hello @thorn dawn

[thorn dawn]

HI

[silver sparrow]

you g woah

[thorn dawn]

I've never even heard of this

let alone 15 of them

[vestal wren]

ive heard of king of fighters but never played

just kinda looks like every other fighter though i.e. street fighter, tekken, etc

[thorn dawn]

graphics look kinda basic too

gotta be a mobile game

[vestal wren]

it looks like randomized character creator output

[idle saffron]

On going saga lmao

[cinder vessel]

i just like King of Fighters character art, never played any of them, lol

[vestal wren]

that dokev game shown yesterday looked really interesting

guy called it an mmo today but the devs already said it isnt one so they messed that up

[cinder vessel]

black desert online devs tho so expect it to be more like work and heavily monetized

[vestal wren]

depends on how online it is. idk anything else theyve done so basing it on mmo when it isnt one isnt a good match

all mmos suck with monetization and stuff

for me at least

[thorn dawn]

I'm getting gacha vibes

[vestal wren]

ohhh this looks cool. reminds me of war of the monsters

and from the fighter game @thorn dawn ?

[thorn dawn]

yeah

the last bit

[vestal wren]

i missed that, maybe glad i did

[cinder vessel]

huh yeah looking over their backtracking about it being a MMO I dunno what's up with Dokev now.

If still free to play tho, Pearl Abyss is notorious for tedious gameplay design

[thorn dawn]

ok, so this should be the developer interviews

[shrewd dock]

forza roamer exocraft sport

[vestal wren]

what else have they done that was tedious? besides BDO

[thorn dawn]

ok so this is the first one

lame

[vestal wren]

and they said it started as an MMO but they changed into having it be an open world adventure thing

yeah you can see who paid for the most time in these shows

[orchid niche]

ffs they need to stop with forza

like bro each time they spend 20 min explaining stuff and then do it again BRUH

[mighty osprey]

Anyone see that lightyear frontier game?

[vestal wren]

i just looked it up, i did see it but it just looked like another survival crafting thing but possibly with worse controls

[mighty osprey]

Lol how can you base the controls off a video with hardly any information

[shrewd dock]

Lightyear looks interesting

[cinder vessel]

currently that appears to be their primary game, besides a mobile MOBA called Shadow Arena

[mighty osprey]

It does.

[shrewd dock]

Getting coop space stardew vibes

[thorn dawn]

they gotta squeeze every penny out of forza I guess given how much money it must have cost to license all the cars

[mighty osprey]

Same with the madden games lol

[vestal wren]

just because it seems like the point is youre in a mech so unless they make it more floaty i feel like it could be clunky. not enough was shown though thats just my worry

[mighty osprey]

I think you can get outside your mech.

[shrewd dock]

Clunky? idk I like weighty mech mechanics lol

[mighty osprey]

Yeah if you’re in a mech it should feel weighty and not floaty. Those things are heavy

[shrewd dock]

MWO feels great to pilot the mechs IMO

[vestal wren]

personal opinion then i think, im not a huge fan of that if its the main form of movement and i need to like gather stuff and plant things or whatever

looks pretty though

[shrewd dock]

Def getting stardew valley in space vibes from it

[cinder vessel]

depends if you're going for something like a sim vibe or more of an arcade vibe tbh

or a hybrid

[vestal wren]

i think stardew focuses more on interactions with people

[thorn dawn]

I hope forza 5 has an electric car that just absolutely smokes everything else but only gets 1/4 round the circuit

[cinder vessel]

like Armored Core has heft but also enough, what's the word, agility maybe, that it feels good to get a handle on

[shrewd dock]

i meant in regards to homesteading and farming

and the tone of the music

[vestal wren]

thats fair

every farming game kinda has the same mechanics though more or less. a grid of tilled dirt that you put stuff in and then harvest eventually. not that theres much else you could add but i dont connect it to any single game

[cinder vessel]

yeah tbh I don't really get farming games, but if you were to reframe as like gardening i might be more interested, lol

[vestal wren]

i like farming in games but i get stressed easily so i like it more when there isnt a time limited aspect like in stardew lol

not that its bad it just makes me feel anxious

[shrewd dock]

I like farming when it is incorporated into a game with a robust economy, not really when its the central focus

[mighty osprey]

