Update: I got COVID.

Update: I got COVID.
A bit of an unfortunate update on things at CORAX studios. If you've explored around on the website, you may have discovered that we're a "one-man wrecking crew". By merit of my living in rural New Mexico, I'd managed to avoid it, but this week I managed to catch COVID. While I am fully up-to-date on my vaccinations, I've still been taking it easy. Fact is, I have an underlying heart condition...

Indie Horror Problems and Solutions
(Disclaimer: I originally wrote this post a year ago, but never shared it here.) As a video game designer and producer myself, I sometimes have to take a step back and examine the state of the medium as a whole, ask questions of How, Who, and Why? And tonight I find myself focusing on a particular subset of the horror game genre, that of survival indie horror. And in particular, I find myself...

30 Day Video Game Music Challenge! Day 16
Welp, that thesis project has been pushed back by an unreconcilable lack of data. So, I get to do more work on other stuff! Not that I dislike working on the thesis, just it had definitely superceded every other item in my backlog. But, since it's pretty set in stone that I'm not going to be able to graduate this semester, I now have time for other things! Like the Video Game Music Challenge!...

Coming Challenges and Future Plans
Some may have noticed my sudden disappearance on this platform. This is unfortunately because other life events have caught up with me, and frankly at this moment I don't have the time to be updating this site on a daily, or even semi-daily basis. So, what's happening? First, some of you may be aware, I'm working on my Master of Science in Physics, Concentration in Instrumentation. My goal is to...

30 Day Video Game Music Challenge! Day 13
And now we're at Day 13. I've kind of been dreading this one, because it's definitely one of the more challenging items.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I feel like I need to defend myself from the outset on this one, and so at the very least, I'm including a disclaimer: I wanted to love this game. I genuinely did. I thoroughly enjoyed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , and this was to be its sequel....

I very much wanted to get this review out there earlier, but with life catching up with me, it's been hard to find the time. Well, this afternoon I'm making the time. (Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, like it does sometimes in this...

Metroid Dread
I’ve decided I really don’t like Metroid Dread for the same reason I really didn’t like Metroid: Samus Returns . Aspects of the game implemented to solve a prevalent problem make the game not fun. I am, of course, talking about the aiming problem, and the...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
It's been a long time since I last played a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, in fact way back to the first pair. I owned Blue Rescue Team, and I remember enjoying it. The story was interesting, though I didn't get very far; the game came out during a rough time...

New Super Lucky's Tale
When I first saw this game originally on the XBox One, it actually almost made me want to get that console, just for the one game. It's an adorable-looking platformer from an independent studio — always a plus in my book — it looked like an amazing, fun...
