I know Frankie did some art on it but I don't know who else worked on it. It wouldn't surprise me.

Sakurazuka posted:Alwa's Awakening was cool and I'm looking forward to the sequel. Though lol if it ends with the game starting from the beginning again but this time in PS1 3D. alwa's legacy has been out on pc awhile so i can confirm that it does not do that, much as i wished it did

If we're talking indie games, does anyone remember that idiot who went on a hunger strike over not getting an SDK?

Yeah it was this guy; it was a sprite-based RPG for the GBA before and I guess now it's a falling block game on Steam? https://store.steampowered.com/app/529720/bobs_game/ He also tried to kickstart it for Ouya, lmao

Wasn't this the schizophrenic guy living in a van ranting for years on the internet about how he was making the best game ever? I'm surprised there was an actual game and it was actually released.

I mean, it sucks for the indie games that are worth discovering drowning in the sea of infinite indie games, but that's kind of the problem- it's hard to rise to the top when you're just a drop in what's become an oncoming wave. Some better curation to block the utter chaff wouldn't hurt, but it's kinda the same thing I mentioned earlier with Iconoclasts- it's really hard to be a 'good' indie game now when two new great ones come out every week, and you're going to need to find yourself every edge you can secure yourself because you can't count on Nintendo/Steam/Epic/etc to carry your water when they have so many other titles that want to use their buckets too. You're not alone, you're not unique, and if you don't figure out a way to get your message out yourself you're absolutely going to drown because we are hilariously oversaturated with games to play these days from all sides and there's not infinite audience to buy all these new titles that come out every goddamn day.

Shovelware has been a Nintendo problem since at least the Wii days. Still waiting on the HD remaster of Jerry Rice and Nitus' Dog Football

Before that it was the PS2. And hell, the usual culprit pointed to for the Great Video Game Crash (Atari's bankruptcy anyway) is the platform being inundated with shovelware. Said before that even big publishers would dump games on the Wii with no advertising and then blame Nintendo when they don't sell well. Also, indie game dev having a public meltdown of entitlement is pretty dog bites man. Wasn't Jonathan Blow a faux-woke guy?

The video game crash is such a weirdly over-reported and poorly understood event in history I get triggered every time someone posts about it. There wasn't really any sort of "crash" outside north america, and North america's crash didn't last very long at all, with people writing off video games as a dead fad (even though they continued to sell gangbusters anywhere else) and not understanding the phenomenon. We're also not very likely to ever have an actual video game crash ever again. TheDiceMustRoll fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Aug 8, 2020 |

The falling block game is the game that the actual game Bob's Game was supposed to be about, and basically exists as a failed attempt to raise funds for the actual Bob's Game. Also according to some Youtube comments I read awhile back from people who had actually met him, the guy behind Bob's Game was a piece of poo poo and a sex creep even beyond his delusion and insane stunts.

If nothing else, had the Atari-Nintendo deal gone though things would've likely looked a bit different through the 80s, although I suspect Nintendo would've gone alone at some point. I don't think anyone seriously thinks "video games almost died."

The few I’ve bought are accurate and faithful ports. Not many bells and whistles though, make sure you really like the game before getting any.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Hand of Fate 2 is 70% off in the eshop. I have it on pc and really enjoyed it, it’s a fun cyoa/brawler hybrid thing that balances the different elements very well. I haven’t looked into the switch port so I can’t say if there are any issues there, but the underlying game is good.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Hand of Fate 2 is 70% off in the eshop. I think it is super goddamn fun but the initial load time is a little long. Totally fine once you're in the game, though. It's a mix of board game, COYA, Roguelike and brawler. None of it should work but it does. I've yet to beat it but I'll keep trying!

I played it for a couple of runs and I hated it. Like, I can see why people like it, but I had the exact opposite reaction to all the combined elements. Every single game mechanic just made me hate it more

Didn't his game ended up being some super basic RPG maker kind of thing? Like not the worst thing for one person to make but absolutely not something anybody would really want to play. I remember thinking his eccentric behavior was just an internet publicity stunt Guess I'll find out after I watch this video

Fez is like a game designed to appeal to my specific love of 2D/3D perspective world manipulation puzzles, collectathon platformers and Obscure as poo poo Myst nonsense. The dude was a bit of a prick and I wish he'd learned to not Tweet before the internet drove him off. Also that's disapointing from Jblow. Not going to write him off from one bad deleted tweet tho.

To anyone who’s sent in Joycons for drift repair - how long after you mailed them in did you get any communication? I sent mine in a week ago and I half expected at least a “We received your equipment...” email but it’s been silence so far.
