Help I got emotionally attached to colored shapes again
The last time this happened was when with the game Thomas Was Alone but that had text and story arcs and platforming. This time it's puzzles and lines
I got emotionally invested in fucking colored lines
I picked up LineLight because it looked like a simple little puzzle game I could pick up and put down on a whim without needing to plan time for it. And it's a charming little game. You are a line of light and you can travel on a different line to go solve little self contained puzzles all while a delightful soundtrack plays
There are other colors of lines too. Some move on their own. Some copy you. But you usually stick to one kind of new line per world. Then, after you have solved the puzzles, you go on a journey with one of those new lines. The journey puzzles are more like helping each other keep going forward up until you get to the end, the music swells, and you part ways
Then, a gentle song plays as you reach the end of your line, enter the light, and the stage ends
And damn it if I didn't form an emotional bond with those fucking lines. They were my friends. We went on such a journey together. All those puzzles we solved. It was such a sad moment when you saw the turn away and knew that this was goodbye
Godspeed red line

Linelight is an elegant puzzle game set in a world of lines.Linelight is a refreshingly inventive, minimalist puzzle-adventure game. It takes the wildly simple premise of "What if everything takes place on a line?" and rockets it into outer space.Each mechanic is immediately understandable, then gradually combined with familiar elements, leading to an exponentially large array bursting with puzzles, each with a one-of-a-kind solution.There’s no jump button. There’s no shoot button. The way you move creates a universe of possibilities and one mind-bending experience.Guide Dash across the game’s rich, clean, and relaxing worlds; Linelight simulates the experience of getting an A on an exceptionally hard test while receiving a back massage.The gameplay is simultaneously unique and intuitive enough that gamers, non-gamers, your technology-illiterate relatives, tweens, rocket scientists, a potato with googly eyes and toothpicks for arms, and even line connoisseurs are all on the same playing field of challenge.*Welcome to the world of Linelight.*Okay, maybe not the potato.Key FeaturesBask in the soft glow of a world made out of straight lines.Experience 6 hours of pure, unadulterated gameplay.Solve more than 250 unique puzzles across 6 unique worlds.Enjoy a Zen-like, ethereal soundtrack, and enter a state of flow.Explore the intricacies of each world to uncover secret challenges.“Finding a game like Linelight feels like a blessing.”GameSpot“Linelight is nothing short of a stroke of genius.”4.5/5 – Hardcore Gamer“It's very clever at times, and more importantly it's the sort of game I can play for literally any length of time—as little as a minute or two—and still come away feeling like I've accomplished something.”PC Gamer

[Kyuushi Character Song] The Invincible Progenitor, Lord Draluc (Eng TL)
Tumblr media
"Fuhahahahaha!"
"Fuhahahahaha!"
Verse 1: I am the great Vampire Lord The curtains open for this masquerade of chaos This fearsome presence controlling the world of mortals The eminent progenitor, the invincible Lord Draluc
Prechorus: „Good evening, what a wonderful nape you have there, young lady, would you like to- waughh! Ostriches!”
I’m sorry ("Saaand!") I’m just a fat widdle caterpillar
“This is exactly why Shin-Yokohama is senseless, loud, and time passes by way too quickl- AHH! IT’S SUNRISE!!”
Super weak, earthworm level
Chorus: Come, let’s indulge the night away Playing a game whose machinations the mere mortals can’t comprehend Let’s dance in the world of the immortals Quench the age-old thirst of my throat Come, dance right into my hands
"Fuhahahahaha!"
Verse 2: One after the other, incidents keep happening ("WTF?!") Those inferior vampires are a noob One Hit KO The amiable and convenient human society Should abide by my intellectual and agreeable rules
Prechorus 2: "S-Stop it! You got the wrong vampire!”
Ergo, ("Saand!") I’m only acting the fool
"Eh, what the hell? Does this town only have freaks?!”
The insane ("Saand!") city of fiends, Shin-Yoko
Chorus 2: Come, fear me, the one who eclipses even the sun Little boys should just go eat some celery Wherever the night goes, that is my dance hall The moon’s gaze is beautiful tonight Yes, rise up, the hedonism flowing in my blood
Bridge: "Wahahahaha! You foolish humans! That’s right! I am such an awesome invincible progenitor Vampire Lord, I'm even helping the hunters!”
Easily betray, effortlessly die
Chorus 3: Come, let’s indulge the night away Playing a game whose machinations the mere mortals can’t comprehend Let’s dance in the world of the immortals Quench the age-old thirst of my throat Ah, I long for the pale glow of a nape
Outro: I’m just joking. I‘ll settle with milk...
Defeat…
"Hey, you tricked me! Oops, I slipped- Saaaaand!!!”
---
Since the Ronaldo character song was a big hit I decided to do this one too. It's such a fun song. I took a lot of liberties here, so it sounds like how Draluc would talk in English. But no TL notes to explain all the differences with the JP, you will just have to take my word for it LOL Thanks for reading!

