What if you found a portal to a parallel universe? What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds? Where it’s the same year, and you’re the same person… but everything else is different? And what if you can’t find your way home?

Love the switch. The only reason I’m still a console gamer at all.
Good question. Presumably games like this will have a server that is proprietary, and the compulsion may simply be to make the server source or executables available, rather than creating anything new
No, generative ai is a blanket term that covers them both. Lots of people are both forcefully opinionated about this topic, and clueless. Like the person you’re responding to
Eh they’ll find something else to whine about
Man this thread is making me mad so I’mma head out
As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.
Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.
Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.
If it helps, this is the first time I hear it 🤷♂️
There’s a Stardew valley mod that does this but it seems development has stalled
Wow that was fascinating, thanks. For those who prefer to read, there was a full transcript!
Dave the Diver! It looks so goofy but give it a shot. It’s got hilarious cutscenes, and a really well executed blend of roguelike, restaurant game, resource management, and story RPG.
My hunch is that those layoffs are going to come from the more peripheral efforts like that malware startup they acquired
Seems really ridiculous to me that they can write an article like this and still use terms like “deathbed,” “barbones console,” etc.
If anything this shows that hardware matters less and less. The game itself is king and Nintendo is really good at it. Beefier hardware has diminishing returns and people who write articles like this seem to have cut their teeth on the big leaps: 8 to 16 to 64 bit and don’t realize that doesn’t really matter anymore.
If it’s a third person game, I’d rather be looking at her ass throughout the playthrough than his.
I’ve only played the first three you mentioned, but I would say they’re all far from minimal focus on combat…
I haven’t played this game and I’m not really apprised of what the players’ dissatisfactions are, as I’ve not been paying attention to it.
But as a working game dev, he is 100% right about that. One thing that seems… unique to gamers as hobbyists is how confident they are in their opinions and assumptions about the how and the why. It’s pretty frustrating. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the outcome. But 97% of the rest of what gamers have to say beyond that is toilet paper.
That would be a fun can of worms