Yeah I guess that’s true. It’s hard to tell how controls feel in a video so we will just have to wait for the game to come out and see how it is honestly

[vestal wren]

i cant belive they are still finding things to talk about with forza

[idle saffron]

Cars

More cars

[shrewd dock]

vroom

[idle saffron]

Then some math

[shrewd dock]

ecocraft

[idle saffron]

I like forza tbh

But it is like cod or madden - they don't need to tell us what we are getting

[thorn dawn]

ok

[idle saffron]

We know

[vestal wren]

definitely, i think me saying controls was the wrong word too, so im sorry for that. am more interested in how it feels during the main gameplay loop

[thorn dawn]

here it is

[mighty osprey]

Where is this preshow you guys are watching

[thorn dawn]

come on sean

[vestal wren]

https://www.twitch.tv/gamescom

[mighty osprey]

Thanks

[vestal wren]

no problem

my bet is on horizon or something marvel

[thorn dawn]

marvel is probably likely

gotta pay their license fee too

[vestal wren]

yea

[mighty osprey]

You don’t have to pay a fee I’m sure if marvel contacts the devs themselves. Marvel would just want a cut of the sales

[thorn dawn]

marvel's games are being made by square atm

[mighty osprey]

Marvel has multiple companies working on their games

[thorn dawn]

I thought square had a reasonably exclusive contract?

Square are a big company, they own eidos too who are doing gog

HOW IS EA INDIE

WHAT

GTFO

what even is this

[vestal wren]

publisher? but if thats the case why wouldnt they name the actual developer

[shrewd dock]

im very confused

[winter yew]

lol ea

[vestal wren]

yeah seems kinda shitty to say EA and not the devs..

[winter yew]

Yea

[thorn dawn]

even the dev's aren;t indie

they're part of a studio group

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderful_Group

[winter yew]

:/

[vestal wren]

thats with one l

[snow zenith]

what's happening i'm not watching

[vestal wren]

two lls just gives some random persons twitter thing though so

[idle saffron]

Nanites, shooter

[vestal wren]

zoink is the developer it seems, thunderful is another publishing group, so not a developer

nevermind lol, must suck to be zoink

[snow zenith]

Oh ok

more gun shooter: war game

[idle saffron]

With seasons

[winter yew]

Bleh

[shrewd dock]

And horrible AI

[vestal wren]

a unique idea

[winter yew]

I hope Deltarune gets shown

[shrewd dock]

by horrible I mean extremely passive and boring looking.

[vestal wren]

yeah it didnt look very interesting

[snow zenith]

Looks like it could be made by Ubisoft ecks dee

[thorn dawn]

I look forward to ES6 being named indie game of the year 2024

[vestal wren]

i closed the stream until the indie stuff starts

[winter yew]

sometime this year plz Toby

[vestal wren]

next segment is just 30 minutes of dying light 2

[snow zenith]

it only starts at 7:30 right?

pm

gmt

sorry lol

[vestal wren]

yeah 30 minutes

[thorn dawn]

awesome indies?

!indietime

[stray flume]

Awesome Indie Showcase at Gamescom

Starts in: 35 min 31 sec

[snow zenith]

forget

timezones are a thing

[shrewd dock]

did you hear about ubisofts new indie far cry title?? they only have like 500 devs working on it I think

[vestal wren]

my guess is zoink did primary development then contracted out to thunderful for stuff but in return handed over like all IP rights

[thorn dawn]

and here we were yesterday debating if HG are still indie now they have more than 20 people >_>

[snow zenith]

you know what botehrs me

[mighty osprey]

Well with the new one it’s the developers for xcom which is owned by 2K @thorn dawn

[snow zenith]

"Synced: Off Planet"

it's still Earth

uh

[shrewd dock]

they are indie in the definition that they publish their own games without any involvement from a publishing studio

but they have an insane budget so

idk, i consider HG indie.

[vestal wren]

i dont think indie means you publish your own games

[mighty osprey]

I don’t

[shrewd dock]

in a very dry sense, anything indie simply means self-created/published.

indie music, indie films, self pub novels, etc.

So in that definition, they are indie. But as we all know, its not that simple.

[mighty osprey]

But at some point you leave the indie space

HG is big enough to be considered AAA

[smoky drum]

isn't indie just short for independant?

