Yeah, every NMS update recently has really looked like prep for LNF. I'm really excited to see that game come out, even if it's in an early state.
And they called out the Voyagers update as being prep for medieval style ships that require multiple players to crew in LNF

i dont like the voyager update, so i hope LNF has more than that superficial build system

the truth about samuari and their "code" is so funny.

what? that they where actualy feudal lords, cruel politician leaders instead of the noble pictured iron willed warriors of fantasy storys? 😅

that the code of bushido was invented long after their actual original roles had run their course
that bushido was only invented to keep their cushy seats.
i think bushido is the right word.
it was invented in a time of peace.

bushido aka the credo of the warrior or way of the warrior... yes very different from what samurai actualy where and represented.
Most people see them in the same romantic light as they see knights. even though both where actually quite similar in ranks and function... and cruelty

indeed
i am not well versed in the truth behind chivalry though. not sure if it was a "later thing" or not.

looks beautiful, and nice music. friend crashed when he tried the demo and i didn't. but the only thing is i can't tell what there is to do after you get the flying ship and go to a few islands... because it's a demo... you don't get any idea of the scope of the gameplay with a demo... which is probably why i never try demos. i just wait until a game releases in EA, and check a gameplay video out and decide if the game has future potential or not. the demo was actually less informative than that.
i mean full release is so close
i might as well wait until then before buying

or just do what Ship of Heroes did and pick the worst possible subscription method for a game not named WoW and commit video game suicide.
tepid wadi
Ship of Heroes kinda dug its own grave, for sure. They started from a premise that was going to be REAL hard to deal with. Making a superhero game when you'd have to license all the superhero things from Marvel/DC was going to be impossible, so their visuals had to be "we have superheroes at home" and that's a very tough sell to players who are naturally going to want to make things that resemble their favorite heroes.

frank sonnet
@vague galleon what would be so bad with adding early fire arms to enshrouded?
tranquil cove
These guys are pumping out content. It's awesome.
yeah but part of that is predicated on the fact that they dont fix qol, bugs, or add new mechanics to ship building/base building... because they likely have engine limitations and don't want to dive that deep into the code.
so imo we're getting content that's a compromise from what would really be cool
like fast content isnt always ideal, lots of games do it, and i still play the game 5 years later for 1 month to catch up and then dip out for another 5 years. which is equivalent to taking 5 years to release an update ironically.
plus lots of content being added in a short time can feel overwhelming to people too
like NMS is updating within a framework but i'd rather they keep editing the framework to make the game better in a meaningful way - also there must be a reason they cant stomp out a bug for 8 years.

My hot take is that amazon should never have gotten into games in the first place. The corporate cost:ROI will never be high enough unless you hit some fortnite gold. But to do that you have to have actually passionate/creative people and importantly let them cook. Which a big company like Amazon is just never gonna let them do.
I'm sure there are plenty of talented and passionate game devs at amazon who could create amazing things, if given the time and resources to do so.

I think emote and talking with coms helps a lot. Also I put my weapon away to signal that im not about to shoot on site
One of my runs, I ran into a guy and he was like dont shoot and we teamed up together and ran into two other guys who were like "Friend or foe?!" We thought we were being baited for a sec but it turns out they were friendly and the four of us extracted together XD

foe = a friendly doe
i would obviously tell them i am foe
i would open up dialogue by doing dad puns
surely nobody would shoot me
as you are walking along you meet 2 strangers "friend or foe?" they ask. you respond in an 8 year old shrieking voice "FRIEND! HEY GUYS I JUST LOVE THIS GA... suddenly a hail of bullets proceeds to hit you from their direction.
those 8 year olds can get no break
tbh this is why i dont play PVP games, i cant resist trolling everyone i meet with words
someone should do a study of how many times they get shot when using 12 year old voice, regular voice, and sultry woman voice.

i dont like extraction games
so i'm turning your robot dinosaur game into a survival builder
where you build your own robot dinosaur
and then fight other dinosaurs
tepid wadi
No complaints here, I love that type of game too
tranquil cove
both real dinosaurs, and robot ones
you fight them with your built dinosaur
though i dont know how far you can take that concept
becuase you would need good build ideas that allow decent freedom
but also that don't become too wacky
so i would need to do a lot of dinosaur research to find out how many viable parts there are and combinations.
tepid wadi
I mean, you'd treat different dino "chassis" (like stego vs trex) as different vehicle types with different styles and availability of attachment points, so you could slot different weapons and enhancements to make differnet builds of dinos work
You'd have fast, mobile types that are "motorcycles" (Raptor, Gallimimus, etc) with fewer attachment points, but fast. And then raptors might have a special ability where they can grab onto enemies, vs Gallimimus could have a super sprint...
IDK honestly the game kinda writes itself.
"Tanks" (Stego, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus)
"Carriers" (Bronto, Diplo)
"War Machines" (Rex, Giga)

to be fair i also think pings are annoying, i tend to mute all servers, and i also dont usually like @ tting people, so it makes sense for me to use the no ping reply - just it takes getting used to doing it.

