Somewhat similarly, I am always way more pumped to be making video games than playing them. The former I can do any time, any place. The latter though, I gotta be in the right mood and gotta find *juuuuust* the right game for that moment.

Makes me wonder if that's similar for most creatives

Some of that stuff may end up optional, but at the moment I'm pretty set on having at least vertex inaccuracies and 4:3 as non-negotiable ๐Ÿ™ƒ

If you're digging TPL in that way, I'd recommend not skipping out on Daxter's PSP outing. For my money it's the best game in the series after TPL, much more focused level design than 2/3 that feels closer to the philosophy of the 1st game imo!

I got to do vertex color for some custom modded Crash Team Racing levels this year as part of a team, and now that the tracks have finally been released I can show off my contribution!

Here's a before an after of Arcane Garden and Kong Dungeon:

Will this be/is this a toggleable feature? Just thinking that there are several projects out there (including my own) that make use of custom timecycs.

In which case, open it to outside studios. I'm sure there a several capable teams champing at the bit to jump on that sort of opportunity!

I'll be honest, I was always a little confused at the target audience of it. Seemed not quite lofty enough to attract experienced game devs, but a little too intimidating for the casual LittleBigPlanet fan, for example.
But after seeing this, I'm right with you. Would LOVE to see more like this!

Bought a copy of Dreams specifically to play this... Money more than well spent, the best Banjo thing I've played in DECADES! So like... why can a handful of fans make something THIS GOOD that's both faithful and adds some freshness to the formula, and yet we never see anything official?

This is an evergreen email, they've just greenlit 2 sequels and a spin-off TV show.

The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members
YouTube video by People Make Games The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I have always wondered why the Wii U and not Wii 2 though. The marketing "Wii 2 would like to play" was right there, and would totally avoid any confusion about the gamepad being a Wii addon...

There's something very satisfying about nailing a long glide from a later section of a level, and landing above an earlier part... Ofc that skill must be rewarded! ๐Ÿฆ‡

Nothing in Flit N Flutter is safe from easter eggs... 1% chance of getting *that* version of the line here.
Shoutouts @dylanjayfox.bsky.social for recording this take as a joke... but it's canon now. ๐Ÿฅ

Screwed up the UV mapping on the bottom left hand side of the pavement though, rookie mistake.

If it's already evoking that feeling in people, I think that's a very good sign!

So often feels like big outlets don't have anyone on staff that actually likes 3D platformers, so they all get snubbed.

I just wish they didn't still hold so much weight with the general public :/

Besides the obvious.... Muppet Monster Adventure! The idea of classic Universal monsters mixed with The Muppets is genius (and was almost a movie), throw in 3D platforming and I'm totally sold!