Introducing some Characters of Mine! :D
so in general recently, I’ve been wanting to be more true to myself and be more open about the furry content I like and draw
and I feel like this might be a good start after posting my fursona!
so here are 4 characters of mine which I’ve had for a while, but have just never done much with!
Tumblr media
from left to right, top to bottom:
K-9, Cinder Linelight, Cinnamon Scotch, and Cookie Dough :)
I’ll make some more posts featuring some basic features and backstory, but for now, enjoy!

Linelight: it's ok, I guess? I like the idea, I like some of the puzzles, and I like the music, but toward the end it started getting more annoying to solve things than it was satisfying. I ended up skipping like half of the last level because I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I hadn't expected there to be so much timing-based stuff and "enemies", and the more it went in that direction the less I liked it.

The Philip’s Best Things of the Year 2017 List
“But Philip, it’s March! Why are you doing your best of 2017 list now?”   Well that’s because it sometimes takes me a while to get around to things, and hey, at least it isn’t April.
Anyway, I had a pretty good time in 2017. There were some really important changes in my life, some great people and events, and a whole heap of good media.
Presented below are some of my favourite medias of 2017. This is stuff I experienced for the first time in 2017, not necessarily stuff which came out in 2017. Also the things aren’t ordered within their sections.
Books
Strange Practise by Vivian Shaw
This was one of those books which I picked up in Waterstones entirely on a whim, and I’m incredibly happy I did (as should be obvious with it being on this list). It explores one of my favourite concepts, that of how the fantastical actually operates in the real world. The main character, Dr. Greta van Helsing (descendent of the usual van Helsing) is a doctor to the supernatural, and through her presence causes the monsters who make up her clientele to feel much more grounded and real than they would otherwise.
The book also makes really good use of public domain characters, placing them in the world such that they feel they belong there, without their public domain status being the spotlight. Another thing the book does well is conveying emotions; in particular it does a fantastic job of conveying emotional vulnerability without it being a synonym for weakness.
Dune by Frank Herbert
You know what Dune is. I don’t need to explain it.
Dune has been haunting my reading list and bookshelf for an awful long time. Every time I would pick out a new book to read, Dune would be there, waving it’s pages to catch my attention and calling “Hey! It’s me, Dune! I’m a classic of the genre. I’m beloved for good reason. You’re not having read me causes you to miss out on many references, and you’re well aware of this. I can explain to you what the Gom Jabbar is. Read me!” And every time I would glance at Dune, think about how long and revered it is, avoid eye contact, and pretend that I hadn’t heard or seen it.
Well this year I finally put that right. It felt good to finally have it stop taunting me, but it felt even better to actually read it, because it turns out that Dune is really fucking good.
The way that the world is built, the interactions between the characters, the way things grow and develop in the book, all of it is just so damn good. It’s Dune, go read it.
City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett
City of Miracles was a fantastic end to a trilogy which I’ve loved. Tying up the major loose ends, answering the major unanswered questions, and taking the world and themes to a wonderful ending point.
The trilogy as a whole did some really nice stuff with the perspective and pacing. Each book has a different main character (though they’re each always important), and they’re set many years apart, decades even. This results in the world feeling and characters feeling very alive and functional in that they’re doing stuff even if we’re not seeing it. The books focus on the three major Divine events since the Blink (incidentally, I’m a big fan of this type of post-big-event setting), and just lets us know that stuff happened during the time between.
The book also contains a bit I adore, in which exposition is explicitly and dramatically avoided in a way which ties perfectly into the characters in the scene.
The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson
I’d fallen a bit behind on Cosmere stuff recently, so I spent a bit of this year catching up. They were all good, but The Bands of Mourning really stood out to me as excellent, and some of Sanderson’s best work. Something I loved in particular about this book was the way in which it managed reader emotions. I don’t want away too much, so I’ll just say that the reader’s feelings are directed in such a way that it maximises impact and catharsis, and really elevates the later parts of the book.
The Tropic of Serpents by Marie Brennan
The first of the Lady Trent books was good, but it really came into its own with The Tropic of Serpents. The way that these books approach dragons, from the perspective of a natural historian viewing them in a scientific manner, is incredibly refreshing; it’s so nice to see Dragons actually fitting in a Victorian era (I think, I get all the eras named after monarchs mixed up) world, and the characters treating them like they belong.
Even leaving the dragons aside, the handling of the era is really good. It deals really well with the struggle of science in the face of politics, as well as the struggles of women and the lower class within the scientific communities.
The Brothers Cabal by Jonathan L. Howard