I think one of the things that actually keeps Steam as top dog as far as digital storefronts is that they have zero incentive to enshittify their store to make people spend more money.

they are trying to make as much as money as possible
their store gives off electronic arts vibes
not sure what you are talking about
the only difference might be that they provide better quality products and services on top of that.
tepid wadi
There's a big difference between "trying to make as much money as possible" and "legally obligated to make as much money as possible as fast as possible", which is the difference between a private and public company.
tranquil cove
steam is trying to get you to spend as much money as possible, the fact that people dont feel that or recognize it, means they are doing a good job, and a good job of fooling people. that's why i started making a list of how much i spend on games each year.
and i gave myself a budget of 150 a year
and ironically because they are doing such a good job, they don't need to push people to buy things.. but yah everything is designed so you buy and spend more and find more things to buy.
tepid wadi
I mean, yeah that's kind of key to a marketplace. But what I mean is they don't have an exterior entity pushing them to absolutely get as much money as fast as possible, which other storefronts like Microsoft and EA have. That usually results in a lot of anti-consumer practices that aren't just about getting people to spend money, but about TRICKING them into spending more money than they intend to.
tranquil cove
yeah.. but they are all pretty much using the same tactics
like how isn't steam tricking people? but EA or microsoft is in their store front?
Epic games is a private owned company too
but they suck
so....
😆
tepid wadi
Yeah but that's just terribly UI, not s hady practices 😝
tranquil cove
i understand what you mean though
private companies can innovate, take more risks, and plan for long term growth success.
public companies need to please shareholders quarterly.
otherwise stock price drops and they lose value in the company.
which can lead to rushed development of things, and therefore lesser quality or bad decisions (though typically less risky decisions) and priority of short term over longer term.

Yeah, exactly. Private companies avoid that spiral

how can it be isometric and also 3rd person 🤔
timber prism
Isn't isometric always third person????
tranquil cove
Isn't isometric always third person????
not really
it's associated more with fixed camera angle
Isometric perspective is typically associated with a fixed camera angle that shows a 3D effect, often used in third-person views, but it is not exclusively third-person. It can also be used in games that feature 2D graphics, where the viewpoint is angled to create a pseudo-3D appearance.
or from the wiki
Isometric video game graphics are graphics employed in video games and pixel art that use a parallel projection, but which angle the viewpoint to reveal facets of the environment that would otherwise not be visible from a top-down perspective or side view, thereby producing a three-dimensional (3D) effect.
timber prism
Gotcha. I thought third person just meant not through the eyes of your character
Not specific to a certain camera angle
Thanks
tranquil cove
like i mistakenly thought kerbal space program was isometric because its third person, but then i looked it up and its a dynamic camera angle 3d game
tranquil cove
Gotcha. I thought third person just meant not through the eyes of your character
yeah third person is defined as "as long as you are looking at your character it's third person" (from just looking it up now)
so a top down game = third person
side scroller? third person lol
timber prism
Yeah. Anything not first person
tranquil cove
Most third-person games ARE NOT isometric, because they use dynamic 3D cameras with perspective.
that was kerbal space program
and my mistake i made with assuming its isometric
timber prism
So.... isometrics are third person then
Since they are not first person. The angle has nothing to do with it being considered third person
Or it your AI not saying something is third person bc isometric can be 2.5D?
tranquil cove
Or it your AI not saying something is third person bc isometric can be 2.5D?
it says
2D gameplay + 3D graphics:
The game looks 3D (models, lighting, depth), but the actual movement is limited to a 2D plane.
= 2.5D example: trine3D gameplay + 2D visual viewpoint:
The game world is 3D, but the camera is fixed in a way that makes it look like 2D or isometric, often using an orthographic camera.
=2.5D example: diabloFake 3D in a 2D engine:
Some older games used technical tricks to simulate 3D within a 2D engine.
=2.5D example: DOOM
isometric can be 2D , 2.5D or 3D. or a mix of 2D and 3D. which = 2.5D i guess

i've mostly been a 1 and done player
i expect to play a game 1 time and never have to touch it again
i dislike multiple path games for example
mostly because i dont believe replayability exists, after beating a game 1 time, even if there are other paths, the game is already boring.
what you said is how a rogue lite is supposed to work, but most dont execute it in a way where the game is still as fun as the first time playing.

