3 days until I get my anti-depressant refill again (Abilify).

How is everyone holding up?
I'm kinda peaceful for the first stretch in months, but I'm off-and-on fighting a weird guilty feeling like I shouldn't be peaceful, I should be fighting harder to proceed with, like, life..but I think that's more the anxiety talking.

There will definitely be summer games, but if there's anything in March or April I expect it to be a port, DLC, e-shop, or third party. Anything else would have an insanely short marketing cycle. I just don't think it's realistic. We would have heard about it by now.
Yeah, that's exactly why I feel we're pretty close to another Direct right now.

But you're right about that game(s) being smaller in scale. As I said, I expect another Mario vs DK game, possibly with that new design of DK.

Mario vs DK would probably be an e-shop game, which fits my criteria. Kinda insane that we haven't gotten one on Switch yet.
 
I hate to say "it depends"

But it depends

If you like the idea of just running around large areas really fucken fast, doing weird platforming challenges, watching melodrama play out with anthropomorphic characters, and can excuse some jank and polish issues to get you there, then yes.

If you already did like Sonic, and were getting tired of the boost formula games, and want to try something that's more of a fully-realized Sonic Adventure 1, then yes.

But if you aren't already much into Sonic or don't have a connection with the older games and you just wanna see what the fuss is about, or if you want a tight and polished experience over an experimental proof of concept... maybe look around to see if it's still deeply on sale somewhere (I got mine for $29usd on Amazon). Or maybe try secondhand.
see the thing is I kinda really don’t like sonic most of the time

but it seems so baffling that I might actually finally enjoy it
 
Oh shit it's the last day of this ST

Has everybody had a comfy time for the most part?

Who's doing the December ST?
In honor of the thread closing and December starting up, it’s snowing at my house. Very comfy with the Christmas lights, music, and eggnog latte.

If baffling=enjoy for you then definitely try it 🤣

It's actually so different from what Sonic has been for the past.. twenty years or so (fuck) that you not liking Sonic so far might not even factor in.
 
After a month and a half, medication withdrawal finally seems to be diminishing.
At its worst I couldn't even enjoy gaming, as watching busy or moving images made me feel uncomfortable, so it's nice to be able to take joy in my favourite hobby again!
It's been a challenging year in general, so I'm glad to have had plenty of cool games to play, and a positive and cosy online space here with you fine humans. :)
 



imagine if Nintendo ever had enough switch stock to do this, steam deck confirmed failure

/s

Anyone else remember when Nintendo had to goose Western interest in Brain Age, and non-traditional games, by giving it away during a GDC presentation?

Damn, the month is already over. I think we had a lot of fun activity in the thread this month, and I hope we can keep that going into the holidays. Onward to December, and to the end of the year! A busy time for my line of work, but hopefully I can get some relaxation in. Hoping the new year will bring us all some good things!

I don’t know if I should start Sonic Frontiers tonight or focus entirely on Scarlet for the time being. I wanna play Sonic but I feel like I should let Pokémon be my only game for a little bit..

Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with starting Sonic and seeing how you feel. If you wanna keep playing that, then you get to go for it. If you'd rather play Pokemon, then you can jump back on that!

I uploaded another track of my OST project for a game that doesn't exist. It's an energetic boss battle!


Thanks to anyone who listens and, as always, feedback is appreciated!

is it terrible that I was like “oh holy shit, hell yeah, let’s go”

and then stopped myself because it meant I would have to watch multiple consecutive minutes of The Game Awards?
Nah this is just sanity

Even if I didn't have a Steam Deck I'd question if this was worth watching TGA for

yes, this is good… no one else watch The Game Awards…. Let ME win a Steam Deck…
 
I gotta say, these sound effects I'm making are actually pretty incredible when they're properly timed in the game. They sound awful and ridiculous when I'm recording them but in the game they're actually pretty charming.

Might have something here.


Also about half of the enemy traits have been implemented, this is way easier than I expected. I just hope it adds enough variety and strategy to combat

You're recording your own sound effects? That sounds like a lot of work haha.

It's not, the hook here is I'm recording them all vocally. Making the noises with my mouth. Some sound extremely cheesy but hey I love cheesy.

This was an early test, the timing and other effects I've added since make it much better:

 
Today the unthinkable happened

we got acknowledgement of Pokémon violag and scarlag from Ninty

AND we got a promise of significant free post launch support for Sonic Frontiers

I am one happy dude fami
 


Nintendo doesn't often say things like that last bit, do they..?

Guess I should hold off a day to make sure my Elite Four experience goes smoothly. I only have the final titan and team star base left. Good to see them address the performance issues. They don’t bother me in the fields, but the towns need help.

I'm now really wondering how those others monsters you shared like that carrot or that bear golem thing will sound lol.

You and me both, friend.

I've got some of them down though, I can make a lot of very odd noises.
