Rakqoi, 13 dni temu do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

Oh wow this gave me a wave of nostalgia for my first experience developing games. I took a class in like middle school for game development, and they provided the software Alice for the course.

I fondly remember trying to make a first person, open world sandbox RPG, but if I remember correctly, the engine not being able to create new instances of anything severely limited what I wanted to do. Also, the engine had a ton of floating point precision issues and everything would be rotated in funny ways after the game was running for a long time. And I hated the visual programming and got so frustrated that I couldn’t just type the scripts instead haha… that’s when I switched to GameMaker

Anyway, I was reminded of it because the first enemies in my game were also sword-wielding skeletons just like in the OP screenshots. I appreciate the peak into your past, and I’m thankful for that nostalgia hit :3

Schedule I. I did everything the game has to offer at the present moment but i still go back to spend an ingame day or 2 making silly drug mixes, selling, doing dumb stuff like pickpocketing cops… It’s just pleasant.

I’m sad I no longer have my files from my time spent in college doing games design, would’ve loved to see if I could do better now.

Invisible walls. And I’m not saying the ones that are like way up out of the way that you have to nearly use glitches to get to. I’m talking the “walking down a city street and then you’re stopped in the middle of the road for no reason” kind. Like, you put area there that I can see, I want to go there. If you don’t want me to go there at least put something there to indicate it’s the edge of the map.

Looks like unturned

Did you use any engine or framework for this, or built it from pure code and gl libs?

This was built inside of Unity.

Save&quit at any time

So I can just boot up the game, play for 15 minutes and go do other stuff

Yeah, the steam deck does this, it’s a great feature.

Looks glorious.

That’s pretty good for a first attempt, most people’s first games are barely functional, if at all, so I’d consider this a win.

If the wants the Steam Deck, and she’s used it before, I’d say get her the Steam Deck.

Subtitles. I wish I could have suuttiles for halo, the early games. It’s getting better these days, and should be a setting accessible before starting the game (not after the intro movie, I’m looking at you vanilla wow).

Get whichever platform has the games she wants to play.

Can you remote into a Steam Deck? I’m guessing yes but I’m not sure.

Switch 2 is an easy win in your mother’s case, though. People see emulation but they don’t see the hoops you have to jump through, and the Switch 2 is a solid machine, it just doesn’t have the breadth of games.

I kinda want a Deck (I only have a 3DSXL and Switch 1 for mobile gaming, not counting phones) but I’m also not discounting the Switch 2. On Switch, I almost exclusively play Animal Crossing, and the performance gains of the Switch 2 upgrade alone make it almost worth it for a game I play almost daily. But I’ve been playing for a year, I’m on my third island, and I’m afraid I’m starting to get tired of it. I know about the free hotel DLC/update coming in January, it’s basically a lite/free version of the Happy Home Paradise DLC (same mechanic), but I think it’ll be too little too late for me, let alone people who have been crossing since ACNH came out in 2020 — or longer, with previous titles. (I have the modded HShop version, Welcome Luxury, which supposedly fixes a lot of stuff, but I’ve had a hard time getting into it after being spoiled by New Horizons.)

Using the deck to just play steam games is pretty straightforward. Sure you can do a bunch of advanced stuff with the deck, but you don’t have to.

True, true but most games she likes are emulation. The Switch games, a PS2 game and Cemu (Zelda).