I love the Johannes Cabal books. Cabal is a real bastard, and that makes him a joy to read about. He’s not evil mind you, he’s certainly not a pinnacle of virtue either, but he’s mostly kind of a good guy. Any shitty things he does are in service of a greater goal, but he’s still a bastard. It brings a texture to his internal conflicts which you don’t really see often.
He’s a great character, but having his brother around elevates him even further. The two of them are fantastic comparisons and foils for each other.
The way in which the Cabal books handle the supernatural is also great. It feels functional and integrated into the world, yet still unmistakably outside of the normal.
Kill All Angels by Robert Brockway
Much like City of Miracles, this was a fantastic end to a trilogy.
The Vicious Circle books are fascinating and notable for a variety of reasons: there’s the way in which they keep two timelines going throughout the whole trilogy; there’s the way it showcases cosmic horror on a human level, as well as placing the horror on that level; there’s the way it handles the idea of humanity, and what it means to loose it; and there’s also the way in which it takes the question “Why is Mario Lopez so weird?” and builds it out into one of my favourite horror series.
I rather not say any more about the series, just know that I really recommend it.
Also when I said “Mario Lopez”, I actually meant to say “A character similar to, but legally distinct from Mario Lopez”.
Games
Doki Doki Literature Club
This game hits like a ton of bricks, and good bricks at that. At this point I think that most everyone knows the deal with DDLC, but I’m still going to avoid big spoilers.
DDLC is one of those games which catches you by surprise, and isn’t what you first expect. It’s got a big old twist, shocks the hell out of you at some moments, and does some terrific integration of mental illness into the plot and characters. All of that is done fantastically, but the thing which really makes DDLC stick out to me is just how good the core game itself is.
The first part of DDLC, before stuff hits the wall, is the best dating sim visual novel I’ve played. That’s super important for setting up and enabling the later stuff, but it’s also just great. If Team Salvato announced that they were doing a pure dating sim, I would be well up for that.
West of Loathing
Considering the amount of time I’ve put into Kingdom of Loathing over the years (spoiler: a lot), it’s should be no surprise that I love this game. However I will say that I was a tad surprised with just how much I loved it.
KoL has always been a game driven mostly by it’s writing and concepts, and this game capitalises on both of those. There’s an awful lot of writing in the game, and all of it is good. Everywhere where there can be a joke, there’s a good joke, and everywhere where there isn’t a joke, there’s some damn good writing which would have had its impact lessened by a joke (to be clear: all of the joke writing is also good; I mean just that there’s always a good reason for jokes being absent).
The story the game tells, and the way it does it, are both incredible; and there’s a real elegance to the game’s art style.
Super Mario Odyssey
This game is a true delight. I’m famously bad at sticking it all the way through games, but this one kept hold of me and I finished it in a weekend. Not that I’ve 100%ed it mark you, but I also didn’t exactly rush through the campaign, I took my time, did a bit of sightseeing and all that.
The game’s also kept me coming back. I keep on finding myself popping back in to pick up a few more moons.
It’s just so joyous, so lovely, so utterly delightful. There’s just so much in the game, and it’s all just so good.
Just Dance 2017
Yeah that’s right, Just Dance. I’d never really played Just Dance before this year, but I have now and I love it. It’s just a whole heap of fun to play, and a nice alternative to going for a run if I want to exercise but don’t want to leave the flat.
I specify 2017 because that’s the one I’ve played.
Monument Valley 2
The first Monument Valley is one of my favourite games, so there was a bit of a worry that the sequel wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Thankfully those worries were unfounded, and I’d put MV2 right up there with the first. It plays like the first, but with twists on the mechanics to keep it feeling fresh. Similarly, it explores the same themes, but from a different perspective. The looks are just as stunning as the first, and go even further in many points, really exploring what the graphic style can do.
Ultimately the game is more Monument Valley, and that’s exactly what I wanted it to be.
Linelight
Linelight was a nice little puzzle game with straightforward, easily understood mechanics and a delightful, simple aesthetic. It managed to excel due to the excellence in puzzle design, and the way in which it conveyed ideas and meaning.
Put simply, if Thomas Was Alone didn’t exist, then these would be the strongest emotions a game has made me feel about such simple shapes. This game however didn’t have a narrator, instead it used just the mechanics to make me attached to some of my companion lines, and did so in a sublime way.
TV Shows
Girls’ Last Tour
I’ll be honest with you; I picked up this show because they dab in the OP. It turned out that was actually a good decision, as it led me to one of my all time favourite shows.
Girls’ Last Tour is a slow paced, intimate show. It’s an exploration of the two main characters travelling through a dead world, and just trying to survive. The world feels empty in a way which few other post-apocalypse things manage, mostly due to the fact that there are so few characters. In the 12 episode run, only 2 supporting human characters are encountered, and each is around for only one episode. This means you really get to know the main characters, and to truly see how their time in this dead world is affecting them.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable
