I tweet about them video games

Congratulations on the review @JuliaMinamata. An 8/10 in Edge is like a 4000/10 NintendoLife score.

@JustinPBarnett Rock band and guitar hero have more progression, a story, more gameplay elements. IMO beat saber is very bare bones. I hit blocks. Not saying it doesn’t have value, it’s a 10/10 vr experience.

@JustinPBarnett I would call it more of an exercise experience. I fire it up, I exercise. What am I really playing? I guess at best I would call it very loosely a game.

Making 2d pixel art in an isometric view makes perfect sense (and is strangely relaxing)

Experimenting with an MVC + observer pattern (for achievements and other things)

Inexplicable game mechanic - capture bubble in a circle and pop them.

For no real reason, some decaying and exploding cards.

@agentbizzle Woah, people my age don’t just get angry. We also make sure we ban stuff we don’t understand because we need to protect our children from exactly this type of filth we haven’t seen.

@edleonklinger Bic pens have a hole in the lid to conform with international safety standards. If they didn’t, prosecution would follow.

@PeerIGN On your body or a vehicle? As a man in his 50s I’d take them as a leg replacement any day

@Jonathan_Blow Imagine a mission system driven entirely by disinformation

@austin_walker @imranzomg Ant attack, Turbo Esprit, Skool Daze - smaller worlds than Elite for sure, but the humble speccy had a few with open world traits.

@paulhamx It's funny how games like Vampire Survivors and Brotato are just remakes of very early games but with auto-shoot and shops.

More progress on a Slay the Spire map
- restricted events can't appear consecutively
- outbound events from 2 or more paths must be unique
- elites or rests can't appear before floor 6
Added a bit of jitter for a more organic-looking map

@paulhamx Yes, I wonder how many 8-bit solo devs just bounced off 16bit and went into other careers. And how many great potential games we lost because games journos at that time were constantly trashing on anything that looked "old".

[supercurses @supercurses]

Getting closer to a Slay the Spire map in #pico8. Still needs some tweaking of the allowed room rules but getting there.

@roguetitan_game Yes, I've got a whole heap of balancing to figure out now.

[supercurses @supercurses]

This made my head hurt but now with user navigation along valid connected paths only.

@roguetitan_game Thank you! C=combat, R=Rest, T=Treasure Chest, S=Shop. First floor is always combat, last floor is always a boss, second to last floor is always a rest. Everything else is distributed based on probabilities. I just realised I forgot Elites! 😀
