Nerd fact: When we made Teslagrad 10 years ago, we made sure to introduce the future mother of Teslagrad 2 protagonist Lumina. she's one of the other kids living in the neighbourhood, seen during the ending. (both of them had a bit of a glow up after reaching adulthood, i guess)

phew, colored 81 story panels for teslagrad 2 in 15 hours over the last couple of days, that's just 11 minutes per card

some of the unused designs for the equipment upgrade cycle in teslagrad 2

tiny version of lumina from teslagrad 2

also wanted to put a barely playable and heavily cropped "handheld early 90s handheld" mode into teslagrad 2 as an unlockable, not getting to actually implement this kind of stuff properly is the hardest part of working on an indie budget

Bad picture, but much of the lighting in teslagrad 2's hub area was based on the sundown lighting view from my office window

One of the cool things about the Wii 'The Grudge' game (published by Nintendo in Europe, check out the bizarre stock photo EU box art!), was that a second player could use a controller to trigger jump scares for player 1

( in those days, they'd do design work on graph paper and turn it in to the programmers at SRD (most likely Toshihiko Nakago in the case of Zelda) before getting the tangible results back, because crazy as it sounds, nintendo didn't really have employed programmers in those days)

The original face for Metroid Prime Samus (by Cid Newman), which was a bit too heavily influenced by Cindy Crawford for nintendo's legal department.

This guy from the 1939 'gulliver's travels' animated movie looks kinda familiar...

Proof #6 that #gamedev is a lie: (in Drivers of the Apocalypse's airship interior scene there are no realtime lights at all.)

I like the fact that Pauline isnt even scared of Donkey Kong Jr

Fun Fact: The SNES sound chip aka SPC700 was originally intended to pack stadiums for jazz fusion festivals!

This is one of the best examples of misunderstanding a shot. Look at abyssal difference between these two. In Chung's original animation the scene builds up towards the eye that is setup to function like a venus flytrap. It's insidious, it meets your expectation even though it
