I know that’s a direct quote from the developer, but I disagree that is what actually happened.
The Animal Well journey began in two phases, Basso says: a quick stab at a Metroidvania-styled prototype in 2012, and a bespoke engine project that he took more seriously, which he began coding alone in 2014 during his day job’s off hours.
It was 2017, and some of the design ideas from his 2012 Metroidvania lark had continued pulling on him, so Basso “wrote off” his 3D engine as “a learning experience” and started anew with 2D search action as a priority.
It seems clear to me the prototype did more heavy lifting than he’s giving credit. He clearly had an established vision beginning with the prototype. He spent three years thinking 3D was the best way to achieve that goal, but that goal was clearly based on the prototype. At some point it was clear that 3D was drifting away from the core, so the switch to 2D and a renewed focus was the answer.
It’s also clear that they had a distinct art style in mind from the start.
For his new game, he wanted pixels to scale perfectly to a variety of common screen resolutions, along with visual effects that meshed well with his integer-scaled pixel art.
And that existing engines couldn’t meet that distinct art style.
That home-brew engine is what gives the game its unique look and can allow for unique game elements, but that initial prototype was clearly the guide.
Thank God for the school lunch menu. I was planning to have spaghetti this week and it looks like any day of the week should be fine.
Homer, his daughters and gambling on football. Best to start early with Maggie.
12 big ones and free grub to boot. Correct!
Debian Testing. It isn’t “recommended” but it works fine.
Obviously if you want AUR you need an Arch variant, in which case just pick Arch.
Edit: I needed the why, it’s up to date enough for me and I know apt well.
Scarlett could be in, and I mean this literally, any film she wants to be in. Why would she pick the 7th film in the franchise? Obviously it’s easy money, so I guess that’s the answer, but it’s such a weird choice.
Dinosaurs are cool, so I guess.
C*rrect!
No problem.
Correct!
So it was the dog that buried our stuff.
Well, I’ll be damned.
And that’s the episode! Correct!
That’s the joke!
Sadly no, Wiggum has little to do with this episode. This is just a random cutaway.
You’ve got most of it, just a little out of order.
When Homer “invents” the extra chair legs, and is applauded by the family for it, he then takes a moment and talks to his picture of Thomas Edison. He then notices that the idea for the chair legs came from his picture of Thomas Edison.
Lisa points out that it isn’t a recorded invention by Edison. So Homer and Bart set out, with the electric hammer, to the Edison museum to destroy the invention so Homer can claim it.
While exploring the museum, just before destroying the chair, Homer notices a chart/diagram similar to the one he setup in his invention workshop. While Homer was trying to catch up with Edison, he realizes Edison was trying to catch up with Da Vinci. Realizing that he and Edison are the same he decides not destroy the chair. At the same time someone checks in on the restricted part of the museum they were in and Homer leaves the hammer behind on accident.
A news report the next day highlights both the chair legs invention and the hammer invention. The news report goes on to say how successful the devices are and the money they will make.
I think that’s from the episode where Homer replaces Smithers. Unfortunately that isn’t this episode.
Hold it right there Dr. Foot!
You’re correct!
That’s exactly what I thought. It would have been nice to have some sort of connective overall plot, but it was still good.
Damn. I assumed you could just pay to win. I’m pretty sure white goes first.
Naw, Moe is just reminiscing about his time on TV… Or film.
Correct!
