Jan 25, 2026 22:00What more can I say about it? The game that changed my life before it even released, and then changed it again after, and then changed it again a year later. Probably the game I'll always be known for, and all my future work will be held up to
i am filled with gratitude thinking of it. grateful that I was there at the right place and time, with the right skillset developed over my decade+ of platformer work, with the right team built over years of living in community, with the right story to tell driving me to get up every day and work
what more can i say except thank you
As a grad student at the NYU game center: it’s impossible to overstate how influential this game has been for my classmates and me. It’s a massive touchstone that will drive game makers for many many years to come
🙏 thanks for sharing this! it's really the highest compliment to know it is influencing other creators
