new YGO RPG? www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH_b... seems like they're adding more cards instead of it being a straight remaster idk how interested i was at first (less keen on tag force) but im interested now there's new cards added. i imagine it's some of the modern support for the GX archetypes

There's zero chance of the version that's adding a jump button is keeping side jumping and backwalking being optimal though, so I don't see how this could be anything other than just an ugly version with less depth to print money off people who don't view games as art.

I'm not entirely opposed to changes however, like as long as there's downsides to dashing, I don't mind "hold roll to dash so you aren't mashing". Roll spam isn't even optimal! ...however...

It's also more fun to jump when it's a contextual "every now and again"! However, because every game needs to play the same now, Zelda now has a jump button. Mark my words they'll add a parry mechanic.

Mario is a platformer. The challenges and level design are centered around using your jumps as a tool. Zelda is not doing this. In Zelda, the tools you navigate the environment with are the items that you accrue. Jumping is not important, as it not a focus of the game.

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The reason why it's important that you jump when walking off the edge vs with a button is that it immediately establishes context for how you are being asked to engage with and navigate the environment - especially in comparison to Mario.

yeah that OoT direct huh Other NPCs and areas they showed look fine, but Link and Kokiri forest are real rough Also immediate crimson flag from opening with "here's our faithful remake: first thing first, here's the new jump button. The game now looks and feels like BOTW!"

something interesting I've noticed in the rise of LLM slop text is I've started caring less about my writing being a bit messy, because it's more clear that it's definitely a person that wrote it and not copy pasted from a chat bot

Happy #screenshotsaturday, y'all. Everyone tells new devs to start learning by cloning games like Pong. My advice: don't stop at Pong. However long you've been at it, recreating games or mechanics you like (or don't like) helps you understand the hows and whys better than just playing.

Been getting into RetroAchievements recently. I've been enjoying it! Especially the little weekly challenges, as they get me to branch out and try a wider variety of games. retroachievements.org/user/Menacin...

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

really enjoying the avatar FG, which is surprising because I normally don't like anime fighters at all not really touched anyone other than Sokka. assumed he'd be a sword char, but he's actually boomerang El Fuerte

It's been 1 year since Y2ROLL released! If I remembered ahead of time, I'd have scheduled a big sale, but oh well I'm still quietly tinkering away on my next project, but I'll try and stop procrastinating on writing up the post mortem, since it's definitely been long enough now

this whole time I thought the Family Guy intro was "violence AND movies and sex on TV", like there was backlash about there being too many movies on TV

I'm learning how to make games on the PlayStation 2! I plan to use the console's limitations and low-poly geometry to make a unique short horror game. For now, here's a few ominous shots with fitting music.

was intended to just be there in case the player doesn't have a pad, but it's the only thing i've used since it was added

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

- new wider, easier track - both tracks selectable from menu after choosing game mode - adjusted speed - manually boosting is disabled lap 1 of time trial - time trial now saves and loads best time Feature complete! Final day of the jam will just be polish and content

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Been really enjoying it as it's very lightweight, doesn't force you to play around how it thinks you want to do things, and there's no GUI editor to trip on I think the "everything is a node that has child/parent relationships" approach of Godot is a bad fit, but I do miss it's built-in 3D maths

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

very close to feature complete for the jam

spin out! while gentle turns decrease speed slightly, particularly harsh turns are punished by the player losing grip, demanding a gentle touch as they fly around the track grip can be regained by continuously driving straight - or even faster by letting go of the accelerator

lisp game jam end of day 2: - new test track - acceleration - trigger area detection - mouse input! given precise analogue inputs are demanded, thought it'd be a good idea to have the game be fully playable with mouse and keyboard #love2d

also for a while I've wondered how I'd be able to still piss players off with the camera in a game that has regular mouse look, and now I have it: forced stretched 4:3

000

MenacingMecha @menacingmecha.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

started playing counterstrike again, trying stretched 4:3, and while it does make the game look a hell of a lot worse, they are just like, bigger targets on the screen to aim at
