Some screenshots of an upcoming Spyro-like game I found on Twitter titled Flint N' Flutter. It's being made by the creator of Clive N' Wrench. Check out some gameplay here:

In all honesty, the goats in AHiT always reminded me of Brackenwood's Bitey. If you look at their faces, you can see why.

Todays rip: 19/12/2023

Dancin' Tranquility

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume C

Ripped by Ahmaykmewsik

Requested by xinos (Discord)

Y'know, it feels like almost any time I highlight a rip by Ahmaykmewsik, I'm obligated to highlight just how good they are at gripping a track's emotional core, making rips with so much pure visible feeling and heart. It was only earlier this month that I talked about It's Snowy but its snowy, and a month before that I covered one of my all-time favorite rips in Your Silent Reality. Even in simpler, earlier rips, with simpler mashups like Picture This Ranch, their talent has been evident, and though I don't want to pick favorites too much on SiIva there's just something about Ahmaykmewsik's rips that keep me coming back time and time again. And, really, today's no different: when Dancin' Tranquility got suggested for the blog, I saw it as an opportunity to just get to talk more about this incredible ripper.

I have a lot of feelings on A Hat in Time in general, that honestly sort of mirror my experiences with SiIvaGunner - it has the wholesale heart and soul of a pure indie project, and wears its influences, strengths, weaknesses, excellence and imperfections equally as proudly. Its a game that's immensely hard to dislike due just to how earnestly happy the development team seem to always be, and the Peace and Tranquility screen really embodies all of that. Referencing an older Tumblr meme whilst also feeling like a sort of acknowledgement of how caring and friendly the game's community had become, it's an aesthetic touch that had no reason or requirement to be implemented into the full game. Yet its addition was just one of the many pieces that makes the whole of A Hat in Time feel so lovely.

In that same way, a rip of the theme could have very well been executed perfectly with any sort of hip-hop mashup, akin to something like Noonsummer Madness or even Door into a Hundred Summers. Yet the remixing effort Ahmaykmewsik has gone through here feels so painstakingly, carefully done - incorporating elements and samples from Dancin - Krono Remix, a song with a similarly lo-fi, kick-back-and-relax energy to it. There's a newfound energy to Dancin' Tranquility that's hard to really describe - it feels lo-fi, yet the remixing add a subtle feeling of urgency, without actually becoming stressful.

There's so many little touches to the remix that make it truly stand out, breaks and sound samples, additional backing pieces - yet it all fits together surprisingly cohesively. And like I said before: that's kind of like A Hat in Time itself, isn't it? It really shouldn't come as a surprise that the official A Hat in Time twitter account found, loved and shared the rip with its own fans, one form of independent art creation supporting another. Ahmaykmewsik continues to impress me, and I'm so happy to see their work be appreciated through Dancin' Tranquility in particular.
