Oh thank God.

I was picturing the community sharpening their pitchforks for this kind of sensitive topic!

(Glad you enjoyed it!)

If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing

mohab, do gaming w I’d love a 2d Resident Evil Metroidvania.

I was gonna say I'd love to see a Resident Evil action game but then I remembered Onimusha exists 😅 And I suppose RE 4-6 to a lesser extent.

I feel like Signalis maybe half the way to a Resident Evil metroidvania? Like, if you bring the perspective down to 2D and tie all the areas together, you basically have an RE metroidvania.

What about abilities though? In Metroid, the suit gets the abilities, but no one in the RE cast has a suit or is magic, so I assume you unlock weapons instead?

neon_nova,

Yeah, weapons. Take a look at shadow complex. It’s a great Metroidvania. You do unlock a power suit at one point, but other than that, you just upgrade your weapons.

mohab, do gaming w Any Strong Opinions on Games in my Steam Wishlist (provisional) from 2024?

Neva is nice if you can pick it up for less than $5.

The combat in Dungeons of Hinterberg bored me really quickly, but it's also a Zelda-like, so if you don't mind the basic combat, maybe give it a shot.

Tenderizer78,

I pick up all games on sale, basically. Neva especially I probably won’t get unless it goes down to $5.

Dungeons of Hinterberg is in my “only because they have demo” folder. I’m not a huge fan of combat in games partly because combat as a gameplay mechanic is conceptually uninspired and partly just because I don’t really get the thrill. Dungeon’s of Hinterberg seems like a story thing first and foremost though.

mohab,

Like in any game period? Big claim and you're probably not interested in backing it up, but I'm curious.

IDK, trailer had a good deal of combat—just thought to give you a heads up in case you care about the combat.

Nothing major, just that combat is the default mode of operation for most games, especially AAA games. So I generally trend away from games that are built around combat.

I’ll play the demo eventually, so I’ll probably find out how I feel then.

Fair enough and let me tell you: as someone who exclusively plays games where combat is the central mechanic, I wouldn't touch the current crop of AAA games either.

First your regular articles, and now an in-depth interview. And you dare suggest your not a proper gaming journalist?

Love your work as always.

If you ever want to play a 2d metroidvania version of silent hill + rule of rose step right up!

Probably some of the most fun I’ve had in a survival horror in ages!

neon_nova,

Thanks! I’ll check that out.

I had no idea that existed but that looks absolutely fantastic. It’ll wishlist that one for certain.

because piracy means stealing

No. No it does not. Piracy is legally copyright infringement, not theft. Stealing requires that the thief deprive the original owner access to the stolen thing. Piracy is not stealing because there is no deprivation of access.

If I made a copy of your car, but you still had access to your car and could drive it like normal, I didn’t steal your car.

AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #22

With a little delay (sorry, life kept me busy enough so I couldn’t read this before), I just finished reading. I gotta say this was a rollercoaster.

I love the news parts, as always, since you manage to get a whole week of news compressed in a single article (and without the clickbait ads) that feels fresh and nice to read.

But knowing the kind of ordeal you are dealing with is heartbreaking. First and foremost, your health comes first. If you need to take a pause from this, you don’t have to apologize, it’s the right thing to do so go ahead and do it. I’m really sorry to hear about all you are going through, I hope you get to feel better soon!! Best wishes from an user who is clearly human!

Cool! I want to look into their work. This seems like something my kid should also know about.

Surprised at how young they started on this journey.

Looks cool! Any plans to publish on GOG or other similar platform? 😁 (DRM-free, StopKillingGames, etc)

Road_Warrior_10,

Not for now, but just on the basis that I have been so focused on getting it done, I haven’t really research other platforms. The main wisdom is to put on Steam as most players are there. I will look into other platforms.

Played it last year. It was a well made and fun ride. Thanks for the laughs and experience! 😁

Road_Warrior_10,

Wow! Thank you so much! Can I ask to leave a Steam review if you haven’t it helps small games to get a bit more visibility! : ) Really grateful for playing it, while making the game, we think no one would ever care when we see someone caring, it’s the best feeling :)

Yaoling is spectacular. Monster taming RPG (think pokemon) with autobattle mechanics.