[shrewd dock]

Usually determined be studio size and budget.

[vestal wren]

yeah

[shrewd dock]

yes thats where it originates from

[mighty osprey]

You don’t think HG has a big budget? They got millions off one game dude. They have like 20 or so employees

[shrewd dock]

I didnt say that

In fact I said they have a huge budget lol especially compared to their studio size.

[mighty osprey]

I just don’t think we should call them Indie anymore. They are in the big leagues now

[shrewd dock]

Big leagues with > 30 people?

[mighty osprey]

Yes

[snow zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-liar-liar-funny-gibberish-blah-gif-12443056

[vestal wren]

i think the lines are blurred especially with the introduction of services like gamepass where developers can get up front deals

[snow zenith]

What I'm hearing from this guy

Sigh, games really got uninspired

[mighty osprey]

Do you see indie developers constantly in the media to show off their game?

[shrewd dock]

Yes lol

[vestal wren]

like they arent being published by them but they are getting support from a large company

[mighty osprey]

Not like hello games was

[thorn dawn]

For me, the classic definition of being an indie developer is purely about working independently of a publisher - not necessarily lacking funds, or having a small team, but not developing the game to make shareholders happy.

[vestal wren]

being in the media wasnt cause they paid for it though

[shrewd dock]

^

[mighty osprey]

Indie to me is like 1-5 people working on a passion project with no budget

[shrewd dock]

Thats how I view indie studios

[idle saffron]

This

[shrewd dock]

Exactly. Even though bungie is huge, they are now technically indie

they self publish their games

[ionic musk]

Indie - shorthand of independent

[snow zenith]

That was a neat Witch King of Angmar cosplay

[shrewd dock]

or game, rather.

[vestal wren]

i think restricting it to something small like 5 people max is way too scrutinous. one man teams exist but shouldnt be the standard for defining it that way

[mighty osprey]

But they make AAA games

Or a game

[crisp sparrow]

guys

[vestal wren]

in what way are you defining AAA though

[crisp sparrow]

girls

[shrewd dock]

All I meant was, outside the working definition of a "studio that is independent of a publisher" a popular indicator is studio size and budget.

[crisp sparrow]

and nonbinaries

may I present to you

[snow zenith]

no

[mighty osprey]

Something that is made by a mid-size to large studio

[vestal wren]

i disagree on the size playing such a big part

[thorn dawn]

As soon as you go and start taking publisher cash, it changes how the game is developed, and forces the issue of profitability. All studios worry about cashflow, but the publisher needs their cut, either from sales or from liquidating the studio and its assets.

That's what makes 'indie' different, to me

[shrewd dock]

HG is very literally an indie studio, that's all I was saying lol

[thorn dawn]

excuse me what

[vestal wren]

studio size being indicative of indie isnt because they necessarily choose to keep it small, its because they have to pay their employees without backing from huge publishers and investors

[ionic musk]

What about 505?

[vestal wren]

yeah that MLK thing is super gross

[ionic musk]

They won best indie publisher

[vestal wren]

505 was for xbox, they just gave funding for publishing it on xbox

[idle saffron]

Disc

[vestal wren]

yeah for physical only

[ionic musk]

Rabbit and Bear studios is releasing Eiyuden under 505

[thorn dawn]

I mean I guess fortnite has a huge racism problem in its population of 8 year olds so maybe it'll help

[ionic musk]

But are still considered indie

[shrewd dock]

Realistically, indie is just a marketing term now.

[crisp sparrow]

I get what they're trying to go for (raising awareness) but I really doubt it will work the way they want to

[shrewd dock]

Doesnt really mean anything

[vestal wren]

publishers existing isnt bad, but yeah indie just means support me because im not a huge company

but once they make a bunch of money most of them will do deals with big companies

[snow zenith]

All I know is I want Silksong and I want it now

[tardy burrow]

It's like the mountain dew naming contest someone will come and fuck it up

[winter yew]

Yea

[shrewd dock]

E L D E N R I N G

OOOOOH

[ionic musk]

I want Eiyuden Chronicles and I want it now

[vestal wren]

hg really hasn't, aside from the crossover thing with mass effect which i didnt really like

[crisp sparrow]

what

I havent followed HK in a long while

silksong STILL isn't out??

