Chew Chew Mimic on NES – Preorder Now! – John Riggs

This is the latest production from Rigg’d Games, perhaps my favourite publisher. Oh, it’s also from Lowtek Games. Well, who are they?

Their website is down. Google cache suggests that it’s run by a guy called Alastair Low. He lives in Dundee, Scotland.

This game also won an award, apparently, but I can’t find anything about it.

0:15 – Well, he does show the plaque that he got. He could have printed this out himself, though.

0:30 – He suggests that it could be the best NES soundtrack you’ve ever heard. Uh huh. Let’s try to keep this within the realm of reality, John Riggs.

1:15 – This game was released for Evercade, Ant Stream (or something), and Play Date. Oh, sure. Those things. I love my Ant Stream gaming.

1:45 – He shows what you get. It’s a black cart. Then he goes on to say that he also has gold, silver, and copper carts. Who cares? Come on. Fucking colours.

4:45 – You can get an air freshner too. Earlier, he showed the manual and the box.

That’s the video. Conspiculously absent: gameplay footage. You know why? Because it looks like ass.

There’s gameplay footage on this Kickstarter. It’s one of the worst-looking games I’ve ever seen in my life. The colours are bad. The sprites are bad. I’m not shitting on things for the sake of it. I wish that this looked better. But this looks awful.

Is there even an excuse for this any more? You could have made all of the artwork with AI.

It’s unfortunate how many people are losing their jobs because of AI. Pelvic Gamer said that she lost her job because of AI. She edited videos or something. But artists are all going to lose their jobs. Writers. Pornographers. There’s a whole list of jobs that are going to be lost.

Anyway, JOHN RIGGS met his $10,000 goal. There were actually 160 people who gave money to this.

There’s the video where he won this award. I somehow missed it. It’s from two months ago. I rarely go to his channel. But from a quick perusal, he thanks his wife during his acceptance speech. She does put up with an enormous amount from him: never being home, the philandering, ignoring his children and the dire consequences that resulted.

But he got an old AOL CD in a frame so it all evens out.
