just a quick reminder that i am very good at a lot of stuff, not just music! i was a web developer for over a decade, i'm a generalist programmer (i'll learn whatever you point me at), and you can see a lot of the stuff i've made in my spare time over at skye.computer :)

reposts appreciated!

Found out pausing in GameMaker Studio is waaaaaaay faster using an image buffer to capture what's on screen at that moment rather than a saving a screenshot.

That was the feeling I was getting from VR initially, until Labo came out.

Yet another chance for an Ocarina of Time remaster to have a playable Sheik segment for 2-3 hours.

Yes, I am asking too much and will throw my wallet regardless.

I may try it again later without save states, but I think I would only make it to World 6.

Great work by Sunsoft, which in later years became one of my favourite early developers.

Loved the weirdness at times, and the feeling of getting into more and more of a bizarre world, which did remind of Contra towards the end. Boss intros were still some of the best that I remember on NES, and that was a good fakeout on the last boss.

Backtracking in the game was also unexpected. I did have to start drawing some maps in places, but the levels were smartly designed in a way to head back to a previous level right after a boss. While I accidently looped around a level early on, it was recognizable later.

This is a game I did not get very far at all as a kid, to the point where I donโ€™t remember if I even found out about the vehicle upgrades. My impression of the game was that the top-down dungeons on foot were the best part but I grew to like the vehicle upgrades in this one.

Tried seeing how fast I could go with my watch and at 60km/h, I thought it might be faster. Great day with good visibility and short lift lines. No major falls.

Some movement felt slow at times, so I overrode it with lerps. Mostly it's been a good learning experience so far and to think about how to build enemies better in the future with states and less if's.

Development is taking longer than I thought, so I have more respect for games with bosses now.

Part of it may that it's the first boss, and while I can reuse some parts like jumping and driving to a point, there is a lot that conflicts with inherited code.
