for my own peace i must specify that pre-Razzomania Raz is completely different than “Mania” Raz, their only real similarity is their design
where Old Raz is some guy with Shadow Limbs and Demon Forme (Razirim)
Mania Raz has pewpew beams and IS some sort of weird demon thing (a Razzo) by default

i like holding on to old sketchbooks and then redraw what interests me mosts in all the blank space i left as a kid—
i miss my old sona’s demon form his has such aura nowadays,, but i think Razzomania is a good place for both Phraze AND Raz

i dont have prototype footage yet but safe to say i’m back on my “gotta make a small platformer and publish it” grindset
the hardest part is convincing myself the game idea i have is actually FUN interestingly enough.
i love the designs and all but i want other people to enjoy the gameplay, too

living with someone with an alcohol problem is really fucking hard and if i had a nickel for everytime i’ve had to do it i’d have two nickels
hard to live with someone who cant even admit their own faults and has to project on everyone else
so im moving out for a clearer headspace

need to remind myself to eat more nutritionally complete meals
stopped working on Razzomania mainly because i got tired of brute forcing creativity through hunger-induced migraines & i would get super critical of the artwork while working on it
i’m glad i got 30-ish pages done before then though

you know social media isn’t really your thing when liking and tagging posts feels taboo
i dont know how i got to this point but it sucks because everyone makes cool stuff and i forget to express that :(

part of my problem in trying to make a platformer game is trying to reinvent the wheel.
in this case, the wheel is mario, where no matter what i do i can never get a running speed mechanic to work in a way that feels satisfactory when coupled with a camera system
might just be skill issue though

tilesets in GMS 2 are awesome
except for the times i try using it for collision, in which case it gets relegated to JUST tiling duty while i use collider objects to make the actual bounds…
but as far as visual tiles go it’s an amazing tool and keeps total object count down

i wanna use my physical retro game hardware to stream longplays of video games but i have neither the audience, the drive, or a solid idea of how to make those streams fun
and that’s mostly because i dont want to record the game and commentary separately, its funnier when its live in my opinion

i love the idea of games like Big Walk but i never have the free time to play them nevermind the fact i don’t even have the friend group assembled either
i need to go be in more social spaces methinks

i want to completely remake Gelcat Petting Sim but the things in the way of that are:
a.) the integer limit & not having a workaround system to store values higher than 2 billion
b.) wanting some sort of unique gimmick in how you play the game
but the prototype looks cool at least,,,,

as a Guy Who Plays Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, i must say that Metroid Ravenous depicts Samus embracing more of her dark side, the same dark side that is “echoed” and represented by Dark Samus.
it’s literally a Metroid (Prime) in the shape of a hungry Samus feeding on energy (in the form of Phazon,,,)

the steam frame looks like a great way to upgrade from a simple Quest 2

#metroid ravenous is cool and all but when are we gonna actually see another classic Metroid in the main series
hm.
then again i dont like the implications imposed by making Samus equivalent to a Queen Metroid and allowing her to spawn new larva in combat
maybe Metroid Suit is best,,,

i hope the new #kirby game makes more references to the Super Abilities from Return to Dream Land and that this new ability isn’t exclusive to Sword Kirby
other than that, the focus on cyan color coding and “Soul” bosses (Magolor, Fecto Forgo) in the Switch era is
very,
very,
interesting.
