I'm always a little sad when a submenu isn't resilient to this kind of user motion, like, didn't we solve this 10+ years ago

Indies seem to more often properly optimize their games because they genuinely want everyone to have a good experience, and the backlash to poor performance is more impactful when your reach is smaller.

I could be wrong of course, but that is what it seems like at the moment.

10.05.2025 08:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My take is that proper optimization takes a lot of work, and to a large company more work means more costs. Making it almost impossible for a game to be optimized in a larger corporate structure, as the majority of consumers either don't mind, or are taught that their device is just too weak.

I thought you meant like, any game made could run on a ps4, if you just go through the trouble of optimizing it, which also seems true.

Though I also agree that a unique aesthetic vision will always be more valuable than fidelity.

You can now see the release date on Steam! ๐Ÿปโœจ
Some of you might have noticed it said "coming soon" even though I had announced the date. That was because it didn't allow me to change it. But after a couple of week of back and forth with Steam support it's now fixed and the date is showing!

For a moment I thought they added staff credits to the Nintendo Music app, but it's just a playlist of staff credits music. huh

It was for a bit, but then we had a kerfuffle with the label. We split luckily, but haven't had time to workout Spotify since.
