An indie RPGmaker-looking mmo seems like it doesn't really qualify for any kind of "industry"

It's not actually an MMO. I think. They did talk about having to pay server costs but I have no idea what.

It was in a bundle a couple of months ago so I doubt anyone actually bought it, but they got some money. :(

sproggiwood is good (goon made I believe), but it got too hard for me too fast (though I tend to suck at these types of games). Has some rpg elements to it (upgrading skills for character classes). Love the graphics in it.

In more ANIMENEWS: The Umihara Kawase series is coming to Steam! If you've never played it, it's a 2D platformer where you use a fishing rod as a grappling hook to navigate stages and capture weird hosed up fish creatures. The first release, coming next month, is based on the latest Vita/3DS release "Sayonara Umihara Kawase+" with 60fps, Steam Controller support, and the usual Steamworks trimmings. It'll be $14.99/€14.99/£10.99

The previous two games in the series are apparently also coming at some vague point.
I would have overlooked this if not for the time Arino did an LP of the 2D games and who I think was the actual artist of the series, sent drawn pictures that judged his gaming prowess. The pictures got angrier over time.

With Sproggiwood where your character is standing is really important - you have to use choke points and movement abilities pretty well since if you try fighting while surrounded you'll probably die.

I'm amazed Elliot Quest is actually on a good sale, I thought I'd never see that happen.

:siren: Darkest Dungeon :siren: is 25% off in the Humble Store

Also FTL is $2.50, it's a great game if you don't have it already

I've also heard Gunpoint is really good, at $2

A Lizard's Wizard looks really cool, does anyone know if it's any good?

I made a case for Darkest Dungeon a few weeks ago if anyone needs further convincing. They were showing off their next dungeon to be added, the Cove, at PAX so that should be coming soon.

FTL and Gunpoint are also well worth it. I suck too much at FTL to even beat it but it's still lots of fun, and Gunpoint is a very tight, well-written 2-hour romp.

I rather enjoyed CAPSULE. There is a story that unfolds, and the monochrome graphics definitely have a retro feel that I enjoy (but I'm old). I recorded a few minutes of gameplay if you want to check it out before throwing money at the screen.

And what should one do to be remembered?
The things you can find in the Age of Wonders 3 Steam Forums, of all places.

quote:

Subject: FriendFrom Ronnie - The World hates me - Hear What Happened!


Hello dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Today I have to share an experience that happened to me today in thinking of how the world hates us.

I'll get into today story but I'll explain how this relates to business and all things in life. It is stories like this is exactly how you market but It is my wish you take this knowledge to do good instead of bad. It starts with having a different opinion in this case the Glory of Jesus Christ over all things.

So what Happened? I was about to get banned on a forum and all the glory to God a true Testimonial as I choose Jesus Christ before any game.

I was in a forum with a game called Age of Wonders 3 a popular game and I made a kind remark that people need to eat and developers need to be paid as there was a remark about how developers are greedy for a cash grab when they ask for money inside a game.

I explained if developers add content for a game they should be paid. I referenced how people have poverty mindsets which makes up a large portion of our population and I referenced scriptures to back up my words.

Being in defense that developers should get paid, The Very developer turned against me in fear of losing sales. This is a clear example of what people do in business not only in the gaming industry but also a normal MLM company.

Look at the screenshot above and see what I wrote on steam for the game forum Age of Wonders 3.

The screenshot above says it all. Maybe think or claim to be a good man or woman but their deep inner roots they are ashamed of conversation of Jesus Christ even when I came in defense. I am glad this happened because now I can make a youtube video and have most likely thousands of views and give all the Glory to Jesus Christ.

Now just think if you do the same for your business? Just by doing good and helping others Jesus Christ takes care of you,your family & business

I cannot begin to tell you many will reveal their true colors even if you think something is great. This applies to relationships, business ventures and more.

Do you know the number one thing people have a fight about through time and history? It is not money, or love it is about God.

There where more wars about that then anything else, Just remember the good fight my friends for Jesus Christ claims victory in the End

Just remember to always remember to do your part rather small or great, never let others belittle you and never be afraid when you have to let go of your friends you thought where your friends. Just the other day I had to unfriend a friend I grew up with for his lifestyle and mine are very different. I respect and wish him well but always remember narrow is the gate just as in business the only friends you will find are the ones that believe in earning a income from home and this is true. The more you love Jesus Christ the Less your love will be for this world where it gets to the point your even letting go of others of whom are living among this world.

I wanted to share this story with you, Thanks for reading

Enjoy your day!

From your business Leader Friend & Brother in Faith,
Ronnie Branch

I've been away for a while. Anything good in the way of RPG and/or Strategy games come out relatively recently?

Most recent games I played were Darkest Dungeon, Divinity: Original Sin, and Dark Souls II.

I heard there was a new Dungeons 2 that might have done a better job of being a Dungeon Keeper successor, was that any good?

It actually owns though and kudos to goon KRILLIN IN THE NAME for making it. It's easily worth a dollar and if you don't think so, you literally haven't put enough time into it. Legitimately the funniest poo poo I've played for a long time.

(plus all his patches are 99% more dad jokes)

It is a surprisingly decent core game and the price is right but I wish they had gone just a little bit further aping Frog Fractions, because having the random events and minigames pop up out of nowhere as you played was probably my favorite part of the game. Even if The Dad With The Iron Shower is total bullshit thanks to the spotty collision detection.

The impression I get is that Kojima always got a ton of creative freedom, given stuff like Raiden becoming the main protagonist. Like so:

Konami: Hey Kojima, MGS1 is a huge hit! We'd like you to make another one.

Kojima: Uhh, can't I make some other game? I'm kind of done with that now.

Konami: No. But we'll give you a huge budget and all the freedom in the world.

Kojima: Ok, fine.

I don't see that happening with contemporary Western publishers at least.

I never really bought Kojima's continued insistence that he was totally done with Metal Gear this time seriously for real after every installment, I think that's just how he works since even his original games like Snatcher are full of goofy humor and fourth-wall breaking.

If you ever get a chance read up on the development of MGS2, the stuff that he cut out or changed is even sillier/more batshit than what was left in. Like at one point he wanted to release the game under the title Metal Gear Solid 3 just to gently caress with people.
