Thank you all for your immense support for my animation recently. I'm back to reviving this project now, and it feels great to do so. I haven't shown much of my improvement since Iconoclasts, but not just my animation has improved immensely. Here's another Pepperbee guy: #pepperbee

Friendly reminder to be careful when you open a can of beans because the whole lid can pop off instead of peeling like normal and you may have to go to the hospital like me last night. (I'm okay. cut my finger.)

The gameplay and art look great, and I love the widescreen design solution of a gbc 10:9 window for the game with UI on the sides.

Happy 40th birthday, Metroid! I made this in 2021 while playing Dread. I used to do lowpoly stuff a long time ago, so coming back to the 3D modeling workflow was nice after doing pixel art for so long. #Metroid #lowpoly #b3d

I love when people make their game 4:3 with fun art on the sides. See also some of @locomalito.com's games that have arcade side panels with awesome artwork and 'how to play' instructions.

Yeah I think that's the right call. 4 directions at that sprite size will still be a lot of work. It looks really great by the way!

13/12: some portion of your audience simply will not buy your game if you use it! From a purely business risk, are you REALLY "making" enough productivity by adopting AI tools to offset the guaranteed revenue loss (and free marketing) from opted-out fans? My guess is, no way!

I hold it like the first pic 😎 Had an N64 and was the weird one in my friend group who held it like that, but I wanted access to all the buttons all the time without switching how you hold it for different games/moments. Pressed Z with my right middle-finger, works great 👍
