IMPORTANT THING 👽

I skipped over this story many times, I think because the title image just turned me off, and I was lazy about reading the fine print

a new weird 😈 games showcase is really important (!) we need more shit like this. enough with bland AAA oatmeal, focus on indies experimenting ✨

I dont know how Im supposed to just take a chance on a multiplayer game I might fully hate

they dont make em like Speedball anymore

I didn't personally get obsessed with that one, but Ive got hooked on similar 2d multiplayer games that have that arena flow state

yeah thats why my rear projections are ektachrome, digital still doesn't look good enough for me (at least not what I can afford)

that 3d workshop you gave at IA was amazing. nothing quite looks like analogue 3d

my list is depressing because theres only one game from the past 20 years

I guess they just dont make my type of games anymore

in the case of multiplayer games, they are largely temporal

the best time to play L4D was when it launched. you can play it now, but all thats left are specialization servers of weirdos, honed like blades to perform muscle-memory maneuvers

marathon will play differently within a month or two

I feel like I have maybe one week to try marathon before everyone becomes super powered Counterstrike/TF2 players and the game mutates into a weird metagame of specialized information, rocket-jumping exploits

I remember sneaking into the hearn to take photos sometime in the early 2000s. maybe the coolest single building I ever saw, utterly massive, industrial, dangerous

so that event was really a weird one for me. to see it sanitized or "gentrified", guard rails up, everyone having cocktails in it...

I hate doing the high poly /low poly bake thing, its so tedious and disruptive to my workflow

so Ive spent the last 10~ years finding alternate ways of approaching this problem without having to use that workflow

I just wanna paint my textures in photoshop

Im self taught, so this is how I learned to make all the art for my games

Physically Based Rendering broke this a bit, but I still basically do everything this way, even in a pbr pipeline, it still looks good, because things remain shaded the way you want them to be
