Ossian is Going For It in late September with a crack at a/the first Pathfinder 2e game:

https://www.ossianstudios.com/2024/09/14/kickstarter-launching-september-24/

quote:

Ossian Studios and Paizo are thrilled to announce the Kickstarter campaign for The Dragon’s Demand will be going live on September 24th, 2024!

Developed by Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights veterans, Pathfinder: The Dragon’s Demand is the first CRPG to feature a comprehensive implementation of the Pathfinder Second Edition rules. The return of a legendary dragon long vanquished sees the town of Belhaim once again under dire threat. The game will present a huge, interactive world to explore, with hundreds of characters and dozens of quests that react to the player’s choices. A cast of colorful companions, including iconic characters such as the goblin alchemist Fumbus, will be on hand to join the player’s party, each featuring their own motivations and backstory.

Pathfinder: The Dragon’s Demand showcases a unique visual style, presenting a game world and miniature-based characters that recreate the look and feel of tabletop roleplaying. The unique, grid-based system allows for fully three-dimensional, turn-based combat. Players will need their wits about them as flying enemies swoop down from the skies to attack, and enemy wizards levitate above the field of battle to toss fireballs down upon their foes. The endless tactical and role-playing opportunities encourage players to explore Belhaim and the surrounding lands in their own way, recreating those feelings of excitement and discovery that make the best tabletop campaigns so memorable.

With over 30 hours of gameplay accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack and professional voice acting, gamers can look forward to a classic, single-player, party-based CRPG experience where they will be able to:

Create deep, custom character builds from a choice of 7 ancestries, 16 classes, and more than 30 backgrounds.
Play as a dwarf, elf, gnome, goblin, halfling, human, or an orc.
Choose their path as an alchemist, barbarian, bard, champion, cleric, druid, fighter, investigator, monk, oracle, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, swashbuckler, witch, or wizard.
Form a party of four with up to three companions out of a possible dozen characters encountered during their adventures to forge bonds of friendship and even romance!
Level up characters to level 8.
Wield a multitude of powerful spells from all four magical traditions: Arcane, Divine, Occult, and Primal.
Equip hundreds of unique armors and weapons, and see them dynamically change on miniature characters.
Explore the region using an interactive world map to travel to many mysterious and dangerous locations across the Dragonfen, Verduran Forest, and the town of Belhaim.

didn't even realize this came out but FNF continues to update, releasing an entire new update where you can play as Pico(the newgrounds uzi guy) with Pico-style remixes of every single stage.

I'm really interested to see the final product if they're going this hard for each character, and it looks like there will be 9 playable characters based on the locked slots on the character select screen. I also really like the intro to the Pico mirror match.

Not actually the first PF2e game, since Dawnsbury Days has been out for a while. But I hope they get funded, cause we need more PF2e games.

Sure enough, I felt like there was Something but it escaped me---also Good Lord has Dawnsbury seen quite some substantial updates since launch early'ish this year..

How about a dino "immersive sim"? Despite my hatred for the name of that genre, this game looks rad as heck. It has a vertical slice demo on Steam. It's really neat, albeit it's a bit too dark.

If it interests you, considering throwing them a few bux.

71 hours left on this. They're 1.5k away from their goal. Spread the word! Here is the demo I mentioned.

I assume that the 90's graphics trend is a cheaper way of making games, and developers aren't making games ugly just because.

A bit of both but someone did say that this aesthetic allows them to bang out a model really quickly, like 1 or 2 hours - it may have been quicker. But I imagine the texture creating is a bit more tough.

People are making games that look like PSX games because the aesthetic is cool and the people making those games (and the people buying them) have nostalgia for that generation of console hardware.

At the Heart of the city is an Alien horror, so vile and so powerful that not even death can claim it.
PSX aesthetic for an immersive FPS is a really strange choice given they were rarely on consoles.

Don't hold me to this but I don't think PC graphics were as good in the 90s as they are now. Also it is a blend of influences, like they're basically doing Dino Crisis as System Shock rather than Resident Evil?

Disgraced developer of The Day Before, a game that bombed so horrifically they had to pull it from sale on steam four days after release, now gives a wishy-washy apology with vague promises to do better this time and starts a kickstarter for a new game that looks like some generic mobile trash: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fntasticgames/escape-factory

It somehow has over $11,000 raised by 29 individuals so far. They're really not beating the scam allegations on this one.