It’s no secret that I love Jojo, and Diamond is Unbreakable is without a doubt my favourite part so far.
I loved Stardust Crusaders, but I had several issues with it. Diamond is Unbreakable fixes damn near all of them, and it really feels like Mr JoJo learnt some lessons from SC and applied them here. The characters are great and you really get to know them, the fights are cool and satisfying, and all the Stands feel unique and interesting.
Then there’s the actual presentation of the show, which is absolutely stunning. The unusual colour palette gives the world a whole new depth, and the soundtrack is just incredible. In particular there’s a certain use of a certain theme, which results in one of my all time favourite moments in a tv show.
Cromartie High School
Cromartie’s really damn funny, though it’s hard to put into words exactly why. I think a large part of it is the show’s absolute commitment to inconsistency. It’s committed to the extent that not even the show’s inconsistency is consistent. Things are forgotten, the forgetting is lampshaded, but then some characters will remember things whilst others won’t. Storylines will just stop, but then they might suddenly restart at a later date as if they had been going all along. It’s a show where nothing is ever really forgotten, but nothing is ever really remembered either.
It’s art is what I’m trying to say. Pure art.
My Brother, My Brother and Me
That’s right, this one isn’t an anime. It is a spin-off from a podcast though, so it’s a pretty nice lead in to the next section.
Do you like the MBMBaM podcast? If yes, then you’ll love the show. If no, then there’s a good chance you’ll still love the show. The podcast is used as the basis for it, but it’s built up into something even greater. It’s not just that it has editing and a budget, it also shows us new layers to the relationship between the brothers, and puts them in the real world as opposed to the podcast void which they normally live in. Everything in the show is so funny, and so good. I really do love it.
Podcasts
Wonderful
Wonderful is an aptly named podcast; it’s a true joy to listen to.
In the podcast, husband and wife, Griffin and Rachel Mcelroy, talk about the things they like. That’s the entire premise, and it makes for a truly wonderful podcast because it’s just so positive and sweet and lovely. There are no rules on the kinds of things they talk about, so they could be as general as a genre of film, or as specific as a sequence of notes in a particular song.
This podcast is the second iteration of Rose Buddies, which was a Bachelor fancast, and shares the same podcast feed, so watch out for that if you pick it up. Not that Rose Buddies wasn’t also a great podcast, but it was of a different style. The fact that I picked up Rose Buddies in 2016 does make the podcast’s place on this list a touch more dubious, but I’m the one making up the rules here, so I’m saying it’s fine.
Pretend Friends
This podcast is a delight. It’s an RPG podcast with the Continue? guys, and I have a history of finding them funny, so it makes sense I like this podcast. But what really elevates it is the game that they’re playing, that being Space Kings. Space Kings is notable in several ways, one of those ways being that it isn’t actually out yet. The GM of the podcast is one of the devs of the game, and the podcast is a bit of a beta test for it. That’s a nice novelty, but the thing which is really great about Space Kings is how it’s built around making a good collaborative story and having a laugh, rather than being built around firm mechanics.
It’s a podcast of a bunch of friends trying to make each other laugh, succeeding, and telling a story about a bunch of friends travelling around in space and getting up to some good hijinks. At one point a cat cuts a spaceship in half, at another a mop fires a gun. It’s a good time.
The Worst Idea of All Time
You know how I said that Wonderful’s place on this list was a tad dubious? Well TWIoAT is even more dubious due to the fact that I’ve been listening to it for years. The reason I’ve put it here is that it ended this year. TWIoAT was a fantastic ride the whole way through. If you’ve ever wanted to listen to a pair of skill Kiwi comedians lose their minds over a few years, then this is the show for you. Whilst I’m sad to see it go, I’m happy that the two of them can start the road to recovery now.
Web Shows
Super Beard Bros - Dark Souls 3
Beard Bros is a long time favourite of mine, and I think that this might well be one of their best series. Brett is just such a fantastic addition to the crew, and allows the other two to shift into slightly different roles. All of them are on utterly top form in this series, and it leads to a fantastic atmosphere, and lovely series.
The core of it is how wonderfully positive it is. Alex gets frustrated at times, but never really angry and seems to be having a great time with the game. Brett’s a fantastically encouraging person, and a true delight to listen to. And it’s so nice to get to hear Jirard chilled out, and finally having the time to make the wrap of the day.
Press Buttons ‘n’ Talk - Phoenix Wright 2
I discovered PB’n’T late last last year (2016) with their playthrough of Phoenix Wright 1. From there I worked my way through the rest of their stuff and caught up in PW2, which was a pleasing symmetry.
The channel is always great to watch, but the Phoenix Wright games are where they really excel. The voices given to the characters really bring the games to life, and they’re off high enough quality, and consistently enough applied that they’re now firmly in my head as the cannon voices for the characters. Even Phoenix himself, who’s handed back and forth between the two of them, feels consistent and has a real identity in his voice.
It’s a good series.

