Derek Reese is making games @derekree.se · 24/09/2026Agreed! We have a similar strategy planned, just different dollar amts. The tough part is figuring out how to communicate it concisely. Players who buy in early access are buying the promise of future updates, regardless of how inexpensive the entry price point is. Cutting it off breaks a promise. 110

Reposted by Derek Reese is making gamesAlan Au @alanau.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Microsoft is well known for frequent reorgs. They are typically done for two main reasons: 1. physical consolidation/relocation, and 2. as an excuse for layoffs. Xbox was previously made up of "limited integration" studios that made reorgs difficult, so these mergers presage future meddling. 074

Derek Reese is making games @derekree.se · 09/09/2026Nintendo's likely aware how divisive it is to do a remaster in any style other than "just like how you remember it being" Guessing they felt it was more important to achieve the original vision than hit the mark with long time fans. Personally, I love it! 010
Derek Reese is making games @derekree.se · 09/09/2026One thing missing from that video essay is the bit about where the original OoT was Euro Folk Art inspired and they made do with the tech at the time.