Well, not everyone likes everything, you don't have to like the genre for it to be a GOTY candidate.
tranquil cove
and it becomes more of a grind session
tranquil cove
Well, not everyone likes everything, you don't have to like the genre for it to ...
but they dont even nominate within genres
so their nominations are all trash to me
tepid wadi
They do, that's the list for "overall game of the year"
tranquil cove
they might be good games, but they nominated games i would never play
tepid wadi
There's also "multiplayer game of the year" and other subcategories
tranquil cove
they should nominate game of the year, in 10 categories
its possible to have a building game of the year, and an FPS game of the year?
tepid wadi
They DO. But they also do an overall game of the year, which is what that list is.
tepid wadi
The only reason I don't think Death Stranding should be on that list is even the people I know who loved the first one barely even registered the second one coming out.
tranquil cove
i was looking at oscar lists of movies from 2006 to 2025 right?
every year it has movies i would never see, or think are that good
its wild, yet its the "best movies" for those years
yet i can think of better 10/10 movies, whereas if i tried to slog through those oscar lists, i bet i would actually rate some of them 6/10
probably because the oscars might prioritize artistry or something or popular opinion
maybe a movie is 10/10 artistic but actually 7/10 as something i wouldn't really want to watch again.
tepid wadi
Yeah, I mean there are movies that I've seen that are great that I'd never really want to watch again.
tranquil cove
like this is a 2005 oscar movie
and for 2005 i have only 2/7 rated
2025 i've watched 0/11 oscar movies lol
actually probably true, i stopped really liking movies after 2010 probably
basically i dont think most people would list these things as their top game or movie if they had to give a list
tepid wadi
Actually, I'm pretty sure everything on the list EXCEPT Death Stranding 100% deserves to be there.
This has been a year if really stellar releases and all of those games were either highly anticipated (and very good) or surprise drops (and very good)
tranquil cove
well for 2024 movies, i saw oppenheimer, barbie, godzilla minus one, and i know what poor things was - didn't see it though, but thats only 4 out of 10 movies, the rest i never even heard of, and of the 4 movies i saw, they are mid... they aren't special amazing movies... they are one and dones. the only one that is arguable is godzilla minus one.
i think the same trend follows with the game of year of games
do they have older game of the year lists?
tepid wadi
I assume they do somewhere
tranquil cove
the problem is probably partly one of accessibility
i cant buy every game on the market every year
so 80%-90% of the games on these lists i will not have played
i dont know what any of these are
wukong meh
elden ring meh
final fantasy i heard of, but know least about
the rest i never heard of
tepid wadi
That sounds like a you problem. All of the games on that list were crazy popular.
tranquil cove
popular doesnt make it good
tepid wadi
It's what makes it game of the year, it's literally a popularity contest
tranquil cove
apparently not that popular since the one that won i never heard of
finite saffron
Are you guys talking about the steam awards? Cause yeah those are literally a popularity contest haha, the games that get the most votes and the games that are most played are pretty much the same list
tepid wadi
🤷♀️ Again, you don't have to pay attention to all aspects of the game industry. There will always be parts of it that you haven't heard of because it's not your job to engage with it.
But that doesn't mean there aren't huge swaths of people voting for games that aren't on your radar
tranquil cove
yeah so the good games are voted by a class of people who can afford them, so it's already class divided
and also its divided by the fact that since i cant access every game every year, my tastes will have developed differently, based on older titles
but the movie problem is interesting
because i can access every movie, but i guess there is so much volume of movies, you cant watch them all
in every oscar list i only watched like 20% of the movies that won
and never heard of at least half of them
i just find it weird in all these lists
they are games i will never play
2023 list
tepid wadi
Perhaps you just have very particular tastes that don't align with mainstream gaming. There's nothing wrong with that.
tranquil cove
games i never heard of, and would never play even if free, are winning
i do own and did play BG3, but thats it
and i dont think it was game of the year 😆
i mean i guess it was
but only because the bar was low i guess
2022
stray was probably good, but i never bought it 😄 wanted to try it though
im waiting to hit a year, where i'm like, i recognize every game, and every game is good.
it might be in 90s 🤣
tepid wadi
Out of all of the GOTY lists you posted, the only one I don't know off the top of my head is Celeste
tranquil cove
Out of all of the GOTY lists you posted, the only one I don't know off the top o...
i know celeste, i bought it, but its a platformer and i dont enjoy those
as a paltformer its designed very well
ew dragon age, and dark souls 2
what crappy games imo
2014 was a bad year, eh
thats it, 2014 is the last year?
tepid wadi
I feel like gaming didn't start to become more mainstream until like 2008-10 or so, so it makes sense that there weren't game awards that far back.
