the PS1's general soundtrack quality standards are so high that someone can go "hey heather, you've never been interested in ridge racer, have you heard R4's OST?" and it'll immediately shoot to the fucking top.

move me is one of my favorite vgms of all time even before playing r4 or any other ridge racer games

They also synchronized menu background to the beat (desyncs a bit but you get the idea)

In addition to incredible music, the game is also a technical and graphical masterpiece, saved these gifs years ago

also this amazing car and song remix combo you unlock for collecting all other 320 cars in the game

the shader is very simple, but neat. it forces every pixel to clamp to one of the colors in the palette i set, so i never have to worry about breaking the palette by doing stuff like transparency or using the wrong colors in an asset. it's also very easy to change palettes, so i can completely change the look of the game at any time without swapping out any assets

i can't believe we're only like two months out from SAGE 2024. we're not participating this year, since the last demo already has 3/8ths of the game in it and that's probably plenty to give out for free :p

while it was a lot of fun, it was also super stressful, and i'm excited to just enjoy the event this year without having to worry about anything this time :3
