first draft of the opening of gemstones dlc. I'm pretty happy with it. it eases you into the sickos shit pretty well. I'm never getting away from the ball n chain opening it's perfect. there's a long way to go from here to the end, and this will probably be the last thing i show off till then

Another bit of Ocarina of Time posting because I am obsessed: I noticed Link has a single little feather attached to the side of his cap, and my headcanon is that it is a Roc's Feather that explains his new ability to jump on command.

I feel like Majora's Mask Remake has to be next. Not only do they have the obvious asset flip ability from the standard models/systems, but in the direct+trailer it seems like Market Town NPCs change positions based on time of day meaning the NPC schedule system may already be prepared too.

A new 2D Castlevania and a new 2D Metroid dropping a few months apart, with an Ocarina of Time remake inbetween... my childhood can't stop winning.

idea by octave, this uses the glitch where yoshi running into a very steep slope turns you around

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

As much as a less 1:1 remake of OoT could have been a more interesting direction, I appreciate the finer details and decisions in making familiar locations feel new and rearranged visually. Only thing I am meh on is the voice acting, the art direction is fitting imo. Looking forward to playing it.

rta yoshi infinite air catch feels like the culmination of years of work and practice, at least to me. by the day there are fewer limits left to break through, ceilings left to shatter, and things a tas can do that we can't. where is there to go from here, when the sky is no longer the limit?

This is the new tech I had alluded to. @badflips.bsky.social discovered both the tongue and tongueless methods to do RTA perpetual air catching with no wall. It is incredible, and feels really cool to do. It's extra cool to see in the context of the level she is working on that features it.

@badflips.bsky.social has (once again) discovered an incredible new piece of yoshi fly tech, and while I won't spoil it, I will say the horse is even more majestic an aviator than we previously believed. It's a very cool discovery, and I'm excited for other cape enthusiasts to see it.

Some in the SMW community still operate under the misunderstanding that Yoshi is a dinosaur when Yoshi is in fact a horse. SNES era pixel aesthetics are largely to blame. I am working on rebuilding Obstacle Horses from the ground up with more photo realistic graphics, please enjoy this preview:

losing my mind (posted with permission)

flips: "unrelated it's so funny to me that night mare is clever word play until you remember it makes 0 sense if you don't have the context that yoshi is synonymous with horse for some reason that a group of like 5-10 people made up and ran with as hard as possible"

nix: "I thought about that so much lol, I also like that. With the precedent of yoshi being a horse in cape culture, soon we will propagandize the youths and this antiquated notion of Yoshi as a dinosaur will be eliminated from the discourse once and for all.
We are winning the culture war, one romhack at a time."

flips: "excited for this to go down in history as the greatest win for the cultural marxists since we won the war on christmas"

nix: "War on Christmas was basically a free win. We didn't even need to make a War on Christmas romhack where the final boss is Santa Claus on the crucifix and when you win it says Happy Holidays as he explodes."

the entitlement and shortsightedness of "you released this for free, you have no right calling what I'm doing 'stealing'" from a big streamer who evidently doesn't give a shit about the wishes of people who create the things he wants to profit off of, pathetic stuff as usual

The common Mixtape/Kaizoff defense seems to read like: "We don't need consent to repurpose/redistribute your work, you published it for free." I would urge those making such arguments to consider that they can go fuck themselves. There is also a thing called respect. Opt in gives the artist agency.

One of my favorite parts of Splatoon Raiders has been the gadget sampler dungeons. They made me wish for Splatoon Kaizo lmao. The movement, balloon popping challenges on timers, enemy arenas, the gadgets, ink lines, etc—I can only imagine what beautiful and cursed trials kaizo sickos would build.

On my second play of Mina with a few hard modifiers and I'm really enjoying the NG+ experience so far. Everyone who enjoyed Mina the Hollower, PLEASE play Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. If you like polished GBC Zelda-esque experiences oozing with passion, it is also a must play.

Making stuff is hard, but sometimes people enjoy what you made. That is cool, but what is just as cool, if not cooler, is when -you- enjoy the thing -you- made. Make stuff that you enjoy simply because you enjoy the act of creating and want it to exist. Also, don't use AI. That shit sucks.

i was gonna make this a lot longer and more complex. there was even gonna be a stickyfly and perpetual air catch in the middle of it. but nothing i tried really felt satisfying to pull off. i think the obstacle will look something like this, a lot simpler but still emphasizing what's important
