Good Morning !! Im Birthday

good morning !! im birthday

tomorrow for my birthday i am streaming my unfinished "magnum opus" Mari0 level pack from ten years ago, Zeta

and i am going the DISTANCE to show it as close to the original vision as possible. like adding all of the custom music that wasn't supported at the time (40+ tracks!)

i won't have time to build the few unfinished levels that remain but i *am* finishing the big final boss, which was maybe 25% done. to preserve its original vision i'm building it out with modern tools like custom enemies and event scripting – the result will be well worth the effort

i'm doing all of this while trying not to spoil myself on the rest of Zeta's level design, so that my reactions to it after 10 years are genuine... Zeta has this baffling yet strangely compelling design ethos that i want preserved in amber – from a younger me trying to "take level design seriously"

if you enjoyed my stream of my first level pack, New Super Mario World, then you're going to LOVE this

Zeta is a little more mature, a LOT more ambitious, and not a single iota more professional or respectful of the player's time. it's gonna be a riot

i'm a huge proponent of the Like button especially in cases where i don't have the spoons to be social, but when i actually speak my praise out loud people seem to REALLY appreciate that. it makes a huge splash

My birthday is this weekend, and you are cordially invited to a three-part stream party! Join me on April 25th, 27th, and 30th for an all-star lineup of events – see the attached card for details.

hey everyone! i kinda disappeared for a while there, huh. just had one of the longest roller coaster weeks of my life, i'm sure i'll have a lot to say after i've recovered. short version:

we lost another cat

a job i applied for months ago finally got back to me, interview soon

might postpone sunday stream again

just spent the entire weekend playing ttyd remake and oh my god they actually did it. they remade the game with love and respect for the source material, punched it up in tasteful ways and didn't sanitize any part of it. this is my new preferred way to play my childhood favorite game

i might have to do a writeup at some point
