The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — May 25 Without going TMI, I've had a very hard few years on a personal level. I live a very privilidged life so I don't like to complain. I just throw myself into constantly working as stopping to think too much is not always healthy for me. But I have so much motivation for creating fun, positive, creative projects that entertain others and make people happy, and I have so much fun working on them, its much healthier I obsess on that than anything else - I don't drink, smoke, take drugs etc. I think "working hard" isn't the worst vice to have. Kerbal Space Program 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Feb. 24 (early access)

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged (Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Oct. 19 If its not clear by this point and you haven't seen me mention it elsewhere, I'm autistic, so sometimes a little niggling thing that other people might be able to ignore will ruin an experience for me. I'm aware I might seem a little nuts to most people but there's plenty of other people who feel the same or similarly. AEW Fight Forever (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — June 29 My own game engine mostly supports side scrolling and top down style games, but I've implemented sprite scaling and rotation, mode 7 style effects, and Saturn "quad polygon" style drawing of 2d sprites in 3d space... I've considered building some kind of sprite scaling outrun style game with it, or maybe just adding a "Panorama Cotton" style broom section for Hazel in our game, and also either a 3d dungeon crawling or even Doom style "2d-3d" first person mode. These are all genres and games I loved as a kid so I'm sure at some point I'll want to recreate those things in my own work 😀 You can follow progress on the channel. Here's footage of the 8bit platform games so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUTkCp485BA

Urbosa - Lupita Nyong'o

Magic_Salmon_Pro Haha I'm also producing 8 movies and 1 tv show (look up "upcoming" on IMDb if you are interested!) plus a comic book series and producing a podcast, and I act in other people's movies too. I basically never stop working but its all on fun creative stuff - I don't really have much time when I relax and do hobbies because my hobbies are my work! 🥰. I'm autsitic and probably undiagnosed ADHD so I like to have multiple highly detailled projects all on at once and switch between them constantly. Of course, I do watch movies and play games to relax, but nowhere near as much as most people, I'm usually working on my own projects instead. This is why the Switch is good for me, as when I'm travelling to different countries for meetings/filming etc I can chill and play something when on the fight or waiting for a train etc.

Magic_Salmon_Pro Haha yeah I know it sounds like a lot, but as far as the movies and tv shows go, of course theres many people working on them. I am usually one of several producers making them happen, and even in the ones that I'm writing and directing myself theres plenty of people helping out too, I juggle many projects but its manageable as long as I stay on top of things and don't obsess on one and let the others stagnate. MLB The Show 23 (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — March 28Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Nov. 9 Persona 5 Tactica (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Nov. 17 Disney Speedstorm (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — April 18 (early access) The Timeless Adventures of Hazel Witch" (coming out in maybe 18 monthsish) My biggest project, about a little girl witch and her friendly pet bat Chirp. When you are in indoor areas (many castles, her Hogwarts style school, villages with houses etc) its a metroidvania similar to "Symphony of the Night" with full rpg style upgrades, weapon and magic system etc, and with Dizzy/Resident Evil style invetory puzzles, but in outside areas its more like a Sonic style platformer, or a Cotton style shmup when she's on her broom. Its also fully voice acted with a story, similar to Freedom Planet. We have big plans for Hazel, hopefully many games in the series (ala the Dizzy games), merch including plushies, comics and either an animated series or movie - my "day job" is I'm a movie & TV producer. The Expanse: A Telltale Series (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — July 27

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Aug. 26 WrestleQuest (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Aug. 22 Once again, the Master Sword's new state has already been shown on a few occasions, but we've not really had descriptions like this until now. Still, the mystery remains as to what exactly is going on with it and Link, so we'll just have to wait until 12th May to see how it all unfolds. Magic_Salmon_Pro Yeah my own games I'm trying to fit a specific timeperiod/style (closer to high end 16bit or 2d 32bit games, NeoGeo / Saturn style) and I've worked very hard to get the aethetics and feel as authentic as possible, but again making it 16x9 and having some QOL improvements that don't spoil the effect - Sonic Mania was my inspiration as far as how to retain that 16bit style but in a modern way.

Again, I really thought your game looks cool and I'll be keeping an eye out for it. Definitely knew 100% what you were going for when I saw it and you've nailed the style The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Aug. 18 Ristar24 Thanks so much! Yes I played Alex Kidd mostly with the old graphics too, and I can definitely see myself doing that with the new Tomb Raider collection, the chunky polys look nice in HD.