tranquil cove
oh man if i highlight in these lists
2015, witcher 3, okay probably okay game, fallout 4, okay,
bloodborne? the hell is this?
metal gear heard of the franchise and played 1, and 2 i think? but no idea if 5 is good, chances are it's bat sh... crazy because thats how metal gear is in general lol
none of the supermario stuff i ever played, potentially good, just no idea about it.
dragon age - i know of the original one, i wouldnt personally vote this game of the year, given all the better rpgs i can list. (though from different years).
batyonetta never heard,
dark souls 2, yuck
hearthstone (vaguely familiar, cant attach a gameplay to it)
middle earth (i just know what lotr is).
tepid wadi
Shadow of Mordor had a revolutionary system that got patented and no one has been able to use it because of that.
tranquil cove
zelda winning in 2017 probably good, i just played like 2 zeldas in my life though, the snes version, and a gamecube version i think? 🤣 and then pubg i heard of, the rest no idea.
tepid wadi
Yeah, IDK what to tell you. You just might not like modern gaming.
tranquil cove
i dont buy triple A games i guess
that or i need 700 games like my friend
to keep up
i have 331 more than enough
frank sonnet
tbh the game awards are not worth caring about
tepid wadi
I'm probably just more in tune with the industry because I work in it though
frank sonnet
tbh the game awards are not worth caring about
like what's in it for us gamers? nothing.
tranquil cove
i played the outerworlds
its not that good?
mass effect 2 was better
yet its nominated for game of the year, game of the year is just the best that year, doesn't mean good game overall
pretty sure i got outerworlds free on epic played it for 2 hours and never touched it again
im not saying it's bad, it was fine
borderlands 3 was more interesting and 2 was more interesting than 3
and fallout new vegas more interesting than fallout 4 lol
id rather play new vegas a third time, than outerlands once
i dunno man
new games don't have it for me
misty arch
tepid wadi
That's awesome, I remember the dude saying "Just sell it back to me, I'll pay for it"
tranquil cove
why would they sell it?
could they not develop a game with it?
thats easy millions of dollars in the bag for whoever completes, hell i would have bought it, and went into debt to hire a dev team, because i'd come out a few million richer by the end.
tepid wadi
Riot cancelled it, because of big publisher BS, basically. And the original team lead wanted to keep making it.
rustic nexus
I think the early release of Ashes of Creation on Steam is going to end up being a disaster that could destroy its long-term potential.
tranquil cove
thats easily going to make whoever finishes it millions
finite saffron
could they not develop a game with it?
Riot is extremely picky about the quality of the games they release, my hunch is that Hytale was not up to "the riot standard"
tranquil cove
as long as they do a good job
tranquil cove
Riot is extremely picky about the quality of the games they release, my hunch is...
so cant they delay release until the standards are better?
or engine limitations
if they have a poor engine, the game is dead without a port to better engine
frank sonnet
its not that good?
its decent enough fun but at its core its just watered down new vegas and feels like like a rejected fallout game that was reworked into a original game from the design of the robots to the weapons to the terminals to its mediocre version of vats to the slowmo kills
finite saffron
so cant they delay release until the standards are better?
They could, but if the project wasn't on a good trajectory it might be more economically viable to just cut their losses (which is what they did). It's actually very common in the games industry. My last studio had a project that got cut that players never even saw or heard about, but years of development were spent on it.
development is really expensive, and if it doesn't go according to plan it can often be better to just cut your losses and move onto something better.
tranquil cove
imagine if the guys making terreria said that
or minecraft
some games can have potential to win back all your losses, i think hytale has that
finite saffron
both of those games were extremely successful very early on in development, with incredibly small teams, so yeah it would have been weird if they did that lol
hytale was in development hell for close to a decade on a massive budget, huge losses
tranquil cove
that sounds like mismanagement though
finite saffron
yeah it totally was
tranquil cove
unless, its a bad custom made engine or something
finite saffron
the engine did seem to have a lot of fundamental flaws, I was reading through their dev blogs and it was really behind the times with a lot of advancements that have been made in the industry. My suspicion is that might been part of why Riot cut ties with the project.
tranquil cove
as soon as hytale releases they get sued by microsoft
is the ending of this story
i mean if they released what they had in that video i would buy it for $30 even if broken and buggy
it has potential
if it's released on good engine, no bugs, and runs well, which i guess is the point of game development in the first place lol. then it will be a good success.
frank sonnet
its decent enough fun but at its core its just watered down new vegas and feels ...
also as much as the characters grew on me their not as good or memorable as the characters of new vegas its been a while since i last played but i still rember raul and prim slim

