Thread: Metroidvania |OT| What is a man?!
Blaster Master was my first Metroidvania, and still one of my favorites. A huge inspiration as a dev.

Thread: Metroidvania |OT| What is a man?!
Hey :) Yeah, if you recall you can eventually reach levels 2, 4 and some later ones right from region one, so they are all connected in a way. It blew my mind the first time when I realized that one of the other entrances was right above the place where you start the game. And since you earn new abilities in each region to access others, it fits the genre nicely.

Thread: Point & Click Adventure Thread 2017 - Pixels Walk With Me
Absolutely loving Thimbleweed on Switch, but make no mistake it wasn't really tailored towards gamepad controls. That said, I love having a portable version of the game, and it's made me realize how much I miss playing a good Lucasart's style adventure. It might win my award for favorite voice acting of 2017.

Thread: How much have you spent on STEAM? - Read'em and weep boys...
My totalspend is $6,249.27, and old spend is $3,714.79, whatever that means. Not bad being my primary hobby. Still cheaper than family health insurance.

Thread: I wanna play the Dragon Quest 1-6 which versions are best? Are they even worth playing still?
8 is my favorite, but 5 is a close second. I was pleasantly surprised by the iOS port of 5, great way to enjoy the game.

Yeah, Axel & Pixel is alright. One of the first adventure games I played with my daughter.

Huh, interesting. I've been playing with Probuilder in Unity and like it, but am thinking i'll just do most of my meshwork in Max. Probuilder is powerful, but just a little too tedious to work with within Unity's editor. Curious to see UE4's mesh toolset.

Congrats, this is easily one of my most anticipated titles, so glad you were able to see it through to the end! Myself, I'm FINALLY releasing a second game! Never Stop Sneakin' will launch on the Switch on Dec 14th (North America, Europe will follow some time later). Coincidentally, it took me 46 months to create Dust:AET, and 23 months to create NSS. Half the time. I wish I could say that trend would continue with my third game, but I highly doubt it. This has been a very interesting, experimental game for me, and I accomplished a lot of personal goals. Hope you all enjoy it!

I've actually been working on a couple different projects, NSS just happened to be the one closest to completion (by a WIDE margin). I also wanted to have a relatively quick turnaround between announce and launch, mainly because I knew my announcing anything not named "Dust 2" would be contentious. I figured it'd be easier for some of my fans, rather than announce NSS two years ago and have them waiting on that. The reason I fast-tracked NSS was because I really wanted to create something completely different than my first game. Granted, once again I misjudged how long it would take, but I'm really happy with the result. That said, I'm also excited for the other stuff I'm working on, and next time I don't plan on playing things so close to the vest.

I'm sort of twiddling my thumbs while I wait for certification, but couldn't help myself and started prototyping the next thing. Having an absolute blast, this is always the most enjoyable part of development.

Ooh, i really like these, how they crumble but reform instantly, much nicer that most platforms that just disappear/reappear. Looking good! I've always enjoyed your threads/posts Dusk, I look forward to whatever you whip up.

Hey Orioto, I feel you. You know, I also came at this as an artist, it's the main reason I picked up programming. I did go through a couple failed attempts trying to work with others, which is why I just went solo and have been doing pretty well ever since. Have you considered picking up the tools yourself? They've never been simpler, and you'd make a pretty dangerous combo doing art, design, and programming.

Good to see a lot of familiar faces popping in. Ugh, not sure why I decided at the end here to animate 20 minutes worth of cutscenes for NSS. Oh well, I wanted to brush up my 3D, no better way than jumping right in.

It's been a while since I've played DS1, but I think the biggest mistake when it comes to backstabbing is forgetting to completely let go of the left thumbstick before attacking.