[shrewd dock]

nope

[snow zenith]

Nope

Suspect COVID really hit them hard

They're a really

[snow zenith]

A mobile game

[crisp sparrow]

speaking of

My Time In Portia got Portia'd to mobile

[snow zenith]

I didn't enjoy MTIP

Got it for free on Epic so can't complain

[vestal wren]

it kinda looked like a mobile game to begin with

[crisp sparrow]

same it was too slow paced

[vestal wren]

there was another one that i tried and it was just as slow and felt weird to play

[crisp sparrow]

just without the optimization, I had to drop the game to 720p to get smooth enough framerates

[vestal wren]

my time at something

sandrock

[crisp sparrow]

that's their sequel

[vestal wren]

yeah

i think i played like 10 minutes of portia and then stopped because it just felt like some weird demo

[crisp sparrow]

I gave it 30 damn hours

and yeah its just too slow for my liking

[austere lance]

Lol. I think I got about an hour in

[crisp sparrow]

30 hours in stardew, I can clear the main achievements

[snow zenith]

I love Stardew

[crisp sparrow]

and have a spouse

[snow zenith]

Played the shit out of it with my gf

[crisp sparrow]

its so well paced

[austere lance]

Never played it tbh. I watched Spirit play like 20 minutes of it and got bored 😆

[crisp sparrow]

well if you dont like farming sims then stardew is not gonna be your thing either

[snow zenith]

That vault animat

ion

was something else

[shrewd dock]

yeah

[austere lance]

What's that one game where you're a shopkeeper by day and dungeon crawler by night, that game was cool

[crisp sparrow]

though ironically you can play stardew without farming crops

kinda based

[vestal wren]

i liked the music and style of stardew and it felt nice to play. just like i said before the time sensitive stuff made me anxious lol

[snow zenith]

That sounds fun 👀

[vestal wren]

moonlighter

[austere lance]

Yee

[vestal wren]

i loved that game

[crisp sparrow]

oh Soul

[vestal wren]

they added a lot but i havent tried it since

[austere lance]

Moonlighter was cool af

[snow zenith]

Oh hi Troy Baker, voice of.. everything

[crisp sparrow]

I think you already know about Kynseed nvm

it's still getting content updates!

[snow zenith]

Look I don't want to put the guy out of a job

but ffs can you get any other voice actor other than Troy Baker

[crisp sparrow]

I almost thought they'll go on a hiatus because of pandemic but nope

[winter yew]

I bought moonlighter and forgot to play it

[vestal wren]

theres another gmae that reminds me of stardew, sun something

[crisp sparrow]

[shrewd dock]

the blur effect

is so jarring

[snow zenith]

Wait I just realised

indie games

will we see silksong news

[winter yew]

Yeah, bought it day one so def need to play it

[crisp sparrow]

idk why but I have this sudden urge to play modded stardew again

[snow zenith]

is there hope

[smoky drum]

ye, the community is hoping for it

[vestal wren]

i never finished hollow knight but im hoping for it so people can be happy

[snow zenith]

I

[crisp sparrow]

[snow zenith]

I need more Toby Fox music

[ionic musk]

Well I want Takahashi to be able to redo disc 2 of Xenogears

Since we dreaming now

[crisp sparrow]

reminder about Toby

Through weightlifting, exercise, and various equipment I have been able to somewhat increase the stamina of my wrist to an extent. Various solutions have included trackball mice for each hand, using voice to text whenever possible, using a foot pedal to click the mouse, etc.

Now I can use the mouse and keyboard for a certain amount each day provided I take frequent breaks. I wish I could work without stopping. Once the world situation improves I would really like to take physical therapy again and/or investigate surgery to repair my wrist.```

[vestal wren]

oh man that sucks, i didnt know that

[winter yew]

I'm patient, he can take all the time he needs. I hope he fully focuses on his health

[thorn dawn]

(who's toby)

[vestal wren]

toby fox, made undertale

[thorn dawn]

ooh

not a discord user then

[crisp sparrow]

lmao

[winter yew]

He makes wonderful music, true artist

[thorn dawn]

I was concerned there'd been someone I'd forgotten

[snow zenith]

He probably uses Discord

https://tenor.com/view/yes-wheeze-gif-14488819

[crisp sparrow]

he also did one track for pokemon sword and shield

[vestal wren]

the rival theme right?

