Normalized for Convenience

Recreations of cars from some of Sega’s most iconic 3D racing games. These were made by fans for use in Forza 4.

I’ve been pretty busy posting on Twitter, so here’s a compilation of all the stuff I did this month on Poppin & Jupa: Pocket Adventure. I’m very glad I was able to get free time this summer for it, hopefully I can put a demo out by October.

A lot of focus has been given on managing health. PnJ can take damage of course, but the partner is able to revive them, and trading health by hugging. Once both are dead, that’s game over, and they’ll have to restart from the current area or quit to load last save.

The experience system has been implemented, once they earn enough points an extra heart is added in. The animations are coming out cute.

Pausing and menus will take a while, but mock ups have been made to figure out the approach in the future.

Pretty big post, hope this wasn’t too much? Let me know if monthly updates are ok, since it’s better when I get to slower months.

Probably none.

Demonic discounts at unsafe levels.

Wallet lockdown in effect.

For real though, if you have the means and you’re still on the fence about buying DOOM 2016 or not, even after we’re very close to the first anniversary of its release…I legitimately don’t know what could be wrong with you.

Don’t mess with the MP or SnapMap if you want (you might want to give SnapMap a try though), but seriously, give the single player mode a chance. Remember that you can also try the first level of the game for free!

Having to reload constantly when you’re being swarmed by enemies all the time is counter to the old school fps design philosophy.

Weapons are incredibly unsatisfying to shoot with little to no feedback. One of the most pathetic shotguns I’ve ever fired in a video game, which is just criminal and deal-breaker in of itself.

Secondary weapons you pickup run out of ammo way too fast so you barely have any time to enjoy them.

Nothing is explained. The game doesn’t tell you what upgrades you’re buying from the store or for your weapon. Game has no world-building or personality really outside of the pseudo 90s FPS theme.

Fall damage is bullshit and way too punishing in a game that tries to encourage mobility and also gives you health packs sparingly.

Enemies make a straight bee-line towards you so you don’t really do a whole lot of strafing. Game should have been called “Backpedal”.
