Ah jeeze, con crud! I'm glad you're doing better, that's the worst thing to bring back from a con.
What do you think of this arcade floor tile?
I plan on recoloring the arcade cabinets to have complimentary colors after I settle on a floor color.
Also, thank you for the pickup animation suggestion, my thought process stopped with a "bloop" sound effect and the hold animation set for the robot...
...but tiny arms make it really difficult for players to see on a big screen.
A pick up animation would be helpful in communicating "you got the thing," especially in conjunction with other context-specific effects. I'll probably be able to try something the week after GDC.
