Just hit me that we're at the point where b-movie thrillers will now need a scene where the protagonist runs the picture they just recieved of their partner/loved ones bound and gagged in the villain's lair through a bullshit detector to verify it's not a fake before heading off on a rampage

Here's some Music from the unreleased, and lost, 'Jest' game for the N64. Found today on an old backup CD by the original author/composer, Paul Tonge. He has very kindly allowed me to share his work here, for the first time. This is titled Hell - I believe this was one of the levels in the game.

NES Wizards and Warriors was originally titled 'The Tale'. I took this screengrab from an early build of the game from Paul Proctor's original development disk which I was preserving.

Parish argues that the real boss of smb1 is all of world 8 Honestly it should reflect the game: Zelda is a puzzle action it needs puzzle action bosses

But a boss fight isn't intrinsically a test, or a pure test of skill, or anything really. All a boss fight is, at its core, is a transition. An end of a chapter, a change of pace, w/e. The classic boss of Bowser in SMB1 isn't a huge challenge, but simply serves as a capstone, like a greater flagpole

But it's very limiting. It feels like there is pressure for every boss fight to be A Thing, as if the boss fight is some kind of masochism prize. and it's not even that they're too hard, but in an attempt to 'test your game knowledge', they're often becoming rather rigid.

To hit another modern game dev topic (but in a different thread cause this isn't a 3d/2d thing).. I really feel like we've fucked up the perception of Bosses. It's not that modern bosses are bad, but we're stuck with the 'test of what you learned' gitgud style boss. And tbf we're good at making them

IMDB trivia for Bobcat Goldtwaith's found footage bigfoot movie, "Willow Creek": "It costs four grand for a raccoon in Los Angeles, but Goldthwait's daughter was able to secure a deal by using a rescue. He also pet it when the handler wasn't looking."

no one knows this, but knuckle jet is a different genre covert standalone sequel to world to the west,made as a sort of attempt at 'ok, what can you do with the 2d zelda formula that feels fresh' . looking back at it it, it actually pioneered a few things that the zelda series later embraced

Kondo on where he usually begins soundtracks, and his first piece for Mario, 1991. Source: Shmuplations #SuperMarioBrosQuote #KondoQuote shmuplations.com/supermariowo...
PEOPLE:
- Koji Kondo, age 29. Composer for Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.

QUOTE: 
Kondo: I first wait for the game concept and image to be decided on, and for some actual in-game screenshots to be finished. I then start thinking about the music based on that. Normally, I try to write the main theme of the game first. 

With Super Mario Bros., though, I had a really hard time finding that theme, and the first thing I finished was actually the water level theme. I felt a waltz would be the right sound for an underwater level. That idea came to me in a flash of inspiration, but that’s an exception for me.

One thing about the production of the knuckle jet tracks that feature vocals: i've always been of the opinion that as long as the general point gets across, the muddier the better, because what you can't get a grip on is catchier than a clean cut package

I would have loved to make a metroid game for 3 reasons: 1#, i have some good ideas for innovative mechanics that would work within the series, #2, jørn would have nailed the vibe of overall metroid music and would have given them original themes to recycle for the next 20+ years

The best thing about having the same composers for your games for 16+ years is that you can request a cheeky transformative remix of a track from an earlier game in a new context for worldbuilding purposes and they get it right instinctively because you've shared the journey

I want to give Jørn and Linn (bear&cat) extra credit for making knuckle jet work as well as it did, they really went above and beyond with the soundtrack. It's the biggest soundtrack they've ever done for us, nearly 4 hours in lenght, all made by real live humans

If you're old enough to not be embarrassed for watching media intended for kids and enjoyed the Paddington films, i'd like to recommend the swedish 'bamse' franchise. it's agressively nice and humanist in a similar slightly 'wouldn't it be nice' tongue in cheek, but honest way
