Star Fox CD thing:
Added Daytona mode!
The landmaster is swapped with the Hornet, and the BGM is replaced with one of the 4 songs from Daytona USA! We've been playing Daytona USA a lot lately, so we thought it'd be funny, lol.

A photo of the long black frame on my office wall, with a PS5 box set of PSE at the top, and a little black plaque with lots of signatures in gold 

There’s also a Volvy plushie on the top of my little bookshelf under it, and a plum blossom Lego

The Possessor(s) team, as well as some other folks from Heart Machine & Devolver, conspired to make me an award frame thingy & I am ABSOLUTELY speechless 😭

The amount of love & care poured into this is.. astonishing. I loved this team so, so much & I miss them dearly πŸ–€

The actress Gillian Anderson plays the X-Files video game on a pc at a promo event. It looks AA little like she's been held hostage.

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

If I was a billionaire I would prob spend all my free time just finding random gofundme's and shit and funding them.

"oh dang medical expenses? Fuck it let me take care of this for you. Trying to build a better vacuum cleaner? Well shit take 100k we need more innovation!"

I recently rewatched the documentary "Indie Game: The Movie" for an upcoming Triple Click bonus episode (don't miss it!) and it portrays Fez as a game in never-ending development hell, with fans wondering if it'd ever come out, because it had been in production for... 3 years. How quaint!

Go to your library and learn things. Improve your life while also taking yourself offline. Make some tea, read a book, Improve everything.

Stop doomscrolling and just learn something. Learn to fix things, learn a skill, there are so many free resources. Start writing, start drawing, who cares if it sucks just do something, do anything. You will feel so much better.
