"the new OoT remake trailer looks awful! it totally lost all the original charm" yeah. never seen Nintendo do a Zelda remake dirty like that before, lol #zelda #gaming #oot

link's awakening remake was way worse than this ocarina of time remake

procedural? you mean written in realtime by the program, or generated like chiptune and sample based music back in the day?

⚠️Sound warning ⚠️ I was able to implement an audio streaming buffer for game, including a simple wave display. I’m messing with the pitch with keyboard keys. My goal for this game is to have procedural audio instead of playing prerecorded music or sound effects #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #wip

i think another good example is the CRT filter options on rereleases of retro games. it's an option the player can pick, rather than forcing one or the other.

Scotty Rich @scootyin2d.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

just because something's intentional doesn't mean it can't be a wrong choice. i get why they did it, but for me, retro game accuracy < getting lost. which is why i think it would have been cool as an option. so the player could choose what's best for them

the trick Jesse Schell talks about is switching between them. turning it into a series of interchangeable objective observations, rather than some non-existent universal truth.

Scotty Rich @scootyin2d.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

for example, you could say through a lens of a purist, you want games to be as close to the original experience as possible. so don't widen the screens ever with remakes. but from an angle of improving the intended core experience, you could definitely determine Sonic 2 NEEDS a wider screen.

Scotty Rich @scootyin2d.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

criticism of games is incredibly tricky. even trickier than other subjective mediums for to the interactive element. i like to use Jesse Schell's concept of "lenses" to judge the design decisions of games.

Scotty Rich @scootyin2d.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

have the same feelings on Link's Awakening. i loved screen warping around koholint. although i don't think i could really accuse either of being badly programmed without seeing the source code. the GameBoy has many harsh limitations, and the devs didn't have the same resources we have today)

Scotty Rich @scootyin2d.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

amen. this is true for everything with gamers specifically tho, there's A LOT of em that have a massive ego problem. i was yelled at for saying a map would have been nice in Mina. it's like cuz they have strong feelings about it, they feel they must be right.. in a subjective medium. it's weird

tbf css was specifically written for ui and ui alone i haven't come across many game engines where the UI system wasn't crap. idk if you ever used it, but unity's gui systems made me have to seek therapy. was BAD, dude 😓

indie games always find a way. if the entire landscape gets destroyed and implodes, indie games will still be created. one way or another.

too early in the game. put a marker on the map, and come back after you unlock the crouch ability

that debug info would still be accessible. it saves the info of each logic "beat" and its index it only runs once per update, after all entities had their updates. otherwise, there would be WAAAAY too many edge cases
