  The whirlwind rages on.

  It's stressful, sure, but there's also something fun about running around like your hair is on fire - it makes the days feel a lot more productive

  I'm foregoing the typical weekend digest this week because a) I don't have time, and b) I didn't really do a whole lot on the game this week/ Still, I do have a few things to chat about, so let's make like a gun and bullet.

  Oh, and again, I'd be silly to not link to the Kickstarter at the top of the post! If you like what you see in this topic and want to support me, then please consider sharing or making a pledge.

  Regarding Kickstarter... Early this afternoon I crossed the 30% funded mark, which is a tremendous milestone. Thank you to everyone who has backed the campaign! Your support has given me so much motivation. The Early Bird tier is just about sold out - as of writing this there's only ~15 slots left. Act fast if you want to get the game at the lowest possible price The newly introduced Village Younger tier has slots left as well. If you're interested in a monster of your design being added to the cast of Village Monsters then please take a look I've started posting longer looks at the various systems and features of Village Monsters on Kickstarter. The latest one is on the Mysteries system. They're view-able by anyone - no backing required

  [### Regarding the Game...

  Another Alpha 1 released today. You can grab it right here. Alpha 1.03 brings with it some more bug fixes, but more importantly it's the first demo that includes Linux support! You'll see a separate link on the Downloads page for Linux. I haven't forgotten about you, Mac - it's just a lot harder to get you up and running on Virtual Box Alpha 1.03 also re-implements the ability to swap your gender - a much requested feature Finally, Alpha 1.03 makes it a bit easier to send feedback. It seems some people were having some issues, as my inbox has been full of feedback emails that look like the below. That should hopefully now be fixed :)

  Well, that'll do it for now. Hopefully this coming week is a bit slower, as I'll be able to get more done on the game - including more dev streams!

  I recently did an illustration that I'm also pretty proud of and is also up for sale in my shop. It's actually part of a series that I'm doing as well.

  I came across this video that lists songs that could be anime openings. I thought they all sounded really cool.

  The Big Trail is a great example of how far some filmmakers would go back in the day. Giant sets, oodles of extras, literally dangerous stunts, attention to detail. Griffith, Keaton, and the Korda brothers are other great examples. Then stuff got relatively simplified, formulaic, and safe for a few decades until that going-the-extra-mile style made a comeback in the 80's with stuff like Ran, Fitzcarraldo, Brazil, Dune, and James Cameron.

  I know how much of a pain it is to get people to fill these out, so I made sure to do so. Good luck!

  @Lotias It really is illegal. There's lots of weird Arizona laws that I wanted to incorporate into the playset but not all of them would work.

  I only avoid spoilers for games. And for me, it's Level 2, Effort 3. Except for E3 coverage (which is mostly official stuff for far off games), I barely looked at my usual gaming sites/channels since BotW launched until I beat it this week.

  Surprised Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader hasn't been mentioned.

  In terms of third-party, if you haven't played them on PS2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Bloody Roar: Primal Fury (aka 3) are good.

  If you want a really offbeat game, you may want to check out Cubivore. But be warned that it's very minimalist in all respects.

  And the Game Boy Player is great.

  I would strongly recommend Wind Waker HD (Wii U) over the original. Bigtime graphical and gameplay enhancements (Twilight Princess HD, on the other hand, is barely an upgrade).

  Great story! First year at E3 for me too and I was stoked when I saw Brad and Ben in front of the XSEED booth on day 3. Really made my day :D

  Oops, I changed the blog address and never updated that link, I'll do that now. I'm at gamesbound.wordpress.com nowadays!

  And thanks for the feedback! I get what you mean about the camera stuff, at the college I'm attending I'll have access to better equipment, but right now I'm pretty much stuck at a crappy old camcorder. I'll definitely try and move around and see if I can't find a space that lends itself better to the camera than that pale blue wall.

  Sorry, I wasn't paying attention anymore to this post, since no one reacted in the first two weeks. You can download the game in it's current state from my twitter: www.twitter.com/buenzligames. Right now you can only play singleplayer because the server software is not part of the release, but once we got some players knowing the game (right now the number is basically 1, being me) we can talk multiplayer. So try out the game, let me know what you think and if you like the game we can play some multiplayer.

  Why Dirt 4 has made me excited about procedural generation.

  I've always been interested in procedural generation, and as you say, it's a term that has unfortunately taken on a pretty negative meaning these days

  Now that it's out, how did it turn out? I know nothing about the Dirt series generally
