Ahhhh, so you’re only at the east part of the game…

My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount!

Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

I worked with a lot of these folks back when I was at Respawn, and I can't praise them enough. If I wasn't super happy where I am now, I'd be jumping on this myself.
Go apply to this, tell your friends to apply!

Ramble III: A Perfectly Reasonable Somewhat Reasoned Screedy Diatribe — A Fairly Soupy Site In which an angry rant is paired with some practical level design content to better the player experience.

I went ahead and wrote a third designy bloggy thing.

I think that makes this a tend, and I’m pretty sure that means I’m trending!

Woohoo!

Hopefully mostly excited though!!!

Ommmm nom nom nom.

Sunday mood.

Lawful Good LD: It opens a secret door on the other side of the shaft.

True Neutral LD: Why did env art put that there?

Frog and Toad gaze at their own reflections in a mirror. Toad holds in his hands a book titled "Fairy Tales." From "Dragons and Giants" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

Another tackling perf tip:

- Show a big FPS counter on screen ALL the time.
- Make it a little annoying to turn off.
- Have it turn yellow and then red as the fps drop.

Bonus points: smaller text showing gpu and cpu usage etc. to help easily pinpoint where the issue lies.

Environment Artist Remote

Really nice work, and sorry to hear about the layoffs (it’s all… just ugh).

Anyway, since you were looking, I figured I’d drop this. I can vouch for these being really great people (to both work with and know). Good luck!

“The true hardest enemy in this game is capitalism.”

My 10 year old, late in Silksong, lamenting his lack of rosaries and the cost of benches.

Oh yeah, that was … a bit surprising. :)

Thank goodness it’s the only problematic thing that’s ever happened at Disneyland.

Oh to have witnessed that. I’ve never really been nostalgic for the good ‘ol days until now. Amazing

Wow. Did not expect. But also, when you’ve stuck gold, why change?

Also alas never got the joy of experiencing a true E-ticket, though every time I fly I pull out my phone and pretend that I’m special…

Also reading the ‘approved alternative’ - how much off script were they good with?

That script is just great! Love the queue area stuff (I don’t remember ever hearing that - is that just not modern?)

Just in time!

Or so it says. And it wouldn’t lie to me, right?

Right?!?

Sigh. Seeing stuffs like this is one thing that’d been nice about not being on the socials medias as much.

Again, sigh.

I think they were thinking, “In the future some indie game dev will need inspiration for a quirky side character. Let’s help!”

Sir. Um, excuse me sir. Hi there hello.
Erm, I’d like to maybe sit th…
Mmmm. I see.
Okay sir, enjoy your nap.

But what about 15 seconds?
