[Star Fox] Version 1.2.0 has been released. This update adds new features to battle mode: three new stages, new items, and splitscreen multiplayer. It also makes some adjustments to the campaign. For example, it is now easier to see if you're damaging some bosses.

I re-played through Final Fantasy I (Origins) and broke down the core game loop to understand why it holds up so well. As fun as this was to make, it’s even more fun to trace your way around the game! Full write up here: jlansing.substack.com/p/choose-you... #gamedesign #finalfantasy

A flow chart like breakdown of the core game loop of Final Fantasy 1. We see core states like Battle, Rewards and World map all interconnected.

A screenshot of a crude drawing of Leo punching a training dummy. This is bad temp art on purpose. Below the picture is a text box with some text and a continue arrow.

Text on the bottom of the screen reads: "Leo is training diligently for the Star Spark Tournament."
