theangriestbird, do gaming w Metropolis 1998 lets you design every building in an isometric, pixel-art city

Looks awesome! and the fact that the dev is starting from a place of having the pathfinding algorithm figured out is promising. Better to start there, rather than end up like Cities: Skylines with abysmal frame rates that even top-end hardware can’t keep up with.

I’m not sure how I feel about the artstyle yet. It certainly looks gorgeous in screenshots, but I wonder if it will be difficult to read when you are actually playing. Camera rotation will be the key for me, personally. If I can’t rotate the camera to get alternate views, that might be a dealbreaker.

tomato,

It will probably allow you to rotate the camera every 90 degrees like cited Rollercoaster Tycoon. At least that’s what I would expect from a game with this kind of graphics.

Is it going to be like the other Analogue products that basically are RTM and they won’t ship for a year and then be out

    Yeah - I think people do have slightly rose tinted spectacles.

    They were engrossing, but sometimes obtuse - and parsing instructions was really frustrating.

    Sam_Bass, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

    Been horsing around in rdr2 for the last couple years here. No real need to up it

    brsrklf, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

    I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

    I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

    Katana314, do games w Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden

    Oh. I wouldn’t know - I have the Roguelike tag filtered out.

    It’s extremely rare that the habit of constantly getting reset to ground zero for little mistakes gives me any sense of adventure.

    Drummyralf,

    I find that with the roguelikes where you upgrade in between runs, losing still feels like winning.

    But to each their own of course.

    Nikls94, do gaming w No one needs this cryptocurrency-powered Steam Deck competitor

    Ah okay. So no refund or re-wind if my account gets hacked and someone spends all my money. Because you know that’s blockchain

    Fenrisulfir, do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

    Nuhuh. I tried planning a trip a month ago and everything was sold out and airfare was astronomical. I’m gonna plan a trip for the Spanish one in 2026 a year early

    kalkulat, do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy
    @kalkulat@lemmy.world avatar

    Sure, why not? It’s not like we have any other pressing issues to address. Let’s keep pouring 100s of billions into the right pockets and press on.

    threelonmusketeers,

    “Por que no los dos?”

    Humanity can pursue multiple awesome endeavours simultaneously.

    atzanteol,

    NASA’s 2024 budget is around $25 billion.

    By comparison Apple’s revenue for last quarter was around $120 billion.

    KingThrillgore, do games w Dungeons & Dragons turns 50 this year, and there’s a lot planned for it
    @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

    I doubt it after the WOTC layoffs. To celebrate, i’m going to study up on Pathfinder 2E.

    My group just tried Pf2e this past weekend, highly recommend! It’s so much better

    Sidyctism, do gaming w Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

    So we are moving from shovelware to excavatorware?

    Honytawk,

    No, we are just moving with the times.

    Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

    Given how many companies have been embracing AI tools it was really only a matter of time until they were allowed on Steam. At least you'll know before hand if you're going into a game with AI-generated content.

    ScruffyDucky, do games w CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024

    I hear there is a job opening at Unity /s

    Epicurus0319,

    Please don’t give him any ideas

    Knusper, do gaming w CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024

    …and just like that, all of the issues and shitty work culture at Activision Blizzard disappeared and they lived happily ever after.

    MJBrune,

    Hey, why is that rug so lumpy? Like everything was just swept under it.
