Adding onto this, publishers may be passing them along to indie devs because they want something smaller made.

Considering what the original GBC soundtrack could sound like at times, I say this doesn’t have a high bar to climb. youtu.be/PhHrBOv8Y8Q?...

Spoke too soon. Apparently Dino Crisis is out on Steam (unless that was announced earlier).

I had a really interesting chat today with a game creator who casually admitted that a popularly cited piece of trivia about their series is totally fabricated. They just made it up on the spot decades ago because they were bored and it has been repeated ever since. Hilarious.

I looked into it. Apparently, it’s not harassment. The guy who ran it made an NSFW joke about Baby Coco years ago and couldn’t let it go so he fessed up to it. Folks started leaving because they felt uncomfortable staying, so they decided to transfer ownership of the server, which is why it

Decided to add a slight pause before the double jump, similar to Klonoa, and there’s now an air dash. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #GameMaker #ScreenshotSaturday

I think Namco x Capcom could be a cool one, but that might not be far enough back for Hamster and even if it was, it wouldn’t be easy. Nights into Dreams would be a great one, even though I’ve never played it.

It's with a very heavy heart that we share the news of YoYo Games founder and original CEO, Sandy Duncan's passing. GameMaker would not be where it is today without Sandy and our hearts are with his family at this very difficult time. Rest in peace.

Not a Patron but I guess the Rayman stuff is about the Anniversary edition that was rated as well as the rumors of there being a remake of Rayman Legends being in the works despite Ubisoft Milan hiring for a 3D game, which caused speculation of a “Rayman Legends 3D”.

Without the ability to say too much, please understand that $30 for full-cart Switch 2 physicals is not normal, and cannot/will not be the norm.

It is "too good to be true" pricing, being price-matched to SW1/PS5. Don't blame those (i.e. everyone) that have to price above this.

Thoughts on Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S: I like it… when I’m not playing Tetris. When I am, I stink.

That’s nothing. I’ve only beaten one of my Christmas games this year. Then again, I did all the non-DLC Grand Prix’s in Sonic Racing Crossworlds, so let’s count that as number two.

Finished the wall jump. Now the character switched back to its main state when the line isn’t overlapping the wall. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #GameMaker #pixelart

Kinda bizarre a made-up food could be made in real life. Then again, someone made a recipe for Bubble Bass’ order in that one SpongeBob episode.
