Happy to announce that I had the pleasure of doing some art in this game 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Alex for having me be a part of New Meat!
Like said in the post, my contributions are major spoilers at this time 🤫
Everyone, it's finally time.
💀THE REDACTED UPDATE IS NOW LIVE!💀
New Meat's biggest story update ever is finally here, with a surprise guest! A very special thanks to artist @Ruedefaux for all her help making this a reality!

New Meat's biggest story update ever is finally here, with a surprise guest! A very special thanks to artist @Ruedefaux for all her help making this a reality!
This update restores the two endings I had to cut from New Meat all the way back in its initial development, entirely because they would have required art assets I just didn't have the resources to pull together. So truly, this update doesn't happen without Rue!
Of course, her contributions are all MAJOR spoilers, so you'll have to find them yourself.
But...how do you find them? These new endings are hidden after all.
Check out the Steam update page for more information.

Okay, pencils down! New Meat's Redacted Update is TESTED and READY TO DROP TOMORROW NIGHT!
My original vision is about to be complete.
Get ready to see the worst endings in the game!
The problem with a 90% hit rate isn't that it doesn't hit all the time, it's that it hits so often there's no benefit in playing around the miss chance. A 50/50 is a tactical risk. A 90/10 can only be played with the expectation of hitting.
ボスの残りHPはわずか。命中率90％の攻撃を選んだら、まさかの3連続ミス。次の敵の攻撃で全滅。こんなとき「命中率90％って嘘だろ！」と腹立ちますね。
抽選が独立していれば、 3回とも外れる確率は0.1％で、数学的には何もおかしくありません。
「そろそろ当たるはず」は通用しないのはわかっていますが、それでも腹が立ちますね。ガチャでもパチンコでもそうですが。
面白いのは、命中率10％の攻撃が3回連続で当たる確率も同じ0.1％なのに、そちらは手放しで大喜びすることです。
数学的には対称でも、プレイヤーの受け止め方はまるで対称ではありません。
ゲーム開発では、乱数が数学的に正しいことと、プレイヤーが納得できることは別問題です。
なので、連続で外したときに次の命中率を補正したり、威力を犠牲にして必中攻撃を選べるようにしたりと、設計上の工夫が生まれます。
もちろん、純粋な確率を楽しむゲームなら補正しないのも正解です。
確率を正しく実装するかもゲームデザインですね。
余談ですが、大昔、サイコロを振ってキャラのHPを決めるテーブルトークRPGで、キャラ作成時とレベルアップ時に3回連続で「1」を出して絶望したことがあります…

Tonight was spent doing heavy final rewrites of the endings for the Redacted Update and I'm now finally happy with them.
All that's left now is a final playtest to make absolutely sure nothing's broken.
Hopefully, the update comes out Thursday. Friday at the latest.
Man, I wish this game had a Photo Mode.
There are so many little details I want to zoom in on and really appreciate.
NEW MEAT UPDATE: Okay, I can now say that the other two endings are now LARGELY COMPLETE! All that's going to change from this point is dialogue stuff.
This means that the Redacted Update is on schedule to release by Halloween! All that's left are some final touches and tests!
Switch Sports Resort Basketball is quickly becoming my favorite sport in the game now that I understand how it works, but the game is SO BAD at explaining it.
The tutorial tells you the controls but not anything about the actual strategy. You just have to play until it clicks.
12 years ago this would have come with a 3500-word Artist’s Statement to be dissected as a letter series on Gamasutra but now we can’t have fun anymore.
Indie clones have been a constant issue for over 15 years and I don’t think this changes the calculus at all.
At the end of the day, you’re making a worse version of a game that’s harder to market. There’s no gold to be rushed for here.
我宣布独立游戏创意进入了黑森林时代
过去，独立游戏开发者是非常包容的社区，因为知道做游戏不容易，因此会相互鼓励，打气。
因此也不担心创意被抄，因为这种项目大厂赚不了几个子看不上也不想抄。其他的开发者要抄也慢一步。做游戏这么难，所以还是做自己喜欢的游戏好。
这条路非常困难能做完已经是非常不错了。
但，现在情况不同了。
过去那种创意不重要的观念
做个草稿扔出来，慢慢迭代这种玩法已经失效，因为steam新品节发生的事情是很明显的例子，demo被抄袭，大量Ai slop，改变着这一切。
多年前，大厂之间会经常提黑森林法则，因为大厂之间的执行能力是无敌的，所以需要彼此防范直到最后才拿出来，但现在独立游戏也要经历这个过程了

Rushing out a cheap clone of a viral one-mechanic game has always been easy.
But you’re not selling those games to confused grandmas who can’t tell Bubsy from Sonic. You’re selling to an audience that knows what you did and saw the original game go viral. It doesn’t work.
I picked up Switch Sports Resort and man, I love when Nintendo puts out games that are just a box of little experiments like this.
Also, we need a Ring Fit Adventure 2 yesterday. Just a couple rounds of boxing made me remember how fun getting a workout with the Switch is.
NEW MEAT UPDATE: Barring a few possible tweaks, the first new ending is now COMPLETE!
And um...
...Yeah, I dunno if you're ready.
