But the sales guy said that a programmer using their copilot technology will program at 10x speed. So I guess we can fire 10% to pay for it.

Simon Chylinski. I am now afraid of seeing anyone else’s twitter.

One reason Subnautica came out better through the years was the relationship built between the developers and players (beta testers?) by relying on transparency and active feedback. Subnautica was a big mess during the first iterations, and a lot changed and improved thanks to this collaboration IMO.

I remember when they explained that the game won’t have weapons and I scratched my head as I wanted to play an undersea Natural Selection game. I was wrong then, and I hope we’re all wrong and a better game (or at least similar one) comes out of this.

TIL, I liked the OST, but holy cow this guy’s twitter is nasty. He can get fucked.

“This news article matches 7 of the 9 preconditions for stimulating terror in gamers.”

From those that I bought, It’s probably the game I’ve played the most, though it is more of an idle game than anything else and at higher levels it became old really quick (for me).

It was 340K for creating a demo to hunt investors, but they already had funding from other sources.

What is a tad gray is the fact that most backers thought they were backing a full game, not a demo, which is not cool.

Then I pick Ultima 8. It felt like Crudader No Remorse but with fantasy trappings (because it didn’t play like Ultima at all).

That said, it is janky, full of bugs and incomplete (clearly there was a second part that never came), but I had fun and at the time it felt edgy and kind of a dangerous and misterious travel.

PRESENT DAY. PRESENT TIME. Hahahaha.

You also love Abba?

You definitely have earned any mistrust you may have for that harsh mistress.

Is water wet?

Maybe he’s not walking, maybe he’s Walken.

And a fantastic soundtracks for both Genesis and specially SegaCD: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLREYF4RnDeQC-WkVczOsvfJKwXUGMNnK8 or https://id.420129.xyz/playlist?list=PLREYF4RnDeQC-WkVczOsvfJKwXUGMNnK8

What did they do now?

Disney world and Maralago?

Don’t you guys have phones?

It’s you! The hero of kvatch!

I have to say you’ve got quite good taking screenshots. How do you pick where to do one?

They need to use ridiculous accents or else I would deem it unplayable.

Why is it so brown? Is it because of lighting?

I don’t see any horse balls physics in your list.

Utterly unplayable.

Cartridge manufacturing and distribution was hella expensive back then and that took a big bite on any sales.

Digital storefronts do take as well their lion share though, but that’s on sales.

Oh, let me check. True, you just uninstalled it.

Sad :(

Keep google maps though.

Rejoice children of Nod! For our time has arrived.

EVERYONE!

Scarlet Hollow is a game that started being developed by 2021 and it is still being told by episodes with the last episode on hold since 2022. They did release a game between episodes, but then again it’s a very large game with lots and lots of narrative branches.

Then I saw this: Note: The last update made by the developers was over 19 months ago. The information and timeline described by the developers here may no longer be up to date.

I would say yes but no, it is an incomplete game that gets very slow and gradual updates but it is definitely not abandoned by any terms: The developers release updates and news in a yearly basis and it seems to be continued alas in a glacial pace.

This feels like while this feature will be helpful to avoid early access unloved and discarded games, it will also be punishing those developers that release games as a part-time job, work on very small teams (or solo), or do complex and challenging projects.

Forbidden Siren 2 vibes here.

Should I play the first game before starting this one?

Artificial scarcity.

I receive: Your next paycheck

And all the power your house can provide without buring down*.

So… You’re saying to buy?

And they probably had to sweat blood and tears to get there, because the videogame industry is a harsh mistress.

My game is not poorly optimized, it is just made for future PCs.

Nemo’s War is an outstanding solo game, probably one of the best, both tematically and in how much life it has.

As a cooperative though, it is a quite complex game that make it teaching a bit of an ordeal (IMO). So joining someone’s play makes you feeling as if you were dragged along an old sea captain through the complexities of a highly technical submarine.

It needs a first slide where they explain how the play and pause button works and what an index is.

Sometimes I feel that these videos are for some unfrozen cavemen that are trying to fit our modern world of corporate wonders.

I mean, there’s already a British Fallout mod that’s maybe even better-ish than the last two entries.

So a hundred hours more to factorio?

No, not again, I didn’t have time to play all the stuff I bought on last one…
