I’ve been trying to wrap up Trails Of Cold Steel III. I think I’m 80 hours in and near the last chapter.

This is what I’m talking about. There’s a pause when you take hits. It reminds me of how Zelda games makes combat feel in the 3D titles.

Combat example

I put about 10 hours into the game. I think the way hits and getting hit feels. It’s been a while but doesn’t the screen pause slightly when it happens?

I know people complain about the difficulty but I was fine with what I experienced in it. I grew up in the 80s playing the original Mega Man games hahaha.

Hollow Knight. I know the new game is coming out tomorrow (?) but I just couldn’t get into the way the game feels. I love Metroidvanias but something about Hollow Knight and it’s gameplay just didn’t make me come back for more.

I’m not sure if it’s new but the text editing and moving the cursor has a magnifier now like iOS. Love it!

I saw a report talking about if there’s a “song of the summer” this year. A lot of people said there isn’t because more than ever we’re siloed to our own music library/playlists.

Personally, I spend a few hours a week actually looking for new artists to listen to. There’s so much music out there just waiting to be discovered.

Danger from Secret of Mana / Seiken Densetsu 2. I love me some boss battle music!

I’ve always dreamt of creating music for video games. Ended up becoming a developer but still dabble with music here and there.
