For me it’s finally beating Gnasty Gnorc on the tiny TV in my Grandma’s room on Christmas Eve having been told ‘you might want to to bring your PlayStation to Grandma’s house’ with Sypro 2 waiting under the Christmas tree downstairs.

I’m impressed at her thinking about signal flow, you can see she was in 2 minds on the other side of the switch. She’s bright and inquisitive if she’s contemplating ‘how is the game transmitted’.

I think that didn’t used to be the case though. Sony buying Naughty Dog, they knew exactly what they were getting and helped them grow.

But these days it’s less ‘we want you for what you do’ and more ‘we have this gap in our portfolio, find someone to fill it’. Lots of square pegs.

This is sad, this team made Sly Thives in Time and Spyro Reignited (YOTD). I remember when Facebook bought them for VR; this seemed inevitable.

VR hype left a lot of casualties, I know lots of devs that got turned upside down by big players forcing the issue. Such a waste of talent and money.

I was Lead on the project, I think that enemy was done by @soundspam.bsky.social but the VO is probably @honestwilliam.bsky.social who did some minion recordings when he popped by for a visit :)

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the first game I've beaten this year and I can't sing its praises enough!

Don't sleep on this if you loved Donkey Kong Country anywhere near as much as I did.

I really wish music libraries, games systems or any other digital catalogue had a ‘sort by random’.

Most recent played, purchased or alphabetical isn’t super useful when you are not sure what to play but know you have great stuff at your disposal. Same list but random order would really help.

Little something I've been making as a hobby project.

Been wanting to learn GB Studio, and decided to do a Rextro demake at the same time.

Only a demo, but I'm happy with the results.

Again. Only a hobby project, and in no way an official
@playtonicgames.com product.

Hey almost Hybrid Theory! 😅 That makes sense though, that song was massive.

It’s somewhere on Hybrid Theory, I can hear it in my brain. Bet that subconsciously influenced a bunch of bands.

A drum kit and banner that reads ‘Moral Panic’, the name of the headline band, on a stage as people set up amps and guitars around it in a club several hours before a gig.

Headline gig tonight!!! Loud fun times again.

Something completely different, but my band Moral Panic is being played on BBC Introducing today some time around 8.30 tonight. So if you listen to any of the Midland’s station keep an ear out! www.instagram.com/reel/DP8228q...

Now imagine this without every resource under the sun instantly available to you.

The greatest art in the world is the stuff you assumed was impossible and then somone makes it look effortless.

Something being hard to pull off doesn’t make it not worth pursuing. Not all things things worth making are an easy ride.

LONG LIVE 3D PLATFORMERS
