“Allowing those without the skills to create art” is a false statement, it’s more like “allowing those without the skills to ask a machine to simulate art on behalf of them”.

Or keep using it, but you'll need to pay X coins per N experience points gained.

Not much visuals to show lately as I've been busy scripting battles of different tiers of enemies and bosses. Here's a relaxing BGM for the work www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQGm...

Speaking of dungeon design, I'll toot my own horn a bit and sahre this article I wrote back in 2020: felipepepe.medium.com/what-makes-a... The pitch is that while TTRPG dungeons are "system-agnostic" and have established design principles, in CRPGs they're fundamentally tied to each game's "verbs".

You walk pixel by pixel but can only stop by tiles if that makes sense? The final maps will have optimised widths and turns. This is a very early version :)

and then they need to cover the puke by digging sand.

Places may be the most absorbant surface? Cats think: so that you don't need to clean them as the "soil" has absorb the puke...

naturally I’ll need to try it to see. Just a first-impression thought.

Yes, only regarding to BotW/TotK. I find the original graphics (despite frame drops) matches their art style better. While in the enhanced version it almost feels like filming low poly in real life if that makes sense. I feel that for higher res and 60fps+, the art style needs to match that too

Am I the only one who prefers the Switch 1 OG BoTW graphics?

Is it possible to purchase the SNES pixel book first without having it dispatched yet, and then combine the shipping with this JRPG book on a later date?
