Yeah its honestly still not great especially for gamepad nav. I heard CommonUI is now the focus and goes some way (??) to solving it as an issue, but I havent looked at it properly and have my doubts.

Crash Test Dummies on SNES. Objectively a bad game but I have a lot of memories playing it as a kid, I used to love the toys so I tried to find the good in the game.

Have you considered artstation? It's considered as a standard here for game artists, concept artists etc to have their portfolios on. Might be worth a look.

Iโ€™m back and looking for work. Anyone in the wrestling business needs merch, a band wants an album cover, book cover. Anything you need, I will do pretty much anything.

Hit me up.

Everything feels so serious now and caught up in being presented just like the real thing and I miss exaggerated proportions, flaming special bars and snappy animations

Been going down a mid-2000s extreme sports game rabbit hole recently and I think sports games have really lost something since they moved away from that arcade style and light heartedness. There's not much to fill the gap that SSX/THPS/EA Big left behind imo.

I think they can, it just comes through as intangible/indescribable and just a feeling thing.

Not to be overly dramatic but looking at comments and replies on social media for other's games, and there's no real reason why anyone would want to develop a sports game in public any more. Awful.

I'm planning to move over to fdm. I don't want to risk anything with health with resin printing any more

Who's stupid idea was it to make a runtime level editor

Worst idea I've had in a long time

I'll see what I can do! Absolute belter of a game. Was playing it last night. You guys ever want to cover the Forbidden DoR mod?

My long term, long silent indie project caught some strays in a reddit thread about another long term, long silent indie project today. Feels not great, but happy that people still think about it and it's in their minds. Looking forward to showing it once more when things are looking great

The Electric Grenade in Let Them Come: Onslaught โšก
Starts off weak but ends up launching triple grenades with massive AoE and rapid damage ticks. Best paired with repulse to pushback enemies.

I've calmed down on saying it's better than HCTP, but imo, it's for sure equal.