[crisp sparrow]

no

[vestal wren]

it was some battle theme

oh ok

[crisp sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvm5yDtaGiY

love how you can instantly tell he made it

[thorn dawn]

needs more trumpet

[crisp sparrow]

thanks to this

[snow zenith]

preorder the game

[winter yew]

He's created much better music, but yeah, you can definitely tell he made it

[crisp sparrow]

toby fox connected pokemon with homestuck

[snow zenith]

wheeze

[thorn dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j4sfjIXTA0

Trumpet.

[topaz lodge]

So is Elite Dangerous like NMS on steroids or what?

[thorn dawn]

Fightin' words

[crisp sparrow]

its Freelancer on steroids

[vestal wren]

kind of not the best comparison, different focuses

[snow zenith]

Lmao ok

[topaz lodge]

Never played it but watched a trailer and man, woah

[snow zenith]

Like your Pale King pfp but

ED != NMS on steroids

[topaz lodge]

Hey just asking

[vestal wren]

yeah it was a question not a complaint

[topaz lodge]

Looks like things were borrowed

Kinda but it's space so

[shrewd dock]

ED is more of a space and flight simulator.

[crisp sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOJwB80oCWk

[shrewd dock]

ED is great, but very different from NMS.

[thorn dawn]

oh shit it's starting

[crisp sparrow]

best worst timeline

[snow zenith]

i really

hate

this cover

[shrewd dock]

same

[idle saffron]

Better than their cover they did imo

[topaz lodge]

I'll have to try it out

[thorn dawn]

c'mon everyone

load the stream

let's bitch about how none of these games are indie

[vestal wren]

it wouldnt be a AAA game or huge movie if it didnt have a weird cover of a popular song

[thorn dawn]

😄

[winter yew]

Watchin

[shrewd dock]

think its on sale for like 8 bucks on PSN. Def worth 8 bucks. The galaxy is cool, its a 1:1 recreation of the milky way.

[thorn dawn]

inappropriate for children :3

[topaz lodge]

You guys were talking about Pantheon 5, I can't even beat P3

[thorn dawn]

same, bro

[vestal wren]

i like how it started with a 3-4 minute long ad for a massive IP

[thorn dawn]

IGN gotta pay the bills

[shrewd dock]

OOO falling frontier

[vestal wren]

im sure they are struggling

[shrewd dock]

that game looks awesome

[snow zenith]

"take risks that bigger studios can't justify"
reality: not take risks at all because we like money

[shrewd dock]

the risk: a sidescrolling platformer

[vestal wren]

or survival farming

[snow zenith]

is this

this looks like

blasphemous

[wet warren]

Not much to stick around for with Gamescom at the moment?

[winter yew]

Oh~

[grave elbow]

love this art

[shrewd dock]

its blashphemous

[snow zenith]

is it blasphemous 2

yea it's gotta be

[vestal wren]

why not just dlc

[snow zenith]

idk

[thorn dawn]

ok cool

game updates

that means there's a chance

[shrewd dock]

dont give me hope

[idle saffron]

HYPE

[shrewd dock]

NO

[idle saffron]

Oh wait wrong channel

[vestal wren]

i dont think theres a chance, they arent on the list

[grave elbow]

theres never been an update annouced through a conference has there?

[umbral karma]

lmao

[snow zenith]

blasphemous ii in 2023?

neat

[thorn dawn]

I've decided

I'm going to become a game developer

[umbral karma]

"mike you gotta wear your flamingo shirt"

[thorn dawn]

[thorn dawn]

it's sequel will be one two

[austere lance]

It's going about as well as you'd expect

[grave elbow]

im surprised almost every single game gets delayed yet none come out early

[winter yew]

I'm gonna make Eight

[crisp sparrow]

when will they add George Floyd as a playable character

[shrewd dock]

why is that surprising

[vestal wren]

that guy must be sweating so much

[umbral karma]

good timing on the waves tho

[snow zenith]

sir can u breathe

[grave elbow]

i would think at least one game in history would come out earlier than the initial release date

[shrewd dock]

inhales

[vestal wren]

finish late -> not done, needs to delay, happens a lot without announcements behind the scenes
finish early -> fix more bugs

