@KenneyNL Ability-Gated Exploration Platformer (AGEP) Although Gated-Ability Metroid-like Explorer (GAME) makes a fun acronym. 😅

Silly question but I'll be releasing these "Metroidvania map assets" but I'd really like to avoid the word Metroidvania due to possible legal issues. Is there a similar word or description?

"Why isn't there any musketeer video game?" 🤺 In 2017, as a game design student, I pitched a game inspired by The Three Musketeers. This game turned into En Garde!, which we released in 2023 ✨ Despite that, I'm still asking that same question to this day. A thread 🧵

In our society, money is power, so the more money any individual amasses, the more power they amass. This power is then mobilized to acquire more money, and thus more power. Before you know it, the ultrawealthy are perverting every democratic institution we have. 10/
