Congratulations! 1 more country to beat the threshold requirement (after the Netherlands whose threshold seems will be crossed imminently). France and Ireland seem like solid contenders.

@IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s DOA without an upgraded game engine. I started playing Starfield right after coming off Cyberpunk with RT enabled and immediately requested a refund from Steam, it just looked like absolute shit in comparison.

There are amazing and impressive games being made in Build engine (the one from classic DOOM) even today. The engine is not the issue, it's who's using it and how.

Gamers go all high and mighty with their expletives against creation engine but it doesn't matter, they could use an abacus or unrealdot unitybite rered 6 engine for all that it's worth and the games could still come out bad if they don't change how they approach and develop it.

Ephera,

It’s a slang word to mean the outfit or accessories. I believe, it started out regionally, but it’s been popular with the current teenager generation.

As well as several generations of teenagers before the current one.

sirico, (edited ) do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?
@sirico@feddit.uk avatar

It’s a driver issue while they support the same connectivity tech a trigger could be read as an analogue sticks veriticle axis, without driver support the device can’t be read well by the system.

Reccomendation 8bitdo ultimate Works with Linux and Windows you can switch to console it’s mainly setup for switch, Hall effect sticks so no drift.

TrousersMcPants,

I agree with the 8bitdo ultimate, the pro 2 was my favorite controller for a long time but the ultimate is just so reliable.

False, do games w Anyone else feels like rdr2 have no bad missions?

I thought the game was pretty dull. Too much slowly walking/riding in what’s basically an interactive cutscene

kbal, do gaming w Best way to play the original Prince of Persia Trilogy?
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

That's not the original trilogy. The first Prince of Persia was 1989. But all I can tell you is that Sands of Time was awesome on the PS2. I don't imagine it would've felt as satisfying without a controller if you didn't have one on the PC back in the day. The combat mechanics seemed made for it.

I played it on PC back in the day using KB+M and was quite happy with it.

Damn, I should play 3d sands of time. I’ve just played part of the GBA ons

Blackmist, do gaming w Need tips, when is a non-campaign game considered 'completed'?

When you’re no longer having fun.

chiliedogg, do games w I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta!

It would be neat if it could pull step count logs from fitness devices and watches so it didn’t even necessarily need to be running while you’re doing your walk.

MrScottyTay,

I think it uses the step counter service on your phone. It does not need to be running in the background.

schamppu,

^ Yup, the game doesn’t need to be opened for it to count steps. You can kill the game entirely and open it when you want to, and the steps will load!

schamppu,

This is on our to-do!

We would’ve likely implemented it already, but Google is in the process of killing Google Fit API and replacing it with Health Connect. Health Connect, as of now, is kinda terrible. So we’re waiting for Google to fix their APIs.

I’ve tried my best as indie developer to hurry them :D Last week I was at Gamescom and managed to meet with a director from Google, and asked to connect me with Health Connect team so I can tell them what’s broken and maybe have some insight on when stuff is about to get fixed.

When it comes to Apple, there’s no problem with this. But we want to release wearable support to both platform simultaneously.

One of the things I hated about Pokemon Go was how taxing it was on the battery. It burned through my phone’s ability to hold a charge in less than a year. If your game is constantly tracking steps, I expect it’s constantly running. How does it manage power draw?

I love the concept. Thanks for sharing!

Minnels,

Been playing this for a couple of months and I can say that the battery drain is next to nothing in my experience. No need to keep the app open to track steps.

MrScottyTay,

It gets the step count from the device itself so it does not need to be running at all times to track it. I think it just keeps track of what the number was the last time you opened it and what the number is the next time you open it and it awards you the difference.

mox,

If the accelerometer is running, it’s drawing power, but perhaps that can be done efficiently on some devices.

schamppu,

The sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) are anyways already running on the majority of devices, so WalkScape doesn’t really add to that. The only times it does draw power is when you boot it up and use it. But even that draws very little power - I’ve developed my own game engine on top of Flutter, which is an SDK to build apps and is very battery friendly out of the box!

Itsyaboiwhatevs,

Just checked ok my android (stock android running on an old One Plus Nord) and it’s about 25th on the batter usage list and only used 0.34% of batter, which is less then the app i only need to sign in to my work accounts a few times a day. So atleast in my use it’s so tiny i never even noticed it.

schamppu,

Battery drain is almost nothing. The game doesn’t need to be opened when you walk, and you can kill it entirely. The pedometer is anyways running on most phones regardless if you have WalkScape installed or not, so this doesn’t add battery consumption in that sense either.

For me when I just checked, it’s used less than 0.3% today which is less than most other apps I have installed. I’ve tried my best to keep this as low as possible, and we’ll probably be optimizing this even further in the future if necessary.

I joined in the last beta wave because of your post here on lemmy. Big fan! Personally I’m looking forward to combat features most of all but the pace of development seems strong regardless and I’m enjoying all the new content.

schamppu,

Thank you! After the next update (Quality of Life) I’m moving to work on combat system. It’ll be a longer development process, so before the next update I’m also polishing our development tools so the other members of the team can create content updates with ease while I’m busy with combat. We’re aiming to avoid having lengthier periods of time without fresh stuff.

wyrmroot,

Thanks for all your work and the transparency throughout, I’m excited to keep supporting the project 😀

Megabyte Punch is a side scrolling fighting game where you build your robot with different parts salvaged from fought robots that give you different abilities and powerups.

It is a super fast, casual game that you can bang out in a few nights. It has a pretty good electronic soundtrack, boss fights feel weighty even if they are relatively simple.

One of my favorite games as far as just fun and de-stressing!

Nito, do games w Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before

Cleaning the System is a platformer where you jump through levels as some kind of pogo stick. The movement is really fun and if you bounce well you can build up a lot of momentum, which lends itself to speedrunning.

There is also a free version of it from the GMTK game jam where it placed very well

Rouge like turn based dungeon crawler. Certainly not new by any means, but still a pretty decent little dungeon crawler. The art is cute and the game is pretty simple to pick up, which makes it perfect for more casual play. That said if you’re a completionist, it can get a bit repetitive, but nothing too hair-pulling. Probably not worth the full sticker price, but historic sales have knocked it down to $1.49, which is a nice balance between cheap and fun (took me about 28 hours to 100%).

Valmond,

Isn’t it a pseudo rogue like? Like you (have to) upgrade your ‘village’?

If it’s the game I found it quite tedious(haven’t voted up or down).

AliasVortex,

Yeah, probably. There is a village building/ upgrading component, but it doesn’t have much of an impact on gameplay. It does get pretty tedious, especially if you’re well versed in strategy. I mostly just figured I’d throw it out as a more casual one-shot to pick up on the cheap.

Gauntlet, specifically in the vein of Legends/Dark Legacy. Arrowhead did a reboot-ish of the original style games 10 years ago, let em put some of that Helldivers 2 money into this.

That would be great. A new Gauntlet Legends game would be great.

Good_morning,

Right, I was severely disappointed in the 2014 revival, didn’t feel the same at all
