Oh, I guess I should cross post this.

After a month of hard work on an entry for NESMaker’s Byte Off competition, Pingback is playable.

Coming up with music that was actually listenable was probably my favorite part of the project.

The A E S T H I T I C of Laraan makes if very difficult to tell how far away things are, which is a bad thing for platforming. There’s also very floaty hit detection, like hit boxes are a ways outside of the physical objects; and the camera, which controls like it’s buoyantly moving through jelly, frequently jumps up close to the character which doesn’t let you see what’s in front of you. 

Story wise it’s Noah’s ark… except God’s like “I killed everyone, now bring me shiny things or die trying.”  There’s visual elements of a backstory, but what am I supposed to feel?  My only goal is to get shiny things.  Am I trying to please this menacing god?

 Do I care for revenge?

  Maybe my real motivation is just to find more sweet hover bikes that explode when rocks look at them funny.  Not a lot going on here for a game that performs so frustratingly.

Spent Valentines with my Sweetie, drinking coke and wine, while watching Bound, presented by Homo-cidal at the Metro.  All of my favorite things meshing together, it was more like my birthday or something.  What, Valentines is not supposed to be all about me? 

I wish I had the ability to take my simplistic thoughts and make them engaging like the movie did. source: https://saturdayxiii.tumblr.com/post/182828395039
