@games What demos did you try today? | DAY 5

Greetings Flamboyant Flamingos (I'm running out of nouns and adjectives starting with F) of the Fediverse, it's the 5th day of the , and for me, unfortunately, the last, weekend duty calls, and I won't be able to give proper time to any other demo, so consider this last batch of impressions as my farewell to you all, until the next time

@games Wild Bastards

Procedurally generated FPS, from the creators of Void Bastards

The neon/cowboy/scifi setting works, the shooting is way slower paced than I imagined, the unique abilities for the characters are interesting, and the fact that you're constantly chased and need to pick your battles carefully gives a nice tension to the whole.

The demo definitely left me wanting to know more about this project, I'll take a good look at it in the months before its release

Pipsqueak looks interesting! I don’t know how I missed it when browsing. If you like that GBA style, also check out the demo for Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.

2 quite different puzzler games:

This one caught my eye because of the art (same artist as Braid) but the everything about this game is charming
…steampowered.com/…/Arranger_A_RolePuzzling_Adven…Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure follows the story of Jemma, a small-town misfit on a journey of self-discovery. Venturing out beyond her stiflingly cozy confines, she finds an inspiring world - but also one ruled by fear, and a strange, immovable ‘static’ force. Can she disrupt a culture of stagnation, and find a place to fit into it?

This one I played because it’s by Game Maker’s Toolkit from YouTube so was keen to see what he’d built. Also enjoyed this one and it has a cute and polished presentation style.
store.steampowered.com/app/…/Mind_Over_Magnet/Mind Over Magnet: Escape a dangerous factory using the power of magnetism. You must team up with three different magnet friends and use their unique abilities to solve more than 60 tricky single-screen puzzles.

Greetings, flaming fellas of the Fediverse, we are halfway through , but that's no reason to be idle, for surprises at every corner and every genre awaits

quilan ,

I’ve been playing Heart of the Machine, and really enjoying it. It’s a fascinating 4x ish in a future city, in a bit of an inversion of AI Wars (same developer). Before playing, I was merely intrigued, but now I’m excitedly awaiting where it goes. It was, however, initially difficult to figure out what to do. Perhaps more UX is going to be useful here.

NotSteve_ ,

I’ve been playing Enotria: The Last Song. So far seems like a solid souls like but it has wicked performance issues right now. I’m really digging the vibe of the main demo city but I’m barely hitting 40fps on low settings with an RTX 3070ti

@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?

There have been rumors/controversies about the next Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.

Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community

Cover of the turn-based game Disciples 2
Cover of the game turn-based Solium Infernium
Cover of the 4X Age of Wonders 4

wiezy_lrwi ,

I absolutely love disciples 2 and would highly recommend it. The unit progression trees give it a lot of replayability. Even though the third instalment gets worse reviews it’s also pretty good and has some nice graphics and a more dynamic battlefield. Maybe consider its competition as well (heroes of might and magic and eador). There is a far east themed 4x game called oriental empires that also has interesting army mechanics. Humankind and millennia sound like titles that should at least be mentioned even if you already pointed out that you don’t like paradox.

Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like

I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.

Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!

There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

mnemonicmonkeys ,

They don’t need to if the assets are just similar instead of straight-up copies

Psythik ,

Well I don’t necessarily mean copy the graphics, but more of the gameplay of that era. A N64/GameCube-like title with modern graphics is what I’m looking for.

A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.

As of this post:

  • There are already 3 expansions.
  • The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
  • The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.

Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

https://te4.org

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:

  • Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
  • In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
  • Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

I released my first game on Steam and got rid of impostor syndrome!

My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.

Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !

Just bought and played it and had a lot of fun! I love the frequent powerups and the variety of the monsters. The first time I saw the toad was truly terrifying! Lol. I'd love to see some kind of powerup that helps with arial enemies. Maybe the plants can shoot upwards, too? Or you can? Or a flying plant? Or a second bullet that goes up at 45 degrees? Anyway, well worth the super low asking price. Looking forward to playing more! It works perfect on the , too!

Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?

@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

Anticorp ,

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the best mobile game I’ve played since FTL and that was only available on tablet. It’s a wonderful game. I like it so much that I sent the developer $10 just as a sign of appreciation.

dumpsterlid ,

Absolutely, I honestly find the trope of penetrating into repetitive grey dungeon a really unappealing theme for an entire game but Shattered Pixel Dungeon just has such a tight core gameplay loop I end up enjoying myself.

Updates on the Xbox Business

Specal ,

Well you’ve said it yourself, Microsoft are trying to remove that physical limitation to accessing a platform. But Microsoft knows what the market wants, people have been against exclusives for a long time and they want to remove that, I shouldn’t have to spend £300 to play a game when I have equipment already capable of playing a game Infront of me.

So being scared that Xbox is going to disappear is stupid, the consoles might, but Microsoft has been transforming Xbox into a platform for years, starting with the release of windows 7 when they introduced XboxLive for windows alongside halo 2. This has been a long term goal.

If Xbox disappears, so does your digital library and other purchases (some games you can buy once and get on PC as well, but last time I checked, they were few and far in between). I can see that being a concern for people that bought into the Xbox ecosystem for the last few gens.
