Love low poly pigeon

This is a really great piece that kind of digs at the heart of why I love Rebirth so much. There's an argument that there's an intetionality behind its "bloat." A sense of whimsy and illustration that otherwise wouldn't be there.

Minigames are littered throughout the world of FFVII Rebirth, they create a gestalt of storytelling throughout its world, @yourkyotowife.bsky.social wrote a fantastic piece for us about it.

Enjoy!

Yeah, luckily (?) it was a new laptop lol

Great piece from Malindy here examining the enormous collection of minigames in FFVII Rebirth, and how these build up a picture of a Rebirth's world beyond the main storyline and combat-focused gameplay. Have a read!

I’ve added to ability to choose colors for buildings in my upcoming cozy building game, Island Architect.

You also get railings now when building terraces or balconies.

The Narrative Design Implications of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s Many Diversions Rebirth’s minigames are fascinating in their ability to breathe life into the world - even if this comes at a slight cost.

In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, minigames give space to a variety of stories that would otherwise not be told through the main storyline, making the game's world feel lived-in.

Yeah reported but nothing will happen for sure, my dads car got nicked and even then we had to steal it back ourselves 😂

Proper boring week just sorting through everything. I honestly would have paid them a lot of money just to have my shit back

There are funny parts to the story I’ll tell another time, am just tired now

Had my laptop and other stuff robbed on Monday and it’s taken me a full week just to recalibrate, reinstalling software, locking down accounts etc. what a pain 😮‍💨 I’m alright otherwise but it’s fatiguing trying to get back into a routine again

often have i yarned about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and today i yarn again, for did you know: as you climb and roll around, dirt builds up on the prince's lovely pants, and if you stand idly he eventually brushes it off

they bothered to have each bit of dirt remove at the right time. gods

Experimenting with the idea of running save files on the title screen for very smooth game-loading ...

Yaaay, my Eteo piece ist here!🥹
Please tell me if this is anything because I don't remember it lmao

I've been working on a tool for my godot game to create waterfalls based on the collision of the terrain, still have a lot of refinement to do, + tuning features and additional effects (like base splashes) I'm planning to add to the tool, but I'm already pretty happy with the results its producing!

A really enjoyable piece on a hidden minigame you might not know exists in the game Her Story

Skeuomorphs and the Uncanny in Her Story’s Mirror Game How a minigame within Her Story plays with ideas of reflections, mirrors, and the uncanny.

Found within Her Story, Mirror Game is an unassuming minigame that plays with ideas of doubling and the uncanny - echoing motifs found within the wider game narrative.
