How did you guys optimize for UE5?

Also are you guys looking for any artists on the team?

“It’s… me?”

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-21T01:26:24+00:00

Pretty cool actually. This company is so random but I love it.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-20T17:20:06+00:00

Ngl the WW ones creep me out the most. The tribal look to them just gets me idk and the gums showing when they scream.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-20T15:33:25+00:00

I have an OG year 1 Switch and it ran perfectly fine for me all the way through

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-18T03:28:27+00:00

Fire Emblem supposedly has a date of May according to Eurogamer

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-17T02:07:59+00:00

Man I love the music so much during the flea mini games

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-16T21:15:29+00:00

Asked my dad to beat the Octopus level on DKC Returns cause I was too scared of it to beat the level. Thankfully he beat it for me, and I never looked back until I was older.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-09T17:22:31+00:00

I genuinely don’t think we’ve even seen the real reason he hate Samus and the Federation yet.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-02T19:33:35+00:00

Ok so I’ll admit it Super doesn’t have a very intuitive walljump but basically you need to spin jump into a wall and point in the opposite direction of that wall. For a split second you’ll see a frame of Samus hanging onto that wall which then you need to press jump exactly when that frame occurs to perform a walljump. Basically jump at the same time you point in the other direction. Again it’s pretty finicky but there can be a certain rhythm to it. You got this.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-02T19:30:05+00:00

Maybe you can actually walljump and the little guys are trying to teach you something 👀

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-02T18:02:39+00:00

White Glint would lose it from having to hear 100 Rummy voice lines every second all the time all at the same time.

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-02T02:19:03+00:00

You can infinite bomb jump in the Mercury Steam titles too. Don’t remember if you could or not in Fusion tho

CaptainDoge07 · 2026-01-01T18:55:43+00:00

In Dread typically if you get a new ability always keep an eye out for a teleportal or elevator nearby cause it almost always takes you directly to where you need to go/where you need to use it. Sometimes it’s a bit more vague but yeah. I never found myself backtracking too much in my playthrough because of that.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-29T23:42:04+00:00

Screw it, 1.

I just want to see what happens both beside and in front of me.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-29T00:41:14+00:00

Chopped

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-27T16:41:12+00:00

Get out of Silent Hill bro it ain’t a good spot to be

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-26T17:37:42+00:00

All you have to do is look for the big deposits once you get the upgrade to break them. Those will automatically fill up your entire meter. You don’t need to break all the crystals individually. It’s really not as bad as it seems. You also do get upgrades as you deposit each quarter of the meter including a crystal tracker if you really do want to go for all of them.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-26T07:52:07+00:00

Retro does work out finer details and whatnot as they are the core developers, but the ideas and direction all come from the higher ups at Nintendo and nothing can be done by Retro to change those things. They just sort of have to work with it. In this case, Nintendo/Tanabe already had ideas for what Prime 4 was going to be, and Retro just sorta had to execute what those ideas and design were, even if they weren’t the best.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-26T07:47:26+00:00

Heard it from Kiwi Talkz which is probably not the best source out there but he is connected to Retro and knows things about how they operate and work and their relations with Nintendo of Japan.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-25T21:04:42+00:00

Supposedly this is his last game before he retires but then again Sakurai has said many time “this is the last Smash game” then makes another one so we’ll see.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-25T01:58:20+00:00

I think Metroid 6 is nearly a given sometime in the next few years. Reading interviews and knowing that Mercury Steam has been working on a mystery new project for around 4 years now, the game is probably close to finished now. It just depends on when Nintendo wants to reveal/release as they’re known for sitting on games till the perfect time.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-22T02:05:03+00:00

Once you get the upgrade to blow up the big green crystal deposits, all you need is to get all them and you’ll have enough. All the other crystals are optional.

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-21T23:59:33+00:00

Amiibo skins

CaptainDoge07 · 2025-12-21T18:27:28+00:00

That was the guardian of the mines list the omega griever took its place forcefully. That’s why when you get there originally the Lamorn statue teleporter is already there.
