I'm a few hours into this game and most of that has been spent tearing through dozens of minutes-long battles against basic enemies and my hair has been blown back like a dog sticking its head out the window of a moving vehicle throughout each and every single one of them

There's also definitely another conversation here where fairly often, "retro-style" RPGs will only emulate the superficial qualities of the most mechanically shallow classics (ie. DQ, pre-XI FF, SMT), and yet most of the older RPGs I've played in my studies are way more varied and interesting

MOBA Boy (Savage) @bossrush.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I will never say to "never use X mechanic", but if you want to make a game where the fun is in having characters use the cool moves that define them, there are so many ways to solve the problems that MP drought solves without driving the player towards playing the game in a boring but efficient way

MOBA Boy (Savage) @bossrush.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I'm also starting to find it kind of funny that despite (what feels like) most modern JRPGs falling into the trap of tying all your fun and character-defining moves to an extremely limited and easily-depleted MP system, a lot of classics that aren't DQ/SMT/FF circumvent this in fun ways

While I haven't played much of Pillars of Eternity, I always thought its Endurance system (a separate, larger HP pool that refills your smaller, in-combat HP pool between fights) was super fascinating as a means of making in-combat healing less mandatory without completely removing attrition

Plaguelands Survivor [ #art | #sketch | #wip | #worldofwarcraft | #warcraft ]
A sketchy work in progress version of a digital illustration. It features an undead oc from World of Warcraft, alone in overgrown stone ruins. She holds a golden thurible fashioned in the visage of a skull, with holy magic emanating from it.

Sanctified [ #art | #sketch | #ocsky | #worldofwarcraft | #warcraft ]
A sketchy, loose illustration of an Undead OC from World of Warcraft. Her skull is exposed, as well as her finger bones and peeks of bone at her shoulders and hips. She's wearing a grey veil, her eyes shining through the fabric. The rather muted palette of her outfit is joining by golden accessories, and a large, bright libram at her side.

the load bearing anime girls residing in my brain currently
an assortment of small doodles of characters, each from a different anime. The top left is Anthy Himemiya and Utena Tenjou, from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Utena is looking away, while Anthy is smiling knowingly at the viewer. The top right is Maomao, from Apothecary Diaries. She has a bored expression on her face. Bottom left is Falin from Dungeon Meshi, squinting due to bad eyesight but smiling pleasantly. The bottom right is Fatima, from Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia. She has a plain but distant look in her eye.

Re-doing this post since it didn't get traction but I'm still doing commissions! Might be slow due to stamina being weird, who knows! 1/3 ko-fi.com/minidan/comm... #art #commissions #chibicommissions

Also doesn't help that the game seems to want to be all about high levels of coordination between a larger party, but toggling linearly between party members in real time is disorienting and the CPU is very bad at controlling whoever you've let go of the reins of.

Picked up Xenoblade Chronicles 3 after dropping it shortly after launch (got past the second red guy boss fight) and now that I've caught back up, hoo boy. This game is such an anomaly - a layer cake of theoretically interesting systems where each of them is optimized in its awkwardness.

Oh so you're telling me they're letting the Metroid Dread guys make another 2D Metroid game that takes place chronologically after that game's big status quo shift and also they are just adding as much cool shit as possible into it? And I have to wait until 2027 for it??

rare linework wip instead of sketch [ #wip | #commission | #art | #worldofwarcraft | #warcraft ]
A work in progress screenshot of a commission in the linework stage. It depicts two World of Warcraft characters, a large orc man and a half elf woman. The man sits on a throne with a large sword balanced on the ground, while the woman stands in front of him with a hammer in her hand. They're both looking at the camera with moderately neutral expressions.

Had a dream last night that I was biking back to my house and the road to get there was closed off for some event, with what I can best describe as the K-9 equivalent of a chocobo standing in the middle of the street but no clear signage as to what you were supposed to do about it.

A mok'nathal (half orc, half ogre) woman is standing with her hands on her hips, her left arm (screen right) is a rocky prosthetic.

Something I find really valuable about this ordeal as a game dev is that I'll start my 20th attempt at a Court run, the past ~10 of which have featured a Ravager path Hellion because she is good at shutting down evasion (which I discovered while trying to make her work as one of the extra heroes)

Supervising toddlers is great because like 90% of the time they'll be rattling off factoids and explanations in their inscrutable toddler creole, but then they'll drop a perfectly enunciated 3-syllable word in a normal human accent like Toby Fox saying 東方 PROJECT

And while the quality of its individual parts is important, I'd say that Look Outside's biggest secret weapon is the subtle draw of its structure - a blend of systems and loops that leads you forward one step at a time while you're playing, and burrows into the back of your mind when you're not.
