Mitchell F. Wolfe

I can immediately tell this is going to be one of those posts I think about for a long time

Thanks! And I think "ludography" would be the most fitting, probably. From "ludemes" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludeme

Mitchell F. Wolfe | Mitchell F. Wolfe | Portfolio Mitchell F. Wolfe's game design portfolio. Includes work on Star Wars, Knot Me!, and Tony Hawk.

Just dusted off my portfolio website! Come check it out at mfwolfe.com

Still looking for work in encounter, quest, mission, or narrative design if you know of any openings!

Quote tweeting this mainly for future reference. A lot of good newsletter recs in here.

There is one on the eastern edge of the map that made me question if I even like video games anymore. And then I 100%ed the game.

That's exactly the one I expected you meant.

Heather Flowers does it again

Obviously if you just have never liked Star Wars or Disney, that's fair and everything. It just doesn't seem like where this is coming from.

Fully expecting the nerdcore media headlines to be "Mandalorian and Gorgu is Actually Good?!?!" And like, yeah. The show was pretty alright. I don't really see why that wouldn't be an expectation other than the unrelated Star Wars movie six years ago made by a completely different guy.

I'm seeing a weird amount of haughtiness about the Mandalorian movie trailer. The show was one of the more liked Star Wars things in recent memory along with Andor and it will be nearly seven years after the last Star Wars movie when it comes out. I think it will likely be good?

*haven't SEEN games be able to

I can't do one post, dawg

Obviously biased, but I think the best licensed video game franchise of all time is the Tony Hawk series. Not only are the Pro Skater games great video games in their own right, they adapted the youth culture of the time itself in a way that I haven't games be able to in a long, long time.

Whoa! I think you'll find, though, that I was four seconds faster.

Silksong dusted

Question for anyone that commissions art regularly.

How many notes is too many notes to give? Once the artist brings back their first draft, is it within your rights as commissioner to tell them "no, that's wrong" (provided, of course, compensation for more work)? How many times?

Me: "This Silksong boss is really kicking my ass."
My GF: "They all have been."

Shocked. Flabbergasted.

Unreal. Whether or not it was possible, I never thought we'd be as optimistic about it as we are now in my lifetime.

NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year - NASA A sample collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover from an ancient dry riverbed in Jezero Crater could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life. Taken

So, because of the stupid news yesterday, I missed the actually VERY cool news that we apparently found likely evidence of life on Mars! www.nasa.gov/news-release...

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

I'm just gonna say it. I think the shit we had to read in school had a pretty damn good batting record. Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, King Lear, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Huck Finn all have highly salient themes today.

This is such an exciting way to put it. Love that.

It's more like mortgage tranches in 2008.

The best way to use terms like "AAA" in the games industry is to have the number of As represent digits in the team size. 1-9 team members is A, 10-99 is AA, 100-999 is AAA, and 1000-9999 is AAAA. If GTA6 actually has over 10k team members (idk), yeah, sure. AAAAA.

I really do not think this is crazy or silly at all. It's worth pointing out that the range of what we perceive as "AAA" is enormous and that there is a huge difference between higher and lower end AAA in terms of development scope.

I need to finish Phantom Hourglass before I can start Silksong.

If the Prince and the Queen didn't find her, I think Snow White would have ended up with Sneezy.

Got some painting done before I go back to work tomorrow. WIP, it is my cat.

Love when a level is a train. The Excess Express in TTYD is a structural format I want more games to steal.

Whoa, it's him
