BitSummit is great, the Japanese indie scene is thriving and there is a really strong turnout for the business side too. Loads of publishers and investors from the asia pacific region.

Love the real-time take on 90s FMV adventure game controls that Crabmeat plays with. So many quirky twists in this game!

Added weapons and armor with the ability to swap them with a suitable item in your inventory. Stat and Affinity changes are displayed in the status menu with nice little coloured highlights like in SMT 4.

(and yes once again the ux is still wip 🫠)

Daughter Games and Wife Games are an interesting thing. they always come after, never before, the games centered on the men in a story—as if they have to ask for permission to exist

that doesn't stop a certain sector of absolute fucking babies from whining about the fact that they exist, period

my mental health has been rough last month and I've been making steps to sort myself out, but earlier today my wife was like "does this have anything to do with editing these Disco Elysium videos?" and I had to sit and think about it.

Experimenting with not always inheriting the ship roll on the player camera. It's a much more cinematic feel but is likely instant motion sickness for many.