ok i unironically dig this
love me some madmax post apocalyptic car games
and setting as a whole
tepid wadi
Yeah, they did some cool stuff:
-Vehicles had front weapons (Flamethrowers, chainsaws, etc), turret weapons and rear weapons (mines, etc)
-Different vehicles had different bonuses (tanks, motorcycles, etc)
-Different classes got different available chassis and attachments (the "healer" could get a healing mine that they placed for other players to run over)
-There were 3 factions with distinctly different styles (humans had low health, but their cars had shields. Biomeks had INSANE armor, but it didn't regenerate, and mutants had no shields and moderate health but their cars regenerated)
-Almost every structure in the game was destructible, so while you were smashing around blowing up enemies, you'd also be blowing up terrain/buildings and stuff. I still remember that the ONE thing that wasn't destructible for some reason were power lines, they'd just stop you in your tracks.
It was unironically really fun, it was super chaotic to play but you were cruising around doing quests, killing AI enemies and stuff. But like... nobody bought it.
frank sonnet

someone try this concept out again i feel like more people would like it now then back then
tepid wadi
I want to make it, but in the style of Risk of Rain / Megabonk, where it's procgen levels and stuff, but just a single player or co-op adventure mode instead of a MMO
Capturing the "chaos" of the game is something no one has really done, I don't think

i mean i played a fun demo called fumes https://store.steampowered.com/app/2255190/FUMES_Demo/
tepid wadi
Looks like it came out and has overwhelmingly positive reviews, lo
vague galleon
single player. 
tepid wadi
Yeah
One thing I feel like is missing from "horde survival" type games is multiplayer
That sort of game would be so much more fun smashing around with your buddies
tranquil cove
vehicles having front and back weapons is something i played on 2D games in the 90s
also mario kart?
not a new idea
tepid wadi
Nope, not a new idea at all
frank sonnet
not a new idea
no one said it was lol
tepid wadi
BUT interesting things can be done with it that haven't been done
tranquil cove
i played castol racing which had rockets, nuke, mines, oil spill, etc.
nuke wasnt a front weapon
it was a place anywhere on map weapon
also every structure being destroyable is something every game thought up from the beginning of time
and game devs still can't do it
we're not really there yet with technology
tepid wadi
That's not true at all
vague galleon
Red Faction 1 and guerilla
tepid wadi
Fortnite does it, Auto Assault did it, Red Faction did it
vague galleon
enshrouded
tranquil cove
not for 3d games
tepid wadi
Those are all 3D games
vague galleon
red faction
tepid wadi
Red Faction Guerilla was awesome
vague galleon
red faction did it.
tranquil cove
fornite doesn't qualify for me
vague galleon
i coukd never get into guerilla i dont know why
tranquil cove
every structure is not destroyable, only player built ones
vague galleon
tried a few times
tepid wadi
That's not true
Structures on the map are destroyable
The terrain isn't, but structures are
tranquil cove
yeah terrain too
not just the 2% of building they put on a map
there is nothing here to do destroy
it's empty
tepid wadi
Have you actually played it?
tranquil cove
i can make an empty map, with 1 destroyable building and say i did it
tepid wadi
There was a skyscraper area where you could take out the bottom floor of the skyscrapers and they'd completely collapse
tranquil cove
except thats not what i mean
vague galleon
have i mentioned red faction?
tranquil cove
im talking about a fully 3d game where everything you can see can be destroyed