Hey Everyone - I did another review! The text from YouTube is below ^_^
Linelight is a refreshingly inventive, minimalist puzzle-adventure game. It takes the wildly simple premise of "What if everything takes place in the first dimension?" and rockets it into outer space.
There’s no jump button. There’s no shoot button. The way you move creates a universe of possibilities and one mind-bending experience.
Guide Dash across the game’s rich, clean, and relaxing worlds; Linelight simulates the experience of getting an A+ on an exceptionally hard test while receiving a back massage.

Linelight PS4 / Steam Puzzle Game Review
It’s always good to know that in a world of high-end graphics and intense action video gaming there is always time for a less energetic approach to video games. Linelight is a puzzle game set in a world made entirely of lines and lights. The style is simple but the puzzles are not. Linelight, has been released on Steam and  PS4 by My Dog Zorro. However, is Linelight a great example of simple…

Review: Linelight
Linelight‘s unapologetically simple aesthetic is cunningly packed with a punch matched only by its intelligent assortment of variety and execution in creating a puzzle game that blossoms into something more than merely guiding colored bars on a circuit board-like winding of lines. 
Keep reading!

New Post has been published on PLAYERSWORLD
NUOVO POST https://goo.gl/eipDJd
Linelight disponibile su Steam e Ps4
Ridurre un gioco ai minimi termini oggi può sembrare una manovra rischiosa. Questo perché oltre a diminuire il numero di possibilità, rischi di banalizzare il tutto a tue spese. Solo i nostalgici dei vecchi giochi a bassa risoluzione riescono a trovare il tempo per apprezzare questi esemplari.
Questo non succede però con Linelight, l’ultimo gioco puzzle della My Dog Zorro in cui i percorsi sono interamente composti da linee rette attraversati da luci al neon, il tutto condito da uno sfondo buio e una musica cullante e minimale in sottofondo. La natura essenziale di questo gioco è ancor più messa in risalto dalle dinamiche ridotte ai soli spostamenti, fattore che contribuisce a renderlo un gioco più che degno di menzione.
Da oggi, Linelight è acquistabile tramite Steam o Ps4 a 9 euro. Non vi resta che provarlo!
