Swimming through your feeds: One of my fave oddball PS1 controllers: The Interact Baracuda. N64 style analog sticks, hardware level button remapping, and a mode to use them even for games that don't have stick support. Cursed looking start and select buttons that look like you need to turn them.

A photo of the bulky beige controller with a wide dpad, dual n64 style thin sticks, and various sliders and what look like dials

It's vibe coded, meaning any issues you run into (there will be many) while playing will never be fixed because they don't know why any of them are there

From what I remember during an old stream I watched, the game is actually pretty boring lol

Made these guys behavior a bit more aggressive, now theyll try to run past you if you trap them in a corner and will also throw a weapon to try to get you to jump so they can run under you. Also added the axe variant, kind of tricky to fight together #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #8bit

Going off the front page reviews atm, it's mainly the stalker enemy, even on positive reviews. Personally I have no opinion since dragon's dogma 2 and castlevania have my attention rn lol

Almost done with the dagger skeleton enemy. Once that’s done adding the versions that use different weapons should be pretty easy. Here’s a clip of me fighting them really badly lol #indiegame #pixelart #8bit #indiedev #gamedev

While there's valid stuff like optimization issues, the mixed reviews on Steam are legit a coin toss on whether people loved or hated it lol

The GenAI epidemic spreading across retro gaming circles exposes something: Making the scenes unfriendly to queer/trans/furries by giving a pass to unpleasant people and bigots in the past has left them without the networks of creators LGBT-friendly communities have access to and self-support with.

You roleplay whenever you play N64, therefore, every game is an RPG

Started programming the dagger throwing skeleton enemy into the game. There’s no hit detection between the player and enemy yet, but the idea is that he walks back and forth until youre in range, then he backs away from you throwing daggers #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Having my housemate who'd already played the game a bunch watch as I awaken the Iron Golem, roll once, then have the Golem step off the little bridge and die without me having seen more than a bit of foot. Can still hear the "WHAT?"

It was originally my favorite (Also my first in the series) but after replaying it uh... I don't hate it but also man is it really grindy. It does have some of my favorite codecs in the game though lol
