob physics. Pretty plug and play at this point.

I think you’re only focusing on supply side. Price is largely dictated by “what can we get away with?”. If people feel the entertainment value of GTA6 is worth $100 to them, then Rockstar can get away with charging $100. Same reason why T Swift can charge thousands for a seat and other acts can’t.

I’m SOOO close to finishing up Xbox and PlayStation versions of GHOST at DAWN. I’ll be announcing the release date very soon, and then I will be VERY ANNOYING posting about it.

You have been warned.

P.S. Being a solo dev/publisher/PR agent/porting studio is A LOT for one chronically ill dude.

Looks good! I thought it was a 3D model at first!

It does help and this is good news, but there are still hundreds of Texans in Joliet as we speak preparing to harass Chicagoans.

You don’t beat fascists in court.

Deploy the IL National Guard to stop Texas from invading our state

Always. I genuinely love your game concepts.
