Zool Redimensioned... A Classic Is Back As A Door Into The Industry?
If I didn't play Zool 2 on the Atari Jaguar so many years ago (and yes I owned one of those)... I would've passed this one by, but luckily I didn't. Not only is Zool Redimensioned a remake (with the retro version tucked in)... it comes by way of a commendable initiative.
Zool Redimensioned, is a 2D platformer starring a ninja alien from the Nth Dimension (who totally gives me Sonic The Hedgehog vibes) who throws these laser-like shurikens and uses katanas to take on 28 redesigned stages and bosses in the Nth Dimension.
One thing I appreciate (which a number of colleges with so-called game development programs should be doing) is the door being opened into the industry for students behind this game. The industry isn't as open as some may think, and I can understand to a degree when it comes to experience... because you don't want a game release to be a waste of time based on rookie mistakes. On the other hand, how are students expected to get any seasoning when the door is closed to those who lack experience with games that have been officially released?
So that's why I salute those like... Sumo Digital Academy, because routes like this are a sure pathway to get experience under your belt. I don't know if the students get a cut of the sales, but... with that title under their belt, it's a pass that few can say they actually have. We might be looking at future legends of the industry.
Zool Redimensioned has been rebuilt from scratch by the Sumo Digital Academy, a talent development programme focused on creating new pathways into the games industry. With guidance from the developers of the 1992 original at Gremlin Graphics, we’ve retained the spirit that makes Zool a cult classic, while adding mechanics we’ve loved from the past 29 years of fantastic platforming games. The result is Zool Redimensioned, a game that transcends time and space - don’t miss out on this classic retro adventure!

This isn't the only route, but... it's certainly an option that doesn't require a 4-year college. I don't know if SDA does placement or anything of that sort, so if they're on your radar... ask questions. The other options as mentioned before... include taking courses online (which are affordably priced) or getting dev course bundles (that have books, software, and/or courses).

Best Nintendo Switch Games For Family Fun: Mario Kart 8 Ultimate
Gaming as a family is a great way to bond and spend quality time together. It also gives parents a chance to enjoy game time with their children and make memories that will last a lifetime. Gaming can be a great way to teach kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and competition in a healthy and fun way. And let's not forget, it's also a great way to relieve some stress and have a little fun. So, next time you're looking for a fun way to spend some quality family time, break out the controllers and give family gaming a try with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch.
This game delivers tons of replay value, it doesn't just end at riding on a track with your selected character, it's all about the competition (baby)... so choose one of the many characters (i.e. Baby Mario) and jump into dozens upon dozens of tracks to fun it up with the family (in a variety of modes).
This tops the list because it's great for teaching teamwork, and learning good sportsmanship in terms of when the kids win and... especially when they lose. Not for nothing, but when they lose it will help them in the long run, because... you help them get into the habit of picking themselves up and trying again versus giving up.
Encouragement to try-try again should be enough to get them back into the kart for fun compared to a participation trophy, because you win some... you lose some. Healthy competition is all fun but the plus is that it unconsciously helps in other areas of life.
Sure you get the online play that allows you to fill in the blanks where other racers are concerned if you don't want to play against the AI, sure it adds to the replay value because it makes the competition virtually endless, but... make family fun the ultimate goal. Game on!
