my wife is charging the salt

just playing RE4 on the GameCube for the first time. it's unbelievable that people don't talk about how much Miyazaki ripped this game so far I have seen: - looping areas that continuously go back to hub save points - level design is loads of wooden broken huts and bridges connected by ladders over swamps with boulders and so on - a section where catapults fire giant fireballs at you.. in a castle.. and you have to stop between walls and run between them and kill the person operating them.... - all the levels are like swamps, lakes, castle, churches everywhere that loop back as hubs with multiple entrances - a propensity to troll the player (like "shoot this fish and a giant fish will come out and eat you") - story is backed by notes and inventory examinations - fodder enemies take many hits and attack in groups in cramped corridors - the game is heavily about limited resource management like heals and ammo, with weapon upgrades at points - the basic healing items are even coloured grass like demons souls - the enemies are all zombies, dogs, eldritch horrors and cultists - the boss battles are probably the largest departure but still, each one has a distinct arena, often environmental elements, multiple stages, weaknesses - puzzles are very similar like, climb here to throw a lever that opens up a passage on this side - item collection is very similar, there's lots of flashing blinking things everywhere you can collect, you roomba around an area finding non-obvious rooms to loot a lot of this you can say is true about any game but it's the amalgamation of everything together. it's basically dark souls except a third person shooter instead of a third person frame data melee game, and with more overt story/cutscenes. it's actually unbelievable, the more I play I'm like "surely this can't get MORE dark souls? whoops, wrong again"

I hate tower defense games so I decided to make a tower ATTACK GAME #LDJAM

Ludum Dare isn't dead. We're gonna keep doing it anyway

dirrty is maybe the most underrated pop song of the era. like there must be at least 15 banger hooks in there. "if you ain't dirrty.. YOU AIN'T HERE TO PAAAAR-TYYYYY". like that song should be quoted every day. banger too
