FF7 Remake does a pretty good job of capturing the unnecessary spaces of the original. Not a literal reproduction, but a continuation of the same design values. Big, complex, convoluted, liminal chunks in the level geometry. I've always really enjoyed that.

this area was really compelling, though i wish navigation was a little more fluid and forgiving in this game

the short runway on this is also super fishy, even for Adobe. This is some kind of stunt

Increasingly tempted to start experimenting with a Create: Dismantled datapack which would exhaustively tweak and remove features until Create no longer has any features that undermine other mods. I think it can be done, but it would definitely take a lot of work and experimentation.

Ooh, someone submitted japanese translations for Thicket, I wonder how I would go about checking them?

Cloud is very relatable because he just has autism and his head hurty

I hated Wedge's voice actor but I am /not/ ready for the scene I'm about to trigger

Sort of pikmin-adjacent worldbuilding? Learn more about two societies as you play; your own, and the unspoken realities that drove people to establish new colonies, and that of the previous inhabitants of this world you've settled on

Other aliens from your world are also around and in general their attitude is very optimistic and ignorant of any of the deeper vibes of the landscape, to them this is just a cool/weird place to live. Through this the heaviness of the worldbuilding becomes something you bring yourself (2/2)

Monster tamer where you are an alien pioneer, arriving at a newly discovered planetary colony to find your fortune. Capture monsters, the only remnants of the previous inhabitants of this world, and piece together the story of their destruction and decay. Also there's a tournament. (1/2)

The truth is that the ruling class is threatened by tamers, who could wrest control back from them if they understood its power. Catch monsters and become ungovernable as the powers that be slowly destroy themselves in their futile effort to control your life.
Maybe too on-the-nose/heavy tho. (2/2)

Mongame in a world where taming monsters is now seen as fringe, deviant behavior. Some are fighting to have it banned, and increasingly they try to rewrite history to hide the role monster taming has always played in human culture. Tamers are becoming the targets of hate and violence. (1/2)

always inspired by games that feel big and rich but secretly got away with almost no animations

playing FF7 is making me want to make a big awkward vibey adventure game, but I feel like I'd need at least one other person because the ideas in my own brain aren't weird enough, it needs multiple voices

its rather tame but The Colorado Kid by Stephen King really surprised me with the realism of being faced with the unexplainable, i definitely recommend it

gimme a jazzy soundtrack and some mumble comedy and I'm set, there was nothing like Dr. Katz. Maybe Sifl and Olly?
