Sky is fun but you know it hooks you with those candles. The only evolution you make clear here is they’ve gotten better at disguising the loot boxes and cash grabs.

I’m just starting “blasphemous” and “inscription”. I just completed “Axiom Verge”.

GOG recently had Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and all the story DLCs on sale for $35. I’ve been working my way through that lately.

My kid loves roblox because its controls are pretty much completely ideal for her ipad and apple pencil

Roblox is entirely unplayable to me because its control schemes inevitably break all my millennial expectations and I don’t have great internet connectivity at home anymore. It hurts me and makes me angry, lol. ANY game that properly works with an Xbox controller is superior for my personal experience because of decades of that paradigm. Touchscreen controls are death and other control schemes are second class citizens in the modern landscape

I don’t think of gaming as socializing - that’s your daughter’s metric.

Not all game players are the same, which is why there are so many different categories of games.

To me it is the inverse of socializing. It’s an escape to a world where I don’t have to deal with people.

I just feel bad for a lot of kids because maybe their phone or tablet has the game they want but often they are playing using just the touchscreen and that interface sucks for anything that requires joystick or button controls (where the touchscreen just has vague areas with pretend joysticks and buttons).

It just does.

I get that kids get used to it, but it’s like getting used to being kicked in the nuts when you have the option of not being kicked in the nuts.

Bought Baldurs gate: Dark alliance from g.o.g and playing that. A bit expensive for its age and its a direct port but at least no need to emulate it.

Cyberpunk, brothers and brotato at the minute. Thinking about death stranding or shadow of the tomb raider next

Close to 100%ing Gungrave G.O.R.E and I have conflicting feelings.

Apparently, it was meant to be an open world game—whoever thought this was a good idea should stay away from arcade games for the rest of their career—and they decided to make a ton of changes late in the game's development to turn it into a linear game, which clearly affected the game's design and length.

Stage transitions are needlessly confusing—a lot of open doors and rooms that lead nowhere, which makes it really confusing when I've successfully chained an area and I'm trying to move on to the next one as quickly as possible before I lose my chain.

Sometimes, even enemies get lost and arrive where they're supposed to be too late, which also wastes my beat count.

Some things don't add up: some chapters don't end on boss fights and some stage transitions are… empty elevators with nothing to shoot at.

There's also some platforming, for some reason.

On the other hand, especially on Hard and G.O.R.E difficulties, it's fucking Gungrave and it rocks! Shooting is satisfying, melee attacks are satisfying, and demolition shots are satisfying.

It's a miracle we got a new Gungrave game, and I'm thankful for that. I can't deny though: some moments I wished I was playing the original instead.

I’ve just discovered retroachievements.org so I’m going to revisit my early Nintendo days… Again!

!gameart

Have you done other characters?

You say “your style”, so my first thought is to wonder what else you’ve done since must’ve done enough to land on a style.

Edit: ah, found your other posts! Feel free to cross-post to gameart, we want to see and celebrate all the art that games both contain and inspire.

Thanks. Sure, i have many characters. I will post it daily (Or in few days)… One by one. ;)

I like your Heather Mason. You’ve found a perfect level of detail to make these work.

Like they’re just barely “too detailed”, making them just a little unsettling, the way horror game art should be.

I knew once kliksphilip makes a video about it would be one of the best ones to communicate the intent of the initiative.
