Context: I'm a game developer who usually participates in game jams (it's like a contest to create a game within a certain timebox). I made a game that is like Mario + Pokemon: you can kill monsters or capture them.
This jam started on September 2023, when we were getting snippets of the drum tracks from Travis for the OMT album. I got in love with one in particular, this one:
So I decided to create a track with that same drum pattern, so I could compare the final blink-182 track with mine. It turns out the drum pattern was for Blinkwave.
Guess what? In that level, I created a monster in honor of blink. And I called it Blinkwave! (By that time we knew the track list, but I didn't know that drum pattern was part of blinkwave since that song was never previewed!) Stick to the video, you will see the monster at the end.
