Having now watched another twenty seconds of vtube, sorry but the technology just isn’t there yet, their animation isn’t right, they’re fidgety yet stiff, their mouth movements aren’t able to match the words

Watching a youtube video made in 2020 where the person is like "I don't recommend you start with these PS2 games, they're rare and expensive, unless you can think of OTHER WAYS to get them *wink wink* *flashes a picture of a pirate on screen*

They can do like full body motion capture, idk why they usually have it set to just be their upper body standing still

I guess it's a lot less work

the fidgeting at least is probably intentional, they use really broad and exaggerated movements because like puppets if vtubers are sitting perfectly still they look dead. when they walk away from the camera and their character just slumps over its kind of disturbing lmao

some groups have better tech than others though, and even within the big agencies like hololive or nijisanji not everyone has the same level of rig. like it was a Real Big Deal when some people figured out how to wink a couple months back, caused a real winking fad. hanayori girls dorm probably has the best tech in the biz right now, they even have eyebrow control!!

they usually have to go into the office for this stuff and strap on body trackers, the live2d streams just require them to sit in front of an iphone. a lot of it is repurposed steamvr hardware. some of them do have home 3D setups though

Goddamn right it does, that game ruled. I have always wanted a Mortal Kombat game that has MK mechanics in a more open-ended Sleeping Dogs style beat em up and Shaolin Monks is the closest we've come.

If you want to get into alternative role playing away from D&D the bundle has Blades in the Dark which is basically Thief: The Dark Project RPG.

There is a fanmade remake of Renegade but I can't remember the name. Planetside 2 is okay, but it really requires paying the monthly fee if you're at all serious about playing it, and the community is dead at this point.

It's Renegade X. It's actually two things. It's a full remake of the renegade X multiplayer mode, and there's also Black Dawn, which was made as a testbed for the tech and takes you through single player mini-campaign that pretends it could be part of Renegade.

The bundle is setup to keep accepting submissions and retroactively add them to people who purchased it and there are 150 submissions not included yet so it's a good chance by the end of the weekend there will be over a thousand projects included and should serve as a really good way to dip your toes into whats available on itch imo

yeah i kind of expect a few more high profile games to hop on, as well as some of those games that only show up in an itch.io search after you've scrolled down 50 pages

two more pages through the bundle and I still have 4 to go.. I've now added to my folder: Hellstar Squadron, Astrologaster, 10S, Qavo, Retromancer, Big Kaiju Battel: Fighto Fantasy, The King's Bird, Word Forward, Knights of the Card Table, FutureGrind, The Rainsdowne Players, Hair Dash, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons*, Retrace, Beacon, Reky, Bit Rat

I think I'll need to install GOG Galaxy on this laptop just for this folder alone lol

the itch app is really well done, iirc it even uses some kind of sandboxing so there is an extra layer of security on your end?

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I’m gonna pick up that bundle, thanks for sharing it. Somewhat coincidentally I started messing around with GameMaker again, watching the tutorials made by the guy behind Gunpoint and Heat Signature. I feel like all these tutorials start with the same top down Asteroids sort of gameplay so I’ve probably made a handful of these rinky-dink shooters while trying to learn how do something more complex and burning out.

My arc: “Okay I can move and shoot and there’s enemies and a score, this rules. This is a game. Okay, but what if I had a static overlay with a menu that let me adjust the strength of my weapons? Aw man, that’s not as clear cut. Bugger, might as well play something instead of building it.”

We’ll see this time.

That bundle is huge. And there are a lot of known names in there.

Even if I pay $60 for this I'd feel cheap.

Fog of Love

Fog of Love posted:

Fog of Love is a game for two players. You will create and play two vivid characters who meet, fall in love and face the challenge of making an unusual relationship work.

Playing Fog of Love is like being in a romantic comedy: roller-coaster rides, awkward situations, lots of laughs and plenty of difficult compromises to make.

Much as in a real relationship, goals might be at odds. You can try to change, keep being relentless or even secretly decide to be a Heartbreaker. It’s your choice.

The happily ever after won’t be certain, but whatever way your zigzag romance unfolds, you’ll always end up with a story full of surprises – guaranteed to raise a smile!

There's also The King's Dilemma which is King of Dragon Pass if everyone played a member of the Republican party.