[austere lance]

Psychonauts 2 just came out a day early, lol

[snow zenith]

Ooooo

I like Far

[crisp sparrow]

its always better to stick to release date, but a lot of games have released a day earlier just like example above

[grave elbow]

i like Close smh

[shrewd dock]

thats not how scheduling releases works lol it would be a nightmare logistically for everyone if suddenly the studio was like "yeah so remember that release date? SIKE"

[grave elbow]

that happens constantly when games get delayed

[austere lance]

I'm serious, Psychonauts 2 released a day early 😆

[vestal wren]

thats different then moving it up though

[shrewd dock]

^

[crisp sparrow]

yeah that's the case with quite a few games that you can preorder on steam

it'll install a day early

sometimes being playable

[winter yew]

Looks like a cute game, don't know what they're saying cause I have to watch without sound

[vestal wren]

moving it farther is just canceling and getinng more time, moving it up would mean somehow securing resources to launch earlier on a shorter time constraint. a couple of days or whatever is one thing but thats all

[crisp sparrow]

NMS came out a day early

[grave elbow]

i mean when a game says something vague like "coming 2024" and it ends up coming out 2022

something like that

[austere lance]

Y'all were talking about games never coming out early, so I pointed out that Double Fine said "Fuck it" and unlocked their game a day early cuz it was ready and they were bored. They even tweeted about it 😆

[crisp sparrow]

I think you can just sit on that thought for a while and end up answering your question

[umbral karma]

a couple days if you count the leaks lol

[vestal wren]

i dont think that would really happen unless the game got dumped and they just tied up current progress

[grave elbow]

like if a dev team got doubled mid development and the game got finished way ahead of schedule

[charred badge]

I'm pretty sure publishers set the absolute minimum possible time frame... or less

[idle saffron]

HOLY SHIT THEY ARE GOING LEFT IN A FAR GAME

Really upping the ante

[snow zenith]

GLEAM PLS

PLS

[crisp sparrow]

me

I was planning on returning them soon!

sorry about that

[umbral karma]

is this YIIK 2 or something

[thorn dawn]

I like the art style

[winter yew]

Yea

[vestal wren]

it looks like zomboid

[shrewd dock]

this game looks fun to screw around in

[grave elbow]

looks kinda coo

[shrewd dock]

OH

[thorn dawn]

[grave elbow]

made by the disco elysium guys?

[shrewd dock]

Disco elysium??

[grave elbow]

thats what this game looks like

[shrewd dock]

it totally is

[winter yew]

I loved hiding bodies in metal gear, I'll probably enjoy this game

[grave elbow]

i love hiding bodies irl

ill probably enjoy this game

[shrewd dock]

👀

[smoky drum]

neat, a strategy game

[grave elbow]

nms rts

[shrewd dock]

u mean stellaris?

[smoky drum]

looks turn based to me

[shrewd dock]

this looks neat tho

[grave elbow]

no mans cries

cantata

[vestal wren]

nice artstyle

[grave elbow]

new text layer

[smoky drum]

new text layer

[thorn dawn]

new text layer

[grave elbow]

my favorite game

[vestal wren]

i watched vinesauce play this

its originally portugese so this must be english release

[grave elbow]

the voice sounds like kinda like joel lol

or whatever the vinesauce guys name is

[winter yew]

Okay I'm playing that

That was cute

[thorn dawn]

looks like something gerry anderson would have put together

[smoky drum]

I liked the style of it

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew https://youtu.be/Fu5659LN9GA

[grave elbow]

did he just say WAP

oh cyberpunk 2078

[idle saffron]

no

[snow zenith]

This looks

shitty

[grave elbow]

ghostrunner sidescroller

[thorn dawn]

I'm just seeing a generic side scroller tbh

[winter yew]

Yea

[vestal wren]

it looks like it plays nicely but yeah not very unique looking

[winter yew]

Rad

[grave elbow]

yay insurance

[winter yew]

I have the sound on now

[idle saffron]

That's how I feel about almost all sides scrollers tbh

[thorn dawn]

Pretty much the same, but I did enjoy the side scrolling elements of NiER

[idle saffron]

I keep checking them out, but they don't hook me like they used to

Planet Alpha was the latest

[shrewd dock]

Furi had some cool bullet hell and sidescrolling too

[umbral karma]

ducc

[crisp sparrow]

I havent felt interested in sidescrollers too after Celeste

feeling pretty done with that genre now

[winter yew]

That kh axel figure was cute

[thorn dawn]

ugh, backups have kicked off at work, stream has degraded to SD

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, I was gonna replay Nier Automata now that I have a useful console 😆

[thorn dawn]

Is NMS spooky?

