Day 3 at GDC Festival of Gaming, and I lastly touched grass.

Not actually, clearly. It’s SoMa. The grass right here is usually ornamental.

But I did get to see Stephen Lenz 🔜 GDC in particular person, which is one thing I’ve been trying ahead to for some time. Stephen’s one among our group chat staples… the sort of particular person you’ve had 100 conversations with however solely over a display screen. There’s one thing genuinely nice about that second when the digital turns into bodily. It’s why occasions like this matter. The group chat is actual, the relationships are actual, you simply often want a convention in San Francisco to show it.

Shoutout to Simon Pulman and Justin Ruiss, who didn’t contact grass right this moment. Justin has a Long Island state of affairs. Simon has apparently transcended GDC totally at this level.

No Patch Notes this week, by the way in which. I’m sorry. I’m too busy working round SoMa to sit down down and write something coherent. Normal programming resumes subsequent week.

What I may give you is a Pokopia replace, as a result of I began my morning with an hour within the sport and I’ve ideas.

Finally cracked the Slowpoke/Onix quest. I couldn’t work out why nothing was working… seems I wanted to relocate Squirtle to the water, construct out the Seaside Tall Grass habitat to truly appeal to Slowpoke, escort him to the Pokémon Center, after which get the humidity excessive sufficient for him to yawn and set off the rain that softens the rocks round Onix.

This sport is genuinely addictive. I shall be telling everybody I meet right this moment that they need to be enjoying Pokémon Pokopia.

Consider this your warning.
