Hi I don't want to put in the effort to build any actual levels and Minecraft is just making so much money that I want so I made a random level generator. Now give me your money, plebes.

I liked Dear Ester but I thought it smelled like fake banana. That's right you can call me the lead singer from the Offspring because that's a goddamn chemistry joke.

"retro" is the worst description because most old games are garbage by today's standards and it's used almost exclusively by washed-up developers trying to cash in on that one hit they had 20 years ago or kids who think that they can hide their inability to make graphics or music behind lovely pixels and chiptunes.

You're not a true 90s kid if you don't buy lovely, pixelated platformers at outrageous prices for nostalgia while chomping on expired Dunkaroos snacks, sipping Squeeze-its and using a Care Bear to mop up your tears.

I use an NES controller to play all my Wii U games. It doesn't have enough buttons or motions controls, so I had to create a device to filter the input through my piece of the Aggro-Crag. Unfortunately, the power from this arcane crystal is beginning to seep into my brain, and I am growing Donkey Kong hair and involuntarily yelling out Link's grunt noises. Gak is pouring from my ceiling and my Ninja Turtles figures have mutated into actual Ninja Turtles. Please send help.

I unironically love pixel art as a medium so I get really mad at hideous blocky poo poo with no basic color theory trying to skate on retro nostalgia like this and this and this and even this. Wow, you made your particle effects cubes, you're just like the guys who made Mega Man 2! Real pixel art back in the day tried really hard to push the envelope of the systems they were on, and had genuinely talented artists trying to make the most out of a super limited medium, and it resulted in some pretty darn enduring imagery. Even the low budget, IP tie-in and shovelware games, excluding really lovely early PC games, usually had more effort and craft put into their art than the poo poo that some "retro" games try to get away with. It really burns me up because that crap gives the medium a bad name, and while modern 2D game art has come a long way, it's still totally valid to use pixel art to do something with a classic aesthetic or save money for smaller studios. You just need to do it right.

Tim Schaefer: "For our next game, we looked to Bubsy 3-D, because that's the only platformer with worse controls than Psychonauts."

i'm beginning to think tim schafer just made a couple fluke good games during some enlightened state of mind, and then he sorta fell into a rut after Grim Fandango and Psychonauts and never quite found his footing again

if i won the lottery i would probably spend about half my winnings pouring funding into game sequels, like Psychonauts 2. i want more moments in games like the nightmare in Sasha's happy disco party mind world. things that make your brain hungry for more information about what the gently caress is going on

They call it Broken Age because it's Broken and we'll have Aged a lot by the time it comes out

FactsAreUseless posted:Tim Schaefer used to be the only guy doing what he was doing, albeit with mixed execution. Now tons of people are playing with unusual visuals, quirky characters, self-aware plots, pop culture references, etc. i'm trying to remember if psychonauts had a single actual meme or pop culture reference in it, i can't really think of any which is hard to imagine compared to modern games where a girl can walk up to a TV and watch Spirits Within and talk about it being the CGI masterpiece of the 21st century

This pixel art RPG has all of its dungeons and monsters procedurally generated!! The pixels assemble into a random blob and are assigned random stat blocks, and the terrain is assembled randomly. Maybe this dungeon has a tree in it, or a treasure chest next to a lake, it's a new experience every time. Sometimes it may just have doors that open to brick walls, but that's part of the fun, haha. One of the random NPCs won't attack you... because he took an arrow in the knee! That one was Tim's idea. So far you can't level up or purchase any equipment or gain achievements, but we are confident that will be our next phase of development. Please visit Kickstarter for more info.

Our team consists of me, Tim, and Sherry, who drew the art for the opening. We are inspired by the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series, Earthbound, and films based on Bret Easton Ellis novels. I'm putting my English degree to good use by creating the game experience, Tim is our computer guy. You can read Sherry's blog about fashion in Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes at the link under her name, once our page is done being under construction.