[shrewd dock]

uh

desolation?

[smoky drum]

biological horror update

or whatever they're called again

[shrewd dock]

crunch

[winter yew]

The text fade in for Frontiers was similar to how Alien titles fade in so maybe

[vestal wren]

i tried the demo for this, combat was a little weird

[grave elbow]

the derelict freighters are kinda creepy atmosphere wise

[wet warren]

No Frontiers trailer yet 😔

[smoky drum]

that too

[grave elbow]

but theres no real threat

[vestal wren]

@wet warren its not gonna happen so dont worry about it

[crisp sparrow]

also I really like Binding of Isaac but I don't think I'll ever play any other game of that sorts

[wet warren]

😢

[grave elbow]

the creatures and robots in the derelict freighters are kinda underwhelming horrorwise

[crisp sparrow]

eh I think they nailed the atmosphere

[grave elbow]

whoa this game looks cool

[crisp sparrow]

but once you find out how whiny pissy they are the illusion is lost, I agree there

[wet warren]

The atmosphere in derelicts are nice but you can just blast through the enemies so easily

[grave elbow]

yeah, a real monster would be interesting, but i know nms tries to be lighthearted so i dont think it would happen

conscript is going on the wishlist for sure

[snow zenith]

WW1 game

nice

Gives me Darkwood vibes for some reason

[winter yew]

I love pixel art

[vestal wren]

kinda has a resident evil vibe

[thorn dawn]

FENTON

Jesus Christ

[grave elbow]

this is hurty my brain

[vestal wren]

thats an interesting mechanic

[crisp sparrow]

my problem with these games

[smoky drum]

isn't this like twodee and topdee

[crisp sparrow]

they look so cool and unique

[smoky drum]

or whatever it's called?

[crisp sparrow]

but I get bored after 5 mins

idk why

maybe puzzle progression games aren't for me

[glass plinth]

Hrmm, Dokev looked beautiful, even if I wont play the game

Oh nice, roots of pacha is doing a playthrough, cant wait

really nice devs on that game

[snow zenith]

That was a lot less quirky than the guy thought it was

[crisp sparrow]

but I will NEVER get tired of meta games

Terrorbane looks right up my alley

[wet warren]

Interesting

[shrewd dock]

Meta: the game

[snow zenith]

But I like this game looks fun

[thorn dawn]

This looks great

[vestal wren]

looks really interesting

[winter yew]

100% checking that one out

[snow zenith]

[umbral karma]

[smoky drum]

[glass plinth]

Putting that on my list

[snow zenith]

BEAVER

WITH A LIGHT

[idle saffron]

Turn based stand there, can't do it

[snow zenith]

HE JUMP

[vestal wren]

i love turn based but a lot of games do it in a lame way

[thorn dawn]

this is the same studio that did the game with the dog right?

[smoky drum]

turn based can be really good

[glass plinth]

Looks like last campfire

[shrewd dock]

yeah, like Battle Brothers

[idle saffron]

Yes

[glass plinth]

Wildermyth turned based was great

[vestal wren]

star renegades did it in a cool way

[snow zenith]

Next game I'm buying is gonna be Valheim but Conscript and Terrorbane are def going on the wishlist

[glass plinth]

Valheim ? Man, I love that game to much

[shrewd dock]

ooo seeing nms frontiers in the chat

[snow zenith]

I wish I had people to play with but fuck it

[thorn dawn]

never read the chat

especially the one here

[snow zenith]

Lol they disabled the YT chat

[vestal wren]

smart

[thorn dawn]

Lol they disabled the YT chat swastika live feed

[idle saffron]

From the people in hype channel lol

[glass plinth]

You can always play Valheim with me Code, but its fine solo

[thorn dawn]

Didn't know my neighbour was there

[snow zenith]

immersive story mode
