The News Grandmaster 4000

The sound puzzle twist is when it plays two tone sequences concurrently, but only one of them is correct, and it’s the opposite of the one in the pitch you’re conditioned to expect and that’s one of the only one or two puzzles in the whole game I caved in on a walkthrough for and I’m really glad I did.

I have no memory of any sound puzzles in the witness (by the way, I’m not sure why we’re posting in the news thread and not the best-titled thread of all time) which leads me to believe I encountered them, didn’t get them, wandered off, and never thought about them again

disappointed to discover that sex creep and labour exploiter matt conn was hired by the toejam and earl team

holy shit what the fuck? i was already wary on the game after the whole “let’s defend the ceo of activision on our brand twitter account” but this is significantly worse.

toejam is a wiener

earl is a dufus

it owns how there are trans people who are more or less blacklisted for life from working in games over incredibly petty social media bullshit, but a cis dude can be like “yeah, so uh, i tried to rape a couple people in a hotel room once” and people will knock down your door with job offers.

strong Kenta Cho vibes, has he put out anything substantial lately?

Like a new flash/html/exe every month for the past 15 years.

Not what I meant by “substantial” but certainly better than nothing. I don’t mean to sound snippy but I thought there was some small chance I had missed a game released on switch or something like that.

Yeah I am hopping I can trick someone into looking into 10 years of little projects to find the best stuff.

I occasionally go through these from time to time:

Each one is a little nugget of an interesting game idea just waiting for someone to steal and develop into a larger concept. Also, the source code is right there for you to look at; just amazed at the generosity.

It’s already on the Vita, if you got a physical copy :sunglasses:

Not gonna lie, I feel pretty uncomfortable with any game non ironically about ‘taming the west’ by murdering things and building houses.
