Widelands - Settlers II inspired game, played a couple of hours, pretty neat.

FreeCIV - how can that gme be missing here? :)

UnCIV - Civ V clone, also pretty neat

OTINOKTYAH,

Thanks. I’ve added the games to the Addendum “Inspired Games”, but i think UnCIV is more a remake

Lumiluz,

I wouldn’t say Unciv is a Civ5 clone with those graphics though…

Esjott,

So remake as the website says? 🤔

Lumiluz,

I’d just say it’s an inspiration and say it’s a standard era 4x game. Graphically it’s a demake, but the cpu opponents are superior to those from V I’d say

Surely it's a clone given that it clones the game mechanics specifically? As in the rules of the game are 1:1 to Civ V, or as close as you'd need to be an expert in the game to tell the difference.

I actually wanted to be a game journalist myself, so I wondered what does it take to bevome one ?

This seems a bit better than most [retail store type] simulator releases that look like cash grab asset flips (and are often quickly abandoned).

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s weird because i feel like it looks like a flip, but it’s all decently well put together. I had one friend say it reminds them a bit of Goat Simulator, but i’m not sure exactly how they meant that

Kinda cool this kind of “work sims” keep popping up. Though I tend to lose interest in them after few hours, as the gameplay generally turns to routine and becomes fairly boring… that said I don’t even know how many hours I’ve spent driving a truck in Euro Truck 2 so… not all routines are the same, I guess?

Is the game fairly dimly lit or is your store just trying to save on electricity?

XeroxCool,

BRB gonna throw that initial description somewhere on a LinkedIn post for a remote job

We bought some lights for the ceilings later to make it brighter because one of my friends was saying the same thing lol. There’s a toggle for reduced lights that’s on by default in settings, but i didn’t mess with that so maybe that will help too

Disclosure: That’s my baby. We’re not very active any more and while we were self hosted for a decade the development shifted to GitHub recently: github.com/maxr-dot-org/maxr/releases (I know but I don’t have the spoons for this any more so the active devs got to decide)

OTINOKTYAH,

that’s awesome! I only played m.a.x. 2 in my childhood but i’ll take a look on that. Can i add it to the list?

@bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It’s FOSS, of course you can 🤓 Fun fact: Most MAX players hate MAX2 to this day. The disappointment is similar to studios getting bought up by EA.

This is great, thank you so much. Saved so I can add something if I come across anything you hadn’t covered yet.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some gaming to do!

OTINOKTYAH,

Have fun :) and Tell me, If you run into troubles or else, so if it’s not working i’ll add this to the list. What game you are starting?

Kory,
@Kory@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ll sure try Diablo, I totally forgot about that. Having played Diablo 2 Resurrected recently, that fits. Also want to try that Lego game, never heard about it, but it looks fun. And maybe some Icewind Dale, but not sure how that holds up :)

MajesticElevator, do games w Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game

Btw why are we getting more expensive games in EUR and GBP while USA pays less than us? Aren’t they supposed to have the bigger salaries?

@vorpuni@jlai.lu avatar

Their sticker price doesn’t have tax, ours has the insane VAT rates already included. That doesn’t help. We still get shafted for a lot of consumer goods.

MajesticElevator,

Okay, makes sense, but even then I feel like we pay too much 😵

Huge +1 recommendation for Manic Miners. Functionally a 1:1 remake with everything you could ask for and more- lots of settings, remastered levels, and a level builder. The (solo) dev got hired by Lego’s video game division afterwards

smeg, do games w Interview: My Q&A with Gardiner Bryant

I clicked on this because I’ve enjoyed your previous articles, despite not having heard of Gardiner before. Maybe it’s just the kind interests we Lemmy users have, but he’s ticking every box for the kind of thing I like to read!

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

And even more so that you’d trust it would be worth a read purely because my other posts have been a nice read! That is so nice to read - thank you!

I find I check in with Gardiner’s blog each day now, I love clean and ‘pure’ sites and articles where the intention isn’t affiliate links or ads, or begging for new Patreon supporters…just the topic at hand!

Again, thank you so much :)

smeg,

Thank you for doing the hard work!

whenever i find a game that i actually want to keep playing i give a quick prayer to the gods, thanking them for their mercy

go figure that game was The Long Dark this time, only thing more violently autistic than a realistic canadian survival game would be a railway planning ga- sigh

Fools Rush In appears to be a fannish remake of the PC-98-only versus STG Touhou Yumeijikū ~ Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, for modern computer systems, released around 2017, though it's a bit jank on the gameplay side of things. Caught wind of it from a couple Jaimers vids on this a while back.

MajesticElevator, do games w Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game

It been quite some time since I haven’t spent more than 30€ for a game

@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

And then you have Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, an AA indy gem that goes for what, 50€ ?

80€ games are a symptom of the marketing cancer that plagues modern AAA games. No need for a 1000 person team, what they need is passion for the medium, and a dedicated team that isn’t impeded by executive greed.

echodot,

One of the most obvious signs of this is the fact that EA had a small team of about 10 people who made one of the best Star wars games that have been released in years. Of course it’s EA, so they screwed it up by shutting the servers down eventually but still, much better than Battlefront II

RampantParanoia2365, do games w Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game

I’m looking at the picture, and I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. There’s no $80 or $1 in this image.

DampCanary,
@DampCanary@lemmy.world avatar

I think $80 comes from:
Borderlands
and £1 comes from difference £35.99 - £34.99

but yes I agree with you they were not clear

echodot,

They are pointing out that there’s loads of good games on Steam that don’t cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn’t justification for that price point.

The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it’s only an extra £1

Personally I’m not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.

crony, do gaming w Let us cry together

Here regular is 1.5 euro per liter, expensive one 1.8-1.9 euro per liter

SpikesOtherDog,

That’s about $6.50/gallon.

In the Midwest it starts looking high at half that

massive_bereavement,

At that price, unicorn blood and printer ink seem cheaper.

CaptPretentious,

Well, not yet anywho

tigeruppercut,

The US has some of the cheapest gas in the world outside the OPEC countries (and I think Venezuela is cheap too). Japan right now is about $4.50/gal

SpikesOtherDog,

Yeah, I’m not sure about the mechanics, but I’m sure plenty of palms are greased to keep gas prices low. It’s one of the things people like to blame on the president.
