Game designer created a Playdate game to pop the question to the love of his life (beehaw.org) angielski

Game designer Aaron (Pikaaroon) today showcased how he built a game to propose to his partner. Having previously worked on Sea of Thieves and Warcraft III: Reforged, he’s no stranger to creating colossal playable experiences. For this incredibly important moment in his life, though, he chose to work with the Playdate. Which I...

GammaGames,

Oops! I thought the post UI was letting me add an image and a link, not replacing it. Fixed!

Any Playdate owners in here?

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I’m waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

GammaGames, (edited )

I love mine! The catalog has a ton of awesome community games, itch has hundreds more, and the sdk is really accessible if you ever want to try making something yourself. The season has a lot of variety too, I played through most of it slowly but still have a few of the longer games to finish.

I use a book light at night so don’t have issues with the lack of backlight.

As for games… Factory Farming (source code available!), MDMA, and Hand of the Divine are my current favorites. I’ve played a ton more though, I’d recommend looking through catalog

GammaGames,

I’d bet part of it is the new engine

GammaGames,

Pretty much every gas station I’ve been to the past week had a box of glasses

GammaGames,

People Make Games released a decent overview of the child labor exploitation a few years ago

Unsurprisingly, people aren’t okay with that behavior. It don’t help that Roblox tried to pressure them into removing the video

Almost beaten Mars After Midnight, it’s a great little game!

I’ve also been playing the SW Battlefront rerelease on switch!

  • I like 1 more than 2, 2 has way too many people rolling and I like the maps from 1 more
  • 1 is also less balanced. I got 30 kills camping next to a gonk droid and recon droning orbital strikes over and over
  • There’s not many players, the most I’ve played with on one map is 20
  • Multiplayer crashes are annoying but otherwise I’ve been enjoying it
  • Galactic Conquest is as good as ever
GammaGames,

This growing group of people want to believe themselves a new incarnation of Gamergate, a harassment campaign started in 2014 that targeted women speaking out against misogyny in the video games industry.

I’m so glad journalists aren’t giving them false legitimacy. There’s a user that posts gaming news to another lemmy community and they said it was a “harassment” campaign (the quotes being theirs) and… yikes

GammaGames,

You’re right, it started as a harassment campaign and they used ethics in games journalism as a recruitment tactic. Most of the people roped in were (at least initially) useful idiots

GammaGames,

I played a bit of Bootstrap Island tonight, it’s fun! It’s a vr roguelike island survival game, monsters come out at night and it’s pretty fuckin scary

GammaGames,

It’s a playdate exclusive, played it for half an hour at lunch and had a lot of fun! Looking forward to more tonight. The game’s site describes it as

An entrant-screening, mess-tidying, session-planning, martian-filled game for Playdate.

It has Papers Please vibes but with a goofy alien theme that’s friendlier for kids

GammaGames,

o7

GammaGames,

Early rwby wasn’t pretty

GammaGames,

This sucks.

The podcasts were the main thing I interacted with nowadays so I’m glad those are sticking around, but I grew up with the company and it’s sad to see it go. I hope the roost can continue but I don’t see how this doesn’t hurt the remaining talent.

GammaGames, (edited )

The podcast network is still going, they shared a post on their YouTube. Unsure on the status of officially licensed Ratyboy shirt

GammaGames,

My brother and I replayed a demo from a floppy over and over as kids,Doom 2016 is my favorite entry! If it had some of the combat changes from Eternal it would be a perfect game imo

GammaGames,

Fallout 3 isn’t even comparable to the originals, it’s a completely different game.

GammaGames,

Shh, keep the facts out of this emotionally charged argument

GammaGames,

FO3’s after-ending story play was added in a DLC, I remember one of the devs being surprised at how many people wanted to play in a post-story world

GammaGames,

Still great, just more complicated

GammaGames,

How dare someone else like something you don’t!!! And with their family?! The sick fuck

GammaGames, (edited )

Unfortunate, I wonder how well it did on pc?

GammaGames,

Wow! I hadn’t really heard about it so I assumed, does it say what platform that’s for?

GammaGames,

Apparently Eurogamer and Bloomberg have also corroborated, so I’m more likely to believe it. The rumors are plentiful while we wait!

GammaGames,

But then you’d have to download all 48GB of workshop files you subscribed to in high school because they were funny 🙃

GammaGames,

Some things never change

GammaGames,

Could probably add a few more for the pain of all the wasted dev hours

GammaGames, (edited )

Last week Snowrunner had an update that moved my truck into storage and held it hostage. After paying the extortion fee ($3) for the tire DLC I got it out, apparently one of the default rims was accidentally marked as dlc? Really weird bug.

Also I started playing Dark Souls II, which is very good but I’m also pretty bad at it

GammaGames,

Tbf solid games, have you tried the new map?

GammaGames,

Nvidia’s upscaling tech would be cool, we’d finally get anti-aliasing in a first party Nintendo title

GammaGames, (edited )

I only recently learned that dinner murder parties were a thing, the multi-day one in the video is crazy!

GammaGames,

It is 😬 I really appreciated the nuance they covered the topic with because holy shit

It was also weird to hear one of the interviewed players talk about how people were moved to tears because of how patriotic some of the stories were. Really curious what that even means

GammaGames,

You’re definitely the outlier

GammaGames,

They wouldn’t be doing them multiple a year if they didn’t get sales.

The Witness Appreciation Post angielski

I got the urge to play the witness for the 3rd (or maybe even 4th) time again after being slightly disappointed by the Talos Principle 2, and man I cannot express enough how much I enjoy this game. It just satisfies something deep inside me every time I play it. And I know a LOT of people (probably some here) strongly dislike...

GammaGames,

I played the Witness for… maybe 5 hours? when it came out. A friend got all the beacons and it took forever! I was amazed at how much variation this game had in its puzzles.
I should really pick it up again, maybe I’ll get my partner to try it. Is it on ps5?

also obligatory Joseph Anderson thar be spoilers

GammaGames,

Yes, though it’s mostly been my partner that has been playing! She’s gotten into a gameplay loop of gearing up, heading to the furthest teleport point, exploring until she finds the next, and coming back to re-equip and work on the base stuff. mid-30s level I think, the base is pretty neat too

GammaGames,

lol, sure

GammaGames,

Yup, it’s pretty fun 👍

GammaGames,

Plus the general sound effects for the fast travel points and the area labels are clearly BotW inspired, it’s very blatant. I still like it though, even if it feels derivative it still works imo

GammaGames,

LOL, maybe they fed an ai all the Pokémon and asked it for 150 new creations.

GammaGames,

We bought Palworld yesterday, probably play that most of the week. It mashes up a lot of games and has some nice QoL updates from similar games (like Ark)

GammaGames,

That’s how lots of ps4/5 games work

GammaGames,

No 😭 At least it was for technical reasons
