Still working on the same map, last area, I've been taking things a bit slower because I'm going through some kind of tendonitis on my typing hand, hopefully things will get a bit better soon enough. #goldensouls3

Another fun fact about the Italian version of the Kirby anime, we had Marco Balzarotti, voice of Batman (basically our own Kevin Conroy) voicing Metaknight and it was pretty much what you'd expect!

[SwagKirb @Swag_K1RBY]

Italy actually did more of their own openings for animes

The Italian Kirby right back at ya intro is a legit banger

Work has been kinda slower last week, I've been having some tough days, but the map I'm working on is basically only missing the fifth mission, after that I can move on to the next two levels, the final two collect-a-thon levels of the project.

@f4micom I go to a local comic book store where the owner has this cabinet that's sitting there without being plugged in, I asked him about it and he told me that basically you need a permit to have it on as it's considered gambling pretty much like slot machines. Yeah, it's dumb.

This is not an April's Fool, @Combine_Kegan's new gameplay mod is out, starring the enigmatic rival of the Artificier, the Deriver!

Work on the current map has been good despite being a bit stressful, I can feel the burnout a bit in designing this level, but it's almost complete. As I said before, turns out designing a boat level isn't easy!

@CryptVoice This is all 3d floors

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

So far this map has been really hard to design, turns out nailing that cruise ship vibe is harder than it looks. #goldensouls

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

No shame on them of course, and I get that not everybody uses Twitter, it’s just funny reading all the “the project is not dead!” while I’m thinking “bro, I’ve been working on this every day since forever”

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

I think it’s pretty funny how there’s plenty of people who only wait for YouTube updates and don’t keep up with my dev logs here, so they basically think that I rise from the grave every time I upload a YouTube video (and this new video was the first upload since almost a year)

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

3)had to rework the type of obstacle that would get disabled for you to access the "reward" since the existing bars wouldn't work with 3d floors, that meant going all the way back to the code for both the switch and the failsafe and adapting it

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

When people wonder why this project is taking so long, I just spent two hours refining a single time trial switch because 1) it would conflict with an existing timetrial in the level so there'd need to be a failsafe to avoid starting both at once 2) handle the reset on level exit

I just published a video preview of the newest Golden Souls 3 level, Classy Cruise. #goldensouls
Video in reply below (testing to see if the algorithm likes it better this way)

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

Demons? On my cruise? I want a refund! #goldensouls

Time for a dive bomb. #goldensouls

@Terry_Dactyll It's more of a "feel" kinda thing, i have to "feel" the level i'm making otherwise it will lead nowhere

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

I've been working on a new map which is giving me quite the headache, don't feel comfortable publishing pics yet cause i'm not sure about it and might axe it completely for a plan B map, more to come.

@D4N5T3P Prime 3 is not as good as 1 and 2 but it's more cohesive and generally more interesting than 4 despite starting the "linear Prime" design

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

Finished Metroid Prime 4 earlier and I don't think I wanna play it again, unfortunately it's incredibly linear and the backtracking feels artificial, the desert area is just a gimmick duct taped together, and there's a lot of sections that just did not hit that Prime feeling.
